  4. Chances of getting hired... will ACLS help?

    Susie2310 replied to futuresctRN's topic in Cardiac

    If one puts in the time and effort involved in learning to recognize basic EKG rhythms, which in my experience takes time and effort, and then puts in the time applying that knowledge to an ACLS...

    Susie2310 replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

  8. Why are magnet hospitals bad?

    Susie2310 replied to golson's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It's a pity you have to bring up the ADN/Diploma nurse and BSN issue again. Multiple threads on AN discuss the much touted "evidence" that claims the care BSN trained nurses provide results in...

  11. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    Susie2310 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

  12. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    Susie2310 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    It is also possible to get all your charting done during your shift at the expense of providing quality patient care. Newer nurses (which you identified yourself as) are task oriented because they...

  13. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    Susie2310 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Having all your charting done and meds passed by the end of your shift says nothing about the quality of care you have provided. I would venture it is very likely that the seasoned nurses who stay...

  14. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    Susie2310 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I volunteered in the ER for a year before nursing school for several hours a week. I also took a first responder course before nursing school. Volunteering in the ER involved stocking linen and...

  15. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    Susie2310 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

  19. Hospitals Firing Seasoned Nurses: Nurses FIGHT Back!

    Susie2310 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    The upper administration: Physicians, nurses, CPA's, MBA's etc., do have to answer to the Board of Directors. But while it is important for all facilities to be as financially solvent as possible, it...

    Susie2310 replied to scarednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Today, nursing students often do not receive sufficient clinical training in nursing school to render them able to practice safely at the level of the novice nurse when they start practice, and...

  21. I shouldn't be a nurse

    Susie2310 replied to scarednurse's topic in General Nursing

  24. How to ask questions...

    Susie2310 replied to morningland's topic in Travel

    It's not imprudent to brush up on skills/procedures you haven't performed in a year, and you should do this on your own time. As nurses we are responsible for being clinically competent to perform...
