Sorry, but what is OP?

They are phasing out RN without BSNs in magnet hospitals. We have not gotten anyone to address nurses who already have a Bachelors degree as opposed to RNs with only associates or diplomas.

D.Nurse, BA, RN-BC This should be the credentials behind many of our nurse's names but it seems this new push for "magnet" would have our accomplishments squelched and ignored completely. Indeed, Bachelor's educated women were sought out as nurses and even fast tracked through nursing schools, they were deemed so valuable. According to the nurses credentialing site, the highest EDUCATIONAL degree is listed FIRST as it cannot be taken away from you. These degrees are usually on campus not online. Many of us have twice over the number of hours a nurse has with an ADN plus online RN to BSN program. When I started working I was rewarded for my bachelors on the career ladder. Now it's for BSN only. How fair is it to change the rules in the middle or end of someone's game? Career nurses with years of experience being forced back in the classroom or early retirement?. Where is our grandfather clause? When did job and military experience stop being valued and acknowledged in the workplace?

A wonderful surgeon explained the nasogastric tube this way: a singing ng tube is a happy ng tube. In other words, the ng tube when functioning properly will make a whistling sound. It should never be leaking if working properly. The intermittent setting was for tubes without the vent to make the tube let go from the stomach wall. Since there is a vent, the settings should really be continuous medium setting. Air to the vent water 20-30 cc unless contraindicated to the main tube should get it flowing .
