    Sorry, THIS is actually THE

  2. PLEASE help! What are my options???

    AcuteHD replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My final 2 cents, maybe. The vast majority of respondants agree that going straight into an MSN program with no nursing experience is not advisable. That, in a nutshell, in my opinion, is THE answer...

    AcuteHD replied to forgop's topic in General Nursing

  4. PLEASE help! What are my options???

    AcuteHD replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Posting to a forum is very much interpersonal communication. He is coming across as someone with poor communication skills hoping to go into a profession where communication skills are vital. I guess...

  5. Are too many certifications a bad thing?

    AcuteHD replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Just as a sidebar, since Ruger started this thread he has, apparently, given up on finding an ER, ICU, M/S or any other floor position. He is now taking all those fancy certs with him shopping for a...

    AcuteHD replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is your apology? Okay, not bad, but not great. This you consider rude and inappropriate? How?? And this? I don't even know what to say about this. We do answer your question, but you need to...

  7. "Why are you here?"

    AcuteHD replied to foxy1112's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    OP was refering to early days of diaylsis when demand was much higher than supply. Boards were set up to determine who would live and who would die and that was based, in part, on the pts benefit to...

  8. PLEASE help! What are my options???

    AcuteHD replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    IMHO, if OP had just said "OK" that would have been the end of it. But Noooooo! that's not what happened. Also, Most of our references to the "lady" comment are side notes to an actual

  11. PLEASE help! What are my options???

    AcuteHD replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats, you are now a MASTER of Nursing. Now, when you pass the NCLEX, you can actually do something nursy, like give your very first tylenol. SMH! I did not know things like this

  12. PLEASE help! What are my options???

    AcuteHD replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess if it works it works, but it seems bassackwards to me. Are there direct entry FNP programs or just management

  13. PLEASE help! What are my options???

    AcuteHD replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    But, the BA she has is irrevelant. This lady (I assume she's a lady since she must be a lady because only ladies want to be nurses) has zero nursing experience therefore what good will a glossy new...

  14. "Why are you here?"

    AcuteHD replied to foxy1112's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    BTW, in my analogy you would have been the trust fund kid telling someone what a blessing it must be to have a

    Does a BA to MSN program qualify you to sit for

    AcuteHD replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like you already made up your mind and you want to start a poop fight. Are you related to Ruger8MM

  17. "Why are you here?"

    AcuteHD replied to foxy1112's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    That's about right for my area too, but that's still $3 less than the New York fast food worker. SMH I would have a hard time believing that our poor rates are staffing related, all the techs I've...

  18. "Why are you here?"

    AcuteHD replied to foxy1112's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Yeah, I think the term blessing with dialysis set of some alarm bells. LOL Patients HATE dialysis for lots of good reasons, but they keep coming back. Focus on what keeps bringing them back....

    AcuteHD replied to forgop's topic in General Nursing

    To OP: It has to be done so just go do it! Why are you being so whiny about

  20. PLEASE help! What are my options???

    AcuteHD replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, you got your MSN, now what? You want a master's level job. Everyone that applies is going to have a MSN, so that's nothing special. Everyone else is going to have tons of nursing experience....

  21. Might be a violation, maybe.

    AcuteHD replied to AcuteHD's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Please, docs (in general) have about as much respect for HIPAA as they do PPE. I was attempting sarcasm when I said this might be a violation. What did I do?

  22. "Why are you here?"

    AcuteHD replied to foxy1112's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    - Why Is the Mortality of Dialysis Patients in the United States Much Higher than the Rest of the World? AV vs. Catheter access and rate of missed treatments were the two big factors in our high...

  23. "Why are you here?"

    AcuteHD replied to foxy1112's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I'm not going to bash you for being a cheerleader, but you can acknowledge that dialysis and all the restrictions and pain that go with it are a burden without adding to the negativity. Instead of...

  24. "Why are you here?"

    AcuteHD replied to foxy1112's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Dangit, Farawyn, stop posting what I'm gonna post before I post it. Give the slow kids a chance.

  25. "Why are you here?"

    AcuteHD replied to foxy1112's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Mmmm, I know where you're coming from but I would be reluctant to call dialysis a blessing to the pts. Imagine a spoiled, trust fund brat telling you that having a job must be such a blessing. Even...
