  2. ADN vs BSN Battle

    AlphaM replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I was fortunate, lucky really to land a position in leadership at a large academic center as an ADN, but I quickly realized that without an advanced degree I was very limited as far as upward mobility...

  5. Valedictorian caught cheating

    AlphaM replied to pinknursepower's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sorry but all I've heard is one side of this story, I suspect her story might be different. I personally do not have all the information I need to join the hate mob here. Until then I reserve judgment...

  6. Air Evac/Single vs twins

    AlphaM replied to ERRN324's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Here's a good article http://flightsafety.org/fsd/fsd_aug91.pdf Personally I don't think one is safer than the other, most crashes are due to human error, one can argue that with twin engines the...

  8. Great Nurse = Great Leader???

    AlphaM replied to airwaynurse's topic in General Nursing

    A quote from one of the brightest minds the world has seen and a great leader. I don't agree 100% but respect

  9. Great Nurse = Great Leader???

    AlphaM replied to airwaynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I could not agree more...except for the Bible being a good source of guidance, we all know the book of Leviticus. In any event, I agree in that we ALL must remain open and respectful to all

  10. Valedictorian caught cheating

    AlphaM replied to pinknursepower's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Would you feel differently if you were to learn that the OP was wrong and exaggerated / misrepresented the facts? I'm not saying the OP did but because all we have is 1 side of the story my prior...

  11. Valedictorian caught cheating

    AlphaM replied to pinknursepower's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I know the student didn't do the right thing, I just feel empathy and sorry for her. All we know is 1 side of the story. I guess al I'm saying is that I feel sad for

  12. Great Nurse = Great Leader???

    AlphaM replied to airwaynurse's topic in General Nursing

    My post was ONLY to disagree that the bible is remotely a source of scientific knowledge. It is clearly not in my opinion. I celebrate and welcome other's beliefs as long as they do not impose on...

    AlphaM replied to airwaynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Really? Biblical scientific errors -

  14. How to handle a coworker who is giving poor care

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

    I think the OP should have never made this post, This borders on the unethical. Any allegations of abuse must be reported to the appropriate agencies, they should not be publicly exposed online for...

    AlphaM replied to pinknursepower's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    So in other words you guys bullied this girl out of her moment. So

  16. Please I need advice!

    AlphaM replied to Q_vick03's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'd argue that a nurse preceptor refusing to train a new nurse properly is neglecting their duty as a nurse, I see precepting as a skill like drug administration, wound care, etc. being a good patient...

  17. Hippa violation

    AlphaM replied to That1nurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Wow, I would fight this

  18. Hippa violation

    AlphaM replied to That1nurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Red, I think that if she got fired they probably did this. An employer usually will not act in that way unless there's solid evidence. That's my guess.

  19. Valedictorian caught cheating

    AlphaM replied to pinknursepower's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This story smells bad, I'm questioning whether the student really cheated or the OP just feels she cheated. With a scholarship money on the line it's hard to believe a story like this. Have we been...

  20. Valedictorian caught cheating

    AlphaM replied to pinknursepower's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    After learning that there's a scholarship on the line I changed my mind, this should be exposed and not be allowed to proceed. Is she sleeping with someone? Well that's just taking it too far unless...

  21. What have you learned about Death?

    AlphaM replied to g2255lw's topic in General Nursing

    In the words of William Shakespeare: Cowards die many times before they are dead. The valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders which I yet have heard it seems to me most strange that...

  22. New Grad - Ain't he special!

    AlphaM replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My apologies I heard police and theft and my mind jumped to 911 or a police response that would tie up a vital community resource meant to be used for serious emergencies. Now threatening to call the...

  23. New Grad - Ain't he special!

    AlphaM replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Police report? Isn't that a little excessive? I get it, the guy is an idiot but tying up Emergency Services is not a good way to handle

  24. New Grad - Ain't he special!

    AlphaM replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Careful, he will cry bullying if you confront him

  25. What have you learned about Death?

    AlphaM replied to g2255lw's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree, the non nursing contributions help us nurses see a different perspective. Inbreeding is never a good
