    auditing call lights?

    I got fired today...

    Ntheboat2 replied to patrickh_rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I didn't read every single post so this may have already been said, and I might be way off... But...is there a language barrier issue involved here? Some of the things I read made me say, "huh?" So, I...

    BSN as entry into practice; why we decided against it.

    Ntheboat2 replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Just because I agree with the fact that there is and will be a shortage of nursing faculty (because, well...it's true) doesn't mean I have to agree with every post that the initial member who posed...

    BSN as entry into practice; why we decided against it.

    Ntheboat2 replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You'd have better luck teaching a pig to sing than you would with finding a post where I ever said bedside nurses should have a master's degree. That's for sure. You know, it's really ridiculous that...

    BSN as entry into practice; why we decided against it.

    Ntheboat2 replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You obviously have some poster's names confused because I have not once in my life said that bedside nurses need a master's degree. Either that, or you are having trouble with the comprehension piece...

    Ntheboat2 replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I said, "they could pay someone much less to do JUST THAT." You may want to take your own advice on reading comprehension. The keyword in that sentence was "just." Here's your sticker. Oh yeah,...

    feels awesome to be up here

    Ntheboat2 replied to CYoungLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think it differs state to state. Where I live, most everyone pays a fee to be able to call and get results over the phone. You can also check to BON site and keep typing in your info compulsively to...

    Ntheboat2 replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    When have I EVER (ever, ever) said anything about floor nurses needing a master's degree?? The only conversation that I participated in about a master's degree was speaking about nursing faculty. You...

    Ntheboat2 replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Ohhh...okay, so you make assumptions but I'm not supposed to? I'm surprised that a nurse would even read that statement as saying, "nurses don't wipe butts." What I was actually saying is (and it...

    "I'm too young for a living will"

    Ntheboat2 replied to somenurse's topic in General Nursing

    In my state you just choose whether or not you want to be an organ donor when you get your driver's license. Is it not like that everywhere? The back of my license has a blurb about being an organ...

    Be kind to nurses... we choose the size of your IV

    Ntheboat2 replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    I'm surprised that anyone would take this seriously or offensive. It's CLEARLY meant to be a joke. I find humor in it and I actually HATE even giving injections. I mean, I'll do it and I can do it...

    Should Healthcare Be Funded As A Basic Human Right?

    Ntheboat2 replied to jayp's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Don't you realize that's been my argument in support of "Obamacare" the entire time? People who don't work already have insurance via Medicaid. It's people who are WORKING that don't have health...

    Ntheboat2 replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You're the one that has to be excused because you're so intent on having an ADN/BSN debate that you can't think clearly about the topic at hand. There are "too many RNs" but there are definitely NOT...

    Ntheboat2 replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Did you even read what I said? When did I ever say anything even close to, "Nurses don't wipe butts." I said it is sad if you think RN = butt wiper. Out of all the things nurses do, butt wiping is...

    Ntheboat2 replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Too many of what kind of nurses? ADN? Too many of what kind of nursing schools? ADN? There's a difference in "shortage of nurses" and "shortage of faculty." The main difference being a Master's...

    "I'm too young for a living will"

    Ntheboat2 replied to somenurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've never thought that I'm too young to having a living will. I have thought that it's something I need to do, but maybe because I'm fairly young, I always put it off until later. I was talking...

    Ntheboat2 replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think it's a shame after nurses have had to work so hard to be seen as a valuable member of the healthcare profession instead of "butt wipers" that nurses themselves would say something as...

    Should Healthcare Be Funded As A Basic Human Right?

    Ntheboat2 replied to jayp's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree. I literally listened to this girl rant about "Obamacare" and how it was going to impact working people's lifestyle (as if everyone who would benefit from Obamacare doesn't work when it's the...

    thoughts, opinions, and experiences requested. drug testing in the workplace

    Ntheboat2 replied to LisaRNsober's topic in General Nursing

    There is a hospital system in my area that does hair testing. I was surprised by that, but they do. I assume for the reasons you stated...people can put off testing or get lucky and pass a test if...

    I need some advice from Nurses

    Ntheboat2 replied to Ivgotsunshine22's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It's really only a choice you can make, and yes there are lots of new grads having trouble finding jobs, but that's not always the case. I had several interviews and several job offers before...

    Could I sue my former Nursing School??

    Ntheboat2 replied to Nurse878's topic in General Students

    So, are you a nurse? Your name suggests you are which is odd if you're not... People actually do sue when people use the title "nurse" when they aren't one. I dunno, but if they ever drop the college...

    Could I sue my former Nursing School??

    Ntheboat2 replied to Nurse878's topic in General Students

    I doubt you can sue, but I'm not a lawyer, and that's just my personal opinion. You know how marijuana is legal in some states now and people who possess it and/or smoke it won't be charged? Well, all...

    Dear Nursing Students/Orientees: A Love Note from the Preceptor from Hell

    Ntheboat2 replied to CheesePotato's topic in General Students

    You did say in your post that you know it may not apply to "our" exact set of circumstances. That didn't go unnoticed. I was just saying, in my opinion, most of the things you mentioned would be...
