  1. Jane Doe, RN, AAS, BSN, MSN, CCRN BFD

    nynursey_ replied to Oceanpacific's topic in General Nursing

    I believe the entry-level title is also only used if the RN is a BSN holder. At my facility, ASN RNs are not permitted to place ASN on their badge. As HR says, "We only recognize BSN as a

  2. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I agree that advanced knowledge and strong motivation are neccesities for such programs. I will say, however, that while I was in my first year of nursing school, learning the in's and out's of...

  3. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, Susie! I 100% agree with you. I should have clarified in my post that when I said "not law" I was referring to the orders made by a physician. If they're inappropriate or require clarification...

  4. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Regardless of the value you place on those decisions, they are still yours to make. That's my

  5. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    2, 5, or 10 years isn't going to make the difference between my ability to recognize my autonomy in certain situations. I'm not talking about my medical autonomy--clearly I have none. Nor am I...

  6. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I'm not so sure why you think autonomy equates to being the life saver in any given situation. It's rather sad that nursing autonomy is so often

  7. Jane Doe, RN, AAS, BSN, MSN, CCRN BFD

    nynursey_ replied to Oceanpacific's topic in General Nursing

    I completely understand maintaining the RN credential as part of practicing as an ARNP ... I just feel that utilizing it in a title or in a sign off is not only excessive but rather confusing. RN .....

  8. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry that you had such an awful experience. It's frustrating when physicians aren't willing to get out of their own way and listen with a careful ear. That said, even when a physician refuses...

  9. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    While nurses are not the ultimate decision makers, there is an "R" in SBAR indicating that RN's can and do make recommendations to prescribers, which often can result in improved, if not live-saving,...

  10. I give in, I'm a COB

    nynursey_ replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    My 2 years in definitely does not certify me. But it's an aspiration of mine, of

  11. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure if it's that few people have the ability to comprehend the level of abstract thinking that goes into being a physicist or whether it is that few people have the interest level and...

  12. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    We have a "glut" of new graduates because there is definitely NO shortage in nursing schools, all with a varying degree of requirements for admission/continuance in the program. And what of the new...

  13. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I reiterate again that a level of difficulty is purely subjective. What is difficult for one is not difficult for another and vice versa. Nursing has its own set of difficulties beyond the sheer...

  14. Am I the only one that's done this?

    nynursey_ replied to Trama_junky's topic in General Nursing

    Not at all. A friend of mine Snapchatted his attempt at starting an IV on himself for a fluid bolus after a night of heavy drinking. His bathroom looked like a murder scene. I think I rest my

  15. Why don't you just read the chart?

    nynursey_ replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Here's the thing: I do read the chart. But there's a great deal, as a floor nurse, that I need to know prior to the patient's arrival that the chart just doesn't tell me. When I take report, I'm...

  16. Jane Doe, RN, AAS, BSN, MSN, CCRN BFD

    nynursey_ replied to Oceanpacific's topic in General Nursing

    I'm always perplexed by the NP's in our hospital that are utilizing this as their moniker: Jane Doe, RN, BSN, MSN, FNP-BC Why include the RN? Clearly you are/were a registered nurse, but at this...

  17. I give in, I'm a COB

    nynursey_ replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I was just thinking about this the other day. As I left my unit I wondered why I was so annoyed by the new graduates ... And I'm only 2 years in. But seriously. It's a hard lesson to learn...

  18. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I respectfully disagree. I had earned three college degrees prior to nursing school and I found it extremely stressful and

  19. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps the most irritating point of all. How can those comments come from real life actual nurses? Are they asleep at the wheel of their job on a daily

  20. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    That's a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing! I feel I'm thanked far more than not thanked. And not just by the patient but family members and others involved in the multidisciplinary team. Not...

  21. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Engingeering, like most hard sciences, is difficult. But, again, like many of the author's points, what's "harder" or "more difficult" to learn is subjective. There is no qualitative way to measure...

  22. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    That was perhaps the comment I had the most difficulty with. "Well compensated" is subjective and depends upon a variety of factors, but I assure you, if fast food workers are pushing to make $15/hr...

  23. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I felt the same way you do. I couldn't even begin to address all of the things wrong with that article. And then the person who posted it added a comment stating "Good perspective. More nurses need to...

  24. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I agree that the "thankless job" claims get old very quickly. In my opinion, part of the reward that comes from nursing is internally, and I think that many nurses would be served well to remember...

  25. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Said too much? In what context? Does this mean you agree or disagree? I'm not following your
