    am I a nurse or home maker???

    nursel56 replied to jack1339's topic in Private Duty

    Imintrouble I suspect a copy of a signed agreement may not always be included in the client's home chart, especially with the trend toward EMR. Generally they contain a section identifying the PCG who...

    nursel56 replied to katie92's topic in General Students

    I'm really sorry that happened to you -- it's so normal to feel that way! I just have a few thoughts to offer... If it were me I'd actually be happier if the patient just said they didn't want a...

    There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    nursel56 replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    Do you have any evidence that draws a link between patients complying with education tailored to their diagnosis and treatment plan and either a) the physical appearance of the nurse or b) other...

    Yeah I love medical dramas with eccentric characters from House to Dr Mark Craig on St Elsewhere. My response wasn't intended to be sarcastic at all.(in case the prior comment was referring to

    If we make BSN the entry level degree, we should be paid more

    New TV Show- Nurse Nation on MTV

    nursel56 replied to kingofthekicks20's topic in Travel

    I'm having a hard time imagining a show about doctors like that, complete with generous eyefuls of the female surgeon's rack, or airline pilots showing up for work just sober enough to avoid getting...

    nursel56 replied to runningcrazy's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You're right. The only thing I can point to as a hopeful sign is that all state BONs managed to switch from their individual licensing exams (what we called "state boards" way back when) and agree on...

    nursel56 replied to runningcrazy's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think the nursing leaders would have declared BSN entry the law of the land if they could have. The problem is that each state has separate scope of practice laws, and education requirements to...

    nursel56 replied to runningcrazy's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That's a great suggestion as any international studies would be worthless without factoring the actual content of their country's "BSN". Even the Canadian system has enough differences to make...

    nursel56 replied to runningcrazy's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I totally agree with you, OP and also not talking about comparisons. Throughout the many decades of the BSN entry campaign, hospitals seemed content to watch us wage war on ourselves and only sent...

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

    I think for many years nursing was a golden ticket. In my case when I was younger it meant that I could move around and know I could find a job. Or try new working environments. It's possible that I...

    I feel truly sorry for new grads

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

    This has been a topic of concern here since late 2009. We've struggled against a well-funded propaganda machine who did their level best to stonewall and ignore new grads of all ages and keep what is...
