  1. Is a lawyer worth the money

    Horseshoe replied to bjlr90's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It might be a good idea to email an administrator and ask him or her to correct the typo in your thread title so that the meaning is more clear. Also, we have a forum here called the "Nurses/Recovery"...

  2. Nurses and bullies...

    Horseshoe replied to nightingale4me's topic in General Nursing

    When we define bullying as "she didn't say hi back to me," we are diluting the impact of the word down to meaningless chatter.

  3. Where can I get male only patients?

    Horseshoe replied to Firas5's topic in General Nursing

    The whole idea of "I can't (won't) take care of _______ patients because of my religious beliefs" just seems so incongruous with the idea that health care workers are not supposed to be judgmental or...

  4. "Allow LPNs to challenge the Board of Nursing to obtain RN licensure" viral post

    Horseshoe replied to TheRuralNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Lol, thanks for the laugh this morning. I needed

  5. Nurses and bullies...

    Horseshoe replied to nightingale4me's topic in General Nursing

    It's too bad there aren't more managers like you. My favorite manager was just like this. She didn't tolerate anyone who wasn't a team player. Toxic employees didn't last long in our

  6. Forged ACLS and possible suspension of license?

    Horseshoe replied to Tweetee102's topic in General Nursing

    You are a nurse but refer to your license as a "medical"

  7. Nurses and bullies...

    Horseshoe replied to nightingale4me's topic in General Nursing

    What a terrible thread title. You could easily have posted a thread about bullying in nursing without painting the entire profession as a

  8. Are LPNs the Answer to the RN Shortage in Some Locations?

    Horseshoe replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I have read all the Texas BON position statements on LVN scope. I disagree that the LVN has a "wide" scope. Just a matter of opinion on how to define the word

  9. Are LPNs the Answer to the RN Shortage in Some Locations?

    Horseshoe replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    That's not true with regard to IV push drugs. LPNs are limited as to which drugs they may give, and they may only push into peripheral lines. Not an issue in certain environments, critical restriction...

  10. Those Overly Exaggerating Nursing Stories

    Horseshoe replied to Cvepo's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! Well

  11. Why are nurses disrespected so much?

    Horseshoe replied to fitfabfunnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    Speak for yourself. I've never been treated like "a slave' at any of my jobs. The times I've ever been treated with disrespect have been very few. But "slave"?

  12. Those Overly Exaggerating Nursing Stories

    Horseshoe replied to Cvepo's topic in General Nursing

    Those don't bother me as much as many of the "articles" published here on AN. These are supposedly scholarly articles, but often they are poorly written, don't impart much practical information,...

  13. Okinawa Nurses

    Horseshoe replied to PookieBaby_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Would they hire you as a

  14. Why are nurses disrespected so much?

    Horseshoe replied to fitfabfunnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    In my entire career (22 years), I've probably worked with only one "mean girl." And disrespect is not something I have been the target of many times, either. Occasionally, sure, but I shut that down...

  15. Didn't get hired! Should I take a refresher course?

    Horseshoe replied to Kgrela89's topic in General Nursing

    No one is trying to "punish" you. Hiring managers are simply trying to find the best nurses for their units. If a manager is choosing between a nurse with years of relevant experience and good...

  16. Why do we do codes?

    Horseshoe replied to scrubs0204's topic in General Nursing

    If the living will is properly notarized and witnessed according to a given state's requirements, it is indeed a "valid legal

  17. Didn't get hired! Should I take a refresher course?

    Horseshoe replied to Kgrela89's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, but you were never "in" nursing to begin with and now have an over 3 year gap between your education and now, with NO practical experience. If you are serious about working, I'd try to find a...

  18. Why do we do codes?

    Horseshoe replied to scrubs0204's topic in General Nursing

    THIS. This is the reason we do codes. There are plenty of times where it is not appropriate, and we need to get better about making those distinctions and educating families when their loved ones fall...

  19. CRNA GPA

    Horseshoe replied to Jseneh0's topic in General Nursing

    There is a forum for CRNA students. They would probably be able to answer your question there. Here is the link:

  20. C Section Post-Op Rx

    Horseshoe replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    You want to write a hospital about an incident that occurred 30 years ago?! Don't you think it's highly likely that protocols have changed multiple times in that unit over a period of 3 decades? I...

  21. Administering infant retrovirals without dads knowledge

    Horseshoe replied to Lesley34's topic in United Kingdom

    Does Dad have a right to know he is at risk himself after having had unprotected intercourse with Mom? What are UK laws with respect to informing sexual partners of HIV

  22. Mandatory flu shots????

    Horseshoe replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Lol..yeah, it's time for you to hang up your stethoscope. It's one thing to complain that the flu shot isn't as effective as it should be, but your statement above crosses over into crazy town.

  23. Do i really have to tell new employer about a BON intervention?

    Horseshoe replied to Nursedina2011's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Your husband should be charged with

  24. Drug testing

    Horseshoe replied to blexxer's topic in General Nursing

    I hurt my back on the job. Before I could go home, I had to go to employee health and be tested. Even places that don't do drug screens upon hire will do them in certain situations. If there is a...

  25. Calling off :-(

    Horseshoe replied to gaby19's topic in General Nursing

    Just when you think you've heard every way possible nurses are abused by their
