  1. Hate floor nursing but reasonable to get DNP?

    Jabramac replied to inthesky's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    How much of what you don't like about nursing would be improved if you were a

  2. Its ONLY 115 outside today

    Jabramac replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    Living in MN I hate our winters, but I would rather take the MN winters then the hot summers of those further

  3. Foreign patient with greencard only staying in U.S. for 'free' medical care

    Jabramac replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    The thing people fail to see is that we already all pay for all this care. Some pay more then others, but we all pay. We pay in co-pays, taxes, we pay in by purchasing products from companies that...

  4. Noticing a trend here

    Jabramac replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    :banghead::banghead:

  5. Quick to pass judgement??

    Jabramac replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    I think when people die around us, it is human nature to try to find justification. It's a coping mechanism. When we think about the truth, that death can be very random, that people who do...

  6. Salary in the US vs salary in Sweden

    Jabramac replied to swedishnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think there must be a lot of variability that would make it hard to compare one to one. Cost of living has a huge range in the US, so just comparing one US city to another can be difficult. But...

  7. ED Volunteer

    Jabramac replied to Jason2311's topic in General Nursing

    Our ER volunteers are not allowed to participate in any activity that might expose them. Not even changing linens. They can put clean linens on a clean bed, but can't take dirty linens off or clean...

  8. Do you think there will be a nursing "draft" someday?

    Jabramac replied to marie-francoise's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting topic. In the last 5 years or so politicians have been discussing instituting the draft again (although, some congressman who have tried to push through the draft have admitted the reason...

  9. Question for ER nurses?????????????

    Jabramac replied to ValkyrieRN's topic in Emergency

    We get a bonus of $300 a year for CEN, plus we get invited to a special dinner. Aftet taking and passing the CEN test they will reimburse us the cost of it as well. No other pay for any other...

  10. Ok to take care of family as a patient?

    Jabramac replied to trmr's topic in General Nursing

    This happens once in a while in the ER I work at as it is a small town. More often then seeing family is seeing friends and neighbors. Everyone I work with understands if we need to change...

  11. Entitled Generation

    Jabramac replied to javajaydon's topic in General Nursing

    I read an article a while ago (I'v been searching to find it to post a link, but of course I can't find it again) that talked about the younger generation that is entering the work world now and how...

  12. Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences online BSN?

    Jabramac replied to LumpyLooRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I graduated before there was a service learning requirement, I think that must have come with the next round of grads. FHCHS is a Seventh Day Advitist school, but the religious componant is pretty...

  13. Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences online BSN?

    Jabramac replied to LumpyLooRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I graduated from FHCHS in April 07. I loved it. Be there no doubt, it is a lot of work, but doable. I continued to work full time and had my first child while in the program. I was sent down to...

  14. My only concern w/nursing

    Jabramac replied to BiologyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    I applaude you for considering the long term financial aspects of these careers. I think what is most important for you is to consider which job you will enjoy doing the best. Interestingly, I have...

  15. The 10 most insane medical practices in history

    Jabramac replied to NativeSundance's topic in Emergency

    Fascinating and humerous. Interestingly, though, in school I wrote a research paper on blood letting based primarily on an article written in the late 1700's by Benjamin Rush, a notable physician at...

  16. Nursing Supervisors=Telemarketers

    Jabramac replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    This part of your post is exactly why many of us don't want to talk to those trying to call us in - trying to guilt someone about how their coworkers will suffer if they don't come in is not...

  17. NA's not professionals

    Jabramac posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was the recipient of a complaint yesterday from another employee. An NA told me she had been called off before her shift and told on the phone that instead of having her work, the floor would run...

  18. NA's not professionals

    Jabramac replied to Jabramac's topic in General Nursing

    Actually I am a supervisor and it would have been either another supervisor or a staffing office person that made the call. I could have ignored this, and probably should have, but I was trying to...

  19. Nursing Supervisors=Telemarketers

    Jabramac replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I work as a sup too and I got to say I can't stand calling in extra staff. I agree, we get yelled at, snarled to, and people who are just down right mean. I know it's irritating to get calls at all...

  20. NA's not professionals

    Jabramac replied to Jabramac's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't that taking the approach again that NA's are really nurses in training and should thus understand our thought patterns? I'm not arguing either way, but I do believe that part of getting more...

  21. NA's not professionals

    Jabramac replied to Jabramac's topic in General Nursing

    I think I am getting the answer to my question. Some of our colleagues take offence at the notion that they are refered to as not being a

  22. NA's not professionals

    Jabramac replied to Jabramac's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mean to turn this into a debate about wheather nurses are professionals or not. I think the heart of the issue is whether or not it is insensitive to basically tell NA's they are not a...

  23. Moving to the UK for school

    Jabramac replied to Jabramac's topic in International Nursing

    I'm still waiting to hear back from Warwick and Lancaster, but we might be in a dilemma if all three schools accept me. The schools all sound wonderful. We will probably not have a chance to visit...

  24. Moving to the UK for school

    Jabramac posted a topic in International Nursing

    Looking for some guidance. I have decided to go back and get a masters of business administration. I have always wanted to move more into management and administration. I am also open, and even...

  25. Does your hospital give DC instructions to AMA patients

    Jabramac replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    We try to do d/c instructions on AMA pts, but not all are willing to stay that long. Some might leave as soon as they find out they are not going to get narcotics and refuse to wait for anything....
