  1. No wonder patients are in pain!

    Miss Mab replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    PeachPie, Any movement w/your situation? Just wanted to send some positive thoughts.... While I certainly wish we could eradicate addictions altogether, what I truly disdain is a process set up in...

  2. Air force reserve questions

    Miss Mab replied to nursekat43's topic in Government, Military

    Technically, there is. Though all classes are held on OTS campus @ Maxwell, there are usually two "reserve" sessions held each fiscal year that are two weeks in length rather than the 5 (i.e., 35...

  4. Help! I should've wasted a medication & didn't!

    Miss Mab replied to lizzieborden's topic in Patient Medications

    Don't know how new or interesting this might be for anyone but FWIW Anybody ever peruse the 'disciplinary actions' section of your state BON site? Since we all(and even if you haven't done this...

  5. CEN-Emergency Nursing Content Review/Self Assessment

    Miss Mab replied to mwboswell's topic in Emergency

    D D C C A..... I saw this first about 14 hours ago and for some reason I couldn't post. I do know even then my answers didn;t match most others. So, this reminded me of the hell of," No,no, you have...

  6. AFR Flight Nurse

    Miss Mab replied to LBB15's topic in Government, Military

    Sorry I;ve been off for a bit. Re Sere, unless this changed in, literally, the last week or so, the 19 days is still accurate. It could have changed I suppose. Things always do! Sorry, I know nothing...

  7. Is my drug addiction really that much worse than her alcoholism?

    Miss Mab replied to Magsulfate's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think your prior negative experiences are overly influencing your read of these boards.JMO I read your OP and immediately had a reaction as why this 'thanks' thing might be happening. AA meetings...

  8. USAF Flight nurse school and survival school??

    Miss Mab replied to Natef26's topic in Government, Military

    Actually, the WA component is only 19 calender days. You will definitely not be doing any 38 day

  9. AFR Flight Nurse

    Miss Mab replied to LBB15's topic in Government, Military

    Survival school for flight nurses is currently only 19 days in WA and there are no plans to change this. No, more than half of the time you are staying in shared rooms on

  10. Written Up...

    Miss Mab replied to Okami_CCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I do hate nursing. Oh wait, that was a different thread...... Say, btw, my employer wants everyone to wear matching armbands while on duty. I don't wanna but, after all, the economy's bad and I...

  11. What Happened To The Nursing Profession?

    Miss Mab replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    See, these last kind of posts really misdirect the issue, I think. I don't think the problems we are discussing have much to do with actual knowledge deficits of nurses or a lack of understanding of...

  12. What Happened To The Nursing Profession?

    Miss Mab replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    His blog topic and rationale lack evidence of basic critical thinking......this from someone who usually enjoys that site. Why harp on 'critical thinking' in relation to an area where most have no...

  13. Should a nursing student be given a 2nd chance if they have a positive drug screen

    Miss Mab replied to PEBBLES1's topic in General Students

    Wow... I'm very late to the discussion but want to drop my thoughts in. I'm definitely going to have to sway to the, shockingly small, minority who think it's possible there is room for redemption...

  14. failed nclex twice...not sure what to do..

    Miss Mab replied to kel_09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm sorry you're going through this! I don't have too much advice, sorry. Any chance you're splitting focus between the nursing/med way of thinking and it's too early to do so without confusing you?...

  15. Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    Miss Mab replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    Seriously....if these 'ebonics' are an 'ingrained' pattern of speech then wouldn't that by definition mean it's how he's always talked? Is this somehow now a surprise and not something that should...

  16. Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    Miss Mab replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    and if it sounds like there's a wee chance that it

  17. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    Miss Mab replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    PR, by definition, is not reliant on facts. My interest in this discussion relates to perception. Having multiple HC related websites can be good and bad but nah, I'm confident my opinions don't...

  18. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    Miss Mab replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    i'm certain you don't mean to imply that my only awareness of these professional issues is contained within internet forums or that i'm unable to discern real life practice issues from bb grumblings....

  19. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    Miss Mab replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yeah, two weeks was just too long to keep a hold on that thinnest of veils, eh? Look, attempts to engage ‘the nurses’ to rise up and defend the DNP PROPOSAL or to staunchly present evidence of MD...

  20. New LPN, approached by a disgruntled employee

    Miss Mab replied to moomoo111's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm.. So, you're brand new and somebody whined and vented to you and your response was not to address her but to take what she said to two different managers and alert them? You've also somehow...

  21. career change to nursing the right choice?

    Miss Mab replied to Dino's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hello gentleman, Just wanted to throw in my thoughts from a former 'back end cargo' :) perspective. I never did the regional thing or even the commercial gig, I did international charter ops flying...

  22. Well it's official!

    Miss Mab replied to Esh570's topic in Government, Military

    Congrats and welcome, LT! I got back from COT last month and have been wanting to post an updated thread as many things seemed quite different from even our most recent summer attendees' experiences....

  23. Question about commission

    Miss Mab replied to Duncan83's topic in Government, Military

    I can only share my experience as a current nurse(46F3) with a reserve AES: From first contact until commissioning---19 months (though I did require a simple waiver and I wasn't exactly johnny-on-the...

  24. Air Force Nurse - Hearing Question

    Miss Mab replied to TonyLaws's topic in Government, Military

    Just as an aside---my AF odyssey never included a stop at any MEPS station. My flight physical was completed at my base prior to commissioning so it's a bit of a misnomer to say all services will...

  25. AF Reserves - How much time in the beginning?

    Miss Mab replied to djmsailor's topic in Government, Military

    Well, it's a little tricky to answer your question because it would greatly depend on what squadron and AFSC you were coming in with. Are you going AES, ASTS, the regular Med Group?They're all going...
