  2. So your boss/manager tells you...

    Cold Stethoscope replied to mikeb123's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing home administrators are not licensed by the state? In Florida, the Long Term Care Unit of the Bureau of Health Facility Regulation licenses nursing homes. In fact, in Florida, a massage...

  3. Incompetent Supervisors

    Cold Stethoscope replied to GhostWindRider's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    As I said... It sounds to me like you have excellent grounds for a defamation lawsuit. Your former employer has no right to destroy your career, especially given that you were vindicated by a state...

  4. Soooo, I quit

    Cold Stethoscope replied to TX911's topic in General Nursing

    Ghostwindrider, it sounds to me like you have excellent grounds for a defamation lawsuit. Your former employer has no right to destroy your career, especially given that you were vindicated by a state...

  5. Have you ever lost it with a patient?

    Cold Stethoscope replied to notjustanurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Personally I don't blame anyone for losing it when victimized by abusive patients, doctors, administrators, etc., but a lot of the commenters in threads think that it's tantamount to a mortal sin to...

  6. You're Hired!: The New World Of Hiring Nurses??

    Cold Stethoscope replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    What makes you so certain that the techniques in question yield the best employees? Do you have objective data to support your seeming certainty? Or is it just a feel-good way for the employer to...

  9. Bachelors in Liberal studies ~>MSN degree???

    Cold Stethoscope replied to Spercy55's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    So, in other words, Yes, it's possible. "in 2008, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing reported 56 direct entry MSN programs."

  10. Do Not Work Off The Clock, Nurses!

    Cold Stethoscope replied to TheCommuter's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Are you seriously saying that nurses are staying overtime to do their charting (and often not getting paid for it) because they're spending all the time on their shift that they should be charting...

  11. I really dislike Blackboard...

    Cold Stethoscope replied to Always_Learning's topic in Ohio University

    I used Blackboard for a year at a large university that was having no financial problems. I corresponded a bunch of times with the IT guy in charge, and there didn't seem to be a way to fix its most...

  12. Miami Dade College (MDC) Fall 2012 Full-time/Part-time Nursing program

    Cold Stethoscope replied to mjl88's topic in Florida Nursing

    There is no "on-line" option for nursing at MDC. In full time, classes fall between 8 am (start) and near 6 pm (end); off-site clinicals generally start at 7 am. Aside from that, classes have a habit...

  13. Continue to Beware of MEDCEU.com

    Cold Stethoscope replied to norma_njm's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    BBB Business Review for MedCEU (They got an F for not responding to 39 complaints.) Warning about MEDCEU!! Complaint Review: MecCEU.com

  14. Not even a word of English

    Cold Stethoscope replied to MomRN0913's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What is the language of this country? It's "defined" by the population that lives here, and it's not uniform. There is no law that defines it, other than that certain for-the-public government forms...

  15. Not even a word of English

    Cold Stethoscope replied to MomRN0913's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What exactly is this "American culture" that I've heard so much about? Is the culture of Boston closer to Toronto or Paris than it is of a small town in Alabama? During the 2008 presidential campaign,...

  16. Comparing A Nurses' Salary

    Cold Stethoscope replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    "The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports employment among Registered Nurses will grow faster than the average for all occupations through 2018." And how rapidly is the number of new nursing grads...

  17. Narcotics administration

    Cold Stethoscope replied to schoolmack's topic in Patient Medications

    Really? Then I don't see how you can ethically remain as their nurse. Once you're addicted, it's a choice? That raises some interesting questions about free will. Biology is not best understood...

  18. Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP): My Personal Pro's and Con's

    Cold Stethoscope replied to Corey Narry's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    By the way, now there are not only combined MD/MPH programs. Now there are also combined MD/MBA

  19. Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP): My Personal Pro's and Con's

    Cold Stethoscope replied to Corey Narry's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm familiar with the Executive MBA program at the University of Chicago by proxy. My friend completed the program, and her classmates were mostly executives from large eastern and midwestern...

  20. Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP): My Personal Pro's and Con's

    Cold Stethoscope replied to Corey Narry's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    CraigB — great post. The only quibble I have is that some PAs really would like to be more independent, and one MD student blamed their lack of independence on the successful efforts of nursing...

  21. How do you store your stethoscope?

    Cold Stethoscope replied to BAMcDan's topic in General Students

    In Florida (and probably most or all other states) it is illegal to drive with things dangling from your rear view mirror. As a precision instrument, baking a stethoscope in a hot parked car will...

  22. Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP): My Personal Pro's and Con's

    Cold Stethoscope replied to Corey Narry's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think in California you need 2000 hours of clinical experience. In Florida I don't know if there is any specific requirement, though one school that offers the AS in PA wants you to have a few...

  23. Miami Dade College (MDC) Fall 2012 Full-time/Part-time Nursing program

    Cold Stethoscope replied to mjl88's topic in Florida Nursing

    3.6 GPA in sciences is okay, but a TEAS V score of over 90 is awesome. If you don't get in on that, I'll eat my hat. A 77 on the TEAS V is certainly above average. It doesn't matter how you do in...

  24. Why are Nurses so mean to each other?

    Cold Stethoscope replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Triquee, do you have me confused with a site administrator? If I tell you to watch your speed at 9th and Main because there's a speed trap set up there, would you construe that as a veiled threat? Odd...

  25. Why are Nurses so mean to each other?

    Cold Stethoscope replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "I know the difference between being cruel or unkind, and giving sound realistic advice because I am not a moron." Here in Lake Wobegon, where all the kids are above average....and have flawless...
