2. Too many Negative remarks regarding Nursing School here!! Stop the discouragement!!

   user9876 replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

   honestly, you make a good point. if you read this forum too much and let it get into your brain, they'll all have you thinking this is brain surgery. i'm sorry but a lot of people get through much tougher programs for longer periods of time than it t...

3. WHen can a NG in ICU go back to school?

   user9876 replied to holdensjane's topic in General Nursing

   i'm assuming she means to start working on her masters. it depends on the school and which program you're wanting to specialize in, for some sepcialties it's 1 year of experience and for some it's 2 (at my school anyway). i suggest doing it as soon a...

   the DNP at my school requires a masters degree, and you have to have 2 years of experience to start the masters program after completing your bachelors.

6. Is this career right for me? Sharing some thoughts!

   user9876 replied to EnduringFaith's topic in General Nursing

   nursing is a great career which will offer you a lot of options, but the truth is, you will never really know if it's for you until you try it. i suggest do observation first, though, to see if it's something you could see yourself doing. for me pers...

8. shootings and mental health

   user9876 replied to snowfreeze's topic in General Nursing

   i suppose they realized he was "off", but just never really thought he'd hurt anyone. i mean, his mental diagnosis deemed him a "danger to himself", but not a danger to others. so.. who knows..

9. Help with announcement wording

   user9876 replied to rsauten's topic in General Nursing

   IMHO, if you're sending out graduation invitations without actually inviting the people you're sending them to, it's basically just looks like you're asking for money/gifts.

10. shootings and mental health

    user9876 replied to snowfreeze's topic in General Nursing

    honestly, i think it's a mistake to think that we can "fix" all problems. it just doesn't really work that way. it's easy to speculate in hindsight, and i realize that's what everyone is doing, especially the media.. but like they say, hindsight is 2...

13. Should I tell my friend that she is dying?

    user9876 replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad someone said this. He might not so much be intentionally "lying" as he is just trying to hold on to hope. I mean, she's not dead yet guys! He might not be wanting to give up yet. He might be afraid that telling her she's dying will cause her...
