  2. GN to NP in <1yr

    Susie2310 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    You are correct that NP's are still nurses. However, if a NP is presuming to diagnose and treat my family or myself I consider the NP is presenting himself/herself as a medical authority, albeit that...

  3. GN to NP in <1yr

    Susie2310 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Here is part of my reply to another poster in which I made the comment you are referring to. I did not say if I wanted cookbook medicine I could use my ipod app. My actual words were: "This is a...

  6. GN to NP in <1yr

    Susie2310 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Here is my reply to you again. Try using the critical thinking you have presumably been trained to do. My first comment to you was: "If someone is holding themself out as a medical authority to me or...

  8. GN to NP in <1yr

    Susie2310 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

  10. GN to NP in <1yr

    Susie2310 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is a pathetic argument. Your post is all about what's good for you. Yes, it's all about money, and sadly, because it's all about money, there is a demand for midlevel providers. Patients...

  12. Paramedics in the hospital setting

    Susie2310 replied to Ellekat2's topic in Rural

    I do not live in your state, but if I could not find an answer to such a question on my state Board of Registered Nursing web site, I would telephone my state Board of Registered Nursing and ask my...

    Susie2310 replied to Barbara H.'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    elkpark, would you be willing to tell us more about how you perceive the nursing education community contributed to the situation referred to in the OP? If I recall correctly from previous posts I...

  14. WHY do I need a BSN?

    Susie2310 replied to AnnMarie52471's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    ADN-BSN/PHN here. It's not clear from your post exactly what kind of care/services you provide in public health, as you talk about BSN's you've worked with having a "more complete critical way of...

  15. WHY do I need a BSN?

    Susie2310 replied to AnnMarie52471's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In your later post on this thread you mentioned that you never got to do any "hands on skills" in clinicals. Did you have an orientation and a preceptor in your private duty job? Being competent at...

  16. WHY do I need a BSN?

    Susie2310 replied to AnnMarie52471's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I bridged to BSN after completing my ADN program. The extra courses were: A public health nursing course; a research class; a couple more nursing theory classes; community health nursing practicum;...

    Susie2310 replied to CareBayer's topic in MICU, SICU

    In reply to your first paragraph, if patient care is truly being compromised due to the presence of the family member/s, and the patient's health decline can truly be attributed to the family...

  18. ICU visiting hours

    Susie2310 replied to CareBayer's topic in MICU, SICU

    It's not your place to judge what is in the best interest of your patients family members. As adults that decision is theirs to make. I am intrigued that you choose to place the cause of your...

  19. blood transfusion and first 15 minutes

    Susie2310 replied to valsalvamanuever2's topic in MICU, SICU

    For those of you who don't stay with the patient during the first 10-15 min, how do you observe the patient for signs of transfusion reaction during that

  20. ICU visiting hours

    Susie2310 replied to CareBayer's topic in MICU, SICU

    Who are you to judge what is unhealthy for family members? How do you know there is absolutely no reason for family members to be there round the clock? Can you really predict when a patient will die...

  21. Sutter Health - Union needed?

    Susie2310 replied to Katinthebox's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I assumed from your post that you are an RN. If that is so, I suggest checking with your State Board of Registered Nursing as to your responsibilities as an RN when being asked to float to a new...

  23. If we make BSN the entry level degree, we should be paid more

    Susie2310 replied to runningcrazy's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It appears that some proponents of BSN for entry into practice have other unstated objectives in wishing to not recognize ADN education as equivalent to BSN education, if the curricula is in some...

  24. If we make BSN the entry level degree, we should be paid more

    Susie2310 replied to runningcrazy's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    From your earlier post on this thread that I have included below, I presume you are referring primarily to the first study in your list when you refer to "the evidence" in your post above. Oct 26 by...

  25. Job outlook for new grad NPs without nursing experience

    Susie2310 replied to junipers's topic in Advanced Practice
