  1. How Do You Fit In 30mins Of Exercise In Your Work Day?

    Horseshoe replied to RegenerativeNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Being overweight is primarily a diet problem. Doing a few curls at the nursing station or a couple of lunges in the hallway isn't going to solve that. Get the diet in line and save the exercise for...

  2. Failed -- unacceptable reason

    Horseshoe replied to yolonono's topic in General Students

    For my first degree (education), we had to take an entire class on testing, and a great deal of that class involved what makes a good exam (and why). For our big project, we had to design an exam...

  3. I’m so over Nursing School

    Horseshoe replied to Diana Gomez's topic in General Students

    It might be normal, but it doesn't change the fact that instructors are looking for you to be peaking right about now. They want you to be able to put it all together...all the little bits and pieces...

  4. In trouble afraid of being kicked out don't know what to do

    Horseshoe replied to Sweetb90's topic in General Students

    I guess I don't understand why people have to make public so much of what ends up being pretty mundane stuff that others really couldn't care less to read about. That said, I concur with others that...

  5. Unfair Tests?

    Horseshoe replied to EverConfused's topic in General Students

    Go to see him during posted office

  6. Preceptor is SO BAD!

    Horseshoe replied to Guest606's topic in General Nursing

    Um, NO, that was a direct quote from the original

  7. Fired for saying i might file safe harbor

    Horseshoe replied to Wish4goodstaffing's topic in General Nursing

    The problem with the post you are agreeing with is that in Texas (don't know if it's ever been made clear that's where the OP is), you can't "file quietly." You do not file with the BON, you must go...

  8. Why go to LPN school?

    Horseshoe replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I'm having a great day. Just sold my Dad's car for him for the price he wanted after having a stroke, and I'm so relieved. Could not be better! My apologies, I didn't realize we are not...

  9. Passed NCLEX with 265

    Horseshoe replied to RNBSNJU19's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sorry you had to go through that, but congrats on passing. I remember leaving after the computer shut off after 75 questions and I had no clue how I'd done. My D recently took the Texas Bar Exam. It's...

  10. Why go to LPN school?

    Horseshoe replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    It is her business here on AN. That's why she came here to ask rather than asking the particular individual. People ask many similar questions here, such as "Why do you get the BSN even though it...

  11. Fired for saying i might file safe harbor

    Horseshoe replied to Wish4goodstaffing's topic in General Nursing

    If an employer fires you for invoking Safe Harbor, they ARE breaking the law and can be held liable in civil court. What none of us knows for sure is whether or not this protection is in place for the...

  12. Mon-Fri Rn Jobs no weekends or holidays

    Horseshoe replied to Camizzle222's topic in General Nursing

    Don't you have to take call, thus putting you at work on holidays or nights? My Dad had a stroke on Thanksgiving. The IR call team had to come in that night and work in order to perform an emergency...

  13. Why go to LPN school?

    Horseshoe replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    The OP didn't say she grilled a particular person about her choices. She's asking a question to the general readership of AN. This is exactly the place for a question of this

  14. Fired for saying i might file safe harbor

    Horseshoe replied to Wish4goodstaffing's topic in General Nursing

    I've gotten responses to my questions every time I've emailed the Texas

  15. Night shifters- try a weighted blanket

    Horseshoe replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    My D's boyfriend bought her one because he read that they can help with anxiety. She loves hers and claims it helps a

  16. Fired for saying i might file safe harbor

    Horseshoe replied to Wish4goodstaffing's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I think that is correct. But the usual consequence of filing Safe Harbor is that it makes the facility re-think following through with the assignment because now there is documentation of...

  17. Failed -- unacceptable reason

    Horseshoe replied to yolonono's topic in General Students

    I usually agree with the "it's not really one point, it's many one points over time" argument. But if the question was truly written in a way that the book answers exactly, it's simply wrong to deny...

  18. Fired for saying i might file safe harbor

    Horseshoe replied to Wish4goodstaffing's topic in General Nursing

    Even in an at-will state, employers can’t actually fire you for absolutely anything. They can’t fire you for invoking safe harbor. However, the OP didn’t actually file. This is where an...

  19. Fired for saying i might file safe harbor

    Horseshoe replied to Wish4goodstaffing's topic in General Nursing

    In Texas, filing for Safe Harbor is not a guarantee. It goes to peer review. If peer review determines that the assignment was not unsafe, the Safe Harbor protection wouldn't

  20. Fired for saying i might file safe harbor

    Horseshoe replied to Wish4goodstaffing's topic in General Nursing

    What part of this are you not getting???? Nurses have the right to refuse to accept an unsafe assignment AT ANY TIME-when they arrive or any time during their shift. "I'm not sure why you are reading...

    Horseshoe replied to Wish4goodstaffing's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how it could be made more clear:

  22. Fired for saying i might file safe harbor

    Horseshoe replied to Wish4goodstaffing's topic in General Nursing

    Muno, what the heck. It says right above that: A) when the conduct is requested or assignment made; Texas Safe Harbor law absolutely protects nurses who are given what they reasonably perceive to be...

    Horseshoe replied to Wish4goodstaffing's topic in General Nursing

    This article explains Safe Harbor in New Mexico and Texas: Note that in Texas, Safe Harbor only applies to facilities that employ at least 8 nurses.
