  1. Is this a fair holiday schedule

    Horseshoe replied to sweet sunshine's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work pretty much every single holiday so that I could have Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off. It worked for me. A couple of times I got sent home on Thanksgiving because our census was so...

  2. Friend is sending FB requests to all ICU/ER nurses

    Horseshoe replied to NurseSince2014's topic in General Nursing

    If she's already done it, what else is there to

  3. It's all good except for...

    Horseshoe replied to Estateboy's topic in General Nursing

    Don't get into listening to and worse, spreading negative gossip in order to make yourself feel better. Just keep your head down and do your job to the best of your ability. Don't stop asking...

  4. Reportable BRN incidents

    Horseshoe replied to Wrestler133's topic in General Nursing

    Even though you've said it twice, I think you really mean lax "conscience." And I think that the OP has shown that he already has that or he wouldn't have lied about the waste and asked another nurse...

  5. Dispute test question??

    Horseshoe replied to cin808's topic in General Students

    Just curious which answer you DID choose and am wondering how you would support your argument that this was the correct answer rather than the NC

  6. Hipaa violation

    Horseshoe replied to nurse2097482's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Accessing the MIL's chart is

  7. 'My Patient died' Facebook post

    Horseshoe replied to miladaniels's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    True. Even if set to "friends only," any one of those friends can take a screen shot and put it "out there". NEVER post anything online that you couldn't live with becoming completely

  8. Student Nurse Social Awkwardness

    Horseshoe replied to SNgirl21's topic in General Students

    True. Many famous actors have said they are painfully shy and even extremely socially awkward in real life. I believe Dan Aykroyd and Daryl Hannah have shared that they have Asberger's syndrome, which...

  9. A Fib in a young person...

    Horseshoe replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in General Nursing

    Since she is an acquaintance rather than a close friend, I would say it's quite possible that she has medical history you just aren't aware

  10. Is it wrong to start infusion that will not finish till next shift?

    Horseshoe replied to Capp's topic in Patient Medications

    I can think of a lot of things that are

  11. Lazy RN looking for a gig

    Horseshoe replied to Alex_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm, interesting. I got a Bachelor's in Education before I went to nursing

  12. Is this discrimination?

    Horseshoe replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, that's believable. How did you come to the conclusion that I was speaking for everyone? Apparently you haven't been reading the responses here. It's "Interpreting, " not

  13. Rant. Questions are killing me!

    Horseshoe replied to broughden's topic in General Students

    If you are a student, how is it that you can speak with such utter certainty about what actually happens in "real life practices" of medical facilities with regard to how nurses are disciplined or...

  14. Swastikas & Nursing | Refusing care based upon moral objection?

    Horseshoe replied to guest042302019's topic in General Nursing

    In a case of reverse discrimination to what is being described here: one time a nurse on AN swore that she will NEVER allow anyone who has ever had an abortion to take care of her. She honestly didn't...

  15. Is this discrimination?

    Horseshoe replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    I would like to add that if a nurse's advanced education gives her an expanded scope over a RN, then it's to be expected that the nurse should be paid more than others nurses whose scope is more...

  16. Is this discrimination?

    Horseshoe replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work, my 22 years of experience (but only 6 years in OR) is trumped by nurses with 29, 30, 32, and 28 years OR experience. It's a small private OR. I don't think my BSN gives me any good...

  17. Is this discrimination?

    Horseshoe replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    There is no need for you to be so nasty. It is the absolute norm here to pay RNs based on experience, not education in my area. I work PRN for a physician group. I'm not so incredible that anyone is...

  18. I want to be a nurse but im not good at math

    Horseshoe replied to wizardwendy's topic in General Nursing

    It's still just basic algebra for the most part. VERY

  19. I want to be a nurse but im not good at math

    Horseshoe replied to wizardwendy's topic in General Nursing

    The math required for nursing is very basic. I doubt it will hold you back from a nursing

    Horseshoe replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

  22. Swastikas & Nursing | Refusing care based upon moral objection?

    Horseshoe replied to guest042302019's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I mean that question in reference to the care you give, not what your personal opinion of this patient would be. Would you to refuse to provide nursing care to a satan

    Horseshoe replied to guest042302019's topic in General Nursing

  25. What do you think will happen if we actually achieve truly safe staffing ratios?

    Horseshoe replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Nursing

    "What do you think will happen if we actually achieve truly safe staffing ratios?" Hell will probably then freeze over. NOTE: I did see above that it says "truly safe staffing ratios," not "truly...
