    RN Detained and Quarantined As Ebola Hysteria Reaches a New Low

    RNsRWe replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    He has SAID a lot of things. Proof, though, seems to fall short. None of the places he claims to have education from or worked in have any records indicating same. Haven't heard from the Dominican...

    Mulan: Not sure if I should thank you for all that information, or cry that this screwball is gaining national attention. Or both! Something tells me that authorities are going to go into this...

    RN Detained and Quarantined As Ebola Hysteria Reaches a New Low

    RNsRWe replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Am I understanding this correctly, that a man who claims to be an MD but has no US license, no proof of ANY license, and who decided to personally "investigate the scope and severity of the Ebola...

    enjoying religion without actually being religious yourself?

    RNsRWe replied to ceccia's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I frequently find myself 'the token Jew' and am never offended or upset when people ask me questions. Assuming, of course, they are actually asking me a question for the purpose of greater learning,...

    Anyone know of a site to find out if credits are transferable to other schools?

    RNsRWe replied to vcoronel127's topic in General Students

    In a word, no. Schools have many and varied requirements for transferring credits, what will and won't be accepted. You'd need to check with the school where you are interested in attending, and see...

    I want to quit!!!!!

    RNsRWe replied to ChaeF's topic in General Students

    Sounds like a change in matriculation is in order! If you hate it this much now.....it will only get worse. Typically, new grads come out of their nursing programs starry-eyed, optimistic about how...

    Had 265 questions

    RNsRWe replied to JENURSE03_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's not that it isn't 'working'. It's that any guesswork on what it means is very unreliable until BOTH sets of scoring (your exam is scored TWICE) is done. The scorings are completed sometime...

    RN Detained and Quarantined As Ebola Hysteria Reaches a New Low

    RNsRWe replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think I'd like this printed up on business cards I hand out to my patients, right after I've provided sound patient education: "I'm just a nurse, so you should consider any and all information I...

    Maine Med Assn calls Kaci a hero

    RNsRWe replied to FLAlleycat's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I believe she's right in her refusal of quarantine. I also believe she looks VERY badly in her very public tirades.....she looks like a 'fame grabber' at this point. I mean, really: inviting the...

    RNsRWe replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm failing to see why a nurse should be rendered mute when it comes to criticism of the American public. I'm unaware of the regulations for licensure that state that a nurse is forevermore forbidden...

    Ebola- Quarantine/Quasi quarantine Yes or No?

    RNsRWe replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank you, that's important to know. I was unclear as to whether she was refusing the temperature checks DESPITE the necessity (because she was ******) or because she already had PROOF she was not...

    Knitting during class: ok or not?

    RNsRWe replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    I would think that when people use phrases like "grow up" and "get counseling" and other personally derogatory terminology, it would most certainly be considered negative. Posts are not "negative"...

    Can job termination occur if nurses do not get the flu shot and refuse to wear a mask

    RNsRWe replied to helen2346's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Where to start? Your information about the flu vaccine itself is incorrect. I suggest you read more about how the various (MULTIPLE) strains included in each year's vaccines are chosen. You throw...

    Support Kaci Hickox

    RNsRWe replied to nurse2033's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I just asked this on another thread, but there are now so many.....and I'd like to better understand something. Did KH test negative for Ebola before or after she refused to self-quarantine? Did she...

    Ebola- Quarantine/Quasi quarantine Yes or No?

    RNsRWe replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What a mess. I believe the quarantine KH was placed in was wrong. I believe she was right to grab herself a lawyer to fight it. I also believe that if she's going to be making public statements,...

    Hi, and welcome to AN! I think if you go to the yellow banner heading on the top of this webpage, you'll see a tab marked "Specialties". There you'll find a TON of different kinds of nursing, and...

    The bad pop up and a bad feeling.

    My guess would be the thinking that since there are two options (pass, fail) that this means 50/50. Statistics class time!

    student shortcuts

    Kids add a whole new dimension to nursing school, believe me. Permission slips are signed the night before, backpacks and lunchbags are packed the night before. I used to pack a lunch in an...

    Are handguns allowed at work?

    RNsRWe replied to TexasGal1964's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I WISH my facility had this set up, but they don't. I was surprised, actually, but.....they don't. I was, however, given a class on how to respond if/when a shooter is in the
