  3. Comparing the Output of Nurses with Estimated Demand

    I wasn't suggesting my area is an outlier - sorry I was unclear. In my first post I was referring to the very abundant supply of new health care employees, including nurses, in my area, facilitated...
  4. Comparing the Output of Nurses with Estimated Demand

  5. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    samadams8, I agree with you completely that sincere courtesy requires respect, and that all human beings are worthy of being treated respectfully. I know that when I clicked like for Brandon's post I...
  6. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    Life experience that is broad is accumulated over many years and many, many experiences, good and bad. That experience, accumulated over time, is what helps us mature if we are open to understanding,...
  7. ADN's being pushed out

    avengingspirit1, if you truly believe you have fulfilled all the coursework for an RN-BSN, have you contacted a university/nursing program etc. to ask how someone in your position should proceed? If...

  9. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    Jenni811, being lectured about life by a 24 year old is a bit tiring (no offence to other 24 year olds who are not presuming to give lectures about life). When I or my family are hospitalized we hope...
  10. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    chrisrn24, does your mother have more life experience than you? Does a nurse with many years experience have more experience than a nurse with a few years

    Jenni811, you mentioned that you are 24. Everything is much simpler when you are
  16. ADN's being pushed out

    You seem to have a problem with hearing facts that do not support your point of view. It is presumptious of you to say that RN-BSN will never make one a better nurse. Maybe you close your mind to...
  17. ADN's being pushed out

    I want to point out that you are generalizing in your quote above. The curriculum of the RN-BSN program I attended included courses in public health nursing; community health practicum; research;...
  18. Lynn52, reading your post brought back memories of my final semester med-surg rotation. New hospital, hardly any orientation, straight in with four patients, and team-leading. Our patients had their...
  19. Any other cold hearted nurses out there?

    J.R.theR.N2b, I do not believe you need to apologize for disrespecting nurses. I personally do not consider what you wrote disrespectful. allnurses is a public web site, and whilst it is a site for...

    Yes, I agree with your point about the need to keep the patient safe and provide quality care in situations where a patient is temporarily unable to think clearly (anesthetized, delirious, etc.)....
  21. Attention All Nurses....

    In spite of the health care industry, it's profit motives and dubious practices, nurses provide a vital service taking care of patients. If you are idealistic and need a nice ethical system in which...
  22. Things You Didn't Learn in Nursing School

    How quickly/continuously medical science advances/changes, and how much time, effort and expense is involved in trying to keep up with the changes from the point of view of nursing
  23. Ethical Question About Pacemaker

    tewdles, I appreciate hearing your thoughts and experience. I also appreciate you telling me about hospice. No, I didn't think you were intentionally being argumentative, and it was not my intention...
  24. Ethical Question About Pacemaker

    tewdles, the evidence provided by the OP and other nurses on this thread is that the pacemaker was helping to prolong the patient's life, and that turning the pacemaker off allowed their patients to...
