    BlueDevil,DNP replied to meatballgirl's topic in General Students

    This is what you don't get: it absolutely is black and white. Absolutely. The fact that this is not crystal clear is simply astounding to

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to meatballgirl's topic in General Students

    This is not quite a Rosa Parks moment folks. It is not that difficult to simply speak up and tell the truth in this instance. And I don't think it is being too curmudgeonly to insist that we uphold...

    Don't say anything

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to lockheart678's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I disagree. Leaving is not the answer. The answer is stay, and learn what it is they have to teach you here. Calm down, and grow from the what the experience has to offer. You can't leave a job...

    MAs call themselves Nurses at my office..opinions please?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to lisaannjamRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In this state, it takes 2 years to obtain a CMA degreee and 9 months to get a LPN. The MAs would be offended to be called a nurse,

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to SpeakUp4ever's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It's the same as non-licensed family members passing them out at home. In assisted living, they re not promised nursing care. They are promised a helping hand. They know that when they sign up. In...

    What do you think about nurses and PA's being called "Doctor"?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to PalmHarborMom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oct 18 by Szasz_is_Right Quote from MedChica When you say 'doctor' in a medical setting, it's synonomous [sic] with 'physican'. What you are failing to account for, while once true, is...

    What do you think about nurses and PA's being called "Doctor"?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to PalmHarborMom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Please explain this. I hold the same "power" as my MD licensed colleagues though our educational paths and degrees differ. I do have occasion to use my title, "Doctor Devil" at times, as I am...

    Would certain experience disqualify me from future employment opportunities?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to sjuksköterska1545634348's topic in First Year After Licensure

    And at other places, it would move you to the top of the stack. Some of us respect reproductive rights and people who value them, provide them, and fight to protect

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to meatballgirl's topic in General Students

    It's not refreshing, it's revolting. The so called jokes are referring to academic fraud regarding a "profession" I happen to care about. Giggle all you like, but don't pretend the rest of us are old...

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to meatballgirl's topic in General Students

    I can't believe this is a serious quandary. There are very straight forward ethical and pragmatic issues here. #1, you (collectively) are cheating and lying. None of you, including the instructor,...

    Differences in practice: experts and novices. Are you learning from one another?

    BlueDevil,DNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are two NPs in my practice, myself and a woman I'll call Zelda. I am a FNP, and have been in practice for 3 years. Zelda is an ANP and has been in practice for 9 years. All of her experience...

    Commute for Job I would love, or less travel to Job I don't like

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to countrygalrn's topic in Nursing Career

    Has none of you considered your carbon footprint and the environmental impact of all of these miles you are driving? I find that irresponsible. I live 1.5 miles from my office, bike to work most days,...

    Very little witnessing going on with drug wastes on my floor!

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to Nurse ABC's topic in Patient Medications

    No, not unusual. No one has time to stand around and watch someone else draw up and waste. In 20 years I think I could count on my 20 fingers & toes the number of times I actually did that "by...

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to countrygalrn's topic in Nursing Career

    I would never commute more than 15 minutes under any circumstances. Keep the short commute for now, and keep looking for a better position within a reasonable distance. 50 miles/minutes each way is...

    Why does every unit have a princess?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to echoRNC711's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    For the record, I don't have friends at work because I choose not to socialize with coworkers, not because they didn't like me or vice versa. My spouse does not socialize with the work set either....

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to echoRNC711's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't know the answers to any of your questions, sorry. I haven't the foggiest idea what people said or thought about me. It's none of my business, so I never asked. As to the middle ground issue,...

    Why are LPNs allowed to supervise RNs in Long-Term Care?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to RNnLTC's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Do you feel that patient safety is being threatened by having a LPN in charge? Is that why you feel you must act in some way? "It just annoys me that the Scope of Practice for RN and LPN in Michigan...

    I an sure the people I used to work with would have said I fit your description. I just simply refused to be taken advantage of. When asked to do things I found unreasonable, I very politely,...

    Was I at fault? the nurse embarrassed me in front of others.

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to crunchytaco's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't know why you would be embarrassed, unless you were issued one of those Hermione Granger time turner necklaces and failed to bring it to work with you as instructed. If that's the case, yes,...

    Happiness vs more money

    DNP & MD :What's the Difference?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    I think the bottom line is that when you earn your DNP, you will be able to do/be whatever you want. And the real advantage is you have time to real do some self discovery and decide what that is....

    Or DNP, doctor of podiatry, optometry, dentistry, etc., of course. I'm not modest, so much as pressed for time. I don't care to explain it, so I'd prefer to side step the issue all together. OP, I...
