  1. Service Dogs Allowed in ISO?

    Horseshoe replied to NPbyDay's topic in General Nursing

    Emotional support animals are legally protected in two ways: in travel, such as on airplanes, and in housing. Many people with these ESAs bank on the fact that stores, restaurant staff, and others...

  2. Private loans for poor credit

    Horseshoe replied to EvelynStevens's topic in General Nursing

    Lol. "Damn you, Autocorrect!" I agree with others that a community college nursing program would be your best

  3. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    Horseshoe replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    When I use the term "actual research" I am specifically referring to the actual peer reviewed scientific studies, not an individual's exploration of articles or other literature, someone's personal...

  4. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    Horseshoe replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    She would have to force multiple hospitals most likely. I doubt many nursing schools use only one facility for the multiple clinical rotations involved in getting a nursing

  5. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    Horseshoe replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    I find your statement above to be highly unlikely in view of the fact that ACTUAL research (not searching the web and reading blogs) has already been conducted on vaccines for MANY decades, by...

  6. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    Horseshoe replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    If you think a given facility can't easily come up with a legal reason to refuse to hire/fire an employee in lieu of outright stating that they are doing so because of an employee's religion, you are...

  7. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    Horseshoe replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    Your religious beliefs remain protected: no one will hold you down and stab a needle into your body. That doesn't mean that a hospital must hire you or that a clinical facility must allow a student to...

  8. Intimidated Nurse, Informed Patient, and WebMD

    Horseshoe replied to rnccf2007's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I just realized this thread is over SIX YEARS old! How do people even find threads like

  9. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    Horseshoe replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    Well, you certainly have your work cut out for you. In order to be allowed to sit for NCLEX, you must graduate from the nursing school. In order to graduate, you must fulfill the clinical portion of...

  10. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    Horseshoe replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    Call the nursing schools you are considering, tell them that you refuse to be vaccinated, and listen to what options they give you. You may not need to worry about repercussions on your future career...

  11. Intimidated Nurse, Informed Patient, and WebMD

    Horseshoe replied to rnccf2007's topic in General Nursing

    Well, that sounds really fair and reasonable, seeing that all caregivers are exactly alike. Oh, wait, maybe not... Consider also that your "research" may not have given you all the relevant...

  12. Intrusive application questions!

    Horseshoe replied to Scorchednurse's topic in Nursing Career

    The questions about your work history, dependability, etc. were not personal questions. The questions about your medical history, however, were pretty intrusive. I wouldn't be answering those kinds of...

  13. What is a Sugar Cleanse and Do I Need It?

    Horseshoe replied to Carol Ebert's topic in General Nursing

    It's not necessary to drink shakes or take supplements to "detox" (your word, not a great choice imo) from sugar. Replacing refined carbohydrates with healthy sources of protein, fat, and nonstarchy...

  14. What type of nurses work regular hours?

    Horseshoe replied to Emendoza01's topic in General Students

    I work outpatient elective plastic surgery. We are M-F 7am to whenever we are able to discharge our last patient. It could be 3pm or 5 or 6. No weekends, no nights, no holidays. I actually work PRN,...

  15. This person outranks me?!

    Horseshoe replied to Aunt Slappy's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I see. You are going to pack up your shovel and pail and stomp away from the sandbox in a huff. Since you've received almost universal disagreement with your premise, you'd think that might mandate...

  16. What is a Sugar Cleanse and Do I Need It?

    Horseshoe replied to Carol Ebert's topic in General Nursing

    I could not agree more. I think it's pretty inconsiderate to post an article with vague references to a proposed solution, then refuse after numerous queries to elaborate/clarify, then put the onus on...

  17. What is a Sugar Cleanse and Do I Need It?

    Horseshoe replied to Carol Ebert's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, after looking through some of the OP's former threads, I do not believe she is simply advocating giving up sugar. I believe she is referring to some kind of active process to "detoxify" the...

  18. I am a second semester ADN nursing student, and I cannot get comfortable around male pt's!

    Horseshoe replied to lindssmithh's topic in General Students

    How are you passing clinicals if you only talk to your male patients and refuse to do absolutely anything for

  19. Instructor Issue

    Horseshoe replied to lorias's topic in General Students

    Yes, I do have some advice: develop a thicker skin.

  20. Sloppy clinical instructor?

    Horseshoe replied to Potatoskins's topic in General Students

    I, as a patient, may withdraw that consent at any time, and don't have to count on the students picking up on the fact that I'm uncomfortable with their

  21. Mandatory flu shots????

    Horseshoe replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I can only laugh at this. Really, you should try science. It's fun, and beats the hell out of hyperbolic Chicken Little

  22. Workplace Drug Test

    Horseshoe replied to lexca's topic in General Nursing

    I'll pass on having a crew cut instead of my shoulder length hair just to avoid a drug test. Obviously

  23. Workplace Drug Test

    Horseshoe replied to lexca's topic in General Nursing

    I hate peeing on demand. I'd rather give a hair

  24. Workplace Drug Test

    Horseshoe replied to lexca's topic in General Nursing

    My D had to give up a hair sample when she was hired to work as an intern at an energy firm during the summer( while she was an undergrad). All of the companies hiring for undergrad internships, as...

  25. Coworker wanted to trade shifts

    Horseshoe replied to NurseDisneyPrincess's topic in General Nursing
