1. Discrimination Against Men in Nursing

   buddhak0n replied to Demonsthenes's topic in Men

   Just a novel concept.... Let's make the Nursing and medical profession the same as like any other "business" profession.. you know like one where if you don't complete the project, or close the sale, or build the boat, or roof the condo... you don't...

2. ADN vs. BSN for Entry Level Nursing

   buddhak0n replied to pattycakebaby's topic in ADN/BSN

   Hey it's just my two cents but take the FASTEST path to a RN which would be the ADN program and THEN after you get yourself in the door of a Hospital or whatever facility you wish to work.. MOST of them have continuing Education programs whereby if y...

3. Any ACTUAL Second Degree BSN/RN's?

   buddhak0n replied to buddhak0n's topic in ADN/BSN

   I say this with 100% certainty, there is not a true "nursing" shortage... if there were why would there be "Per Diem" nurses and Nurse managers and "agency" nurses.. If there truly were not enough nurses to care for a community or any private hospi...

4. Any ACTUAL Second Degree BSN/RN's?

   buddhak0n replied to buddhak0n's topic in ADN/BSN

   See that's what I COMPLETELY Do not get...... How can any course be TOO OLD? They should have to under federal law give you the opportunity to test your proficiency in any subject area before uniformly declaring a prerequisite as "too old" ... Under...

5. Any ACTUAL Second Degree BSN/RN's?

   buddhak0n replied to buddhak0n's topic in ADN/BSN

   I'm not lacking compassion for those that are sick or injured. I'm questioning more the "necessity" of certain educational requirements as barriers to entry into the field. The two are quite distinct. Sorry you felt it was disrespectful but serious...

8. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

   buddhak0n replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

   This is one of my favorites... LOL.. sorry too many of these stories seem "concocted" for their shock value.. I'm sure there's one or two that have some basis other than the overworked, impressionable brain here or there but not many.

11. Gen X learners preferences

    buddhak0n replied to pwaszgis's topic in General Nursing

    I believe they call them Generation "Y" but I think the Disciples of "Tattoo" is more appropriate. Sorry but WAY off topic is my speicality... I'm sure they have better names than that but there's a couple.

12. please give advice/Orientation from hell

    buddhak0n replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes that's just one personality... I'm doing a clinical at the local County Hospital hoping to work there at the end of the "trial" or "training" period... and during that time I get to meet everyone I could be working alongside... Some people ...

13. HELP- How bad is it to leave job after < 1 year?

    buddhak0n replied to scrubby bubby's topic in General Nursing

    I would ask for a Short term or if necessary a LONGER term Leave of Absence.... Be upfront about what your issues may or may not be.. If it's something you'd rather not discuss then say so.. H.R. at most places will be accomodating so long as you are...

14. why are we technicians?

    buddhak0n replied to FlGasman's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not trying to "attack" you just let you know what I think and I just thought you were wasting a whole lot of time on what everybody ELSE thinks about YOU. I would support you in whatever you do.. sure... but you've got to move beyond what other p...

15. Any ACTUAL Second Degree BSN/RN's?

    buddhak0n replied to buddhak0n's topic in ADN/BSN

    I actually completely AGREE with you although you may not think so. What I'm saying is that the educational REQUIREMENTS are simply a bare minimum to entry into the profession. The true test of whether a nurse or any practitioner for that matter is a...
