    For what can you lose your license?

    Rob72 replied to psu_213's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That is the reason you receive a copy of your State's Nurse Practice Act(s), shortly after you pass

    Rob72 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    She has some good points, however, my personal feel was that this was exploring a way to create a female-dominated field that could assume the "Mantle of Medicine". My argument against this is the...

    Rob72 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    True. I think (and Spikey may correct me, if necessary) that the social status of nursing and nurses is not necessarily in question, but how nurses are treated. This gets into some primary differences...

    Rob72 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    I will respectfully disagree. There are not many MA/PhD practioners in any field, that does not function primarily in theory, who command respect. Fundamentally, look at the conflict between...

    Afraid to apply places after bad job experience

    Rob72 replied to TinaNewRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, being able to dig that 6 foot long hole deeper than 2 feet in the lawn, without being observed, takes specialized technique and personal development... Seriously, bad bosses are everywhere- but...

    Possible termination for HIPAA violations

    Rob72 replied to Magnolia619's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Which one, the original, "Health Insurance Privacy and Portability Act", or the(we decided it was more PC), "Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act"? Feces is feces, by any other name....

    Possible termination for HIPAA violations

    Rob72 replied to Magnolia619's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    respectfully, no, not true. the impetus for hippa was the homosexual lobby, and their (legitimate) privacy concerns, but that was not at all the direction of hippa. prior to 1996, most facilities had...

    How can you be nonjudgemental?

    Rob72 replied to Kristy02_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm going to be very blunt and non-PC: As long as you don't express anything, its irrelevant. I have consoled myself, on several occassions, with the sure knowledge that exceedingly bitter,...

    Bad Experience with Nurses at hospital, rethinking my major now.

    Rob72 replied to Lindsey-Student's topic in General Nursing

    There are unprofessional professionals in every profession. Don't let it bother you. Its not about what they are, but what you will be. Fair warning, I'm not big on "theraputic/reflective...

    Balanced advice please!

    Rob72 replied to WhistlingNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Short answer: see if you can find out any other Nursing professors who really do not like her. If he/she/they are sufficiently politically grounded, a well written complaint may help them alleviate...

    Possible termination for HIPAA violations

    Rob72 replied to Magnolia619's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Ooookaaayyy. If you haven't had some resolution yet, here's a few suggestions: 1) Someplace, somewhere, I'm sure the Employee handbook states something to the effect of, "...you are responsible to...

    Critical thinking in OB ... HELP!!

    Rob72 replied to Student2001's topic in General Students

    Monitoring VS, managing meds, fetal HR and contractions. Understand how treating mom effects the baby and vice-versa. That interplay is the biggest part of OB. My experience, as a neo-sexist-pig:D,...

    Difficult patients?

    Rob72 replied to nursingpower's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "If you want your emotional needs fulfilled, call your kids or hire a hooker...":D That's a very blunt way of saying exactly what I've said to a few patients, with somewhat more floral prose. Couple...

    Simulating arm veins for practice IV's

    Rob72 replied to linda2097's topic in General Nursing

    Not so much. We had 1 TB sub-Q, 1 IM (NS) injection and 1 IV start, all of which we had to sign releases to do/receive. OJT is absolute crap. The pool-noodle idea is great & cost

    Too old for ICU?

    Rob72 replied to eyeball's topic in Critical Care

    Geez, I'd be more concerned with being "too old" to be a floor 'ho, oops "nurse", on the typical med-surge floor. No offense, anyone, you know you're overworked & underpaid. I'm not far behind...

    Balanced advice please!

    Rob72 replied to WhistlingNurse's topic in General Nursing

    What is at issue? Are they "facts", or are they subjective circumstances being interpreted through different perceptual backgrounds? A, "fact", I can use to nail your hide to the barn door; a,...

    Rob72 replied to morecoffeepls's topic in General Nursing

    Daaaaang, brother. Find some cheap hookers, willing to sell some meth for you on the side? Seriously, you might get close if you found a niche service in your area, and getting your "family...

    whats your favorite glucometer brand

    Rob72 replied to Trekfan's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    Do you use a pump? If so, the OneTouch Ultra-link is easy to see, and will work with the "bolus wizard" feature on Medtronic's products (maybe others as well, not sure). The UltraSmart isn't quite as...

    The Failure of the Joint Commission

    Rob72 replied to abbaking's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    In referencing TJC, the TJC does not "want" to reduce/rectify any of the above. Their federal funding requires that they identify unspecified problems and address them in (unspecified) ways....

    hostile workplace- dangerous co worker, low morale

    Rob72 replied to ziggysgal,RN's topic in General Nursing

    "Why do people do it...?" Well, there is a reason, two, if you count plain ol' stoopid. The psychology is pretty much the same as the 23 y/o Gulf War I vet(or the 23 y/o Vietnam vet, 15 years ago )....

    How to remain professional during female/male nudity?

    Rob72 replied to Duke9023's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Honestly? If the individual has "psycho-social adjustment issues", along with a case of small-peter, yeah, I can be pretty sarcastic. In the absence of aberrant, socially maladaptive behavior, its...

    I have a subject but can't come up with the question.

    Rob72 replied to IVyPush-her's topic in Research

    This is a pet peeve, so I'm admitting to bias, up front. Do they know what they don't know? Nursing schools have re-oriented towards the theoretical/philosophical goals in nursing, essentially...
