  1. So.... How many years have YOU been a nurse??

    Amen.
  2. So.... How many years have YOU been a nurse??

    My mom became a nurse in 1961, still working. I passed my boards last October, started working in January. So I've been practicing 7 months. :)
  3. Same here. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
  4. Why the nurses get no respect...

  5. Best places to receive health care (USA)?

    WooHoo! The facility I work in was ranked in the top fifty in "Heart and Heart Surgery". How cool. I love my job and we have a nice facility with caring people. It's nice to see. :)
  6. Why the nurses get no respect...

    I didn't read everyone's posts on this one, I stopped at this comment Dave, you are a fool if you think that's ALL a RN does. And IF you finish school and pass the boards, I don't want to work with you. Also, I don't appreciate being lumped into...
  7. Does anyone sail through nursing school?

    In my school, there seem to be two different types of students (of those that graduated). The first was the student who aced all the tests, but was uncomfortable and sweated clinicals. The second (of which I am one) excelled in clinicals and sweated ...
  8. More jobs as BSN?

    There are more opportunities for BSN nursing, mainly in management. Not necessarily in bedside nursing. I am a ADN RN working toward my BSN. I recieved my ADN last year, have worked a year and will continue to work while I'm working on my BSN. There ...
  9. In the nursing classes, the programs are structured so that they build onto the information you received the class before. So you are constantly using what you learned before plus adding to it. That increases the workload. Good luck.
  10. I Passed! Zee_RN,CCRN!!

    :balloons: :balloons: Congratulations!! That's wonderful! :balloons: :balloons:
  11. Clinical questions

    Same here. The nurses during clinicals were fine. They were either very helpful and friendly or they just didn't have anything to do with us. Which was fine. As for the nurses I work with now, I can truly say they are a wonderful group of women (and...
  12. it's me again harassing other members

    I agree with Todd. You'll do fine. I would definitely utilize the help labs. :)
  13. I think that those who go into nursing find out pretty quickly that there's not alot of money in it. And some figure out in school that this is not what they want. Maybe that's why school is structured the way it is - to weed out. There was a guy in...
  14. BSN nurses

    I just wanted to add something. :) I do think that RN's need BSN's, however, I really appreciate the fact that I can work as a RN while working on my BSN. I feel like it makes me appreciate my degree that much more. :)
  15. New Stents

    We just started using them a couple of weeks ago (about the time this thread was started). We have also had pts put on hold waiting for shipments of the new stent. So far, no has had to wait more than a day.
