1. Abdominal pain??

   emrrn915 replied to turtles's topic in General Nursing

   emrrn915 replied to aggieamy5's topic in General Nursing

   It can be done but is not without a price. I worked 12 hour night shifts 5 nights a week for 9 months and while I was tired and dead on my feet most of the time I thought things went okay. The price I paid was this.. I have no recollection of my son ...

4. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

   emrrn915 replied to szccdw's topic in ADN/BSN

   I am just wondering about pay? If all nurses become BSNs I understand that we will all be considered "professionals" by some. I actually consider myself to be a professional now but that is my personal opinion. I highly doubt that if all nurses becom...

7. sick of ADN vs BSN! like most of us have a choice anyway!

   emrrn915 replied to okie2's topic in ADN/BSN

   I have been on this site off and on for the last 3-4 years and this argument is so old. I have read many threads regarding the big BSN v ADN debate and mostly they are ridiculous and it remind me high school or possibly even elementary school. When ...

8. Questions about Spokane

   emrrn915 replied to barbie90210's topic in Washington

   I do agree with the above poster. Spokane is a smaller city and it does lean to the conservative side. I really think that is because the majority of the population consists of families and middle class. I have noticed that over the last few years th...

   emrrn915 replied to barbie90210's topic in Washington

   I agree with the last poster make sure you do your research. Personally, I love Spokane and can not imagine living anywhere else. I was born and raised here and I did leave a couple of times for a few years but I have always come back. I have never h...

10. Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

    emrrn915 replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing
