    It's called Officer.com. It was the first one popped up on the Google search for a police forum. I posted the thread under ask a cop

    Emergent replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm getting a lot of varied and very good responses from the thread I started on the police forum. It looks like a really well run forum. It sounds like most think that this guy was a bit of a horses...

    Of course I didn't correct him in the middle of a busy shift while he was standing by with someone who had been arrested. I was glad that he had been forthright in expressing his opinion, which is all...

    Emergent replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just am reporting this officer's point of view, he was a very polite young man. As I've said in other posts here, in my department we have excellent relationships with law-enforcement. I think it's...

    At work today I asked a police officer, who was accompanying an arrested person to the emergency room, what he thought of this case. He said that he felt that both parties were wrong. He felt that...

    If there is a criminal in my ER, I prefer a police officer to be standing by, thank you very much. I don't judge a whole profession by the actions of a

    Emergent replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the update. This policy wouldn't work in my hospital. The police routinely bring pts in for medical clearance before jail, or when there's been an accident, or to obtain a legal draw. We...

    Emergent replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    What I find very telling is that this accident happened back at the end of July. I'm sure the police department of Salt Lake City has been aware of this fiasco for quite some time. I'm sure the...

    Emergent replied to swimmingfever00's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I remember great great great great granddad plowing the field with the mule. If you don't believe me I will call you a bully. He was an inspiration to me. He taught me that work ethic that I...

    The Union Is Coming

    Emergent replied to CV_RN_ICU's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a unionized facility. They don't do anything about the staffing ratios. They negotiate a contract. We have good wages, but my whole region does generally. I work for another hospital with...

    Help, I got a tough choice to make

    Emergent replied to morganm_0819's topic in General Nursing

    If you prefer to start with a lower acuity at first, I would personally choose choice three. MedSurg with the telemetry and some cardiac. There's nothing wrong with staying in your comfort level, and...

    Adopting a dog before school?

    Emergent replied to ColorMeUp's topic in General Students

    I don't think it's natural for a dog to be left alone for hours and hours on end. I solve that by having more than one dog. If you live in an apartment you really need to find a dog sitting service....

    Time to remove the "nurse" in APN?

    Emergent replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to ask those who are OK with a brand new BSN going directly into an online nurse practitioner program how they would feel about a medical doctor doing online classes and skipping the four...

    Time to remove the "nurse" in APN?

    Emergent replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    How about if, instead of that, Advanced practice nurses be required to work as hospital nurses for a certain period of time? That's what I would propose. I know some will disagree with me, but I...

    Why do We eat our young?

    Emergent replied to nellie272003's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
