  1. Not to beat a dead horse but ...

    Susie2310 replied to BeachsideRN's topic in General Nursing

    Have you researched your local area as far as ADN/BSN employer preference? The BSN "push" is not happening in all areas, including mine. Yes, it is possible to go directly from an ADN program to a...

  2. "Dear Nurses: Please Forgive Me" : A Response

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

    Ruby, the nurse's behavior was not abusive to the staff, unless you consider asking for red jello to be abusive. What abuse are you seeing? Please state the behaviors. Regardless of the skill or...

  3. "Dear Nurses: Please Forgive Me" : A Response

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

    Anyone can express anything they want, but when one is callous and insensitive one shouldn't be surprised when one receives a

  4. "Dear Nurses: Please Forgive Me" : A Response

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

    I quoted all of Esme's post intentionally because I feel equally angry. Reading the OP's post I felt nothing but disgust towards the OP. The OP is the person who should get out of nursing in my...

  5. ADN Nurses Being Forced to go Back to School?

    Susie2310 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I believe you are writing primarily from a theoretical point of view, as, from your profile, you are a pre-nursing student. I can tell you that my experience of being respected by physicians, after...

  6. GT feeding stopped after family's wishes

    Susie2310 replied to zmaldon's topic in General Nursing

    I too recommend that the OP read this

  7. The Face of a Medical Error...

    Susie2310 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have learned that when a patient or their family member questions a medication/dose or expresses reluctance to receive said medication/dose, it is extremely important to pay attention. Don't assume...

  8. Advice please: Withdrawal of feeding tube

    Susie2310 replied to Clubsingr28's topic in General Nursing

    I am wondering if it is possible that the family are just genuinely ignorant of their family member's medical condition, and (due to lack of knowledge), and possibly other outside pressures, perceive...

  9. moderate sedation - a nurses right to refuse

    Susie2310 replied to ConcernedRN03's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I am not a CRNA, but my understanding is that if, as a nurse, I have reason to believe that administering a medication/dose, procedure, treatment, etc. would be contrary to my patient's best...

  10. Obamacare? what are your thoughts

    Susie2310 replied to nija315's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You have practically come to hate your Medicare Advantage patients? You are saying you do everything you can to avoid seeing them and avoid sending them to specialities because you feel you are not...

  11. BSN from 4 year program required

    Susie2310 replied to tokmom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am confused, because from reading previous posts of yours, it sounds as though you have been steadily employed as a nurse over a good number of years, in various geographic locations. You also...

  12. BSN from 4 year program required

    Susie2310 replied to tokmom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I learned something new - thank

  13. BSN from 4 year program required

    Susie2310 replied to tokmom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I bridged into a BSN program at a state university approximately 18 years ago, and the ADN-BSN students took all (or definitely most) of the nursing classes together with the BSN students. As far as...

  14. BSN from 4 year program required

    Susie2310 replied to tokmom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    tokmom, I'm understanding the wording differently, as in "BSN from a 4 year program required" would include ADN-BSN's who participate in the last several semesters of a 4 year

  15. When's the doctor coming in??

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

    When I've been the family member, this is the reason why I have

  16. Online Rn to Bsn as schools as good as brick and mortar?

    Susie2310 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't intend to post the name of the university, and you can believe me or disbelieve me as you choose. It is indeed a bricks and mortar program. Perhaps it would be helpful to research nursing...

  17. Online Rn to Bsn as schools as good as brick and mortar?

    Susie2310 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The state university ADN-BSN program I attended had all this. We had a community health practicum, and a preceptorship. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to try a completely new specialty for...

  18. RN's: Who helps you with controversial issues in your practice?

    Susie2310 replied to JuliaRNMSN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My thoughts are similar to Elkpark's. In regard to dealing with controversial issues in nursing, I have found that reading and assimilating the Nurse Practice Act for my state, the Nurse's Code of...

  19. ADN's being pushed out

    Susie2310 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Using knowledge of correct research procedure and correct statistical procedure, one can refute a study paragraph by paragraph without having to provide another study. Sometimes it is overwhelmingly...

  20. The Nursing Shortage

    Susie2310 replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing

    No nursing shortage whatever, but in my area the myth of the "severe shortage" is still

  21. ADN's being pushed out

    Susie2310 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    BostonFNP, you will have to accept that not everyone, with good reasons, accepts what is said to be demonstrated in multiple studies. Some of those people have posted on this thread. Hence the use...

  22. ADN's being pushed out

    Susie2310 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The "evidence" is unfortunately not universally accepted, and not just by people who believe in conspiracy theories, but by educated

  23. ADN's being pushed out

    Susie2310 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You are also in favor of independent nurse practitioner practice, as well as BSN for entry into practice, and have argued vehemently on AN that studies support these events. From other posts you have...

  24. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    Susie2310 replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You are welcome. If you are interested, there are some very good current nursing procedure books that incorporate using the nursing process along with the procedural steps. Best wishes to

  25. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    Susie2310 replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I respect and understand that your experience is limited. It's absolutely fine to have limited experience. But since you are posting on this thread, I am understanding that you are open to...
