    My CRNA friends do illegal drugs

    nurse4theplanet replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I stand corrected...on that issue alone. However, it is illegal today. Therefore, my overall argument has not changed. Thank you for the valuable information! Would you also mind posting a link, so...

    This is a VENTING Post!

    nurse4theplanet replied to scribblerpnp's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It sounds to me like they are pushing their limits with you...walking the line to see how much they can get away with. I would definitely confront this student with this issue, making it clear to her...

    My CRNA friends do illegal drugs

    nurse4theplanet replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    A clear cut answer to what to do in this situation! If this behavior was acceptable, then there would be no reason for this website. The organization recognizes the need to assist those CRNAs with...

    "Just" a 2-year degree

    nurse4theplanet replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    Nor would I, but if someone dismissed my degree as "just a 2 year" degree then I would be quick to re-educate them on the reality of what it takes to obtain an associate's degree in

    "Just" a 2-year degree

    nurse4theplanet replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    Her comment refers to the fact that most ADN programs take more than just 2 years to complete. If you took all the nursing classes and pre-req's at the same time you could finish in two years...but...

    Planning our future and outsourcing

    nurse4theplanet replied to Mudwoman's topic in General Nursing

    At a local level, this may be effective. However, at a federal level...not simple at all. Too many interests involved. If you want YOUR law passed, you have to agree to other laws being passed which...

    Planning our future and outsourcing

    nurse4theplanet replied to Mudwoman's topic in General Nursing

    Do you believe so? I would think that the nurses at 'the top' would be the cream of the crop, but your floor nurses would be 'cheap labor'...nurses willing to work for the lowest amount of money. It...

    Northwest Community College Nursing program

    nurse4theplanet replied to Christian Marie's topic in General Nursing

    I have taken everything except Chemistry, which I will take at the U of Mem during my RN-BSN program. I recommend that if you take Chem, you do it during the summer. Statistics is also a class that...

    My CRNA friends do illegal drugs

    nurse4theplanet replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I never implied that one should turn their back without first intervening to hold that person accountable for their own actions and consequences. I made it very clear within my posts throughout this...

    upset about title

    nurse4theplanet posted a topic in General Nursing

    I recently took a job at a local hospital as an intern and spoke with a new grad who told me that her title for her first year (as stated on her name badge) is not RN, but CNR-clinical nurse resident....

    nurse4theplanet replied to angie24's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My CRNA friends do illegal drugs

    nurse4theplanet replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It seems one has two choices: making said persons accountable or enabling the behavior. Not wanting to report illegal illicit drug use by a licensed professional, a direct violation of that licensure,...

    Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

    nurse4theplanet replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    i was on a website earlier geared at training new MDs in the art of physical assessment, and in one particular paragraph it stated something to the effect: Be aware that you will feel awkward when...

    upset about title

    nurse4theplanet replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

    This new grad as I referred to her in the original post, had just passed boards. She was pretty upset that she was being referred to as a CNR rather than an RN, which lead me to my...

    No Chemistry?

    nurse4theplanet replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This is exactly why I posted this question. Thank you very much. As I stated above, I am not trying to skip out on Chemistry or 'cut corners' as you put it. And although I wish to enter this program...

    No Chemistry?

    nurse4theplanet posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The only pre-req I lack for BSN is Chem I & II. There is an RN to BSN program to which I am applying that does not require Chemistry for admission. I do not know whether you must take it during...

    "Just" a 2-year degree

    nurse4theplanet replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    THAT was stated very appropriately! I agree with you. And because of those feelings, I can completely understand why the OP was somewhat offended by the pharm tech who she perceived to be dismissing...

    nurse4theplanet replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

    I am a student, working as an intern at this facility. I am considering whether to seek employment there after graduation which is why this issue concerns me. I don't see how that was unclear. My...

    Cna Student Needs Help!!!!

    nurse4theplanet replied to angie24's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Please forgive me for my ignorance, but why do you need info on careplans if you are a CNA? In my area, only nurses do careplans. Are you in nursing school? Or are CNA programs teaching their...

    "Just" a 2-year degree

    Northwest Community College Nursing program

    nurse4theplanet replied to Christian Marie's topic in General Nursing

    It is a very difficult program, like most nursing programs. You definitely will spend alot of time studying, especially in the beginning. It doesn't get "easier" as you go along, which is what...

    Great Nursing Magazines!

    nurse4theplanet posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am looking for suggestions for great nursing magazines! Subscriptions are so pricey, sometimes $6.50/issue, so I want something that will be well worth the money. Since I will be a new grad, I am...
