   BSN is a joke

   l150 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

   I work in a major metropolis and ALL the hospitals told the nurses also in the early 2000s, so I completely understand what you are saying. Any that had LPNs told them they had to become a RN within a certain amount of time or leave or retire if you...

   Which school to go to ?

   l150 replied to l150's topic in Online Learning

   I don't have any med-surg or acute care. Just LTC. But how can you remember a 500 + page study guide ? I know it is a test, but how many mistakes can you make before you fail ?

   PMHNP programs all going from MSN to DNP?

   l150 replied to shannarini71's topic in NP Students

   I think this absolutely nuts. I looked at what a PAs education and salary is . I wonder why they can have still only a masters degree and a nurse has to get to back to get a DNP, but the same or nearly the same pay. I am all for education and profes...

   l150 replied to michellezlpn's topic in Excelsior

    l150 replied to umdgrad's topic in Advanced

    I believe who ever said if you want t o be a MD , be a MD. If you want to be a NP , be one. I am also pursuing to be a NP. And like you I did pre-med, But sometimes life has a way of taking you in a different direction. I think someone said you don't...

    Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    l150 replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    I am so glad you would not be my nurse. If you came in my room with that crap I would kick you out immediately. Do you honestly believe this ? You can give a reality check without a guilt trip. You will learn this when you become a good nurse.

    LVNs training RNs???

    l150 replied to JStollRN's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on what state you are operating in the scopes of practice for both. Someone said LPNs don't do PICCs. DEAD wrong. Where I work they can and IV pushes. You can't make generalizations thank you.
