1. pathway to be a forensic nurse?

   Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to tsalvado's topic in Forensic

   You don't need a BSN, an associates in nursing will work just fine. :) Once you do that, you need to get certified as a FNE, SANE-A, or SANE-P, depending on what you'd like to focus on. Forensic nurses can do death investigation, pediatric sexual ass...

   You're right. I wasn't trying to be rude.

3. SANE training

   Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to syranurse's topic in Forensic

   To you and anyone else looking for training programs in the US, I'd look at the sane-sart site. It has a program locator. Either way, it looks like Meriter Hospital has a SANE program in your area. The contact info is on this site as well. http://ww...

6. How to get 'Experienced' RN jobs?

   Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to Wanna_BA_Nurse's topic in Career Support

   Thanks! It helped a lot! I guess it was a stupid question now that I know the answer, but I was under the assumption that RNs could not apply to do an LPN's job. Oh well! Yes, thank you very much!

7. Therapy for me....

   Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   You can't catch a break, can you? You have it pretty rough when it comes to going back to school. I can't pretend I have any good advice for you, but I will say to stick it out. Like Klone said, if it is a dream, you'll get there eventually. Don't ru...

8. 17 year old Aspiring Male Nurse

   Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to copib2's topic in Male Students

   What he says is right. I must add though, do not get discouraged. Nursing school is designed to keep the people who don't really want it out and the ones who do really want it in. It is supposed to be difficult (you're responsible for someone's life!...

9. Male OB Frustration

   Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in Male Students

   That nurse seems a little immature and highly unprofessional. Jeez. Did you tell the DON? She can't treat you like that. It may not be a big deal to you, but that is technically harassment. I'm sorry. I can say that if I was a patient, I couldn't car...

10. 17 year old Aspiring Male Nurse

    Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to copib2's topic in Male Students

    I can't speak from personal experience, but I am also (as you put) "no einstein" ESPECIALLY in math! Ugh! But I know I will make it through. You just have to be motivated (and organized lol). It is normal to be worried about it (and you should). I su...

    Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to SweettartRN's topic in Relations

    You take him out of there! That is so unprofessional of her to hang UP on you! What nerve! Poor guy.

12. Since when is it okay to brag about abusing a patient?

    Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to kristieRNsn2bFNP's topic in General Nursing

    Here is someone with WAY too much time on her hands. What happened happened - you can't change the facts or what the nurse who actually did the deed thinks of them. You can sit here and trash-talk the forum whilst using it, and further stir the pot, ...

13. How to get 'Experienced' RN jobs?

    Wanna_BA_Nurse posted a topic in Career Support

    Hello fellow student nurses and nurses! I have been looking at job postings on various sites and (to make a long story short) I keep seeing that they require one year experience as an RN. Well...once I start looking for a job that is just it - I'm L...

14. Torn between continuing my education and my family :(

    Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in General Nursing

    If having the letters RN after your name is a dream for you then go for it (eventually)! From what you've described it doesn't sound like your environment is stable enough for you to continue your education. Going to school right now may further str...

15. Nursing and Forensics ???

    Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to 8856's topic in Forensic

    There are many sub-specialties in forensic nursing. The ones I am aware of are SANE (Sexual assault nurse examiners - they help and gather evidence from rape victims), FNDI (forensic nurse death investigators - they help coroners), Forensic Psychiatr...
