    Where do I go from here?

    heron replied to PDRN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Still quite risky, in my opinion. The conditions you describe are a set-up to re-offend. Med aides are not typically allowed to give PRN or controlled meds, at least in my state. If substance use is a...

    Where do I go from here?

    heron replied to PDRN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I dunno if I agree wither LTC, though. A bedside nurse in LTC is chained to a med cart, handling just about every controlled substance known to man or beast. Not very safe for someone recently...

    How far back do you want to go? Harvard was founded in the 1600s as a protestant divinity school - still is, among other things. Our founding fathers weren't even born yet. I'm sure there's an evil...

    Honest to gawd! I used to curl up in my chair laughing when various non-liberal posters here would go on about "far left radical Obama" etc., when they wouldn't know a far left-wing radical if they...

    What you're objecting to is binary thinking, which I gave up on years ago. Back in the day, I spent six years on my hospital's code team. The work required passing ACLS every 2 years. One...

    I mean any one earning a living in politics. Whether the depth of ignorance is the same across the board is another question. So is the question of whether marketing skills can be used to improve the...

    heron replied to NurseJamie1040's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You seem to be faced with a lot of fairly serious allegations. I don't have any relevant legal experience, but a couple of things stand out to me. AN is a public forum. I suggest that you not...

    Activist and/or bought and paid for. I have no problem with judicial activism as long as it's in balance and in good faith. When it's bought and paid for, I just get angry and start thinking...

    To me, the dead give-away that spin is the point is the relative proportion of manipulative language. I tend not to click on links unless I'm interested in or know something about the subject under...

    We are criticizing commentary because it's not just-the-facts reporting? Really? It's like criticizing apples because they're not oranges. As for Russian collusion ... has anyone here read the...

    heron replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Not sure what you're asking. The "who" I'm referring to are the organizations required to adopt affirmative action policies who are now off the hook. I will be interested in seeing who continues to...

    What makes a good nursing supervisor?
