    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    But that is an entirely different issue and has nothing to do with RV getting her license back. It just muddies the

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    That has nothing to do with what RV did and does not absolve her of anything. Hospital policies vary from facility to facility, good nursing judgment

    Phasing Out ADN?

    Wuzzie replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    I don't disagree with you at all but if a BSN is going to be required how in the hell is someone with a full time job and kids and a house and bills supposed to get one if not on-line? That was my...

    Phasing Out ADN?

    Wuzzie replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    So what is your suggestion for a person working full time who wants to get their BSN? You missed my point. Education is what the individual makes of

    Phasing Out ADN?

    Wuzzie replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    So you'd rather someone NOT continue their education at all because they can't afford to not work fulltime? Education is what you make of it. Plenty of people skate through formal BSN programs. I work...

    How does your hospital handle employee absences with a sick child?

    Wuzzie replied to Crb2704's topic in General Nursing

    1. It is "excused" but it still counts as an "occurrence" 2. I used to work at a hospital that had this and it was a nice option 3. Yes, those of us without children absorb the duties of the...

    Advice on Job Offer

    Wuzzie replied to Bethany Rae's topic in General Nursing

    Possible but extremely unlikely. I worked a job with a long commute. Frankly, it was awful. It took a toll on me, my car, my house, my relationships. 12 hours shifts are rarely 12 hours. Bad weather...

    Ethical Arguments Against Mandatory Vaccination

    Wuzzie replied to ldhrn73's topic in General Nursing

    Well, since we don't have thousands of people being harmed or worse, killed, by polio, measles, smallpox or rubella I think the effectiveness and safety of these vaccines is kind of obvious to most...

    Ethical Arguments Against Mandatory Vaccination

    Wuzzie replied to ldhrn73's topic in General Nursing

    I personally think our exposure to chemicals in our environment and the food we eat is the reason behind this moreso than vacccines. We live in a toxic cloud. It's no wonder we are having

    Why no retention bonuses??

    Why Hospitals Don't Value Nurses: A Nurse's Perspective

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    What I'm saying is if we can bill nurses as a separate provider rather than as a built in cost they will be able to see the value added and they can charge based on level of care. You can bet if a 1:3...

    "Cliques" in the Workplace

    Wuzzie replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't matter. It was grossly immature, egregiously unprofessional, unkind and unnecessary. I think it's long past time for some serious self-reflection whether this job and this career is in...

    "Cliques" in the Workplace

    Wuzzie replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing
