    Crusty Old Bats

    Salisburysteak replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    I was a CNA in the early 1990s so here is what I remember *Taking manual vital signs plus shaking all thermometers down at the end of our shift. We would wash them with soap and water; then they...

    Shady Nursing Schools

    Salisburysteak replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this to a point. I have noticed that many perspective nursing students do not want to wait to get their nursing degrees. They want it sooner and tnhese schools promise quick results. They...

    Has anyone ever had a supervisor leave and then go work for them elsewhere?

    Salisburysteak replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I have done it twice. It is NOT awkward at all. I followed a DON to another facility. It was a great job, and we were both much happier there. I followed a supervisor to another facility. We worked...

    Wrong Department?

    Salisburysteak replied to NNF2015's topic in General Nursing

    Tell me you do not know how to be a manager without telling me you do not know how to be a manager ? What a horrible situation for you. I am getting ready to start a new position also. I am gping...

    Is it appropriate to "show off" that you are a Nurse on social media?

    Salisburysteak replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I believe it comes from insecurity within themselves. I also wonder if some of these people are looking for likes, and want to be influencers on social media. I don't know. I am glad I am not the only...

    Is it appropriate to "show off" that you are a Nurse on social media?

    Salisburysteak replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    The student nurses I understand. They are giddy and excited about Nursing School; however, I find some of my nurse FB friends post a little annoying especially when all they post is nurse related...

    What should I wear to pick up paperwork on my day off?

    Salisburysteak replied to medapop's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly! my boss came in after hours a couple of times. She was in yoga pants and a t-shirt. Stop over thinking and wear what you normally wear. Of course do not look like a slob

    What are they teaching?

    Salisburysteak replied to egglady's topic in General Nursing

    I think what the other poster was stating about APA format is that it is the focus of many Nursing classes. From reading your previous posts you are not in the US and US Nursing Schools are focusing...

    CNA 11 Years need your help

    Salisburysteak replied to L.P.CNA's topic in General Nursing

    Does not matter. Boundaries! Boundaries! Boundaries! When a patient/resident leaves a facility your relationship with them is terminated. You can be an empathetic and a comassionate caregiver without...

    Stop Hating on Psych Nurses

    Salisburysteak replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Bless you for doing Psych! That is one area I cannot do. This is why nurses are needed everywhere. One specialty is not better than another. As a previous poster has stated--it is their problem not...

    ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    Salisburysteak replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

    You are so misguided in how CC work. I went to a CC and my professors were ALL DNPs. We had one MSN educator and she was in the process of getting her DNP. Crazy isn't it. BSN prepared nurses CANNOT...

    ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    Salisburysteak replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

    Do you know what the grading scale is for the so-called less than worthy Community College? This level of arrogance that makes veteran nurses have disdain for new grads. When you graduate your...

    ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    Salisburysteak replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

    My oh my oh my!! Exactly what basis are you gauging this on. Have you even gone to a Community College? You will be prepared for Nursing no different than an ADN prepared nurse. This level of...

    ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    Salisburysteak replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

    Oh boy! OP, you are opening a Pandora’s Box that needs to stay closed! An ADN is an RN and a BSN is an RN. Graduates of both programs take the same NCLEX-RN. There is no different NCLEX for the...

    Nurse performs a nursing action off the clock. What are the repercussions?

    Salisburysteak replied to guest1110906's topic in General Nursing

    You have received several plausible answers; however, your responses to those posters come off as immature and unprofessional! I believe you felt slighted because the nurse might have undermined...

    Discouraged

    Salisburysteak replied to Lookaliveforonce's topic in General Nursing

    Working in the hospital is NOT an end all , be all of Nursing. Nurses are needed everywhere! There is absolutely nothing wrong with working in a long-term care facility. Me thinks you bought into the...

    Will an LVN, RN, or BSN route open up more opportunities for working outside of bedside?

    Salisburysteak replied to Aprilj09's topic in General Nursing

    Since you want to serve underserved people, maybe becoming a Social Worker would fulfill your career goals better. Rarely, RNs that graduate go right into a desk job. An RN will need bedside...

    Why are some RNs rarely busy, while others are always busy

    Disrespect & Profanity

    Salisburysteak replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I believe all workplaces have a “Clark”, and that can really drain workplace morale. I do address the patients with Mr/Mrs/Miss. it is just the right thing to do and if the patient says otherwise...

    Arizona College

    Salisburysteak replied to ronda919's topic in Nevada Nursing

    CSN has no waiting lists for their ADN program. It is limited-entry which means you have to apply to the program. There are pre-read that need to be completed though. CSN will give you a great nursing...

    Depressed and Frustrated

    Salisburysteak replied to mollynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree! I work in one and, we do a lot of the same tasks/ treatments an acute care hospital does. LTACH is a great way to get nursing experience. There is more than just Kindred. Kindred has it...
