2. Also Ran Careers... what did you decide against before choosing nursing

   bsnecu99 replied to JennInColumbus's topic in General Nursing

   OMG! I thought the idea of opening a daycare for sick kids was just my idea! I was going to research it for this area, but now that you are talking about horrible insurance costs, I think I'm going...

3. Is English required to be an RN?

   bsnecu99 replied to Jailhouse RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

   I'm sorry, are you a nurse? Or just a "consumer." If you are just a consumer you have no idea how illiterate some foreign doctors are. I also did medical transcription before becoming a nurse and...

5. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

   bsnecu99 replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

   What point? The only thing a patient's family wants a nurse to do is wipe the patient's bottom anyway. Or boost them in bed/Get them a pain pill/ Fill the water jug/Crank up or down the head of bed....

6. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

   bsnecu99 replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

   Hon, I guess you are a foreign nurse. ALL nurses on ALL levels require not only an education, but licensure. I had a license as a cosmetologist which meant I passed a written and a practical exam....

7. Is English required to be an RN?

   bsnecu99 replied to Jailhouse RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

   Yes, I have noticed that also, but not as much as foreign MDs and their discharge summaries! Ever read any of those nightmares? Wrong subject, wrong verb, run-on sentances, and so on. We used to...

   bsnecu99 replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

   I think you meant to say they ARE feigning education they do not have. Well, if an LPN is not a professional, I guess we can safely extrapolate that they aren't professional. Oh Lawdy, don't let an...

    bsnecu99 replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    Here we go again! Nurses ratting out other nurses! God, stop this madness! I really don't have any opinion about someone calling themselves whatever they want as long as they can walk the walk....

11. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

    bsnecu99 replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    Probably because the state board of nursing there did not care, they just wanted their money. Shoot, they could have called themselves, lovely princess nurses and the BON wouldn't care!

12. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

    bsnecu99 replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I believe there will come a time when EVERY nurse will be required to have a PhD to provide even minimal incontinent care. That is as it should be? It would end the fighting over whether an...

13. Question on most comfortable shoes

    bsnecu99 replied to RN123456789's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh, absolutely! SAS are the best nursing shoes! I buy them at my local uniform shop but probably any uniform shop can order them for you. Mind you, they are quite expensive, but not as much as...

14. $12 an hour?!

    bsnecu99 replied to HisTreasure's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If I had it to do all over again, I would definitely go for the LPN. One year, and you are out and working. Instead of taking four years and tens of thousands of dollars, not to mention four years...

    Dear Fellow Nurse, On some of your issues, I could not agree more. I do not know who thought of the ADN program, but if you will think for a moment, just WHO said it was a good idea? YOUR State...
