  1. African American male here. I have some questions for my fellow nurses

    RNGriffin replied to Shack502's topic in General Students

    What does being African American have to do with your job performance or success? I am African American( Somalian) and I have been greatly successful in my career. I was slightly distracted by your...

  2. Nursing Major in Doubt...

    RNGriffin replied to Lil.B.1490's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I think Marcos999 has elicited fear in those who do have a criminal background of minor offenses or misdemeanors. I wouldn't say your chances are absolute none, but a criminal track record will likely...

  3. Nursing Major in Doubt...

    RNGriffin replied to Lil.B.1490's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    As an experienced nurse my advise would be, you need more education in those classes you have basic knowledge in. Anatomy & Physiology should be a course where you exceed or do well above bare...

  4. Obamacare, what could go wrong?

    RNGriffin replied to SC_RNDude's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am not doing the work for you! You have the information, utilize google. You will receive your political information from the sources you choose. But, I am here to rebuttal your information with...

  5. Obamacare, what could go wrong?

    RNGriffin replied to SC_RNDude's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Where should we begin? Should we begin when Fox news broadcasted in July of 2010..."Caucasian Americans need to be afraid, black people are coming to get you. Black organizers are coming to take your...

  6. Obamacare, what could go wrong?

    RNGriffin replied to SC_RNDude's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I failed to mention, this is the same guy who opened up a business school and forgot he had to be credentialed in order to consider himself a NY accredited college. Donald Trump and Fox...

  7. Obamacare, what could go wrong?

    RNGriffin replied to SC_RNDude's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think you would have been better off giving a quote from Donald Duck rather than Donald Trump. This is the same guy who has filed bankruptcy 3 years back to back( what kind of economics courses did...

  8. Mental Health Interview

    RNGriffin replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Psychiatric

    I have rotated in a mental health unit ,and I can confidently say: this is a specialty all of itself. You are no longer working with signs, but strategic symptoms, because you are working with an...

  9. Living "weeks to months" with no food and sips of fluid? Really?

    RNGriffin replied to Marshall1's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    After aging the definition of "quality of life"

  10. Living "weeks to months" with no food and sips of fluid? Really?

    RNGriffin replied to Marshall1's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I wouldn't call the nurse inexperienced, as there have been several cases I have attended where the individual has sustained, although comatose was present, with no nutritional intake. The body has a...

  11. Do Navy Nurse Reserve OFFICERS have to complete boot camp?

    RNGriffin replied to BorgQueen1701's topic in Government, Military

    Every member of the Armed Forced is required to complete a 6 week-minimum basic training

  12. Do Navy Nurse Reserve OFFICERS have to complete boot camp?

    RNGriffin replied to BorgQueen1701's topic in Government, Military

    For current or former Officers of military branches other than the Navy (OSVET), as well as for Officer candidates without prior military experience: You will need to meet the initial leadership...

  13. Need advice after losing first nursing job

    RNGriffin replied to AsianNurse27's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You can apply to new residency programs, most shy away from new grads who have already held another residency position. You could call the board of nursing to inquire about refresher courses. All the...

  14. How did you do it?

    RNGriffin replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    I worked full time 3pm-12am, often arriving to work at 3:30pm due to clinicals being 7-3. I will say you must build the drive and focus to stick it out and survive. I had a great job that allowed me...

  15. Hospital CEO Salaries: Are The Big Bucks Justified?

    RNGriffin replied to TheCommuter's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Coming from an executive position prior to going active with my nursing license, I will definitely say our pay is well justified. Though we render the bedside care, there's a lot more that goes on...

  16. Confused between school and preganacy

    RNGriffin replied to sabita143's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You sort of answered your own question. Although reinforcing your statement is politically incorrect, you've already stated you're not ready to become a mother and lack adequate support. So, the rest...

  17. Did I scare them away? (Long Story)

    RNGriffin replied to NurseWinn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would like to commend you on your relentless approach. Although, next time someone asks you what sets you apart from other candidates shy away from listing your credentials. Your schooling and...

  18. Critical Care in Corrections

    RNGriffin replied to UGADawgs's topic in Correctional

    I don't think any critically ill patient would be allowed to remain in a state facility. This is not saying the patient is released from incarceration, but correction nurses are not equipped to handle...

  19. My classmates dropping like flies???

    RNGriffin replied to mttzakr87's topic in General Students

    This is typical for a nursing program. Most individuals don't realize the amount of dedication, or even realize what the job entails until he/she is in the nursing program. Keep pushing ahead, and...

  20. Nursing school

    RNGriffin replied to danielalfier's topic in LPN to RN

    I would be surprised if this post could be more incomplete. Not to mention, you shouldn't rely on the allnurses community to do the leg work for you. If you had school in mind & were attempting to...

  21. SICU with No Surgery Patients :(

    RNGriffin replied to chordringer's topic in MICU, SICU

    I work in a teaching hospital, and while low census is not abnormal; to have low census records for 3 continuous months is in the abnormal range. I have seen two units in our facility closed down to...

  22. No need to be upset at the truth! Change careers

    RNGriffin posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    One thing that has baffled me on this website is individuals always are up in arms when the truth is, if you have no passion for the profession you need to make life decisions for yourself. Most...

  23. Is Faith Enough?

    RNGriffin replied to jaelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    While I am no Christian or specific religion, I do think the universe is of supernatural existence. I don't know what makes the world turn on its axis or if humans evolved from primates or magically...

    RNGriffin replied to RNGriffin's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Understood!

  25. No need to be upset at the truth! Change careers

    RNGriffin replied to RNGriffin's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The content of my OP has struck a cord with some individuals which it wasn't even directed towards. If you hate your place of employment and working conditions, that's not speaking to the reasons why...
