  1. Fired for saying i might file safe harbor

    Horseshoe replied to Wish4goodstaffing's topic in General Nursing

    Again, not the case in my state. and also: https://www.bon.texas.gov/rr_current/217-20.asp Safe Harbor should not be filed just because you don't want to accept an assignment. This should be...

    Horseshoe replied to Wish4goodstaffing's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know where the OP practices, but in Texas this is absolutely not

  4. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    Horseshoe replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    I think it's fair to state that many elite schools-but Ivy League in particular-are KNOWN for giving financial aid in amounts far greater than many public schools. If you can get in and qualify, it...

  5. Dilemma! Help please!!

    Horseshoe replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Students

    Apply for what you want. Just be aware that L & D is very hard to get into in many

  6. Half the class expelled... help.

    Horseshoe replied to LoveGuineaPigs's topic in General Students

    That's not how it works. You would need to file a lawsuit. Only then will you get a court date and chance to present your

  7. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    Horseshoe replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    If memory serves, isn't U Penn the only Ivy league school that offers a nursing degree at the Bachelor's level? I looked at their program once, and it seemed far superior than many of the degree...

  8. Will be shadowing an ICU nurse on Monday. What can I expect and what are some questions I can ask?

    Horseshoe replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    I was going to say something along the same lines. On the day you visit, it might seem like the most boring place in the world to work. Or you might be blown away by the acuity and the (hopefully...

  9. Secondary PTSD spread the word PLEASE!!!

    Horseshoe replied to Messedup101's topic in General Nursing

    Your posts are so unclear. It seems like you have said the job caused your PTSD, then other times it seems you are simply criticizing them for not helping you through it, but other times it sounds...

  10. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    Horseshoe replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    What many Ivy League schools CAN offer is incredibly generous financial aid. Some of them are way better than most other schools if you can show financial need. The hardest part is getting

  11. Overturning a grade is it possible?

    Horseshoe replied to Misscruella's topic in General Students

    People are so naive with regard to suing someone. You have to have the potential for large damages AND have an excellent chance of winning for an attorney to bother. This does not appear to be that...

  12. What city do you work in and how much do you get paid hourly?

    Horseshoe replied to Mortaaaay's topic in General Nursing

    Glad to see these impressive differentials. Wasn't so great back in the day, even adjusting for inflation. Right as I was leaving, they were even trying to backpedal on things like holiday...

  13. PRN nurse forced to take a call shift **NEED ADVICE**

    Horseshoe replied to RN08021982's topic in General Nursing

    First, that would NOT have been abandonment, and second, that is exactly the kind of mentality they were counting on. WHY would you miss a midterm to work a shift you were not required to work? That...

  14. Secondary PTSD spread the word PLEASE!!!

    Horseshoe replied to Messedup101's topic in General Nursing

    When I saw "bored and bread American," I wondered if you were using a phone. Yes, it helps us as the reader for you to be calm and focused when you post. No one can help you if your posts are...

  15. Thinking of Quitting Nursing School

    Horseshoe replied to nstudent2019's topic in General Students

    Of course they do. Many people are making more money as a nurse than they were before. Some nurses make six figures. That is “big money” to a lot of

  16. Thinking of Quitting Nursing School

    Horseshoe replied to nstudent2019's topic in General Students

    Nothing worth having ever came easy. And this, too, shall pass. You have to decide if the end result is worth it-are you giving up at the first sign of trouble? Is this your typical MO? How much...

  17. Overturning a grade is it possible?

    Horseshoe replied to Misscruella's topic in General Students

    You "have a chance at passing" is not a guarantee. You threw the dice by staying in the course and it did not go your way. The only thing I see here that seems fishy is saying you are past the...

  18. Failed By One point

    Horseshoe replied to amianurse's topic in General Students

    I feel for the OP. Coming that close would be very discouraging. But general question: How come everyone who fails out of program only needed one more point? No one ever comes on and said, "well, I...

  19. Secondary PTSD spread the word PLEASE!!!

    Horseshoe replied to Messedup101's topic in General Nursing

    Also, as to your thread title, what exactly are we supposed to be "spreading the word"

  20. Secondary PTSD spread the word PLEASE!!!

    Horseshoe replied to Messedup101's topic in General Nursing

    It seems English is not your first language, so I can barely understand your posts. I do get that you were drinking the night before a shift to self medicate for anxiety, but weren't clear by the time...

  21. Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

    Horseshoe replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    That ship has sailed. Big time. It's probably only going to get

  22. Immunizations for uninsured

    Horseshoe replied to seericap's topic in General Students

    This still doesn't sound

  23. Immunizations for uninsured

    Horseshoe replied to seericap's topic in General Students

    That makes zero sense. First of all, in most states, except for alcohol consumption "legal adulthood" begins at 18. Secondly, the ACA prohibits this kind of action. Your mother should be raising holy...

  24. Is this a Med Error?

    Horseshoe replied to AllyRN's topic in General Nursing

    At first I thought you were joking. I don't care who it is (but really???? just approaching a random person for info-and taking their word as Gospel- just because they are wearing scrubs and a...

  25. Nursing Scrubs Policy Question

    Horseshoe replied to nursesaba's topic in General Nursing

    I've never worked in an environment where adding "motivational text" was allowed on scrubs. The most liberal policies for scrubs are often found in pediatric units, but I've never seen anything that...
