    Great Nurse = Great Leader???

    nursel56 replied to airwaynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I hope my comment didn't come across as critical of people responding to the snark. I actually meant the opposite. Having you and others participate in any discussion is a high value thing to me and...

    Great Nurse = Great Leader???

    nursel56 replied to airwaynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I thought the first one was an unfortunate "one-off". That was the one who also put quote marks around the word "articles" when she referred to those written by our membership when that topic came...

    Nursing School Vs Med School, no comparison

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

    I was thinking just today that this is one of my favorite threads. Going off-topic is gloriously good fun when we don't need to worry about offending the person who started the thread (for obvious...

    PEDS NURSES: What am I doing wrong??

    nursel56 replied to BambiBelle07's topic in Pediatric

    Here are a couple of links. I find it necessary to keep up with CDC recommendations for all of this. Doctors do not necessarily know the most current information. Vaccines: HOME page for Vaccines...

    PEDS NURSES: What am I doing wrong??

    nursel56 replied to BambiBelle07's topic in Pediatric

    Bambibelle, I believe your main issue right now is confidence, which is perfectly normal. I actually had one job that we called "the shot room", then I worked with an allergist and did allergy...

    New to Peds

    nursel56 replied to nyc2011's topic in Pediatric

    Barney is dead? Say it isn't so! (I'm kidding) Anyway, nyc2011 the only tips I might add to the already excellent ones by previous posters is that children are people with all the unique traits adults...

    I got subpoenaed

    nursel56 replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    Oh, I've noticed people saying sometimes phone quoting doesn't always translate accurately to the desktop version. Sorry for the

    I got subpoenaed

    nursel56 replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    Yes, I do know PDNs don't work in facilities, but perhaps I wasn't really clear that when I said legal counsel I didn't mean other insurance. The reason I suggested what I did is basically that PDN is...

    nursel56 replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, from you a compliment means a lot. Most of it dates to my pre-guide days, when some of what I wrote makes me want to ...plus a gradual realization that most of the time the spats were...

    Nursing School Vs Med School, no comparison

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

    The only thing to feel satisfied about re: this post is the knowledge that their payback will be of their own making as a result of their character. We know his type is the minority, and that the...

    Nursing School Vs Med School, no comparison

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

    I haven't seen anyone say nursing school is equivalent to medical school. As far as staying in one's scope of practice, you appear to be ignoring APRN programs entirely. The studies I see posted here...

    I got subpoenaed

    nursel56 replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    I agree there is too much hysteria over losing one's license for any and all things that people commonly post about on this forum. My familiarity with the Private Duty Nursing world, as well as...

    Liking members at AN

    nursel56 replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    Me too! Allnurses is great, but I can't say that getting rid of that pesky old 5-minute edit window and getting the "premium membership" had nothing to do with my decision to spend the money..........

    Do you always wear a suit to an interview???

    nursel56 replied to bathrobemom's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm curious about what the groups of laughing women were wearing, but beside that I have heard some geographical areas are more casual than others. I've never worn a suit to an interview. I have...

    I got subpoenaed

    nursel56 replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    Hasn't happened to me yet but don't go in there without seeking legal counsel first! Both sides will try to use you to their advantage and may express their displeasure at your failure to do that by...

    How to handle a coworker who is giving poor care

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

    I didn't quote all your posts but my two cents would be first to separate how she treats you and other co-workers as well as those things you have heard about her past history from the topic of...

    Minimum Wage + LVN Wage

    nursel56 replied to g2255lw's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think this is a good idea if you can do it. Looking at minimum wage in isolation from other factors most likely won't give you an accurate picture of your prospects in the field of nursing because...

    Physician Bullying of Nurses Reaching Epidemic Levels

    nursel56 replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Nursing News

    Then of course there was the case of the nurse who bullied the surgeon by taking the patient's donor kidney and throwing it in the trash..... . The author wrote a whole book full of this kind of...

    Is the RN--->BSN push a clever way to get older nurses out of the way

    nursel56 replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What irritates me is that they start to program nursing students who I would say are not mindless, but trusting. They talk about assignments like "explain why a BSN nurse is better than an ADN"? It...

    Proper Documentation

    nursel56 replied to Willowjude's topic in General Nursing

    I guess if two nurses needed to work together standing on opposite sides of the patient's bed you'd have a High Noon standoff or a funny skit like Monty Python Argument Clinic? "The injury is on the...

    What is the worst case of bullying you've seen in your nursing career?

    nursel56 replied to Guest878640's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not going to re-quote the whole reply but.... Thank you, Gooselady. The interesting thing to me is that throughout my career I never would describe behavior towards me or witnessed by me as...

    What is the worst case of bullying you've seen in your nursing career?

    nursel56 replied to Guest878640's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Perhaps it is the geographical location I am in, or maybe I just got lucky, I don't know. I first heard the term "nurses eat their young" on this forum around ten years ago. I have never felt there...

    Is anything at your work that puzzles you

    nursel56 replied to pras's topic in General Nursing

    It puzzled me that my adult vent/trach private duty patient told me many times he was not afraid to die in a fire or an earthquake, but had a 10 out of 10 freakout when the power went out one evening....

    What is the worst case of bullying you've seen in your nursing career?

    nursel56 replied to Guest878640's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The worst case of bullying I ever saw was the way a supervisor with many personality problems, whose job was safe due to her being hired by the Medical Director abused and humiliated a sweet...
