  2. Nurses getting fired left and right...

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yes, I gotta say there is a Catch 22 in some places. The job I actually got in relation to my post was unionized. Many of the people I worked with shouldve been fired but were protected, because the...

  3. MA working beyond scope of practice

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Catedi's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You would think doctors wouldn't want to risk their licenses like this, but I guess they do:eek:. This may sound harsh, but you get what you pay for (as the saying goes) and these doctors don't want...

  4. Is this professional?

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe she's covering a bald spot or hair extensions and she doesn't like headbands. She's from CA and you're from a more rural area. Maybe its the norm where she is from and it's just a part of what...

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to keikei's topic in Emergency

    The staff will probably close this soon (it appears a staff member is reading this according to the list below, I could be wrong), but you have to expect an array of opinions from this site. Everyone...

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to keikei's topic in Emergency

    :up:OMG! You totally hit the nail on the head. I think this makes 100% sense. She is probably fixing every inch of her story now so she can sue the ER. I sure hope the defense finds this post and...

  17. Have you ever been insulted for what you do?

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, when I was a LPN I got this all the time as well. I even heard a tech tell a patient, "Oh she doesn't know she's just a LPN." How the h*ll you know what I don't know, let the patient ask me...

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to AspiringRNofLove's topic in General Nursing

    Make sure you look at all the requirements for the schools you are applying. I know here many colleges had different pre-reqs (some more, some less). If the schools are within the pre-reqs youve been...
