  1. As a RN, which would you choose?

    Horseshoe replied to GenieToBe's topic in General Nursing

    If it gets me over a temporary hump, yes, please go for it. If I'm terminal and clearly end stage hopeless, no, let's not artificially delay the

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

    Horseshoe replied to guest042302019's topic in General Nursing

    I forgot to answer the question in the OP: With the exception of participating in an actual non emergent, elective abortion, I would say no, not without losing your job, and potentially, your...

  3. Education Conspiracy

    Horseshoe replied to Avid reader's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well, we've sure all seen them, just as we've seen crappy nurses who also barely passed their academic classes, crappy nurses with advanced degrees, and crappy nurses with less education. I've seen...

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

    Horseshoe replied to guest042302019's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't a case of a potentially mistaken bad first impression. Those tattoos are permanent-he made a decision to imprint his philosophy onto his skin, his body-he is telling you who is really is....

  5. First day of Nursing School

    Horseshoe replied to LavenderRN's topic in General Students

    This is still a skill you need to master. The technology is convenient, but it does break down, and there are the times when what you are seeing on the machine vs. the patient does not match, and you...

  6. Failed Nursing School, need advice

    Horseshoe replied to Decisions7's topic in General Students

    If you can get back into a nursing program, that's all it may require in order to get a job as a patient care tech. Or take a class to become certified as a CNA. BTW, making comprehensive assessments...

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

    Horseshoe replied to guest042302019's topic in General Nursing

    Hitler was incredibly sweet to many of his secretaries and other ancillary staff. Didn't mean he wasn't an evil

  8. Is this discrimination?

    Horseshoe replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    Agree, but she actually gave the example "blacks like folk music"; not all black people are African

  9. 2 full-time jobs?

    Horseshoe replied to anna225's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing crazier than going into $200K of debt for a nursing degree is LOANING someone in this situation that kind of money. It should be illegal to take advantage of young and naive young...

  10. Is this discrimination?

    Horseshoe replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    Well, "black" is a race, not a culture. There are many different cultures that are composed of "black people." So no, you couldn't say "blacks love folk music," because that is such a broad comment...

  11. Is this discrimination?

    Horseshoe replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    I've never gotten paid a penny more than an ADN for having a BSN.

  12. Is this discrimination?

    Horseshoe replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    Hispanic/Latino is not a race, it's an ethnicity. One can be white and Hispanic, one can be black and Hispanic, etc. I am Hispanic and I'm white. A Hispanic person with very light skin, red hair, and...

  13. What business can a LPN Start?

    Horseshoe replied to rebeccalamar's topic in General Nursing

    Ummm...wouldn't Googling that be the BEST way to find that

  15. Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It really does sound like they need to come with a warning

  16. Student Charge Nurse out of line

    Horseshoe replied to cin808's topic in General Students

    Not necessarily. The actual role of charge entails being a clinical resource. Student charge could well be a case of the blind leading the blind. New nurses shouldn't be charge either. Per many...

  17. Delegation During Clinical

    Horseshoe replied to sillymu's topic in General Students

    You, as students, are "delegating" tasks to licensed nurses????? Being able to communicate well is certainly important, but delegating (as you have described it) just seems to be robbing you of...

  18. Student Charge Nurse out of line

    Horseshoe replied to cin808's topic in General Students

    This just sounds asinine. "Student charge"??? Is this some way to cover for the fact that they are assigning too many students to their clinical instructors? What responsibilities were you given by...

  19. Questions on how to transfer Nursing License

    Horseshoe replied to ajin's topic in General Nursing

    Why would the Florida BON web site not be the FIRST PLACE you

  20. Getting pregnant during last semester or during new job?

    Horseshoe replied to Steph82997's topic in General Students

    I happen to know which post you are referring to, but it's far better to use the quote function so that everyone reading this (and the person to whom you are talking) will see the inappropriate...

    Horseshoe replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. That's a pretty ambitious plan. Hope it happens for

  22. What You Need To Know About Older Nurses: Myths and Realities

    Horseshoe replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    I would just like to thank you for writing an article that actually reads like a professional paper rather than what we often see here. Many of the "articles" posted here sound like the opening...

  23. Do you renew both LPN and RN licenses?

    Horseshoe replied to LPN1118's topic in General Nursing

    As someone else already pointed out, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter if you are hired for an LPN job. In the event of any controversy whatsoever, you will be held to the standard of your...

  24. Would a transplant recipient be on the same strict neutropenic precautions as an AIDS pt?

    Horseshoe replied to Nsco2018's topic in General Nursing

    You are a student. Is this for

  25. Racial Discrimination in the Nursing Profession

    Horseshoe replied to MasterStreet's topic in General Nursing

    I worked at a very racially diverse hospital. But when I actually thought hard about it after reading this thread, I realized that I can't think of even one unit manager who wasn't white. So although...
