    Finally got malpractice insurance.

    carolinapooh replied to quazar's topic in General Nursing

    Again - I spend more at Starbucks. And it's not a risk I want to take. Seriously - I don't miss $9 and some change a month. You do what you like, and I'll do what I like. I don't agree or disagree...

    Finally got malpractice insurance.

    carolinapooh replied to quazar's topic in General Nursing

    Because there's inherently more risk in getting in an accident. No need to fish - we know the answer. By the same token you have a greater risk of getting in a car wreck than you do a plane crash,...

    Yep. Nurses do "eat their young"

    carolinapooh replied to Dianna11's topic in General Nursing

    Respect for your nursing capabilities, yes. But there seems to a be a wide swath of disregard for basic respect. And when people quote ONE definition of respect (the one about esteem and high regard...

    Thank you for not being offended. I agree - that's weird. I wonder if they are formulating an agreement with another program and are waiting for the final

    carolinapooh replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously. For me it's always when you hear: "Oh, it was so quiet today..." just before report starts. Double the severity if it's a Friday or Saturday night, or a long holiday weekend. Triple if you...

    Finally got malpractice insurance.

    carolinapooh replied to quazar's topic in General Nursing

    This is my thought: no one needs insurance until they need it, be it health, life, or this sort of thing. Were it not for state law, you wouldn't need car insurance (and if your car is paid for you...

    Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    carolinapooh replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    Predicting viral shift is like predicting the weather: you can take your best guess based on the information at hand but taking along an umbrella (or in this case getting the vaccine!) is never a bad...

    BSN degree seems off topic

    carolinapooh replied to Wayne47's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    16 hours of my BSN were taken at the graduate level - including pathophysiology (most awesome course EVER), community health, and diagnostic reasoning/physical assessment, as well as nursing research...

    BSN degree seems off topic

    carolinapooh replied to Wayne47's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Unless you committed serial acts of plagiarism, you certainly wrote your "own ideas, assessments, and observations" on whatever it was you were writing about. Resurrected this old post because it...

    Their credits are unlikely to transfer. They themselves said it. Why is that so hard to believe? We've ID'd you as a likely exception and it's also possible that area schools are doing their best to...

    carolinapooh replied to tdunlap913's topic in Government, Military

    You have to be certified to make major. You don't need a master's (you do for lieutenant colonel), but you have to be certified. So ISP or not, if you want to stay in, you'll get certified. (Not all...

    Lbs to Kg conversion help!

    carolinapooh replied to Squidney's topic in General Students

    2.2 pounds to the kilo is the generally accepted conversion everywhere and all I've ever used in calculating BSA for chemotherapy or pediatric dose calculations in a peds clinic. If you use 2.2 you're...

    Dating while in nursing school?

    carolinapooh replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    Legally speaking, any continued unwanted contact is harassment. Content is irrelevant in that

    Dating while in nursing school?

    carolinapooh replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    I agree - I meant from the very first and I was speaking in a generality. We chicks have a reputation for beating around the bush, and we just shouldn't. Say what you mean. Then if they're obviously...

    Yep. Nurses do "eat their young"

    carolinapooh replied to Dianna11's topic in General Nursing

    By this line of thinking, rudeness on first meeting is allowed until respect is earned. Respect isn't just "deep admiration". It's treating someone with, well, basic respect: they are a person with...

    "NETY" and Other Fallacies

    carolinapooh replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I do agree that it's propagated by its own legend. However, there's far too much discussion for me to be that dismissive of its existence. Gotta be some fire to go with all that

    It's not an idea. They said it themselves in EVERY single TV commercial. I'm sure there are a few on YouTube still. At the bottom of the screen: "CREDITS EARNED ARE UNLIKELY TO

    You can brand me a jerk for this and I'll understand, but did you not notice the news and the reports of places like this - the difficulty in credit transfer, the unlikely event that your degree would...

    Basically I agreed 100% with you - that was more directed at the other person who seemed to be defending this joke that is national accreditation. I see where my post looks directed at you. It wasn't...

    "NETY" and Other Fallacies

    carolinapooh replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing
