I have serious concerns about Md offices hiring medical assistants and calling themselves nurses. They are given diagnostic results and education to pts, but identify as nurses . I have had the experience and new immediately that I was not speaking t...

Even humans can exist without humanity and nurses are not exempte. Very sorry you do not understand the difference between venting vs vominting on others bc you can.

Yes that is my job to fight for the inherent worth and dignity of any pt perhaps i will be fighting for you one day. Venting and vomiting are different things

I am not having a bad day.

Yes it is a message board and i understood that it was not being said to pts faces, but this is a profesdional board and i will defend pts even when we use inflammatorty name calling. Words are powerful and i understand that if we feel the need to c...

There is nothing you can do about a feeling or a thought it is human, but their is something wrong with referring to pts as *******s. . But my first priority when i see something like that is to make sure i speak out about the inappropriateness of p...

If you work in a large urban ED, we know what groups of people you are referring to as orifices. I am an old fashion nurse who believes that people should be able to identify me as a nurse regardless of the pt i am caring for. What job is perfect? Yo...

Thank you for just for the validation....our fellow peers are not the culprits.

No nurses get frustrated everyday 30yrs in nursing working in private and public i have never heard a NURSE refer to pts as *******......i can't defend that. I am certain you have a vocabulary that is bigger than that. I have been called names that ...

Every pt is not warm and fuzzy nor is every nurse. Sounds as if you have some displaced expectations. It is always a HUGE concern when healthcare. personnel start referring to pts as *******.

Yes ms landers

Thank you sometimes the best nursing is kindness. No one will every be able to understand these kinds of things but nurses. I applaud you for caring for those pts. How do any of us document humanity practices?

I know these professions evolved out of nursing and i don't know who are what entity determined their value, but i know that doctors and facilities determined our identities and value, that my friend is very dangerou when others determine your worth....

And then what......

I trally wish i could be more concise and laugh about things,but i can not

Hospitals and pharm companies don't go through tough times the same as other industries. Have you ever worked at a facility that started cutting out things (essential things i might add) and nursing incentives or education and then they have a nurs...

Congrats Esme on your work to get here. Look for an environment to grow in and not facilities that will treat youu like a warm body. Honor your pts voices, bc they will let you know quicker than tests what is going on...,,,i have found listening a...

Well sociopathy is vastly different from other mh conditions in fact it is considered a character disorder and rarely do you see this group dealing with depression suicide. I happened to believe that someone struggling with life and death truly dont ...

This is iin reference to smartnurse 1982.. LVNs and as Associate, Diploma degreed RNs evolved out of the extensive shortages of. 4Yr RNs. My mom was one hell of an LVN, who was trained like an RN when she hit the floor. She worked with prominent p...

I am responding to Thimbalina aout MA running hospital. The MA could be charged with a felony for misrepresenting herself as a licensed nurse, even 20 yrs ago it was easy to find out if someone had a license. The hospitl knew and let it go on........

The initial thread is a testimony to trying to bring a light to the multide of issues that nurses are asking to do. All the posts are accurate ie nurses with so much responsiblities and asked to do more that is unrealistic, unobtainable. You also ha...

I appreciate your post , succinct and about what is legal. I truly believe that it is an education issue for the MAs. I dont think they are aware, but it is not an education issue for physcians. They are very much aware of the differences in using MA...

Unfortunately this is not accurate. In ALL 50 sttes nurse is a protective title.....i t is not ENFORCED it all states but it is a licensed professional who have obtained additional training and passed an r exam. LVNs/LPN ,RN or an RN with additional...
