  1. Cheating in nursing school

    Horseshoe replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I have issues with the integrity of a nurse who cheated her way through nursing school, even if she was able to pass the NCLEX. I don't want someone who engages in serial dishonesty taking care of me...

  2. Cheating in nursing school

    Horseshoe replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Well, that's real nice. Excuse me if I state for the record that I really hope that I and my loved ones are blessed with nurses who actually didn't cheat their way through school. Same goes for...

  3. best track for LPN and Non-nursing bachelor

    Horseshoe replied to ashley beau's topic in General Students

    The OP has a non nursing Bachelors degree. There ARE MSN programs for those who have a non nursing Bachelors degrees. She could have skipped the LPN program and gone straight into one of the direct...

  4. Being bullied at work

    Horseshoe replied to Mariah2019's topic in General Nursing

    Add me as one who disagrees that we have "all been through it." I was NOT bullied as a new nurse. My unit had an awesome manager. The culture comes from the top, and our culture was one that nurtured...

  5. On this week's episode of 'People Offending the Entire Profession of Nursing'...

    Horseshoe replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    She's Canadian. I believe the entry level RN is a BSN. Maybe the Canadian nurses could speak to the kind of clinical education a BSN candidate

  6. Help with school assignments & disability

    Horseshoe replied to RedRocket's topic in General Students

    Of course they have the right. Accommodations for a documented disability is a different issue; it doesn't change the fact that a school has the right to determine the method(s) they will use to...

  7. I have DUIs on my past record.

    Horseshoe replied to Domino2019's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Wow, you have been through hell and back. Your story is a powerful one. BONs usually look at things on an individual basis, so it's hard to give you a hard and fast answer. But I'd like to...

  8. Denver Weatherman Loses Job over Twitter Remarks about Nurses:

    Horseshoe replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

    No one stopped him. He got to say exactly what he wanted to

  9. Denver Weatherman Loses Job over Twitter Remarks about Nurses:

    Horseshoe replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

    Are those the people who go into the hospital for what newspapers always call

  10. Nursing school Clinicals

    Horseshoe replied to Trinity33's topic in General Students

    Just would like to add that no one "makes" you cry. You have to get a handle on your emotions. Crying can be seen by some as a sign of weakness or unprofessional behavior, and it may well have put a...

  11. When to change name (marriage)?

    Horseshoe replied to hannahannah's topic in General Students

    You've learned the hard way that our plans can get derailed (my condolences for your loss). I would not change your name until you are actually married. People do this all the time with no huge...

  12. Bachelor Degree - Needed in every state?

    Horseshoe replied to nycmoon's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Whether or not the BSN is required is highly dependent on geographical location. There is no one state to my knowledge where the requirement of a BSN is universal. In every state one can find nursing...

  13. Bachelor Degree - Needed in every state?

    Horseshoe replied to nycmoon's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If all you do is wipe butts, you've got yourself one sad little job there. My BSN at a public university cost me less than sending my kid to a private elementary school. No debt for

  14. Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    Horseshoe replied to FrustratedExStudent's topic in General Students

    I think more than anything that the mom and dad baby moment is/should be a sacred time for them. The students' chatter was inappropriate no matter what, but doubly so if it interfered with that...

  15. Denver Weatherman Loses Job over Twitter Remarks about Nurses:

    Horseshoe replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

    The nurse to patient ratio has been rising. It's no wonder that patient families are feeling it. Until administrations who purposely under staff in order to save money are called on this practice,...

  16. Hardship: none of my business or a problem?

    Horseshoe replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    You've been told this umpteen times: It's not criminal for you to live in your van. But you cannot just park it anywhere you want. Owners of private property have the right to forbid people from...

  17. What's up with this RN?

    Horseshoe replied to Guest219794's topic in General Nursing

    I was never trained to chart that

  18. Looking up patients on Facebook

    Horseshoe replied to falconersys's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I was agreeing with you/disputing some other posts which insist that a person's name is

  19. Hardship: none of my business or a problem?

    Horseshoe replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Missed the window to edit. Should say

  20. Hardship: none of my business or a problem?

    Horseshoe replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    It's not against the law to live in a vehicle. That doesn't mean you have the right to park that vehicle anywhere you want. I don't know what relevance HIPAA (not HIPPA) has in this conversation....

  21. Hardship: none of my business or a problem?

    Horseshoe replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    There is probably no written policy saying you cannot bring your pet boa constrictor or taratula into the building after your shift either. It sounds like you have confused the terms "right to work"...

  22. Looking up patients on Facebook

    Horseshoe replied to falconersys's topic in General Nursing

    Really amazing, isn't it?????? So, taking that notion further, if you are carrying your phone in your pocket near a patient who has their phone in their room, you could potentially get that same "you...

  23. Sen. Maureen Walsh Response to Backlash

    Horseshoe replied to falconersys's topic in General Nursing

    She sounds like she is giving a lot more thought and anger to the "hateful responses" she has received than to the actual precipitating incident that resulted in those retorts. Okay, so she never...

  24. Does anyone here actually like nursing?

    Horseshoe replied to Sumdaymurse's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto for me. People are more likely to come to a place like AN to complain than to talk about how they are content. But there are nevertheless some big issues that need solving in healthcare...

  25. Does ANYONE like the hospital?

    Horseshoe replied to RatherBHiking's topic in General Nursing

    I liked working at the hospital as far as it goes. What I didn't like was working holidays and weekends. So I left for a stand alone endoscopy clinic and a private OR (both PRN), neither of which are...
