  3. Childhood Obesity: Breaking the Cycle

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to cynboys's topic in Patient Education

    I claimed physical activity, not ability ( it just was a typo, sorry for the confusion) And being indoors pretty much leads to less physical activity, than going outside and playing. We don't need a...

  10. New grad in Miami

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Mir16's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  12. Calling yourself an RN

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The rule is there but I am pretty sure is not that enforceable. That is why actual nurses should be self policing for these behaviors and correcting them since is a law put in place to protect our...

  14. Calling yourself an RN

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I remember there was one wacky State out there, and i seem to have found it lol. But nonetheless they still had to go through the formal education , so in a way still counts

  15. Calling yourself an RN

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh wow that is more strict that i would have though. Technically a LPN is a nurse so i don't know why be so harsh with them. They do study their fare share too and have good preparation. But I guess...

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  18. Calling yourself an RN

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wait, doesn't the physician has to pass the USME (or something like that) in order to obtain licensure too? Isn't the MD the RN equivalent for

  19. Calling yourself an RN

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It probably is a cultural thing in Puerto Rico. Hispanic cultures tend to be more protective and respectful of earned titles. I am voicing this from experience, lived in several latin american...

  20. Calling yourself an RN

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am not that familiar with all states, but i find it good that even the designation "nurse" is protected. This should spread to a nationally protected title for the sake of patient

  21. Who is working under my license?

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to spacemonkey's topic in General Nursing

    Well is kind of the same thing at the end, even if technically is not. When you delegate you are supposed to make sure that it was done correctly ( whats the point of delegating then). What i...

  22. Calling yourself an RN

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to spacemonkey's topic in General Nursing

  24. Calling yourself an RN

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It is illegal to say you are a bar licensed lawyer if you didn't pass the bar. Illegal as if you can get jail time for doing so. The same thing for claiming to be a physician, those are protected...

  25. Calling yourself an RN

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
