  1. How do you discuss gender issues with adolescents?

    Horseshoe replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

    It can't be stressed enough that gender identity, sexual orientation, and sexuality are not the same

  2. Wisdom Teeth Removal

    Horseshoe replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know everyone recovers differently, but I've always felt perfectly fine the next day. I've never felt like crap for 2 days with conscious

  3. Postpartum care plan in APA format?

    Horseshoe replied to Jamspro's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Since the OP never came back to show what he has already come up with, I'm guessing he was never interested in learning and simply wanted the nice folks at AN to do his work for

  4. Accepting verbal orders from another nurse?

    Horseshoe replied to amberrenae, RN's topic in General Nursing

    And it will only take ONE doctor to refuse to put in the order (that he did not give) to get her in extremely hot water. I don't care how smart a nurse is, unless she is following ACLS protocol or...

  5. TB exposure?? HELP

    Horseshoe replied to jeane1090's topic in General Nursing

    I personally wouldn't spend one minute of my time worrying about a brief moment spent in a TB patient's room without PPE. I certainly wouldn't be agonizing over it. Talk to your doctor or course and...

  6. Liar, liar pants on fire!

    Horseshoe replied to Wuzzie's topic in General Nursing

    How about the Admissions Director at one of the most prestigious universities in the world, who was discovered to not have even obtained a BACHELOR's degree in spite of the credentials listed on her...

  7. CPR LAWS

    Horseshoe replied to shargrove1201's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I've re-read the OP and the follow up post. Personally, I don't think the posts were well written and clear. It sounds as though the patient has coded several times and been resuscitated. The...

  8. CPR LAWS

    Horseshoe replied to shargrove1201's topic in General Nursing

    The patient's family does not/cannot "sign a DNR" during the middle of a code. If a code is initiated, the resuscitation has already been attempted. A family cannot decide how long the code goes on or...

  9. CPR LAWS

    Horseshoe replied to shargrove1201's topic in General Nursing

    Not the same as the issue in the OP, which is when to terminate futile CPR, not when to take a patient with a beating heart off of mechanical ventilation. Jahi was revived in that a pulse and...

  10. Charge nurse calls doc at night

    Horseshoe replied to Nurse-please's topic in General Nursing

    Oh HELL no.

  11. Liar, liar pants on fire!

    Horseshoe replied to Wuzzie's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. She intentionally misled the public. Nurses are held in high esteem and the average person would likely be more impressed by seeing "RN" than phlebotomist. Let's be real. She knew exactly...

  12. Liar, liar pants on fire!

    Horseshoe replied to Wuzzie's topic in General Nursing

    Lol, sorry peeps. I thought my sarcasm was clear, but with several members not seeing it, I must have done a bad job of it. To be clear, I've always been proud of the work all nurses (from LPNs to...

  13. Liar, liar pants on fire!

    Horseshoe replied to Wuzzie's topic in General Nursing

    It wasn't a quote. It's what I predict will show up in the comments sections of the various news

  14. Postpartum care plan in APA format?

    Horseshoe replied to Jamspro's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You want your care plan to be written using proper spelling and grammar. So it should reference a 24 year old patient who *has* given

  15. Past history about care on a Saturday

    Horseshoe replied to Kathleen Robledo's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh, is it still spring

  16. Past history about care on a Saturday

    Horseshoe replied to Kathleen Robledo's topic in General Nursing

    So what if SDA-ers ask off for Saturdays? That is NOT THE SAME THING as showing up for work but refusing to do patient care. That's ridiculous,and not happening in 2018. I'm sure those hospitals...

  17. Unperscrided Happy pills to 19 year old???

    Horseshoe replied to Jsandberg41's topic in General Nursing

    If an LVN is giving prescription medicines to ANYONE, she is practicing medicine without a license. How did she "put you on cymbalta and two other anti-depressant meds" without having prescribing...

  18. My DON accused me of patient abandonment during a snowstorm

    Horseshoe replied to NurseScorpio88's topic in General Nursing

    You should do it now, before it ever goes to the BON. That's the whole

  20. Students (and others) using staff parking

    Horseshoe replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

    We used to own a home near a huge college campus. On game days, people would park on our street, sometimes even blocking driveways. The neighborhood got fed up, got unified, and used the system to...

  21. Dangers of teaching kids they can be boys or girls

    Horseshoe replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    In a discussion amongst science professionals, there should be a more specific source than some vague reference to "countries." People who make statements of "fact" on a nursing forum should always...

  22. Dangers of teaching kids they can be boys or girls

    Horseshoe replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    According to this, he has top notch education and credentials.However, nowhere in this bio do I see that he specializes in transgender issues or has does extensive research in the field. Jordan...

  23. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    Horseshoe replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    You want to be treated as an intelligent human being, but have no trouble displaying the behavior you just criticized. Pot meet

  24. Average IQ of a BSN nurse

    Horseshoe replied to Weber's topic in General Students

    I earned my BSN in 1996; the requirements to get into the nursing program were a 3.0 GPA, but because of the number of aspiring nursing students at my university, it actually required a 3.8. Other...

  25. How to deal with this conflict?
