1. RN with a BA or a BS and a Master's wants a BSN?

   NewMexicoJohn posted a topic in ADN/BSN

   I am sure there are other RNs out there who may already have a BA or a BS degree in another field, and some of us even have Master's degrees in other related healthcare fields. Some employers will not recognize any other BA or BS degrees even though...

   Good for you! I went back to school in my mid 40's and I find I am a better student now than I have ever been in my life. Nursing is a demanding and well respected field. You will do well. I envy your welding skills though! I have tried to do a ...

   King Cody, I say....step in to your AUTHENTIC self. Whatever that is. People will only see your competence and will immediately be grateful if you help them get well. If people don't understand you then there is a great opportunity for you to demons...

   Hey, Once you finish School you may want to consider the military. They have an EXCELLENT CRNA program. You do know how much the tuition is for CRNA school, right? If you can swing a military hitch, that's what I would do if I were your age! John

   I am going to start believing RIGHT NOW that things start getting MUCH better for you. We can all be REVERSE PARANOIDS. That means we believe that the universe is CONSPIRING to do GOOD things for us. You give good care to your clients. That has ge...

9. Constantly Getting Thrown Under The Bus by Fellow Nurse

   NewMexicoJohn replied to shining_star28463's topic in General Nursing

   I'd eat dog food right out of the can before I'd stay at a place like that. I agree with the previous post. Sprout a pair, stand up for yourself, or get the Heck out of there. It sounds like a bad soap opera. Seriously, start looking for another ...

    NewMexicoJohn replied to jrbl77's topic in General Nursing

    Look. Life is just way too short for that kind of immature nonsense. I doubt anyone in administration said "shut up or you'll be dismissed". If they have, try to document it covertly and then go to administration with your concerns and tell them i...

    NewMexicoJohn replied to agent's topic in Male Students

    Hey! Have you ever heard of the "COMMISIONED CORPS"? It's a totally cool military healthcare arm of the military. You can work for the federal government in any one of their hospitals. They pay a 20K student loan repayment once you get your RN an...

14. End of the Nursing Shortage

15. Gay male nurse stereotype?

    NewMexicoJohn replied to greygooseuria's topic in Male Students

    Brother.....why do you care what other people think about nurses, male of female. Hold your head up high and dare others to go where you have gone! Bravo for following your dreams. Be proud of who YOU are, whatever that is, and live a genuine life...
