  1. ICU Nurse Fired For Refusing 3rd Patient

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    From the point of view of our licensed professional responsibilities, our professional and ethical duty is to our patients and as nurses we are the patient's

  2. ICU Nurse Fired For Refusing 3rd Patient

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I read in the OP that the post-op patient was post-op open heart surgery. Why do you think that a new post-op open heart surgery patient shouldn't be in the ICU? Even if the patient had been in the...

  3. ICU Nurse Fired For Refusing 3rd Patient

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps you did not intend this, but I read your use of the words: "If the employee overdocuments/documents things not done as the charting would make it appear, obviously they are in the wrong (one...

  4. New Grad and Rejected from First Choice Job Option

    Susie2310 replied to Joanne15's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    When you posted on another thread that you started about what you did with the call light, asking how to apologize to your Charge Nurse (I notice that thread has been deleted) you left a negative...

  5. Continuing Education/Career Development Question

    Susie2310 replied to ziggysgal,RN's topic in Emergency

    Why do you think that no amount of continuing education sessions will make you a better nurse, just hopefully a more informed nurse? Good quality continuing education can very definitely help make...

  7. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    Susie2310 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I remember playing "Doctors and Nurses" when I was a

  8. And, the Award Goes To...

    Susie2310 replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I believe there are around 3 million nurses in the US so there's a good chance that many people have had contact with a nurse at some time in their lives (if not as a patient, their family member,...

  9. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    Susie2310 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    All you have to do is follow the task list? How does using critical thinking fit in with following the task list? How do you prioritize patient care when you are following the task list? What kind...

  10. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    Susie2310 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Did I read this correctly: You are saying that the UK government has given unlicensed caregivers - healthcare assistants - the role/responsibilities of RN's: assessing, planning, intervening, and...

  11. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    Susie2310 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry; I misread what you were asking. Remember that the ADN nurses had already completed the clinical requirements for graduation from their program, and had already passed the NCLEX. The ADN-BSN...

  12. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    Susie2310 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Some of the generic BSN students (as distinct from the ADN-BSN Bridge students) told me in their final semesters that they didn't receive much clinical training during their

  13. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    Susie2310 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    You ommitted to mention the traditional ADN-BSN Bridge Program: "One that did the ASN/ADN, and then did the BSN at a bricks and mortar university - which included a community health clinical and...

  14. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    Susie2310 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I think the OP is raising a bigger question than just the practicalities of completing a BSN. He/she is also asking: "What is all this about?" and "Why are we doing this?" It's a reasonable...

  15. On this week's episode of 'People Offending the Entire Profession of Nursing'...

    Susie2310 replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Today in the US, patients who meet the criteria for hospitalization are usually very sick, often with many co-morbidities. As part of a nurse's scope of practice here we are expected to use our...

  16. On this week's episode of 'People Offending the Entire Profession of Nursing'...

    Susie2310 replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. This is very interesting. So the doctor would assess these systems using a stethoscope, and the nurse would carry out the treatment/s that the doctor orders, and then the doctor, not the...

  17. On this week's episode of 'People Offending the Entire Profession of Nursing'...

    Susie2310 replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    In what types of situations would nurses use stethoscopes in the UK? Are you saying that UK nurses who provide bedside care do not listen to apical pulse, heart sounds, lung sounds, or bowel sounds...

  18. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    Susie2310 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    You can believe what I wrote or not, as you choose. I can't give any details, but I have no information that the delay was due to ill health on the part of the patient. In my own experience, I have...

  19. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    Susie2310 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Grumpy, I have a relative in the UK who waited a number of years after their initial surgical consult had taken place for a promised, necessary surgery, and spent much of that time in pain while...

  20. On this week's episode of 'People Offending the Entire Profession of Nursing'...

    Susie2310 replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    With respect, at least, back in those days, nurses knew how to provide bedside care (i.e. they knew how to perform nurses' fundamental duties taking care of patients) with far fewer of the resources...

  21. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    Susie2310 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not understanding how the health care benefits that you receive through the government (I understood you receive your healthcare through the government since you said you have stayed in the...

  22. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe that a nurse arguing in Court that one was unable to meet the Standard of Care and provide safe patient care because the facility culture is not to provide actual safe patient care,...

  23. Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    Susie2310 replied to FrustratedExStudent's topic in General Students

    I think this is a very unfortunate situation, but want to mention that in my experience the relationship between a facility that has an arrangement with a nursing school that allows nursing students...
