  1. Only charting?

    Horseshoe replied to Niquolea26's topic in General Students

    Thanks! What I love about AN is that I usually learn at least ONE new thing every time I

  2. Underage drinking question? please help

    Horseshoe replied to xjay22's topic in General Students

    This thread was started a year ago, and the OP hasn't been back to AN since last

  3. Only charting?

    Horseshoe replied to Niquolea26's topic in General Students

    I don't think that is correct. I think you may be confusing that with the requirements for CRNA

  4. Influenza Epidemic Declared in Western WA

    Horseshoe replied to nursej22's topic in General Nursing

    Should we take bets to guess how long it takes for someone who claims to be a nurse (or retired nurse) to show up here and tell us the flu shot gave her the flu? I kept meaning to get the shot, but it...

  5. Only charting?

    Horseshoe replied to Niquolea26's topic in General Students

    Very good points. I only mentioned ICU because that's my background, so I speak to what I know. ICU nurses work as colleagues with the docs. The arrogant one and the OP might be surprised at how...

  6. Only charting?

    Horseshoe replied to Niquolea26's topic in General Students

    I took an accounting course once. Does that qualify me to talk about what it's like to be a CPA? Until you are a nurse, you don't know what it's like to walk in the shoes of a nurse. Again I say,...

  7. What to do with a bf who just wants me for my degree

    Horseshoe replied to mstaurus2016's topic in General Students

    Ruby Vee, I totally agree. I might even add serious drug abuse/alcoholism where the partner refuses to get help or admit a problem. Or someone who commits serious crimes against humanity... I could...

  8. What to do with a bf who just wants me for my degree

    Horseshoe replied to mstaurus2016's topic in General Students

    I listened to a radio show recently while driving where they were discussing a TV show where a couple had a blind date. The woman said she wasn't interested in a second date (I think he was a smoker,...

  9. What to do with a bf who just wants me for my degree

    Horseshoe replied to mstaurus2016's topic in General Students

    I agree with all of the above except the advice to block his number. They have a child together, so she will need to remain accessible in order to facilitate the co-parenting of their

  10. Michigan LPN Scope of Practice

    Horseshoe replied to rianbell1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Bold is mine. Not only that, but our BON has written an extensive document ("BON Position Statements) explaining how they interpret the NPA and how it is applicable to various situations with regard...

  11. Only charting?

    Horseshoe replied to Niquolea26's topic in General Students

    No, you've revealed yourself to be a troll because you so clearly don't know what you're talking about. Your ignorance is shining through like a beacon, but with the inflammatory language and juvenile...

  12. What to do with a bf who just wants me for my degree

    Horseshoe replied to mstaurus2016's topic in General Students

    You'll make a decent salary as a RN, but certainly not enough to support a lazy deadbeat and his child from another relationship. Every dollar you throw his way is one you are taking out of your own...

  13. Only charting?

    Horseshoe replied to Niquolea26's topic in General Students

    Please print your post, and about six months into your first job, when you are drowning and are wondering when you are ever going to possess the knowledge and skill of your experienced coworkers, read...

  14. Only charting?

    Horseshoe replied to Niquolea26's topic in General Students

    My husband is a leader in his field and makes big money. Yeah, he's a big shot, putting together big deals, playing the ulcer-inducing game of negotiation, and hobnobbing with other big shots. And...

  15. Did I get in based on a quota?

    Horseshoe replied to LibaSkelova's topic in General Students

    They may well want to improve their diversity, but that doesn't mean they are willing to accept unqualified individuals, no matter what your ethnicity or gender is. If they didn't think you could cut...

  16. Stank Face during Clinical: How to prevent?

    Horseshoe replied to hepnande's topic in General Students

    Try to put yourself in your patient's place. What kind of face do you want to see looking at you in your most embarrassing, vulnerable

  17. Wearing mask during flu season

    Horseshoe replied to Nurse Vinnie's topic in General Nursing

    Apparently there is a flu vaccine that uses no egg based products in its development. Don't know how hard it is to get a hold of, though. How Influenza (Flu) Vaccines Are Made | Seasonal Influenza...

  18. Nurses Eating Nursing Students

    Horseshoe replied to Cisabel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    All too true, and important to remember that as all students are people, it's statistically indisputable that a good number of them aren't nice

  19. How to annoy irritating Drs.

    Horseshoe replied to Avid reader's topic in Nursing Humor

    OP, a lot of people weren't amused by your humor. According to you, that means that they have no sense of humor or they need "to lighten up." There's also another possibility that you conveniently...

  20. Nurses Eating Nursing Students

    Horseshoe replied to Cisabel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think some of the newer nurses are astounded (or don't really believe) that most of us who came down the pike more than a few years ago had clinical instructors that took full responsibility for...

  21. It seems like everyone but nurses make more money

    Horseshoe replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

    This is very true. My husband makes a lot of money, but he has some very definite characteristics that explain it. For one thing, he is extremely ambitious. He is in a career that is 100%...

  22. It seems like everyone but nurses make more money

    Horseshoe replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

    Just because nurses are in high demand in your particular market does not mean there is a nursing shortage in general or that nurses are in high demand

  23. Wearing mask during flu season

    Horseshoe replied to Nurse Vinnie's topic in General Nursing

    You have just joined AN and this is your first post. How would "many of us" know this about you? I work OR and wear a mask the majority of the time I'm working. The masks are designed to let adequate...

  24. Nurses Eating Nursing Students

    Horseshoe replied to Cisabel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Come back to us once you have been assigned not one, but TWO nursing students in one shift! And keep in mind a)you weren't asked but TOLD, b)you have no official affiliation whatsoever with that...

  25. Financial stability while in an accelerated nursing program

    Horseshoe replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in General Students

    I was a teacher before going into nursing. I hated teaching, but like nursing. They are entirely
