  1. Autism, mercury and cover up???

    While the article is interesting, I take issue with the individual's method of research and scientific data. She has done no double blind studies nor is her data supported by available scientific...
  2. ER violence

    I am concerned about your attitude. I have been a nurse since 1967. I have only been physically assaulted once. And the individual was reacting to his father being allowed to sign out AMA from the...
  3. Change in BSN requirements

    Can't provide you with the links but I can provide the citations. Grannynurse
  4. criminal record in nursing school???

    Most BON will not tell you if they will allow you to sit for your lisencure exam, a head of time. However, it is likely, given what you have shared, they will allow you to but it is not a given....
  5. Change in BSN requirements

    Actually, the journal articles and research I found last night, does not support your view. I would be happy to share what I have found, if anyone is interested in research :) Grannynurse
  6. ER violence

    Are you? Or are you kidding yourself? I changed position, in my career, every two to three years. It helped me avoid burnout, exposed me to new experiences, allowed me to use my skills and...
  7. Community College vs University

    I've read the responses with interest, having been involved in several board discussions :) In response to your question, it depends on what part of the country you are going to practice in, what...
  8. ER violence

    I think it is time for a change, for you. And for your patients. You are setting yourselfup for burnout. Grannynurse
  9. Change in BSN requirements

    I couldn't agree with you more. I just spent four hours, at USF library, researching journal articles on this topic. You would be surprised at what I have found out. And how much actual research...
  10. Change in BSN requirements

    Without intending to do so, you have just angered approximately 60% of the nurses, in this country. I began my nursing education at a diploma school. I ended up receiving an associate degree and...
  11. LPN to RN Program?

    I am not sure what you mean by starting from scratch. All programs have certain classroom requirements, mandated by the Department of Education. as an LPN you can challenge for certain nursing...
  12. Statistics...how did you survive?

    Sorry :stone Grannynurse
  13. ER violence

    I would like to respond from the other side, when a patient feels threatened by a nurse. I am a very hard stick, for drawing blood and starting IVs. I warn the nursing staff of this and request...
  14. Statistics...how did you survive?

    I'll ask him. He teaches in Brooklyn. You live near by, I hope :rotfl: Grannynurse
  15. Liability insurance

    I couldn't agree with you more. The first aim, of the facilities attorney is to protect the facility. If that means protecting you, they will. If they lose because of something proceived to be your...
  16. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

    I'm sorry but do you have the same atittude :balloons: towards the physicians you work with? Do you think anything less of one, who goes to a residence in rural county general vs one who goes to a...
  17. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

    I have never assume that anyone who has an associate or diploma is possibly any less intelligent or any less capable then anyone else. I do find it amusing that one has to defend one's self by...
  18. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

    Timothy, you are addressing me as if I have never been anything but a BSN graduate. You couldn't not be more incorrect. I spent 27 months in a diploma program, a rather uniquic program, seeing that...
  19. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

    Ever review the stats reguarding which physician is sued and which is not??? No surprise, it is the physician who is viewed as non-caring but technically compendent who is more likely to be sued,...
  20. How much studying in a day???

    I believe the number of hours one spends is dependent on several things, including reading ability and comprehension, type of material being read, previous knowledge, current experience. When I was...

    With the help of my boyfriend who had a PhD in Physics He was a life saver. :rotfl: Grannynurse
  22. Penicillin desentiziation

    Couldn't agree with you more. The term cowboy is clearly deserved. And the risks totally unwarrented. Grannynurse
  23. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

    The content of these posts clearly demonstrates the lack of understanding and knowledge as to what makes up a professional education and what makes up a technical one. And to lay the blame on the ANA...
  24. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

    You are entitled to your opinion, that nursing is a profession. I am just shariing, that as a former diploma school student, a assoicate degree graduate, a BSN graduate, that until we have ONE UNIFORM...
  25. Penicillin desentiziation

    First, I am not yet an NP. Made an error when I posted my screenname. Second, as one who is extremely, even life threatening reactions, I would not desensitize a patient who had the reaction I have...
