  1. Health insurance that restricts employees from receiving care outside of employer owned ho

    Horseshoe replied to floatRN's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for years at an endoscopy center. Most of the employees had their colonoscopies done there. When I asked why, they said because by working with these physicians, they knew for a fact which...

  2. An lpn with no desire to work in the hospital.should I get my rn?

    Horseshoe replied to LPNTORN704's topic in General Nursing

    There are many BSN-prepared bedside nurses who have no desire to serve in a supervisor

  3. The 'Q' Word During a Full Moon

    Horseshoe replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    No, because that would be magical thinking. I don't have that kind of

  4. Denied Nursing School.... Again

    Horseshoe replied to kkb91's topic in General Students

    In many areas, it's just as hard (or harder) to get into community college nursing programs as it is to get into four year

  5. Opposite Sex Coworker Social Boundaries

    Horseshoe replied to cyc0sys's topic in General Nursing

    I see it somewhere in the middle between your ultra rosy take and the OP is a jerk take. I thought he was less than sensitive, put more into the whole need for "closure" business than was warranted,...

  6. Blew a vein during clinical

    Horseshoe replied to KitKat2019's topic in General Students

    I am allowed to state my opinion that it's not worthy of a rant, that's "who I am." You can't prevent me from doing that. Vent, yes, rant, no. MY OPINION. If you don't like it, too bad. I've been...

  7. Blew a vein during clinical

    Horseshoe replied to KitKat2019's topic in General Students

    Venting frustration and embarrassment is one thing. A rant is another thing altogether. I don't blame the OP for being embarrassed and frustrated. But it's not deserving of a rant imo. The instructor...

  8. Health insurance that restricts employees from receiving care outside of employer owned ho

    Horseshoe replied to floatRN's topic in General Nursing

    Be glad you have coverage at all. I work PRN and DH is self employed. In my state, there are only 2 options for private insurance for owners of small businesses. We got a letter yesterday that stated...

  9. coworkers calling me stupid to and in front of patients

    Horseshoe replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    The OP doesn't share your feelings about these kinds of interactions. And she doesn't believe that the statements are affectionate joking coming from people who are her

  10. Nursing professor thinks half of the class as cheaters

    Horseshoe replied to cjprenurse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Exactly. And it sounds to me like some of the OP's information is simply hearsay, so again, hard to know exactly what

  11. Inverted T wave

    Horseshoe replied to car48's topic in General Nursing

    That's correct. One of the things we agree to when we sign up here is to neither give nor request medical advice. For AN, there are clearly very good reasons for this policy. And I agree that the OP...

  12. Thoughts on stress

    Horseshoe replied to Jstimmm's topic in General Students

    Why the histrionics over what is pretty much a benign post? It was a simple request that you use paragraphs in order to make it easier to read. And you respond with hysterics? Hmm, guess you are...

  13. coworkers calling me stupid to and in front of patients

    Horseshoe replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    All new nurses make mistakes. For that matter, all experienced nurses make mistakes, just less often than those just out of the gate. Don't forget that. The behavior you are describing is absolutely...

  14. Is it worth taking time off from school if I dont love it?

    Horseshoe replied to confusedabouteverything's topic in General Students

    FWIW, I haven't met many people who actually "loved" nursing school. There should be very little expectation that nursing school should be "fun." And real jobs, nursing or otherwise, are often "not...

    Horseshoe replied to Jstimmm's topic in General Students

  16. Blew a vein during clinical

    Horseshoe replied to KitKat2019's topic in General Students

    I don't necessarily agree with her post, but there is nothing about that post that reflects bullying. Come

  17. "You made a mistake."

    Horseshoe replied to CharleeFoxtrot's topic in General Nursing

    I actually thought I was the only basket case who has that

  18. Would you File a Complaint?

    Horseshoe replied to everchangingRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If you were not allowed in the trauma bay for a period of hours, how do you know that they didn't do neuro checks? It really does sound like you were giving them an awful lot of "advice." It *usually*...

  19. Would you File a Complaint?

    Horseshoe replied to everchangingRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    She "kept" kicking you out of the trauma bay? Hmm, I'm thinking that is revealing more than you realize about the behavior you and your family exhibited in an admittedly very stressful situation....

  20. Perplexing Text Questions

    Horseshoe replied to cin808's topic in General Students

    The answer to that question should be very

  21. Opposite Sex Coworker Social Boundaries

    Horseshoe replied to cyc0sys's topic in General Nursing

    I have had some great coworkers, but I can honestly say I've never needed "closure" after any of them quit. Glad to see that you canceled the BBQ out of respect for your wife's feelings. Hopefully,...

  22. Coworker violated HIPPA

    Horseshoe replied to AsanRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    As we are professionals whose posts are read by lay people as well as other nurses, we should use proper terminology and spelling of important words and acronyms. The thread title should reference...

  23. Coworker violated HIPPA

    Horseshoe replied to AsanRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Just because he doesn't know she violated his trust doesn't mean she didn't violate his trust. I'm sure he trusted her not to be "casually" speculating that he has syphilis at the nurse's

  24. Coworker violated HIPPA

    Horseshoe replied to AsanRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I agree with every word of

  25. What do you promote high-value care?

    Horseshoe replied to guest940422's topic in General Nursing

    Your thread title is not well worded and is pretty vague. You would probably get more responses if you emailed a moderator and asked him to change the thread title to something that is clear and more...
