  1. Please post your location in your profile

    Woodenpug replied to WantAccel.BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As I said, we all have our illusions. It's not that hard to harvest IP's. In addition to your ip, you have a particular style in language. Someone who knows you should have no trouble telling...

  2. Please post your location in your profile

    Woodenpug replied to WantAccel.BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Or something specific like the state. Wow, like there is no differences regionally in the same state. It's a matter of degree. I'm not all that paranoid, cuz I know it's not that hard to follow an...

  3. What do you think of JCAHO?

    Woodenpug replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    People say "thus and so is a joint commission requirement." They do this to advance their own agenda. Joint commission is not much different from AM best. They simply make sure you are following...

  4. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    Woodenpug replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    Ohh...cummon. It's a joke. so many of us have tried to point out how the same principles applied to male anatomy is silly. remember whites? Yeah, wear that bra and grannie panties, maybe pink...

  5. Communicating with UAP's about the importance of basic nursing care.

    Woodenpug posted a topic in General Nursing

    I feel we suffered a serious loss when hospitals no longer required certification for all direct patient care personnel. I can give many examples, but in a nutshell: The attitude toward basic...

  6. Communicating with UAP's about the importance of basic nursing care.

    Woodenpug replied to Woodenpug's topic in General Nursing

    Cool, I did not know such a thing existed. My CNA class used nursing texts. Could you give me a

  7. Communicating with UAP's about the importance of basic nursing care.

    Woodenpug replied to Woodenpug's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. My education department is where this started. They suggested that I find materials related to the reasons basic nursing is important. I did find a nice one from the Mayo clinic on...

  8. Communicating with UAP's about the importance of basic nursing care.

    Woodenpug replied to Woodenpug's topic in General Nursing

    for clarification: Yes I agree. CNA's are great, but my hospital does not require UAP's to be certified. I did not mean any criticism of my hospital policies or an over generalization of...

  9. Communicating with UAP's about the importance of basic nursing care.

    Woodenpug replied to Woodenpug's topic in General Nursing

    In a way, I'm addressing those. I believe that they would find a better environment with equal pay if they don't care and "just show up." I feel it's a knowledge deficit. Materials from nursing...

  10. Help! BSN or RN?

    Woodenpug replied to seattlerainsun's topic in General Students

    One more thought to add to TheCommuter's excellent points- Because they are so much less expensive, the community college may be more difficult to enter. Check out the applicants to openings at your...

  11. Cna Vs. Medical Assistant

    Woodenpug replied to gkbroaro's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    For reliable and accurate information about Medical assistants please see: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos164.htm And http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes319092.htm Top paying state for CMA is D.C. with an...

  12. Why unions are good for nursing and good for patients

    Woodenpug replied to advocateforsafety's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    The title and first post misled me. Seemed to be saying that patients are better off in a union hospital. mea culpa. I guess we agree, unions do good is a fair and safe statement. The review of...

  13. Why unions are good for nursing and good for patients

    Woodenpug replied to advocateforsafety's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Yes, thank you. I ran across those. I never said that unions do not do good positive things. I am sure that those things can be done without unions. I did say this thread has failed to live up to...

  14. Why unions are good for nursing and good for patients

    Woodenpug replied to advocateforsafety's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Neither really. I see no benefit to unions. That is not exactly anti-union, just not pro-union. I would like to see some valid information relating directly to patient outcomes being better in...

  15. Why unions are good for nursing and good for patients

    Woodenpug replied to advocateforsafety's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    That's the oc register not the metro, no wonder I couldn't find the article. Thank you, it was an interesting read, but not related to the topic of this thread. The national "no fear act of 2000" was...

  16. Why unions are good for nursing and good for patients

    Woodenpug replied to advocateforsafety's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    herring_RN if you could give a full title. I searched several ways and could not find the article. I did find a metro from the san francisco bay area. It's a well known alternative magazine. But...

  17. Nurses who became famous

    Woodenpug replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Robin Quivers, Howard Stern's side-kick is famous. But she admits that nursing is not for

    Woodenpug replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, wish we had a button for that. but thank you would be

  19. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    Woodenpug replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    Wonder if I would get reprimanded for wearing a bra? Yeah, professionalism is important, but really, are you more sexy in your push-up bra or without one? Should I wear a codpiece? Jocky or boxers?...

  20. 'Runaway' IV of 50% dextrose?

    Woodenpug replied to 2bNurseTimTin's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It's a fun question. You don't have the obvious answer slow down the current IV, or the better answer: Why drip D50, or how. (You would not need a MD order to return the IV to its proper rate while...

  21. Why unions are good for nursing and good for patients

    Woodenpug replied to advocateforsafety's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I appreciate that you do not have all the facts. I have this problem often and can empathize. Even if the terrible events you described did occur, you are only speculating as to what would happen...

  22. Why unions are good for nursing and good for patients

    Woodenpug replied to advocateforsafety's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    My apology tweety, I forgot to congratulate you on your clever use of the Argumentum ad Hominem. Wow! since you don't like me, I must be wrong or should stop advocating for the truth. Nicely...

    Woodenpug replied to advocateforsafety's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

  24. Why unions are good for nursing and good for patients

    Woodenpug replied to advocateforsafety's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Did I refer to you as delusional? That would be an example of the straw man argument. Attribute an argument to someone who knows your facts are not supported and then disprove what you attributed to...

  25. Why unions are good for nursing and good for patients

    Woodenpug replied to advocateforsafety's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Try and have done. You do not need a union to advocate for your patient. Thank you though for using a different classical fallacy from the usual ad hominiem, ignoratio elenchi and argumentum ad...
