  1. Bedside Nurses: Undervalued, Poorly Retained and What Experts Say

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

  4. Bedside Nurses: Undervalued, Poorly Retained and What Experts Say

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

    So you are arguing that research directly relating to this is wrong...all of it? You are suggesting that the last few hours of a 12/hr shift actually has a decrease in possible errors? Yeah ok........

  5. Bedside Nurses: Undervalued, Poorly Retained and What Experts Say

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

  6. Bedside Nurses: Undervalued, Poorly Retained and What Experts Say

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

    Trust me, as a hospital administrator, it is much more advantageous for 12 hour shifts for the hospital. The 12 hour shift was never brought into operations with the end user in mind (nurse or the...

  7. Nurses Furious As Dentist to Lead Nursing Research Institute

    Secretperson replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    Are any of the “furious” nurses furious that their CFO, COO, or CEO are not nurses? In most HCO’s the CNO/DON has very little influence related to operations and they answer to a non-nursing...

  8. Bedside Nurses: Undervalued, Poorly Retained and What Experts Say

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

    Yup, the 12 hour shift was implemented for the benefit of the HCO, not it’s employees. In fact many large HCO’s are now rolling management into the three 12’s, nights, and every other weekend,...

    Secretperson replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

  10. Gender Pay Gap in Nursing: 2017 Salary Survey vs. 2015?

    Secretperson replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    "I am male and I work as a Psych nurse. I get paid a little bit more than my female coworkers. In my case, it is because I am expected to take on a more physical role than most. I deal with violent...

  11. Is there still a nursing shortage?

    Secretperson replied to Skippy97's topic in General Nursing

  13. 2015 allnurses Salary Survey Results

    Secretperson replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Mchristy25 really? That's your take? Only 8% of the nurses were male! Based on just the numbers that means that almost every guy who replied had an advanced degree. It did not say whether or not...

  14. physical therapy degree or mba after BSN ?

    Secretperson replied to jpazzi's topic in Men in Nursing

    Kudos for thinking ahead, but you literally just mentioned three entirely separate graduate paths. The MPH is somewhat terminal but offers little other than the "public health" component and will be...

    Secretperson replied to atorenherrinton's topic in Nursing Career

    Secretperson replied to jewelipooli's topic in Nursing Career

    So, if you have four years to get a degree, just get a degree in something else perhaps engineering or IT. at least you you would make a decent wage and not have worry about it. If you have any...

  19. New RN ready to give up

    Secretperson replied to andie78's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Andie78, sorry that some on here tell you to keep your head up and "hang in there" as if somehow nursing will change as you gain experience. Sad truth is it does not, for you will be forced to change...

  21. New grads in specialties without the basics

    Secretperson replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    icuRNmaggie, you are pretty inflammatory in this thread. You are coming off as someone who cannot see any side of an issue other than your own. You attack as if personally attached, and my guess is...

  22. New grads in specialties without the basics

    Secretperson replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Well I have been called out for being a constant deviant, but here is my opinion. Nurses (even though I despise the pay scale) are hitting the floors with BSN and MSN degrees. It is not elitist to...

  23. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Secretperson replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses are bullied by nurses, nurses also have higher suicide rates....I am speaking of patient care not a worldview. My post was a feeble attempt to rise above the "poor me" crap and treat people...

  24. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Secretperson replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    The idea that there is even a debate here is ridiculous. This article can be equated to Willie Nelson writing a song about gay cowboys after the movie Broke Back Mountain came out, bandwagon anyone?...
