    So we want to be respected as educated professionals?

    nursel56 replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    I can haz cookie? :barf01:Millions of people love animal pictures captioned with nauseating babytalk. I will never understand that although I do have a soft spot for the O RLY? owl. There's also a...

    This transporter looks as if he wants to punch me everytime I see him and Im scared

    nursel56 replied to willowRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Is his behavior markedly different towards you compared to other people? That would be a cause for concern. I agree with mofomeat -- try the polite yet direct approach first. How he reacts to that...

    Making RNs Obtain a Baccalaureate Degree?

    nursel56 replied to Chronis's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I added a link (with plenty of points to explain) to my other post. Repeating a fallacy over and over does not make it truthier. Also, the idea that you look for a certain result until you finally...

    Making RNs Obtain a Baccalaureate Degree?

    nursel56 replied to Chronis's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What does that have to do with what we're talking about now? Are you saying that a company who uses science in a nefarious way negates the essential truth that an association made with no attempt to...

    So we want to be respected as educated professionals?

    nursel56 replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there is a huge difference in writing skills between different degrees on this forum. As to other reasons for and against that edict, the argument is in session down the hall and two...

    Making RNs Obtain a Baccalaureate Degree?

    nursel56 replied to Chronis's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Why, yes! Just 2 days ago we had one stagger across the finish line. At least this person provided their links right away . .

    Dermatology office pays $13/hour

    nursel56 replied to 50kn's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I agree this doctor is taking advantage of the economy and the plight of nurses to offer $13/hr. At least he isn't training an MA to do it. But why would their RN license be at risk for doing

    Will there ever be a surplus of nursing jobs again?!

    nursel56 replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in General Nursing

    Yep - there's a tendency in these discussions to view nursing employment as a simple replacement - switching in and out like a lightbulb as if the entire fabric of our healthcare system is static -...

    DID I get the JOB?

    congratulations!

    Agencies... How do they staff?

    nursel56 replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    My experience has been pretty much like the above. I do believe the overall quality of the nursing care is better when the client and nurse get to know the routine. The thing about private duty...

    I caught a cheating classmate

    nursel56 replied to eclinicgal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Were there a large number of people at your testing site? Seems like somebody hunched over their Blackberry trying to furtively enter Google search terms and glance up every few seconds to make sure...

    Good argument for a combined BON as other states

    Is this illegal?

    nursel56 replied to markfish's topic in Nursing Career

    What law do you suppose would be broken in this situation? Was there any discussion at all about you being hired full-time if there was an opening? I'm not sure that replacing a full-time employee on...

    Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    nursel56 replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this (a point that may have been lost in my previous comment). I lost one of the most important people in my life due to untreated clinical depression. Ironically, she was a physician...

    Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    nursel56 replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    People who are using the rationale that "nurses weren't as stressed out, sicker patients" etc - unless you were there you don't know. Even if you were there and your job was a walk in the park you...

    Did I catch this guy in a lie?

    nursel56 replied to CNA1991's topic in General Students

    I didn't realize he had announced to the people there in the club room if they needed medical advice about anything they should ask him . . maybe that was in a later post. Was anyone there just...

    Did I catch this guy in a lie?

    nursel56 replied to CNA1991's topic in General Students

    Perhaps he thought your style unusually intrusive for someone he'd never seen before so his normal protective instincts caused him to hedge his answers a bit. He may have thought to himself "why does...

    LPN. or RN

    nursel56 replied to gapeacheykeen's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes I agree! The IOM report correctly states that there needs to be some mechanism for merging current CC ADN programs into a workable way for them to transition before any mandates are handed down....

    help with interferring classmate

    nursel56 replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    I really think you should back off this one for your own sake. There is no reason to add anything to what they already know. These things don't always go down smoothly, and the more you say the...

    Scared of losing my licence...

    nursel56 replied to Maine's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I worked in one place that had a manager and a few "yes" people around who imo did nothing but try to destroy people. They caused a lovely nurse who'd been there for 30 years to be "retired". This was...

    CNAs deserve more appreciation in nursing!

    nursel56 replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think UAP began it's life as a blanket term for people discussing policies and budgets etc but as I'm not familiar with it in the workplace - how do you pronounce that? "yew-app" or "you-A-pea"...

    CNAs deserve more appreciation in nursing!

    nursel56 replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I completely agree with you - but I would like to point out that for many years CNAs were called "nurse's aides". I don't think anyone felt there was a derogatory meaning behind it at all. If a...

    Can LPN's act in supervisory role over the RN?

    nursel56 replied to Redhead55's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The most common response to that is that an LPN can be in a supervisory position if it's primarily an administrative position, not supervise the clinical practices of an RN. There may be informal...

    I'm a nurse. Not a housekeeper!

    nursel56 replied to EpiattIPNurse's topic in Private Duty

    I'm not a crafting elitist. I'm just as happy with one of those Sunchaser stained glass kits, or foamy shapes. :) I used to love puff-painted T-shirts, too. I do not take those items to work,
