    I want to be a nurse with a 9-5 job w/ weekends and holidays off

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    A lot of nurses believe that. The angels here on earth

    Is my (50K) BSN worthless?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to boxofrain's topic in General Nursing

    Your BSN gives you greater access to the non bedside opportunities you are looking for. Not a waste at

    Head lice

    MrNurse(x2) replied to RNKT's topic in School

    It is not the place of the school to do what parents must. That should be the standard and universal response. Lice is a parent issue, and my son had lice from a friend of his who happened to be a...

    New grad nurse - how long did it take you to feel like you knew your job?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    The only stupid question is the one you didn't ask. Most experienced nurses don't mind questions and are wary of new nurses who don't ask. This is a career, not a job, and experience is key. I...

    How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    It always amazes me when people knee jerk respond or plain don't have decent reading comprehension. The statement was made about BSN specifically and is the logical flow of the statement. Really makes...

    How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    This is a truth in the northeast. I have talked to nurses from universities from Virginia to Maine, and the response is very

    C'Mon Now!

    Looking into insurance case management, home based. I have three decades bedside, I think I can comfortably step away from the

    How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    I never said that credentials mean less experience EXCEPT in a BSN prepared nurse (meaning that is the initial path to RN). Obviously once they have a few years under their belt, that all evens out,...

    How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    I have oriented BSN's. I am the least of those when it comes to NETY, I am a champion for new nurses. You can not fake hours on the floor. BSN prepared nurses have the least amount of hours on the...

    How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    So, the importanter was intentional, sorry that you are obtuse. There is no there in my whole paragraph, you are wrong, but pompous, all the same. I am an RN with an ADN, 30 years of experience. Some...

    How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    Remember, I have a lot of career to look back on, the specifics may be off, but I know I worked with a nurse who got her CCRN as soon as you could. I also worked with a valedictorian from a...

    How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    I am referring more to degree designation, but, let's run with the criteria for CCRN. I am critical care, so I have experience in the process. I have seen a nurse get this certification after one year...

    How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that education is important, but experience is importanter (kinda scared autocorrect didn't come on) and from a patient standpoint, I would want to see RN, no letters. Bedside, give me the...

    Bedside Nurses: Undervalued, Poorly Retained and What Experts Say

    MrNurse(x2) replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    After three decades in bedside nursing I have seen it change immensely. My experience has seen better staffing ratios, but sicker patients. The biggest change I have seen is in managerial support. I...

    High School Sports Physicals

    MrNurse(x2) replied to CrazySchoolNurse's topic in School

    It really boils down to an entitlement that paying for an education is also paying for privilege. Our private school has changed in the past two years. The demographics used to be older parents who,...

    C'Mon Now!

    MrNurse(x2) replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Thanks, but I think everyone here would make sacrifices for their children. This school is very small and pays the teachers half what the county pays. There really is no budget for a nurse, hence why...

    C'Mon Now!

    MrNurse(x2) replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I am here for my son. He graduates June 1. This is in addition to my FT job, which I also am transitioning. After 30 years of night shift, I am getting a "real" job, Mon-Fri, holidays and weekends...

    Patient had Fall, my fault

    When I worked LTC we were told the residents had a right to fall. I say, bully! bully! Way to exercise your rights,

    What is the latest you’ve been called in while being on call?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to nburg003's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mind the late call in, I work nights, so the sleep is appreciated. What irks me is when they put me on call at 5PM and I get a call that I have to come in at 6:15 PM and they don't allow the...

    Bullied psych nurse commits suicide

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Rocknurse's topic in Nursing News

    No, she is in high school. She went to my school and was able to observe her and she frequently came to my office, as we had no counselor. I believe you may have been at the lower end of your class,...

    C'Mon Now!

    MrNurse(x2) replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    After a major win two years ago, the new handbook was released (the old one said there was no nurse, despite me being here for four years) and stated we exclude for lice ? We are only here until June,...

    High School Sports Physicals

    MrNurse(x2) replied to CrazySchoolNurse's topic in School

    I work at a private. Thankfully it is unconventional in terms of educational model, so the Principals (two owners) allow all medical issues to our discretion. They realize the legal implications of...

    EMR--what do you use?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Csn2016's topic in School

    We use RenWeb, a web based suite. We could customize and I love it, we can email parents our documentation as we do it, so contacting parents take zero time out of our
