  1. Seeking Advice: Direct Entry Blues

    Susie2310 replied to mk989's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In the post I replied to the poster used the words "not particularly relevant." I quoted the post. Go back and look at the post I quoted. I quoted part of post #52. As an aside, relevant is a synonym...

  2. Seeking Advice: Direct Entry Blues

    Susie2310 replied to mk989's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Flipping my words to the above would be artificial on your part since I replied to the content of a specific post and my comment was appropriate to the specific post. Please do not take my words out...

  3. Addressing Bullying in the ED

    Susie2310 replied to allnurses's topic in Emergency

    I strongly agree with this, and I would add that I think it will be a disservice to patients

  4. PVC's, APC's No Treatment?

    Susie2310 replied to Kooky Korky's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I'm guessing that the poster that you replied to may have been referring to patients who are elderly with significant heart disease and possibly multiple serious co-morbidities for whom medical...

  5. Addressing Bullying in the ED

    Susie2310 replied to allnurses's topic in Emergency

    "According to a 2011 study by the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA), 54.5 percent out of 6,504 emergency nurses experienced physical violence and/or verbal abuse from a patient and/or visitor during...

  6. Seeking Advice: Direct Entry Blues

    Susie2310 replied to mk989's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not sure why you told the above poster that you "don't use parlor tricks in your practice." I don't think anyone suggested that you were doing this. According to your bio you specialize in...

  7. When refusing to work is considered abandonment?

    Susie2310 replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    If I was in your situation I would begin by checking what my state BRN web site says constitutes abandonment of patients, and whether receiving report but refusing the patient assignment based on...

  8. Vasoactive Drips with a DNR

    Susie2310 replied to DaveICURN's topic in General Nursing

    DNR means: "don't resuscitate the patient if their heart stops"; it doesn't mean "do not treat." It sounded to me from the OP's post that the patient, an end stage cancer patient who had previously...

  9. Am I too small to be a nurse?

    Susie2310 replied to Sbhayes09's topic in General Nursing

    Bolded is mine. This made me smile, and having experienced similar as a small person I have to

  10. Best advice for bullying

    Susie2310 replied to krissyycupcake's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with you that bullying can be a one time thing, but I didn't see the instance of yelling the OP described as bullying. I didn't read into the yelling as being intentionally designed to injure...

  11. Best advice for bullying

    Susie2310 replied to krissyycupcake's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The nurse yelled at the OP and continued to yell at the OP in front of the patient. I still see this as maladaptive behavior, not undermining, not abuse, and not bullying, and I disagree with your...

  12. Bad experience as a patient

    Susie2310 replied to Haarlem's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You and I understood the situation as described by the OP

  13. Bad experience as a patient

    Susie2310 replied to Haarlem's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When you experienced not being able to breathe in the PACU after undergoing general anesthesia and called for help, I would have expected your nurse to come to assess you right away. I presumed your...

  14. Best advice for bullying

    Susie2310 replied to krissyycupcake's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think that you have learned how important it is to check the physician's orders and to clarify any orders that are unclear to you. IV fluid prep is very important for patients who have kidney...

  15. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    I find this comment extraordinary. You are a guide on this site. You are defending the studies, not me. I am not required to post any study or sources. Who are

  16. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    A large variety of views have been shared. The last time I looked this thread had close to 36,000 views. The OP has 24 likes. I would like to ask why we are repetitively told by primarily a few...

  17. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Do you realize how patronizing your post is? Just because you and others found the BSN valuable (for you), it doesn't mean that it is inherently valuable for everyone. Please would you and others...

  18. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Was more information provided in the studies than you have

  19. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    You are absolutely entitled to your opinion as every poster on this site

  20. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I understand the difference, and I know that in an earlier post I spoke about both within the same paragraph, so I can see how this caused

  21. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Which text are you referring to my quoting? I didn't quote any text. Do you mean your post? I asked for specific outcomes measured. A more complete description than you provided, as it would have...

  22. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    You appear to be tying to divert attention from my

  23. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    I asked for specific outcomes measured and how specifically they were measured. I am asking for

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    I asked for

  25. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    No, you didn't post the information I asked for. Read my posts again. I am not speaking in defense of any studies as you are; there is no reason for me to provide a study or
