  1. Death of a Dream

    Horseshoe replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    The best tactic in the face of perceived internet bullying is to ignore said poster. You are getting totally worked up, arguing repeatedly with someone you don't know and whose opinion of you should...

  2. Nursing student theft

    Horseshoe replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry for all you went through, but very glad they are replacing the

  3. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    Horseshoe replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    The only two names I have seen are the same person...the name which the perpetrator legally changed her name to, which is public record, and the second name she acquired when she married, also public...

  4. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    Horseshoe replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    I've read the nursing forum on nurses with criminal backgrounds here, and it always confused me a bit about this point. It seems that many states do require all convictions be reported to the BON,...

  5. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    Horseshoe replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    She's already been outed as the murderer on the internet many times over before now. It's not really a secret in the true sense of the word, though perhaps some of her acquaintances don't realize the...

  6. Nurses Diverting Narcotics.

    Horseshoe replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    Did you get the sense from the DON that they took this seriously and would follow

  7. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    Horseshoe replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    This case is interesting, of course. It's amazing and rather disconcerting to see how easy it is to find out information about a person. With just a couple of clicks, I know what the woman first...

  8. Physician Bullying of Nurses Reaching Epidemic Levels

    Horseshoe replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Nursing News

    The fact that she was not in jail and was able to work anywhere as a doctor is an

    Horseshoe replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    Also, Karen Quinlan's family fought for the right to withdraw

  10. The Story of Jahi Continues

    Horseshoe replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    The word "comatose" to describe a woman who was diagnosed as brain dead was not remotely

  11. Stories of the pre-vaccine days

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    From what I remember, even the Dystonia Foundation distanced themselves from her after viewing the tapes of her movements. At the time this story made headlines, many neurologists who specialize in...

  12. The Story of Jahi Continues

    Horseshoe replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    Normally with brain death, that is not the case. Usually when a patient is declared brain dead, the hospital is under no obligation to continue to provide life support after that legal determination...

  13. The Story of Jahi Continues

    Horseshoe replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    Even if it became clear that CHO was completely negligent, I don't see how it really changes anything as it relates to what to do about Jahi. She will still be brain dead with absolutely no chance at...

  14. The Story of Jahi Continues

    Horseshoe replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    Many people have mentioned it, but do remember that there was a young man who was diagnosed as brain dead at the age of 4. His parents fought removal of life support and won. His heart gave out 20...

  16. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    Horseshoe replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    When I saw it, I thought it seemed a little awkward... I recognize the voice of that doctor, and if it is who I think it is, and knowing him from past interactions, I'm stunned that he would be a part...

  17. Support Kaci Hickox

    Horseshoe replied to nurse2033's topic in Disaster Preparation

    LOVE!!!!!

    Nice.

  19. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    Horseshoe replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That doesn't mean it qualifies as an airborne transmitted virus. Not sure of your point. Airborne-transmitted viruses can travel great distances in the air. They are not heavy like large droplet...

  20. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    Horseshoe replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It is not the truth. Ebola is not spread via the airborne route. It simply isn't. One doesn't have to believe the CDC to know that ebola is not transmitted that way. Simply look at the infection...

  21. 10 Americans Possibly Exposed to Ebola Returning to US

    Horseshoe replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Strange-did they not take precautions when "they tried to help their sick

  22. The Story of Jahi Continues

    Horseshoe replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    I don't personally remember piling on about that particular subject, but I cannot argue with the truth of your

  23. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    Horseshoe replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ebola is absolutely NOT airborne. Going over this again and again... John Duncan was around scores of people in Dallas even AFTER he became very sick. None of his close contacts became ill. If...

  24. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    Horseshoe replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That study never showed that ebola was airborne. It was actually debunked even further in a follow up study by one of the original authors of the first study. This has been discussed numerous times...

  25. American With Ebola Headed to NIH

    Horseshoe replied to herring_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well said. Hoever, I wouldn't count on any new insight on the part of politicians. When Kaci Hickox had won her freedom and was returning home, Christie continued to use language about her...
