  1. Bargain Basement Computer Systems

    nynursey_ replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Agree! We use an incredibly outdated system over paying for a less complicated, more user friendly one. Even though competing hospitals have already adopted it. Instead, we spend money building more...

  2. Firearms

    nynursey_ replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    Do not carry. No permit. No desire to. And am strongly for stricter gun control

  3. No Longer a Fan

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I think in my following posts I did an adequate job of explaining who they are. Edit: And not to mention, it never occurred to me that anyone would be that in the dark. I made the assumption...

  4. No Longer a Fan

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Like I said, I think the letdown comes from the disappointment in seeing that rather than using her pseudofame to talk about nurse to patient ratios, nurse violence (both patient mediated and nurse to...

  5. No Longer a Fan

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I find her book silly. Granted, I've only read excerpts, but her "nurse tips and tricks" are nothing special. I commend her for having the gumption to write a book about her first year of nursing, but...

  6. No Longer a Fan

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    She's more prevalent on social media now that she's no longer a part of NY ER. Especially now that it's no longer on the air. As far as Kati Kleber, she only is and has ever been, present on social...

  7. No Longer a Fan

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Precisely. I'm an ASN and I'm employed in one of the state's largest Level 1 trauma hospitals, which is also a teaching hospital. When I presented this information to her, her rebuttal was to ask when...

  8. No Longer a Fan

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Right. It isn't necessarily that she did anything majorly wrong. I think it's more that she's becoming less relatable for bedside nurses. Her entire platform was built on her being an RN, like the...

    Yes, ma'am. Went on to work at another hospital. And become an

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Correct. And it thrust Katie Duke into the spotlight. And for awhile, she did a good job representing nurses. But lately .. crash and

    I can't give you a link that tells the whole story, but Google both names. You'll get a good

  14. The Nurse on the Other Side

    nynursey_ replied to sheilagood52's topic in General Nursing

    While I think this is true for the most part, I have found that having patients as nurses (in some cases) can be nerve wracking if the patient in question is quite particular. You know the sort. Their...

  15. The Nurse on the Other Side

    nynursey_ replied to sheilagood52's topic in General Nursing

    Not just nurses, but also physicians. I had a patient go into cardiac arrest. At some point during the code, a phone call was made to her daughter, who is an RN. Details aside, the physician turned to...

  16. Tired of the Stethoscope, Now more!

    nynursey_ replied to Flyboy17's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't have the chance to see it, but I feel it was a bit excessive. What was said was said. It garnered the attention and support it deserved. And now it's time to move forward feeling satisfied...

  17. The Stethoscope

    nynursey_ replied to Flyboy17's topic in General Nursing

    I can't be over hearing about The View debacle because it was an ignorant segment that should have never been aired. On top of insulting the nursing profession they also picked apart several other...

  18. Brian Short News

    nynursey_ replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I feel extremely saddened for the lives of those three children cut abruptly in such a sudden, horrific manner. And Short's wife, who also had her life taken so tragically. No one should ever have to...

  20. SUNY Upstate Medical & RN Licensure?

    nynursey_ posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hi, all. :) I'm about to start my second, and final year, of nursing school in an ADN program at Fulton-Montgomery Community College. My plan, and ultimate goal, is to apply to SUNY Upstate Medical...

  22. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    nynursey_ replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    To that point, foreign nurses that speak their native language in front of US nurses. We have a PCA and an RN on our unit both from Ghana. When they speak to each other, it's never in English, and...

  23. Late arriving Nurses

    nynursey_ replied to Goal_NP's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Day shift? I see this more among evenings/nights. If they're not late then they're stalking you as you're trying to pull a few last minute things together even if you're habitually easy to give report...

  24. Any confirmation on this doozy?

    nynursey_ replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    I believe in order for a state to refuse to renew a nursing license due to educational requirements, it would need to change its licensure requirements via the

    nynursey_ replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    1. Even if the physician thinks a patient has time to decide about code status, they don't. It is perfectly appropriate to nag a physician into addressing code status right then and there, because the...
