  1. Is this considered bullying?

    Horseshoe replied to Ilovenursing3's topic in General Nursing

    This is so important for the OP and any other new nurse to

  2. falling asleep during nightshift

    Horseshoe replied to nightlightnurseaide's topic in General Nursing

    BINGO. Not to mention that these are the OP's very first words in this post: She then spends pages arguing that it's perfectly acceptable, responsible,

  3. falling asleep during nightshift

    Horseshoe replied to nightlightnurseaide's topic in General Nursing

    If a coworker is that sleepy, they are a dangerous coworker. I don't see the problem with someone napping on their designated break as long as they don't oversleep. If the sleep is restorative, then...

  4. falling asleep during nightshift

    Horseshoe replied to nightlightnurseaide's topic in General Nursing

    Telling the OP she shouldn't be sleeping on the clock is not "toxic."

  5. falling asleep during nightshift

    Horseshoe replied to nightlightnurseaide's topic in General Nursing

    No one is asking for perfect. They are asking for you to be awake while you are on the clock. Big difference. No you're not. These kinds of threads do pop up from time to time. Nothing new here at...

  6. What is considered evidence

    Horseshoe replied to RNproudtobe's topic in General Nursing

    Law enforcement can (and does) prosecute people even when a victim doesn't want to press charges. Note that in court, the charges are always "The People (not victim Jane Doe) vs. Defendant." Granted,...

  7. What is considered evidence

    Horseshoe replied to RNproudtobe's topic in General Nursing

    LE does not need a victim's permission to press

  8. I am doomed.

    Horseshoe replied to Guest219794's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really glad I hadn't just taken a big gulp out of my water bottle when I read

  9. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    Horseshoe replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    No, it most certainly would NOT be a HIPAA violation. I suggest you bone up on your understanding of HIPAA

  10. RN's and LPN's working as Nursing Assistants?

    Horseshoe replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but that is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. A RN needs no such "certification" to spend the day giving bed baths, getting patients up to the bathroom, taking and recording vital...

  11. RN's and LPN's working as Nursing Assistants?

    Horseshoe replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

    What would be the odds that you would face CRIMINAL charges for actions relating to a CNA assignment? That sounds incredibly far fetched. I can understand your other comments related to why RNs should...

  12. is Nursing School HARDER than Medical School?

    Horseshoe replied to sunny d's topic in General Students

    I think what makes nursing so "hard" is that many of the students are older, supporting families, etc., so they don't have the time to devote to it that a young single college student living in the...

  13. Los Gatos ER Physician in the News

    Horseshoe replied to CityofAngelsRN's topic in Nursing News

    You can't talk about the doctor without putting her actions and words in context. So,

  14. We are not saints! (just because we work hard)

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Mother of 2 daughters and owner of female dog and cat lays a wreath at your feet.

  15. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    Horseshoe replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    Re: sanitation and hygiene actually responsible for plummeting rates of disease, let's look at a couple of them. When the first measles vaccine was introduced in 1963, rates of infection had been...

  16. RN's and LPN's working as Nursing Assistants?

    Horseshoe replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

    That fact has been pointed out to the OP, but apparently is not enough to calm her worries that working an occasional shift taking over the duties normally assigned to a CNA puts her license at

  17. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    Horseshoe replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    What a pack of lies. Do tell, why do we still get epidemics of infectious diseases among unvaccinated persons in the USA? Those people just happen to be dirty and malnourished? Don't think so. The...

  18. We are not saints! (just because we work hard)

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Speak for yourself! You may now kiss my

  19. RN's and LPN's working as Nursing Assistants?

    Horseshoe replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, so this is not the same thing you have been complaining about. Asserting that because RNs have a scope way beyond that of a CNA, so much so that it is not cost effective for the RN to spend too...

  20. RN's and LPN's working as Nursing Assistants?

    Horseshoe replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds to me like just a personal deficiency rather than as a result of your education. Practice makes perfect, and the joke to me is saying that the BSN has less practice at ADLS (presumably because...

    Sure she did! She always knocks it out of the

  23. Venting

    Horseshoe replied to pink_princess11's topic in General Nursing

    It's actually Nursing Challenges relating to HIPAA. If you notified one of the mods, I bet they'd move it for

  24. Venting

    Horseshoe replied to pink_princess11's topic in General Nursing

    I get that this is a vent, but if you misread an order, you should in fact "be blamed." Hopefully in a way that helps you figure out where you went wrong and how to prevent it in the future, but yeah,...

  25. Failed first pathophysiology exam

    Horseshoe replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    Additionally, you need to read up on brain aneurysms. What is a brain aneurysm? What happens if it ruptures? Why are you discussing it in the context of
