    MN-Nurse replied to KarriRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    After you have worked in LTC, especially dementia care, for a while, you will realize you wouldn't do anything different with this resident than you would with any other. Any resident with dementia -...

    MN-Nurse replied to hagler2011's topic in General Nursing

  6. HEALTH INSURANCE?

    MN-Nurse replied to Jmiami's topic in General Students

    My school offered a very high deductible policy for like $100 a month or so. I did the math and figured if anything really bad happened, I would go bankrupt anyway so I rolled the dice uninsured until...

  7. Flu Vac, should it be mandatory

    MN-Nurse replied to hagler2011's topic in General Nursing

    Babies are vaccinated because we as a society (us, not the boogyman "gubmint") got tired of counting dead babies. And they are dreadfully easy to count. Why is it that every "right" in your slippery...

  8. Flu Vac, should it be mandatory

    MN-Nurse replied to hagler2011's topic in General Nursing

    So you only take (or give for that matter) medications you grew, labeled and packaged? Really. More likely, you just pick vaccines as the intervention that rises to the standard of "you must have...

    MN-Nurse replied to teterichko123's topic in General Students

    I know I say this a lot, but boy am I thankful to work where I do. I am fairly fresh off orientation and I had two student nurses with me tonight. They are in their last semester of an ADN program. I...

  10. Documenting Pt statements accurately yet politely?

    MN-Nurse replied to Katie803's topic in General Students

    MN-Nurse replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    How exactly is this going to add more respect to the profession? Think about it: Lets say you make this change so MSN is entry level RN. Now what happens? Well, you lose a gajillion RNs and don't...

  16. Do you think nursing would be more advanced as a profression if...

    MN-Nurse replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    Any profession in a male-dominated society is going to have an array of consequences for being primarily staffed by women. That being said, nursing does pretty danged well compared to many other...

  22. Hospitals starting to hire new grads again?

    MN-Nurse replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes. During orientation, the Chief Nursing Officer (500 bed hospital) told us, "We cut back nurses in 2009, didn't hire any in 2010, and now we are starting to hire again." The new grads in my...
