  1. Need a BSN for what again?

    ModernRN posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am having trouble understanding why an ADN RN needs to go back to college for a BSN? I've heard because there is a lower mortality rate with BSN nurses because they have higher critical thinking...

    ModernRN replied to ModernRN's topic in General Nursing

    ModernRN replied to ModernRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the answer realistically is to leave as I have worked very hard to be where I am today and have spent a lot of time and money to go to school. I know I am just one life but its mine and...

  7. Don't do the physicians work!

    ModernRN posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Please nurses, stand up for yourselves and the patients! Healthcare is evolving to the physicians doing hardly anything and putting all responsibility on the nurse. I feel the shift is for the doctor...

  13. Don't do the physicians work!

    ModernRN replied to ModernRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    ModernRN replied to ModernRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes you are BSN16! The goal is to eliminate ALL verbal order entry by nurses! ALL!! The doc can put in the Levophed order himself when he takes his ass to a computer or chart. Stop kissing ass and...

  18. Don't do the physicians work!

    ModernRN replied to ModernRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
