  1. Stop Hating on Psych Nurses

    Uroboros replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    You're absolutely right all areas of nursing are important. And as you're finding many make too light of the subject too often. These are often individuals who have not found their place in this...

  2. How do you do lab work on patients while maintaining social distancing?

    Uroboros replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What's your definition of nosocomial

  3. New Grad starting during COVID advice?

    Uroboros replied to Lizon's topic in Disaster Preparation

    To be a new grad getting hired so quickly after taking your exam, and during crisis COVID while amidst national furloughs and layoffs speaks volumes about you. The employer must see real potential or...

  4. ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    Uroboros replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

    I find this mindset interesting to say the least as well. So you were around to wear a paper hat, stand in salute while holding the physician's ash tray thirty years ago, and that somehow gives you...

  5. COVID-19 Deaths: Killed More Americans than the Vietnam War

    Uroboros replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And I don't have space or time to give you a lesson in semantics here, but feel free to PM me and we can set something

  6. ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    Uroboros replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting you mention education makes no difference, but immediately cite attendance for two years at a university as your qualifier. Since you also refer to nursing as a mere "gig" that pretty well...

  7. ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    Uroboros replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

    So the OP doesn't have an equal right to their opinion? One of the major differences between associate and baccalaureate coursework is clearly personal refinement. The additional course work you refer...

  8. ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    Uroboros replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

    WOW!. What an admirable and well thought out response. If you have anything intelligent to share please enlighten the rest of

  9. ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    Uroboros replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

    The real question is what separates a profession from simple trades? Is nursing a trade? Is it an "on the job" or "learn as you go" field? Or is it a science? An art? And without a doubt any of you...

  10. Finding a job with pending accusation

    Uroboros replied to aspirationpneumonia's topic in General Nursing

    Healthscare oversight entities like the BON bring whole new meaning to: "Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat" (the burden of proof is on the one who declares, not on one who denies) Seems...

  11. COVID-19 Deaths: Killed More Americans than the Vietnam War

    Uroboros replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If those four words were all you took away from the four paragraphs I'd encourage you to read more carefully again. Axiomatic satire is challenging but a lot of fun to write. Sure 20% sounds like a...

  12. COVID-19 Deaths: Killed More Americans than the Vietnam War

    Uroboros replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The 20th century was the most deadly alone, killing more people worldwide than all the others combined per numerous peer epidemiology sources. Under Stalin the Russian communist machine was...

  13. Fear and Anxiety

    Uroboros replied to spark plug's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have to say this is one of the more interesting threads currently. Gives some excellent insight to the current debates of thought among front line workers. But if we continue taking away the...

  14. Finding a job with pending accusation

    Uroboros replied to aspirationpneumonia's topic in General Nursing

    A word to the wise, I'd be cautious about posting too much personal data here. This site is not objectively monitored. Frankly I'm shocked this thread wasn't frozen long ago like Bernie, since the...

  15. Should factories continue making ventilators?

    Uroboros replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The short answer, yes. In a country where the average household has 10 smartphones we should never have a ventilator shortage, ever. There will be a second wave when seasonal flu hits this fall, and...

  16. NP Dilemma

    Uroboros replied to NPdilema's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Hopefully this close to retirement you have tapered your portfolio through conservative investments while minimizing any and all financial risk. Going from RN to APRN is risky business at any age, and...

  17. Finding a job with pending accusation

    Uroboros replied to aspirationpneumonia's topic in General Nursing

    The darkest hour is just before dawn, and believe it or not you will be thankful for this experience. As nurses we genuinely desire to maximize and teach the intrinsic value of each and every person....

  18. Negligence

    Uroboros replied to teddy2009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I find this posting a real symptom of heart-felt ignorance to site "negligence", given the litigation which almost always surrounds the word, for simple lack of perceived good mannerism. And an...

  19. Nurse Practitioner Safer than bedside nursing?

    Uroboros replied to Future MSN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Difference is when patients assault nurses at least now there is some litigation in place to protect the nurse, often allowing charges to be filed against the patient. But when nurse practitioners...

  20. Bill Approved to Limit Treatment for Transgender Youth

    Uroboros replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    What's more absurd is this issue has required multiple bills to block the malpractice for now. Most forty-year-olds are suffering an identity crisis of some variety however large or small. So you are...

  21. 9 Types of Manipulative Patients

    Uroboros replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Great post! Good psych nursing 101

  22. Nurse Practitioner- Job Outlook

    Uroboros replied to FloatFNP-C's topic in Advanced Practice

    Regardless of the litany of opinions you're getting here, ask yourself the most important question. "When I'm in court or facing a complaint with the BON (because if you do this long enough it will...

  23. Timetravel

    Uroboros replied to RN_OneDay's topic in General Nursing

    That nurses spelled backwards "ses run". "When you stare into the abyss long enough, the abyss begins to stare back."

  24. Does Being a Nurse Remove Your Constitutional Right to Free Speech? The Carolyn Strom Case.

    Uroboros replied to steven007's topic in Nursing News

    Purely another example of left-right political socialism in countries like Canada which unfortunately often get what they asked for in the end. Yes the remaining few democracies like America should...

  25. Recently terminated- being reported to state BON

    Uroboros replied to nurseinthecity11's topic in General Nursing

    1. Seek an attorney that has experience with nursing board defense cases today. The BON will conveniently only give you 10 measly days to respond. They will not give you time or have any sympathy. 2....
