  1. Spouse of nurse

    Horseshoe replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    How dare you...I mean...I completely agree..or maybe I don’t...or I was just thinking the same thing... ? Never

  2. Spouse of nurse

    Horseshoe replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    Dollars to donuts there are a few posters here who would have NO problem if the husband made 5 times more than the wife (and would just consider her lucky rather than lazy), but don't have respect for...

  3. Legal obligation for disaster relief

    Horseshoe replied to kardz30's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't understand why the OP agreed to be a member of a "disaster relief team" when she had no intention of showing up in the event of a disaster. Learning how to say "no" is an essential skill and...

  4. Will I lose my nursing license for a traffic violation?

    Horseshoe replied to karmax1's topic in General Nursing

    In my state, when the BON asks about criminal conduct, it specifically omits traffic violations from consideration in the question. The OP may be worrying about nothing. She should contact her BON and...

  6. Will I lose my nursing license for a traffic violation?

    Horseshoe replied to karmax1's topic in General Nursing

    The fact that she made a point of saying she was on the opposite side of the road as the bus and "50 feet away" made it seem as though she felt the ticket was unfair. She has now edited that statement...

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

    Horseshoe replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    My Ds and I sometimes take pics of our food (whether we cook ourselves or at a restaurant) and send it to each other in texts because we are interested in cooking and sharing recipes. When a meal...

  8. Will I lose my nursing license for a traffic violation?

    Horseshoe replied to karmax1's topic in General Nursing

    I was with you until the last words in that 1st paragraph. Why the "lol"? I think passing a school bus is one of the worst of the traffic offenses, and the injuries and deaths that occur when people...

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

    Horseshoe replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    The First Amendment does not protect individuals from consequences meted out by private corporations. It's amazing how few people understand the 1st amendment. Secondly, no one can prevent you from...

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

    Horseshoe replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Not much more to add about the advisability of posting selfies on social media with a facility logo in the background, even if blurred, etc. I will also go on to agree with ZDogg that whoever outed...

  11. How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    Horseshoe replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    I have often seen Docs wearing white coats with John Smith, M.D., P.A., FACP on them. Sometime "Cardiology" or their specialty on the second line. I always wondered why they bothered with the P.A....

  12. Full-time job, nursing school, and a baby?

    Horseshoe replied to coffeecup's topic in General Students

    Lots of us have had children while attending nursing school. It is very stressful, not going to lie. If you have a LOT of support from your husband and you have excellent child care options, it can be...

  13. How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    Horseshoe replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. I'm often asked by patients if I am a registered nurse or an LVN. Some most definitely seem to

  16. How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    Horseshoe replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    As a general rule, I'd say include RN plus the highest level of education (MSN for example would mean there is no need to also list ASN & BSN) and the highest certification that is relevant to...

  17. Is 63 to old to start nursing school?

    Horseshoe replied to Mallory Sunset's topic in General Students

    Says a second semester student who has NOT yet worked as a nurse. I don't know if the OP is up to the challenge or not, but nursing is HARD work at any age. Please don't act as though you are in the...

  18. Is 63 to old to start nursing school?

    Horseshoe replied to Mallory Sunset's topic in General Students

    Sorry, I'm at the tail end of the Baby Boomers, and I could not disagree more. I've had wonderful care from 20 and 30-somethings. Kindness and compassion aren't necessarily age related. I've also had...

  19. Job Opportunity or Relationship

    Horseshoe replied to ctruon1's topic in General Nursing

    Get a year under your belt in SF so that you can be marketable elsewhere. If your BF can't wait a year for you, he's not the right

  20. Smoking as a bar to nursing - beyond silly

    Horseshoe replied to brianbooth's topic in General Nursing

    An anecdote of one is not data. You seem rather defensive. We aren't talking about you personally, your work ethic compared to your coworkers; this is referring to smokers as a population in general...

  21. Smoking as a bar to nursing - beyond silly

    Horseshoe replied to brianbooth's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't just about insurance. Smokers cost employers a lot money in terms of loss of productivity, more call outs, etc. This has been well documented. It's possible that obesity (especially morbid...

  22. Med Math

    Horseshoe replied to guest1122560's topic in General Students

    Med math is really, really basic. You'll be

  23. Accelerated BSN Student Loan

    Horseshoe replied to chapm199's topic in General Students

    Okay, but then you have federal income tax, SSI tax, and if I'm not mistaken, MN has state income tax on top of it. Not exactly a king's

  24. Unfair Clinical Evaluations

    Horseshoe replied to guest723's topic in General Students

    Keep in mind we are hearing only the student's version of events. I'm sure if someone was passing judgment on your behavior without having been there and not hearing one word from you about the...

  25. Unfair Clinical Evaluations

    Horseshoe replied to guest723's topic in General Students

    For God's sake, don't say or imply that to the nurses who are NOT receiving the benefit of all that money you are paying. Any suggestion that your tuition dollars somehow obligate them to teach...
