  1. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Then there seems to be good reason for people to stop insisting that BSN prepared nurses provide nursing care that results in superior patient outcomes versus ADN prepared

  2. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Once again, you seem to be a little defensive. On a public forum, where much discussion about this topic has taken place, with Bostonfnp a major contributor, this is not an inappropriate question to...

  3. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    You haven't mentioned the specific outcomes of the studies that I asked you about earlier. If these are the major studies, why didn't you state what the specific outcomes were? What were the...

  4. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you are so suspicious of my motives, but I assure you my question is genuine and not intended as a trap. You provide some insight into how you think though. Yes, I can get the information...

  5. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Is it possible that as a former nursing instructor/faculty member you feel a little defensive? Really, this is a serious discussion. I haven't seen you provide any answers to how nursing education...

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Then tell us what specific outcomes were measured, and how, specifically, they were

  7. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    The NCLEX is the professional licensing exam for RN's. There is no two tiered system; one for BSN prepared graduates and one for ADN/Diploma prepared nurses. State boards of nursing do not make a...

  10. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    You haven't answered my question. What is the level of evidence for the studies? Are the studies not qualitative in design? This is a fairly low level of

  11. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    And the level of evidence for the studies? Qualitative? Do we have a Randomized Control Trial

  12. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    There have been pages and pages of discussion on this forum of ADN versus BSN, and pages and pages of discussion about the studies that purport to show that BSN educated nurses provide care that...

  13. What if I'm the Bully?

    Susie2310 replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    This,

  14. What if I'm the Bully?

    Susie2310 replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    I don't usually participate in threads about bullying but after reading your example of your "incivility" to the new nurse I felt compelled to comment. I found your response to the new nurse's...

  15. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    I think this post really expresses the crux of this whole discussion. Bravo to this poster. I would like to hear recognition of the problem and solutions from nurses who hold positions in nursing...

  16. Should a nurse suggest a different doctor?

    Susie2310 replied to brownbook's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I remember a nurse telling me that if she knew someone wasn't a good doctor she would suggest to the patient/family that they could seek a second opinion. I have had staff (non-nursing) drop hints to...

    5:38 pm by elkpark Quote from Susie2310 Interesting that you find the continuing education requirement to be an empty gesture but you don't find the requirement that nurses should have to go back to...

  18. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting that you find the continuing education requirement to be an empty gesture but you don't find the requirement that nurses should have to go back to obtain a BSN an empty gesture. Even if...

  19. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    True, some nurses won't/don't care about making an effort with CE courses, just as some nurses won't/don't care about making an effort with BSN course work. But I don't see how this makes my point in...

  20. BSN is a joke

    Susie2310 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Some of the posts on this thread remind me of a discussion I read quite a long time ago on the CRNA forum. The topic was about CRNA's billing for their services if I remember correctly, and in the...

  21. Where does it all go?

    Susie2310 replied to Sothatswhatitis's topic in General Nursing

    Are you using a brain sheet? It sounds to me as though you may need a good brain sheet to help you organize/prioritize your care and to help you give an organized report with pertinent patient...

  22. Spouse vs. MPOA and feeding tubes

    Susie2310 replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds as though you went through a lot, but I'm afraid your post is not making sense to me. What's important is your patient's wishes in regard to their Dobhoff tube, i.e. did the patient want...

  23. Spouse vs. MPOA and feeding tubes

    Susie2310 replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    Why were you sure that you and the resident were right? I'm not saying you weren't as I don't know the situation, but am just wondering why you thought this. It sounds as though the family member...

  24. Patient Rights and POA

    Susie2310 replied to shannonh17's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If you read my comments you will see that my suggestion that the OP called the BON to learn their position on this situation was in regard to the OP's situation that has ALREADY TAKEN PLACE, the...

  25. Why do we do codes?

    Susie2310 replied to scrubs0204's topic in General Nursing

    There is also the issue of some nurses not understanding that DNR aka "Do Not Resuscitate" does not mean "Do not treat." A problem arises when physicians and nurses lack knowledge that care -...
