2. Question for nurses, nursing students, and CNA's.

   honey2000 replied to kamaboko's topic in Oregon

   I am appalled that schools would purposely fail students. That is terrible. I do remember some of my instructors seemed to be nicer to the students who seemed to represent their "ideal" of what a nurse should look and be like. Those who didn't mee...

8. Kid fell off bike: what would you anticipate?

   honey2000 replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Emergency

   I don't think there has to be LOC to diagnose a concussion. I've taken care of plenty of people who weren't KO'd that were obviously suffering from a concussion. I pick option 1. How he is currently acting and looking is an indicator. Neuro exam,...

9. ADN or BSN??

   honey2000 replied to Sings&Shoots's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you have the time and the money get your BSN. It opens more doors for you. If all you want is to do bedside care then an ADN will be adequate. As far as who is a better nurse?? That has nothing to do with what degree you have, that comes from ...
