  1. Phasing Out ADN?

    Tommy5677 replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    Then it's intentionally

  2. Phasing Out ADN?

    Tommy5677 replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    With regards to better patient outcomes with BSN's, if the University of Penn has a BSN program with associated hospitals, that is not objective, independent research. Please try

  3. Phasing Out ADN?

    Tommy5677 replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    On some levels I get it. Professionalism being one of them. However, I believe the way nursing is going about it is a fools game, just as I believe phasing out diplomas was a huge mistake. I still...

  4. Why Hospitals Don't Value Nurses: A Nurse's Perspective

    Tommy5677 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Makes me glad I'm on the verge of retirement and that I don't work in a hospital. Now the AHA is attempting to cap nurse salaries while CEO salaries and for profit hospital profits continue to soar....

  5. Fired. How To Get Over It.

    Tommy5677 replied to rninformatics's topic in Nursing Career

    It was obviously an act of malice. It's sounds like you're gaslighting

  6. FNP to PMHNP--Is it Better?

    Tommy5677 replied to raycna's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I actually work for a psyciatric NP and love it. I can't speak from the perspective of a NP but I can tell you how it works for her. Keep in mind that she is an independent, not part of a group....

  7. Fired. How To Get Over It.

    Tommy5677 replied to rninformatics's topic in Nursing Career

    The first thing I would want to know is was reporting you to the board an act of malice because if it was, you may have grounds for a law suit. You should consider that. A lawyer will only take your...

  8. Illinois Nurses Speak Out for Patient Safety: Hospital Retaliates

    Tommy5677 replied to Doris Carroll's topic in General Nursing

    I know this doesn't have a lot to do directly with the topic here but it kind of does so I'm going to state it here anyway. I recently watched both Netflix shows on the Charlie Cullen incident:...

  9. Illinois Nurses Speak Out for Patient Safety: Hospital Retaliates

    Tommy5677 replied to Doris Carroll's topic in General Nursing

    When it comes to an understaffed nursing department and patient safety, where are the boards of nursing in this? Oh wait, they're all about punishing nurses for things that happen as a result of...

  10. Illinois Nurses Speak Out for Patient Safety: Hospital Retaliates

    Tommy5677 replied to Doris Carroll's topic in General Nursing

    Boards of nursing are the ones who should be going after the hospitals. Afterall, their priority is patient safety and I'm saying that loosely. They often go after nurses that don't deserve it and I...

  11. Regretting My Decision To Be An NP

    Tommy5677 replied to Rbew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you want to continue practicing as a NP, I would recommend moving to a state with full independent practice. I believe there are 25 plus DC. There ya have

  12. Patients allowed to go outside and smoke???

    Tommy5677 replied to JackiRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Absolutely not. Most hospitals now are smoke free on the ENTIRE

  13. This Guy's Take on How to Fix the Nursing Shortage Temporarily

    Tommy5677 replied to Red Shirt 6's topic in General Nursing

    My career is winding down now as I enter semiretirement and pursue new endeavors. I must admit though that nursing in general has left a bitter taste in my mouth. Let's start a list: 1. Who...

  14. How to handle unhealthy work environment?

    Tommy5677 replied to angelsigns's topic in Nursing Career

    You Quit. That's

  15. Frustrated with Hospital Disregard for RN and Patient Safety

    Tommy5677 replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    I read an article on Raw Story, yes, it's a legit news outlet, that a judge in Wisconsin, a right to work state, issued an injunction that nurses can't quit their job without notice to go somewhere...

  16. Does the shot mess with your DNA?

    Tommy5677 replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's really hard to believe that any nurse would ask this question. Why don't you ask Olivia Guidry, RN, BSN, Lafayette, LA, the antivax big mouth who jeopardized the safety of her patients. She went...

  17. Termination From Employer For Refusing EUV

    Tommy5677 replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You're nothing but another ignorant antivaxxer and your employer is within their legal right to require it and fire you if you don't. I know. I've done the research. The last place an antivaxxer nurse...

  18. Manager Audited Narc Drawer Without Witness; Fired Me for ‘Missing’ Norco

    Tommy5677 replied to Floridababe's topic in General Nursing

    So if she fired you for a missing narcotic, did she report you to the board because I believe that's mandatory? If she didn't then I smell a rat. Get an attorney and make her prove it. If she...

  19. ADN or BSN?

    Tommy5677 replied to Unsuregirl101's topic in General Nursing

    When I did my ADN the Summer term was 8 semester hours in 8 weeks and it was 2 semesters of psych nursing. One admonishment of sorts to leave you with. Please get over the notion that ADN programs are...

  20. ADN or BSN?

    Tommy5677 replied to Unsuregirl101's topic in General Nursing

    I know that things have changed a lot since I went to nursing school but for anyone who thinks an ADN program is somehow slower or easier, you are very much mistaken. My first semester in an ADN...

  21. Medication Error in School

    Tommy5677 replied to uofanurse's topic in School

    Does that include

  22. Does the shot mess with your DNA?

    Tommy5677 replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This isn't a very scientific response but I listen to ZDoggMD on facebook. Hey, he's a real doctor with real credentials and he knows what he's talking about. Check him

  23. COVID vaccine given way too low in the arm

    Tommy5677 replied to SN2751's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There's really no excuse for this. As far as I know IM injections in the arm are always given in the deltoid and there is a very simple method for demarcation that you can find on Youtube. If a nurse...

  24. Medication Error in School

    Tommy5677 replied to uofanurse's topic in School

    New URL. Call them.

  25. Hospital nursing school vs community college nursing school

    Tommy5677 replied to Naomi M's topic in School, College Programs

    Nursing school is a gruel no matter what program you choose. To say an ADN program at the community college level is more relaxed is a ridiculous notion and I’m willing to bet the nurse posting that...
