  1. "stale" new grad

    Susie2310 replied to jxRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just wanted to mention, hopefully without causing offence, that those skills, such as NG and foley insertion, and starting IV's, do require use of the nursing process and assessment skills too - it...

  2. Taking the CEN to get hired at a trauma center

    Susie2310 replied to alkayda's topic in Emergency

    To the OP, if you haven't already done so, I recommend reading previous threads on the CEN

  3. Poop Free Nursing Jobs in the Hospital?

    Susie2310 replied to IcySageNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Best post on this

  4. ADN's being pushed out

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

    I have never said I intended to post any study. Your post is

  5. ADN's being pushed out

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

    One's own experience and beliefs does not qualify one to generalize about other nurses qualifications and

  6. ADN's being pushed out

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

    I obtained my RN through an ADN program, and then bridged to a BSN program at a state university. The ADN program provided the foundation of my nurse training and is where I learned to think...

  7. Why do nurses constantly say they don't hire ASN?

    Susie2310 replied to dance4life's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  8. Why do nurses constantly say they don't hire ASN?

    Susie2310 replied to dance4life's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This conversation is about much more than just "My degree is better than yours." Certain people have a vested interest in promoting as an established fact the notion that nursing care provided by BSN...

  9. Why do nurses constantly say they don't hire ASN?

    Susie2310 replied to dance4life's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In at least one of my previous responses to you I have referred to study design and study limitations. I have also disputed the use of statistics in studies with you, and have disputed the meaning of...

  10. Why do nurses constantly say they don't hire ASN?

    Susie2310 replied to dance4life's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    So you are saying most of the major studies are flawed. In previous discussions with you about these kinds of studies I have referred to study design and limitations, but you have continued to ask me...

  11. Why do nurses constantly say they don't hire ASN?

    Susie2310 replied to dance4life's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Other people besides myself have refuted the evidence you have put

  12. Why do nurses constantly say they don't hire ASN?

    Susie2310 replied to dance4life's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    As far as I know, the "evidence" that acute care patient outcomes are significantly improved with higher levels of BSN staff is highly debatable. So debatable in fact, that a nurse posted on AN a...

  13. Blue about Code Blue

    Susie2310 replied to barbaralynn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    An elderly patient who is acutely ill may not be alert and oriented when they are hospitalized. This does not mean that their baseline level of functioning in their life is not good. They may have...

  14. Blue about Code Blue

    Susie2310 replied to barbaralynn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't know your family situation obviously, but I presumed that your grandfather wished to have his code status changed. In the case of my family, I have older family members who have experienced...

  15. Blue about Code Blue

    Susie2310 replied to barbaralynn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I disagree with your nursing instructor's question to the patient "Do you want to be resuscitated," versus "Do you want to be allowed a natural death?" I am going by your literal wording of your...

  16. Fairly Unique Situation

    Susie2310 replied to Drstrangelove88's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would like to point out that some time back a nurse on AN posted that he/she was part of a panel for his/her state that reviewed one particular prominent study in regard to the subject of...

  17. In Support of Independent NP Practice

    Susie2310 replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Juan, in regard to the missed sepsis diagnosis, when it is your family member it

  18. In Support of Independent NP Practice

    Susie2310 replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Completely relevant to the matter at

  19. In Support of Independent NP Practice

    Susie2310 replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    BlueDevil, nurse practitioner training is not comparable to physician training. Please direct me to the data you say proves that nurse practitioners practice safely and on a par with physicians;...

  20. In Support of Independent NP Practice

    Susie2310 replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There is a big difference between the training and experience of a physician and that of a nurse practitioner. The great outcomes I have read about in studies nurse practitioners referred me to have...

  21. In Support of Independent NP Practice

    Susie2310 replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Data to support my position that physicians are trained in medicine and are uniquely qualified by their training to practice medicine? Nurse practitioners do not provide the same quality of medical...

  22. In Support of Independent NP Practice

    Susie2310 replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    According to the terms of service I may respectfully disagree with other views put forward on this thread. Someone made the point on another thread that they believe medical school is the place for...

  23. Awful Doctors

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

    I don't condone bullying of anyone by anyone, but when I re-read the OP I don't see that the doctor was bullying the OP. The doctor raised his/her voice at the OP when the OP failed to take timely...

  24. Helping accident victoms

    Susie2310 replied to jonesb1984's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    My understanding is that the Good Samaritan Act protects you from civil lawsuits as long as you are not grossly negligent in your actions. I have read gross negligence defined as lack of due...

  25. Super Obese

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

    I ask the forbearance of other posters on this thread for posting somewhat off-topic, but I will bring my post back in to relationship with the theme of this thread. To PRICHARILLAISMISSED, thank you...
