  1. What is nursing school like?

    Horseshoe replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, it's for those who are intelligent, conscientious, determined, hardworking, and dedicated. Luck doesn't have much to do with it. Yes. Okay, why don't you tell us what percentage of the time it...

  2. Multiple vaccination uploads (I just need to vent)

    Horseshoe replied to Pdxstudent's topic in General Students

    That would be incredibly frustrating. Hope you get it worked

  3. Nursing scrubs worn by visitors in the unit

    Horseshoe replied to Skippingtowork's topic in General Nursing

    Nah, the judge would react to that just like most of us here react to your nonsense. With a yawn, and

  4. Precepting a senior practicum student

    Horseshoe replied to heymicks's topic in General Nursing

    The best person to ask these questions is the clinical instructor or department head. But I commend you for being concerned and conscientious about your role. Good luck, and let us know how it

  5. Toxic Workplace?

    Horseshoe replied to ESpeed15's topic in General Nursing

    Unless your coworkers are super forgiving, you've now got a huge target on your back. When you screw up (and don't doubt for a minute that you will), you are going to get the same treatment in...

  6. "NETY" and Other Fallacies

    Horseshoe replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I can treat you "respectfully," but I will not have respect for your knowledge, your practice, your critical thinking skills, etc. until you demonstrate that you deserve it. I EXPECT that you will...

  7. One thing i dont understand(at the nurses' station)

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

    No one should be working at a hospital in Germany or France if they are not fluent in the language. "Basic terminology" is just not good

  8. Am I wrong for thinking that this APRN was wrong?...

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

    "Am I wrong for thinking this APRN was wrong?" Followed by "I'm a new nurse. LPN. Just graduated in May. Got my license June 30th." I didn't have a lot of confidence that I was going to read that a...

  9. My two cents.

    Horseshoe replied to Nursey Me's topic in General Nursing

    It's a shame on you thread. Like countless others who also attempt to change posting behavior with a nice finger wag, it won't work. People are going to post the way they want to post unless they...

  10. Dating while in nursing school?

    Horseshoe replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    No, she's not any of those things. She just had the colossal nerve to not want to date you. Clearly, in your world, THAT'S NOT ALLOWED. Get this, dude: she doesn't need a *reason* to not want to...

  11. Dating while in nursing school?

    Horseshoe replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    If you are morbidly obese, you may indeed have trouble attracting a mate. But I will tell you this: every single day, an overweight male is being told "yes." Yes to a date, yes to marriage, yes,...

  12. Who makes more an anesthesiologist or CRNA?

    Horseshoe replied to niwas209's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    A friend of mine is a CRNA. She was complaining about her ex husband (anesthesiologist) not contributing more to their son's college education costs, stating that he makes $750K annually to her...

  13. I feel like going to class is a waste of time

    Horseshoe replied to LibaSkelova's topic in General Students

    Have you tried reading and studying the material ahead of time so that when the prof lectures about it in class, you understand it

  14. Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    Horseshoe replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    The association of Guillain-Barre syndrome is higher with actual influenza infection than it is with flu

  15. Which AN Poster Has the Job that You Think Is Most Interesting?

    Horseshoe replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Can't remember her name, but the one who's always saying she makes six figures and works from home in her pajamas.

  16. My two cents.

    Horseshoe replied to Nursey Me's topic in General Nursing

    There is a yellow "report" button at the bottom of each post. If you find one has violated the TOS here, you can report the post. A mod will evaluate your complaint. I've reported posts that were...

  17. i need help

    Horseshoe replied to nessdee's topic in General Nursing

    Surely the Illinois BON web site provides an email for questions. I know that when I have had a question for my BON, they have responded in a very timely and helpful manner via

  18. Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    Horseshoe replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    So, actually no one is going to "force" a vaccine on anyone. You have been given the option to retain your employment AND refuse the

  19. Best way to avoid bedside care?

    Horseshoe replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe MHays mean unit manager rather than charge

  20. Looking for some advice before making a mistake.

    Horseshoe replied to italianlifter's topic in General Nursing

    It all depends on the geographical region. In some areas, BSN is pretty much required. In others, it absolutely is

  21. Best way to avoid bedside care?

    Horseshoe replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    I was charge nurse on my shifts in the ICU at a large metropolitan hospital. Somehow my bosses never got the memo that charge nurses didn't have to do bedside care. I took the same load as the staff...

  22. My two cents.

    Horseshoe replied to Nursey Me's topic in General Nursing

    Lol, ok. HUGE difference. :) But it's not going to happen. As I said in my first post. These kinds of threads don't change anyone's behavior. And since the mods don't remove these posts, they...

  23. My two cents.

    Horseshoe replied to Nursey Me's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. In your first post you made the following request (demand): That's not going to happen. And as long as it doesn't violate the TOS, a "negative" post will not be deleted by the mods who...

  24. My two cents.

    Horseshoe replied to Nursey Me's topic in General Nursing

    If you are a longtime lurker, you should know that these "shame on you" threads never get the intended result.

  25. Looking for some advice before making a mistake.

    Horseshoe replied to italianlifter's topic in General Nursing

    The typical physical therapy degree is not a Ph.D, it's a
