They should be force to retire

Published

I have worked with a few old school nurses who weren't their anymore and they were making BIG nursing mistakes, but they still have the licenses. Now as hard as it to get one do you feel that they should be forced into retirement and stripped of their licenses?

`snif, snif` Frankly, I smell an agenda. The OP also has a thread up asking if all mentally ill people should have a guardian. I'd like to know, to what purpose doth he stir the pot?

There is a lot of strangeness to the OPs stream of vague questions in threads with weird titles.

I'm not a nurse yet, still applying to NS, but I'm excited for the day when I can work with older nurses who have so much experience and don't take crap from people. I love wisdom that comes from experience, not just thinking you have wisdom because you read a textbook :) I plan to learn a lot from them

Make that a jumbo bowl of popcorn!

Were they being reported or corrected? Anyone can make mistakes.

I have to say that as much as I'm learning in nursing school, I'm looking forward to working with older, more experienced nurses. They are going to be the ones the new grad nurses are going to be looking to for advice.

How could we give an adequate opinion without more details? Before I agree or disagree I need specifics..

Ah yes. I wonder if the OP is a nurse. Too often we don't know how much we don't know.

How can someone make a mistake if they are not there anymore? Are the teleporting?

Thanks for asking! No actually I was accepted at a school much closer to home starting this fall and a fraction of the cost!

By the way, it will take a little more than that to ruffle my feathers. I was not raised to be thin skinned.

Ah yes. Not even a nurse yet.

Are you implying that YOU are the only one that has a right to respond to a post?

Please enlighten me
