    Why does everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste.....

    ixchel replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    OMG. Dearest AN members, I have come up with a fantastic money making idea. Nursing schools can hire AN to do initial application screenings. We can google sleuth and grammar check all the things, and...

    ixchel replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Most clinicals, as others have said, the students are assigned to patients, and if the CI is doing their job, the CI handles all the stuff the students needs help with in the day. It sounds, by that...

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    ixchel replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    Might I add some humor to the thread? I think that if we are to gather anything from this thread, it is this: Nursing is a profession which requires nurses and students both to work miracles when we...

    Bad idea to take MA position even though i am a RN??

    ixchel replied to ErinDel's topic in General Nursing

    Erin, when you say they hire RNs as MAs, all I can get from that is that they are loving getting away with hiring nurses for MA wages. I understand you're stuck between a rock and a hard place, but if...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    ixchel replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I can only imagine the looks on the pharmacists' faces when you said you believe the flu vaccine's effectiveness was based on placebo effect. Please bring a camera next time you decide to do

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    ixchel replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I believe this would require exposing test subjects to the flu, vaccinated or not, to effectively determine efficacy of the flu vaccine. This is why it is unethical in my mind. Other medications in...

    Your BEST AN memory- in honor of Brian

    ixchel replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Nursing

    I shared some deep feelings about the beginning of my first year of nursing. I felt pretty vulnerable putting it out there. I didn't expect much to come of it - I really wrote it more to just let go...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    This is part of what makes nursing so awesome! Public education on the topic of vaccine benefits lacks in this area. This is part of the reason (in my opinion) for vaccine resisters not getting...
