  1. Struggling :(

    JustMeRN replied to PadmeRN's topic in Western Governors University

    I think maybe I came across wrong with the Google comment. I know you managed to get through without working the course of study, but I don't think that is reality for most people. Since the...

  2. Struggling :(

    JustMeRN replied to PadmeRN's topic in Western Governors University

    I have learned way way more than paper pushing skills going from ASN to BSN. I thought exactly what you are saying, until I started out on this path, now I can see the difference. In the end you get...

  3. Struggling :(

    JustMeRN replied to PadmeRN's topic in Western Governors University

    I'm sorry, but I think the advice to skip the course of study is terrible advice, unless the subject matter is something you are familiar with. I am am in my second term, I will be done 40 credits is...

  4. Scope of Practice - alternative approaches + RN?

    JustMeRN replied to ivyxgrvce's topic in Holistic

    What exactly are you looking to do when you reference your "alternative care knowledge"? If you are talking yoga, relaxation, nutrition type stuff those are easy to use o incorporate into practice....

  5. Negative Post on Facebook About New Nurses - I'm Fired Up!

    JustMeRN replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I saw this post this morning, it's wrong on so many levels. First off, it's a one sided story. We don't know anything about the patient or situation beyond what this one person is saying. Actually,...

  6. Need advice for a friend

    JustMeRN replied to scrabblern's topic in Home Health

    I don't manage iv's, but I do believe the agency does for short term (ie patient only needs a couple more doses when home). However, if I recall correctly Medicare will not pay for the medication as...

  7. Integrative Medicine for Nurse Practitioner

    JustMeRN replied to momrn5's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    what is your definition of "integrative" medicine? Integrative is a popular catch phrase for alternative treatments. Is that what you are asking about? Homeopathy, naturopathy, chiropractic

  8. Home care nurse needs serious advise re ? abused dog

    JustMeRN replied to nurse4sale's topic in Home Health

    There is a home care forum you might get more replies in. My take is its not your business unless you see someone abusing the animal. One of the biggest things is home care is you can't control how...

  9. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    JustMeRN replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    well, yes it's my opinion (since this is a somewhat opinion based discussion) but you are wrong that it is not more. The Ana code of ethics is concsidered the ethical guidelines of our profession. The...

  10. Where are all of the holistic nurses?

    JustMeRN replied to PaleoNurse's topic in Holistic

    none of what you are describing here fits the definition of holistic nursing, so I'm not even sure what your point is? What you are describing is either poor education, or young inexperienced nurses....

  11. Where are all of the holistic nurses?

    JustMeRN replied to PaleoNurse's topic in Holistic

    It is not an ANCC (Ana supported) recognized certification. That said, it is a certification created by its own professional organization. From the holistic nurse certificationFAQ page: "Q1: What is...

  12. Experience Needed?

    JustMeRN replied to Fiddlesticks27's topic in Home Health

    No problem. I love home health, it is my "it" position. But even then, I see lots of room for improvement. It's not perfect. It is also a rapidly growing area as healthcare transforms and cost...

  13. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    JustMeRN replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    the reason for adding minuscule amounts of toxins to your exposure is because it provides scientifically proven protection against deadly disease, and against spreading that disease. Also, you have...

  14. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    JustMeRN replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    i never experienced anything beyond chickenpox, but I don't need to to understand the facts. Rational people understand the reality of serious communicable disease, and are able to process the...

  15. Where are all of the holistic nurses?

    JustMeRN replied to PaleoNurse's topic in Holistic

    There are 2 discussions going on here. One on holistic nursing, one on alternative medicine. They are not the same thing. Op, which is it you want to discuss? Holistic nursing is something we are all...

  16. Experience Needed?

    JustMeRN replied to Fiddlesticks27's topic in Home Health

    I I worked medsurge four more than 10 years, then outpatient (phone calls) over 2 years before moving into home health last year. For me it was an easy transition. You do need to have very strong...

  17. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    JustMeRN replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but you have fallen for the hype. Your "vitamins" are hype backed by nothing. Again, your personal experience does not trump decades of research by qualified scientists. It just

  18. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    JustMeRN replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    it is still a personal decision. But, like all decisions there are consequences. If you don't want to vaccinate your kids that's fine. But, they don't go to public school, that is the consequence....

  19. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    JustMeRN replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is the world around you is toxic to you. You will have constant toxic exposure every single day just by breathing. You sleep on a mattress doused in toxic chemicals. Your home, furniture,...

  20. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    JustMeRN replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    So, you have chosen to attack me personally and question my education and experience instead of supporting your opinion? Perfect. If being asked to back up your claim is waste of time, why are you...

  21. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    JustMeRN replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    welcome to AN, I see this is your first post. Do you understand the difference between correlation and causation? And what science based medicine and evidence based practice means? If so then you...

  22. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    JustMeRN replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Noted. I think maybe it's time to also remind posters that it is against TOS to offer medical advice on these boards. Telling someone to take "natural" lithium for their neurological disorder, or...

  23. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    JustMeRN replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    you are so very, very, very wrong, and you can't even stop long enough to understand how much you don't know or understand. You don't irk me, you frankly make me more angry than I can even describe....

  24. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    JustMeRN replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    You didn't answer a single one of my questions, because you can't. Telling me "look it up yourself" does nothing to show that you understand what you are talking about. It doesn't matter wether it is...

  25. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    JustMeRN replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    How about you back up that medical advice with some reasons, studies, anything. Why vitamin c? What's the dose? What does vit c do in the body on a biochemical level? What physiologically does it...
