  1. Applicants to PDX area Nursing Schools 2010

    CuriousMe replied to Rachel-EMT's topic in Oregon Nursing

    It's all about context though, so if this was an online community for "The Republic" instead of for nurses....having a moniker like DarthVader might be a problem! KurdMA, I'm sure it wasn't a...

  2. Nurses, Clients and Power

    CuriousMe replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone may be busy in the real world, but the stakes for prioritizing time badly are much higher for nurses than for the Starbuck's employee. The coffee barrister can take her clients first come,...

  3. Dog on the floor, what do you think?

    CuriousMe replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    not sure who's disputing that. what was also asked during this thread was folks feelings about non-service dogs coming on the floor to visit with a

  4. Dog on the floor, what do you think?

    CuriousMe replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    For the OP's situation, yes.....but since then the question came up about letting dogs on a unit to visit the

  5. Dog on the floor, what do you think?

    CuriousMe replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    I can only speak for myself on that one. I don't work in places that allow smoking....additionally, I know who the smokers are, so I avoid them to avoid the smoke on their clothing. Working in...

  6. Magnet Hospital Nursing Question

    CuriousMe replied to Dresdenchick's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen you post this in other threads as well. It is the only hospital I've heard of with that practice.....and is the opposite of the hospitals I'm familiar

  7. BP Medication

    CuriousMe replied to butterfly77's topic in General Nursing

    I was in a similar situation, I just said, "I'm not sure, what has your Doc told you to do in this

  8. Dog on the floor, what do you think?

    CuriousMe replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    1) I wasn't aware this was an either/or situation. I don't think either are appropriate. 2) I've yet to see a documented case of someone being allergic to a child, no matter their

  9. Dog on the floor, what do you think?

    CuriousMe replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    That's kind of the point though huh? We don't know who will have

  10. ACLS certification

    CuriousMe replied to jwconn1104's topic in General Nursing

    As a student, that's likely a question I wouldn't really know the answer to until it happened. I suspect, confidence would be the biggest hurdle. After my ACLS class I definitely think I'd be able to...

  11. Dog on the floor, what do you think?

    CuriousMe replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    Benadryl will do wonders for a secondary asthmatic reaction......sorry, couldn't avoid the sarcasm. It's that attitude that makes me grumpy when I wake up in the middle of the night coughing and...

  12. ACLS certification

    CuriousMe replied to jwconn1104's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm...I wonder who's requirement that is? After the first year of our (3 year) program, we're encouraged to take ACLS. It's one of the things that make us more competitive for preceptorship spots in...

  13. Is putting 'BSN' on badge snobbish?

    CuriousMe replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    No one said they did. They were answering the question "given what they knew about nursing and what nurses do." The point is, that they weren't coached or mislead to believe that ADN's weren't as...

  14. Is putting 'BSN' on badge snobbish?

    CuriousMe replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    quoted from the article you provided: well-prepared? when asked about the number of years of schooling they thought nurses should have after high school, 76 percent of the respondents said four...

  15. Is putting 'BSN' on badge snobbish?

    CuriousMe replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    Unless the there's evidence to support your assumptions (ie that the public was somehow mislead to believe that ADN RN's are inadequate) I think those are just that, you're

  16. Is putting 'BSN' on badge snobbish?

    CuriousMe replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I'm really not trying to make this about ADN vs BSN.....but I hate the generalizations. Most of my last year of my BS in nursing are in nursing classes. We needed 15 credits of upper level...

  17. Dog on the floor, what do you think?

    CuriousMe replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, pretty melodramatic! Should we have a fainting couch on standby? No one can "take away another person's happiness." Folks choose their own attitude, whether they recognize it or

  18. Dog on the floor, what do you think?

    CuriousMe replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    Well of course you'd love to have your pet with you. But that's a public place and it's not appropriate. So far it hasn't been a problem, but what if someone has allergies.... I really dislike this...

  19. Is putting 'BSN' on badge snobbish?

    CuriousMe replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    How many MD's went to med school that didn't award a doctoral degree? How many Lawyers went to a law school that award a doctoral degree? The reason RN's put BSN on their tag and other professions...

  20. Is putting 'BSN' on badge snobbish?

    CuriousMe replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting, but doesn't answer the question you quoted. Am I to understand that you are now saying that PhD should be listed because it's a terminal degree, as opposed to your last statement which...

  21. Dog on the floor, what do you think?

    CuriousMe replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    Don't service dogs have to have some kind of paperwork stating they are service

  22. Is putting 'BSN' on badge snobbish?

    CuriousMe replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    So, since your BSN didn't add anything to your practice, no one's could? I know you didn't explicitly state that, but there seemed to be that implication. Wanting to add BSN to a name tag doesn't...

  23. Is putting 'BSN' on badge snobbish?

    CuriousMe replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    Wouldn't Dr. be the title, and PhD be the degree that confers the

  24. Is putting 'BSN' on badge snobbish?

    CuriousMe replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    Other professions don't need to have it on their badge.....as it's unusual to have multiple entry levels of

  25. ITT Tech's New Program???

    CuriousMe replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I understand you wish it were different.....but with their rep, it's going to take more than one class of successful graduates to make a change to ITT Tech's reputation. Again, I'm glad it's working...
