  1. RN, ADN being obsolete

    Horseshoe replied to lovewaves's topic in General Students

    LPNs have been gone from hospitals in my area for a long time. Not even one of the places I've worked at will hire them. In my state, an LPN could not be DON of any nursing facility that also employs...

  3. RN, ADN being obsolete

    Horseshoe replied to lovewaves's topic in General Students

    She said if you plan on working OUTSIDE of the US, you need a degree. I don't know if that is true or not, but your comment refers to US

    Someone who purports to be a nurse wrote the following comments on CBS Denver facebook page: Nothing like blaming the

  5. I didn't wake up on time and was too late to come for AM shift?

    Horseshoe replied to Surgonconurse's topic in General Nursing

    It's never happened to me. I have, however, dreamed that it happened-about 1,000 times. One time my manager called me early one morning saying I didn't show up for work. I told her no way I'd gotten...

  10. Help! Done with ASN program since July and still not able to take boards.....

    Horseshoe replied to LPN_SLIM's topic in General Students

    Hmm, interesting. Well, I'll just repeat that in spite of google, it's important to remember that no one is never wrong, including you. Hell, I'm wrong about something on a regular basis. Moral of...

  11. RN, ADN being obsolete

    Horseshoe replied to lovewaves's topic in General Students

    BSNs have "an RN license," so clearly the "RN license" is not becoming obsolete. Apparently you are referring to RNs with an ADN degree not being able to get good jobs. This is true in only a few...

  12. Help! Done with ASN program since July and still not able to take boards.....

    Horseshoe replied to LPN_SLIM's topic in General Students

    Completely apart from this debate, I'm just curious, what is your background? Do you work in healthcare administration? You often purport to know how things are done "everywhere," whether it's how...

  13. Exciting Possible Treatment for Alzheimer's! And the first Patient is a Nurse

    Horseshoe replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, my friend has early onset Alzheimer's. She is a slim, physically active person who has always watched her diet, is very athletic, and looks far younger than her years. Her problem seems...

  14. Urgent question

    Horseshoe replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    The fact that they would dare ask you to do such a dangerous thing (working 24 hours straight?!?!) is almost beyond belief. Just

  15. Exciting Possible Treatment for Alzheimer's! And the first Patient is a Nurse

    Horseshoe replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend with early onset Alzheimers (diagnosed at age 53). I wonder if she has heard about this

  16. Is this fair move for my immediate supervisor to report me as noncompliant?

    Horseshoe replied to dehlnmaria's topic in General Nursing

    As someone who has done a similar thing, I'll say that while reminders from others are nice, at the end of the day, this is on you. We are adults and are ultimately responsible for keeping our...

    Horseshoe replied to GlenwoodUSN's topic in General Nursing

    True, and just because something is a "PLANT" doesn't mean it can't be just as dangerous to humans as a "man made chemical." I'm not saying marijuana is dangerous, just taking issue with the...

  20. Academic adviser says I'm selling myself short by going into nursing.

    Horseshoe replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Students

  21. Which areas in hospital least physically demanding?

    Horseshoe replied to TinyDancer01's topic in General Nursing

    I have never worked cath lab, but I have observed more than a few procedures while considering the switch (admittedly years ago). Those nurses weren't often sitting, and I would never had thought to...

  23. Nurse Imposters

    Horseshoe replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    My BON says they will essentially send what are "ceast and desist" letters to the offending medical practice. In egregious cases, they can notify local law enforcement. But they of course do not have...

  24. Nurse Imposters

    Horseshoe replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    Not in my state. You cannot call yourself "a nurse" unless you are licensed. It's not necessary to use the word "registered" in order to be in violation of the

  25. Least "demanding" nursing Jobs?
