  1. My own family is the PITA in the hospital

    mushyrn replied to Dances with wool's topic in General Nursing

    I would put my foot down as a parent and tell my kids how it is. I would stick up for my fellow nurses. Haha. If I ever have a kid, I hope I get to see them act like this. It wouldn't happen...

  2. Nurses don't do their 3 med checks?

    mushyrn replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I check the medication packets for each pill, mostly as I pull them from the Pyxis and always as I'm scanning them at the bedside. If you have 50 pills to pull, checking every packet both...

  3. Patient Complained I got a written final notice...

    mushyrn replied to mommyof2grlz's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely need to know what the complaint was. Also, your boss is not a nurse? They don't understand it, anyway, then. I'd find a new job. Your job sounds like it sucks and I personally...

  4. Should nurses be able to listen to music at work?

    mushyrn replied to RockinNurse2018's topic in General Nursing

    God forbid a nurse plays music like a physician, surgeon, plumber, pharmacist, fast food worker, etc... would. Angels don't play music, right? Back to a state of reality, I have no issue with...

  5. OCNRN63

    mushyrn replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    So

  6. Why all the drama with nursing?

    mushyrn replied to dogmom2016's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, the moment my manager started yelling at me, I would've hung up on the

  7. Beyond Bedside? Advanced Practice? Really?

    mushyrn replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, there are plenty of nurses who never touch a patient. To equate nursing with cleaning incontinence and inserting feeding tubes is an insult, really. Nurses are more than task managers....

  8. What are some of the "easier" NP programs to get accepted to?

    mushyrn replied to brinksta's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Oh dear, this question makes me so sad, and makes me question finishing my current ACNP program (brick and mortar, no less!). This is like asking "what's the easiest med/law/engineering school I can...

  9. NP program with low gpa

    mushyrn replied to SchoolRN2018's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I won't comment on how unfortunate it is that graduate nursing programs would accept a GPA In graduate school, less than a B is failing, just so you

  10. Many nurses do not chart?

    mushyrn replied to Guest716906's topic in General Nursing

    I feel this is more related to you "over-charting". I am always finished charting by 6:30 before shift change. I also try to chart as I go, which is generally feasible. If it's a particularly busy...

  11. PTO use

    mushyrn replied to sadpandaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, your workplaces suck - it's amazing you let them do that to you. If I have PTO I'm taking off whatever day I want to for vacation. Haha. Find someone.

  12. What is your opinion on calling in "sick"

    mushyrn replied to Goofaroo's topic in General Nursing

    Easy fix: don't stay late. "Here's what I've done, here's what is left...

  13. Almond milk

    mushyrn replied to scuba nurse's topic in School

    Milk isn't necessary for good health at all - it's amazing what the dairy industry has cemented into peoples' minds about milk and

  14. What happened to all the Walden Haters?

    mushyrn replied to Mark Hill BSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    ranaesx4, if you are confused by an admissions question, you may want to reconsider a career as a nurse practitioner/healthcare provider.

  15. What happened to all the Walden Haters?

    mushyrn replied to Mark Hill BSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I mean, that's great for you, but as said before, the amount of money you make doesn't show how good of a clinician you are. These online, for profit schools are degrading to the profession, as they...

  16. Fired from my first RN job after only 2 weeks.

    mushyrn replied to Mountainrnbsn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    While I can appreciate your lack of grammar skills, I will have to disagree with your opinion that new graduates are "spoiled" these days. Why wouldn't you want new graduates to have a lengthy, well...

  17. Patient's "right" to abuse nurses...I need your opinion

    mushyrn replied to MsNewbee's topic in General Nursing

    No. No. She has zero rights to abuse you. The person who was hit by her should be filing charges against her with the police. And you should never take a patient downstairs to smoke, leaving your...

  18. BSN is a joke

    mushyrn replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed 100 percent. It is literally near painful to read. If you do not want to be educated, don't be a nurse. Plenty of healthcare options don't require a

  19. BSN is a joke

    mushyrn replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Also, let me just point out - hopefully getting a Bachelors degree will improve the writing of many of the nurses I see. Nurses SUCK at writing, even if English is their primary language. Some of...

  20. BSN is a joke

    mushyrn replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    I think that's my point, unless I'm missing yours. Associates degree does not often equal a professional level of education/work. If nurses do not wish to be considered professionals - fine, let the...

  21. BSN is a joke

    mushyrn replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses who degrade advanced education are the joke, in my honest opinion. That being said, I also find it pointless for hospitals to REQUIRE a BSN to work - however, all nurses should want to...

  22. omg I forgot to give report!

    mushyrn replied to kellicutshair's topic in General Nursing

    This has always been a fear of mine. Haha. As long as you called and gave your report, you should be fine. ER calls report via phone all of the time, why can't

  23. Demoted from ICU to IMCU

    mushyrn replied to TiffanyB1313's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, you considering the step-down unit as a demotion is setting this off on the wrong foot, in so many ways. ICU is not the top of the nursing ladder. It is just another area for nurses to train...

  24. Verbally abusive patient, worried I could have handled the situation better

    mushyrn replied to NurseMom2016's topic in General Nursing

    Really, I probably would've just given him the coffee, as long as he remained nice to me. But since you took the long road (which I'm totally for, too), once he started pushing his table at me and...

  25. Is this Facebook status Hipaa compliant?

    mushyrn replied to musicmouse44's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    An adult would
