    FiremedicMike replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

  2. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    FiremedicMike replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    It is disgusting that she is continuing to profit off of her incompetence and that a professional nursing organization would support this. Picture the dumbest nurse that you work with. Imagine...

    Meanwhile I had a coworker who was using CBD oil from one of the "guaranteed not to test positive" well known CBD oil makers.. Tested positive and terminated immediately. The problem with CBD oil...

  7. This is why...

    FiremedicMike replied to djmatte's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Listen bub, I think you need to revisit the flow of this conversation, the aggression started with you. You continue to assert that I can't do a simple internet search, I have repeatedly stated...

  8. Nurse Practitioner had live sex for online viewing

    FiremedicMike replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    She states the videos were non consensually recorded and distributed. Googling this would only turn up articles that are biased either way, unless one was searching for the actual videos which would...

    FiremedicMike replied to djmatte's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I do? I'm really not sure why you're coming out with guns ablazin at me.. then again, since we're talking about people having "a habit of" doing anything when they post, you generally have a habit of...

    FiremedicMike replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    She contends these videos were recorded without her consent and were mined from the dark web. The media previously reported that she posted her videos to a public site, but we all know how the media...

  11. This is why...

    FiremedicMike replied to djmatte's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I read that article before I posted, to recap its content: out of all the patient/provider lawsuits over a 35 year span, physicians were only named in 96 cases and were only found negligent or...

  12. This is why...

    FiremedicMike replied to djmatte's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I did before I posted it. There's a lot of "could pose liability issues" opinion pieces out there and a lot of "the doc was named in the suit too" (duh, everyone gets named in every suit), but I've...

  13. This is why...

    FiremedicMike replied to djmatte's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There is a lot of legal theory talk about where the buck stops when mistakes are made. It seems to happen a lot in medicine, where every level is taught a significant amount of "ITS YOUR LICENSE ON...

  16. Anti Vaxxer I Knew Became A Nurse

    FiremedicMike replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

  19. Phasing Out ADN?

    FiremedicMike replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    Just popping in.. I'm now well into my RN to BSN and I still feel exactly the same, perhaps a bit more cantankerous. For frame of reference, I go to a respected program that has been around a...

    FiremedicMike replied to Damon McGill's topic in Critical Care

    FiremedicMike replied to NewRookie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I dunno what to tell you, your anecdotal experience from what a professor told you does not mirror what is happening every day in ED's. I'll certainly acknowledge that my area of the country...

    Cut her a break, it's hard to differentiate those patients from the legit ones in the beginning. We've all been roped
