  1. Best stethoscope?

    Guest856929 replied to 1224_NS's topic in General Students

    Given that you’re a student, there’s no need for a cardiology stethoscope, granted I don’t know your financial status. I’ll guarantee that you will most likely lose your first stethoscope. I...

  2. 80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Guest856929 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Ad hominem attacks detract from the subject at hand. Yearn to be more rational than emotional. Everything I stated is reality on the ground which you’re perhaps detached from if you oppose it...

  3. A Few Words from Dr. Anthony Fauci

    Guest856929 replied to jeastridge's topic in Disaster Preparation

    ????? thanks for the laughter. Indeed, the blissful acquiescence to fallible narratives of the powers that be without an iota of skepticism is quite concerning, especially coming from people who...

  4. 80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Guest856929 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    I will provide you with an example that will distinguish between authority and autonomy. An ICU bedside nurse has the autonomy to titrate medications given certain parameters, or the nurse can select...

  5. New nurse feeling guilty about first death

    Guest856929 replied to midnighttokens's topic in General Nursing

    Before you devolve into preventable depression, you need to develop better coping mechanisms: mine is amnesia r/t things I cannot

  6. 80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Guest856929 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    If you have to clock-in and out to track your hours at the plantation so that you can perform skills and interventions that are guided by an authoritative figure, you're in a vocation, not profession....

  7. 80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Guest856929 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on your understanding of the denotative distinction between vocation and profession. Some words are used loosely in America, especially

  8. 80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Guest856929 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    I can make the same argument you made for barbers and

  9. Nursing and being a youtuber

    Guest856929 replied to xlightx's topic in General Nursing

    They are not mutually exclusive. Private information can be confidential and vice

  10. 80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Guest856929 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    And most of them were hospital-based institutions or at least in my region, which allowed the focus to be more clinical —the most relevant part of

  11. 80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Guest856929 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    After much thought, I have to agree with nursing being primarily a trade and perhaps the NCLEX should remain as is I.e a minimum competency test. All of which reinforce the notion that nursing, for...

  12. Can I become a nurse in California if I was convicted of child porn possession in the state?

    Guest856929 replied to chocolateocean's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    NO.

  13. Meltdown at Work and Feel like a Failure

    Guest856929 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    It is hard to tell without context. Crying at the workplace can be considered either appropriate or inappropriate depending on the situation. However, you mentioned that you had a meltdown which I...

  14. 80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Guest856929 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    And the intensity of NCLEX needs to be elevated beyond a minimum competency

  15. One third of nurses that die from covid are Filipino

    Guest856929 replied to Tweety's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Agree with your assessment. Too many confounding variables to

  16. Overworked and understaffed on COVID unit.

    Guest856929 replied to TaylorJ's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I know that you’re a new nurse, but one day you’ll look back at this regrettably. I say that as someone who in retrospect regrets the little time I spent in SNF/LTC. Total waste of time and my...

  17. Med error..... Could I lose my license?

    Guest856929 replied to RN66's topic in General Nursing

    That is an interesting but irrelevant retort. I wasn't questioning your experience in disparate healthcare fields. Nonetheless, I'm certain OP was in desperate need of the pious

  18. Med error..... Could I lose my license?

    Guest856929 replied to RN66's topic in General Nursing

    Quite the sanctimonious disposition, LOL. I'm sure you go around reporting any iota of discrepancies, bending the rule, or trivial innocuous mistakes. We are far from the most respected profession in...

  19. 80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Guest856929 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Very interesting that your friend makes more than you with “less education”. Nursing education is too gray currently. That’s is partly why I think having the minimum entry be a BSN. That way,...

  20. 80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Guest856929 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Those are some valid examples you provided. Much is left to be desired from such providers. NP education and licensure is quite fragmented and without reasonable standardized consistency. I think...

  21. 80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Guest856929 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps you should question the institution that you attended if you received subpar education. I do agree with you however regarding bedside nursing being a trade/vocation rather than a profession....

  22. Primary v.s. Secondary Diagnosis?

    Guest856929 replied to livelovenursing's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It's a play on words that I think confused you. It appears to be a case of which came first, the chicken or the egg, but it is not. If I say that someone is septic secondary to MRSA infection, you...

  23. Is ICU worth the stress?

    Guest856929 replied to commitmentphobe's topic in Critical Care

    It depends on what your end goals are. ICU nurses are relatively over-glorified, and bedside nursing, for the most part, is quite overrated. Most nurses who have been in the ICU for >20 years look...

  24. Unhappy in a hateful work place

    Guest856929 replied to queernursing's topic in General Nursing

    Reapply to another job of your preference. As soon as you are hired with 100% certainty. Cut your losses. There comes a time when blind loyalty to a company is not worth being miserable to satisfy...

  25. Med error..... Could I lose my license?

    Guest856929 replied to RN66's topic in General Nursing

    LOL. I would've been more concerned about not attenuating his pain with 5mg of oxycodone rather than him dying if he was supposed to get 2 mg of hydromorphone. I think some nurses have misplaced...
