    You raised a question as to why "women are catered to" and stated your objections to your female co-workers rushing in to take care of your female patients in situations where the care required is of...
  2. Hindrance to professional growth

  4. Hindrance to professional growth

    Are you aware of the statistics that exist, which only represent a fraction of incidents actually reported, in regard to the physical, mental, and sexual abuse of women? It is a fact that many women...
  5. HIPAA and Advocate for competent patient

    Read the link MunoRN provided on common questions about HIPAA, point #4 for information on sharing health information over the phone. Then read my first post where I said in my particular case I had...
  6. HIPAA and Advocate for competent patient

    My post above referred to information I am legally entitled to. The law is on my side. I'm sorry you don't like
  7. HIPAA and Advocate for competent patient

    My legally competent family member was recently hospitalized. I am the POA and in addition to the POA I have an authorized statement signed by my family member and witnessed and notarized by a lawyer...
  8. Nursing makes me hate fat people

    How do you treat your patients that you do not consider to be generally respectful back? Your words say that if your patients are not generally respectful towards you then you do not treat them with...
  9. Good, you grasped the point I am
  10. Less than two years experience does not equal experienced. Competence is borne of
  11. I don't mean to be rude but your dismissive attitude rattles me more than the fact that you made it through nursing school without, to use your own words, "ever wiping a butt." My family member with...
  12. I read on another thread of a student's clinical experience that apparently consisted of more "observation" than hands on nursing
  13. Your experience of your BSN program without previous ADN/Diploma RN training are similar to comments I heard from generic BSN students in 1996/1997 when I bridged to BSN from my ADN program. In the...
  14. After 10 weeks, my biggest fear has come true...

    When I was a student we went to the hospital the evening before clinical to get our assignments and to research patient information related to the care we would be giving. We also introduced...
  15. Post for all of us here a link to the study you consider most
  16. Please would the people who are insisting that evidence exists to prove that acute care nursing staff with more BSN trained nurses have better patient outcomes post a link to their evidence. It is...
  17. Physician training involves, as I understand it, generally tens of thousands of hours of training. Physicians must first obtain an undergraduate degree, usually in a science, followed by four years...

    Because you are important and naturally everything you do is of importance and relevance to other
  19. The article/publication says the data was collected from a survey of the National Student Nurses' Association new grad RN
  20. RN->BSN: Is it worth the investment at 57?

    I think that if I was in your position I would check what kind of facilities are hiring ADN's in your area, and then if at all possible apply to those positions in order to gain some paid nursing...
  21. You won't believe.....

    My response most closely mirrors the one above. I remember that when I was a student the expectation from the clinical instructors was for us to be very respectful, considerate and polite, as we were...
  22. janfrn and prmenrs, you are both much stronger people than me. I can't imagine being able to do what you
  23. ICU visiting hours

    My own experience as a family member was that the period of separation, before I was allowed in to the critical care unit to be with my spouse who was sedated and on a ventilator, was far far more...
  24. Thank You

    EDNurse74 in my post #6 I was replying to post #5, not the OP's message. Please re-read my post #6 where I quoted the person I was responding
