    Nurse Practitioner had live sex for online viewing

    beachynurse replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I totally agree with you. I believe in minding my own business, and as long as it doesn't effect me let them do their thing. I would never be involved in that line of work but if that is what they...

    Nurse Practitioner had live sex for online viewing

    beachynurse replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    While I am aware of this clause, I also feel, who are they to judge these people? Unless the action effects her nursing practice, what's the big deal? We nurses are held to a significantly higher...

    Med assistants are nurses?

    beachynurse replied to MarkMyWords's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That is true, however, the Nurse Practice Act clearly states that the only people able to call themselves nurses are RN's and LPN's. Calling a Medical Assistant, CNA's nurses can be considered...

    Nurse Practitioner had live sex for online viewing

    beachynurse replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That is one of the things that I dislike about being a nurse, being judged. While I wouldn't do what that NP did, that is her, and her husband's business, and as consenting adults have the right to...

    Scared

    beachynurse replied to Sc8red's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I used to teach at a local community college, and I always told my students that the Board of Nursing is NOT your friend. If you get an invitation to visit them, it's not for lunch, and always go with...

    Medical Aid in dying

    beachynurse replied to Indigo9899's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I am an advocate for death with dignity legislation. Virginia doesn't have any such laws, but I hope that will change in the future. I believe that we have the right to choose how we live, why can't...

    What Is Wrong with These Students?

    beachynurse replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Another issue with students is the inability to discuss controversial topics. I do a section on ethics, and we talk about various issues and why the subject can be an ethical issue, and argue for or...

    What Is Wrong with These Students?

    beachynurse replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I quote FERPA, "If you are over 18, or have started college, whichever comes first, their educational records belong to them". I use this as a preamble to my speech about self advocating, and I have...

    What Is Wrong with These Students?

    beachynurse replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    That's exactly right, and that's how I feel. I tell them in the very beginning of the first class as I go over the syllabus that by turning in assignments on time shows responsibility, something that...

    Tired kids!

    beachynurse replied to Keeperofthebandaids's topic in School

    It's so surprising hearing that for elementary students. My High Schoolers do this all the time and come to the clinic and ask to take a nap. My clinic is not a lay down clinic unless you are very...

    What Is Wrong with These Students?

    beachynurse replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I taught at a local community college and I was appalled at what the younger students expectations are in college. I had a pretty tight syllabus, no late work, or taking tests late unless there are...

    Torn Between Two Hospitals as a New Grad

    beachynurse replied to Erica Renee's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the other responders as far as taking a new job when you are planning a move in the near future. However, once you do move and start looking for a job, I would try and find a new grad...

    Nurse for 5 years wants to quit

    beachynurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I'm so sorry that you are unhappy with your career choice. But it's better to find out now, and realize that you need to find another career path. I think Nurse Beth's advice is spot on. Nursing isn't...

    Safety & Practice Intimidation in Ohio

    beachynurse replied to Catedi's topic in General Nursing

    That CC has no idea what can happen if you give the incorrect medication to the incorrect patient. If you cannot see the entire face, you do not have a valid proper ID. You have nothing to compare the...

    I Feel Stuck - Like My Options Are Limited

    beachynurse replied to Ashleynurse101's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but I respectfully disagree. Getting married simply because she is pregnant is one of the worst decisions to make. I was not a single parent, but I do believe very strongly that a happy...

    I Feel Stuck - Like My Options Are Limited

    beachynurse replied to Ashleynurse101's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds as if you have done a great deal of soul searching in order to come up with your decision. You must do what is best for you and your family, no matter what. If you feel that this is the best...

    beachynurse replied to Tocino's topic in School

    I tried to go in that direction once and OMG, you would have thought I asked her to check into a mental institution. She doesn't believe in therapy, but she sure believes in going to other MD's. for...

    Teachers and Staff Want To Be Taken Care Of

    beachynurse replied to Tocino's topic in School

    We are here primarily for the students. but we also do check out the staff, if we have time. It's students first here. If my clinic is busy, and a staff member comes in for a BP check, they have to...

    I guess their ego's are getting hurt because now Nurses can be Dr's, and so many other career paths have Doctoral degrees. Get over

    beachynurse replied to Jennifer Romans's topic in Patient Education

    I actually have severe sleep apnea, diagnosed after a surgical procedure last year. While I was in the hospital, I was able to use both a Cpap, and a Bipap. I personally prefer the Bipap. The Cpap has...

    Georgia law prohibits DNPs from using the term "doctor"

    beachynurse replied to klone's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I really think that this is just ridiculous. If you earn the Doctoral Degree, then you have earned the right to use the title of Dr. I think that there are significantly more important things that...

    beachynurse replied to marsbar37's topic in School

    Once again, I don't understand why you are so argumentative and antagonistic. That is not the reason I am on this forum, to be attacked by you or anyone else. You are, as I stated before,...
