1. Why is it ...

   SwimRN10 replied to SwimRN10's topic in California

   You could be right, people's strong opinions come off as hatred sometimes I guess. As a new grad I know the struggle first hand. I just don't see the need to single out a group because they are trying to make a better living for themselves...

2. Why is it ...

   SwimRN10 replied to SwimRN10's topic in California

   I can say I have seen it on this forum, it wasn't as harsh as the one forum I was on .. Nurse RN Jobs Forum - New Graduate Nurse - Page 28 | Indeed.com , and of course in a working situation people don't actually talk about it in public..it's always...

3. Why is it ...

   SwimRN10 posted a topic in California

   Okay, I was reading a few forums and I am really taken aback by how much anger there is in the nursing community, the best word would be, hate there is toward Filipino nurses. I am just wondering what other people's take on this is... I mean, so ther...

4. NCLEX Tutoring

   SwimRN10 replied to cmarch2010's topic in NCLEX

   Honestly a tutor can"t be useful to anyone, Just keep on answering questions...I suggest the NCLEX 4000 RN ( it can be DL'd) .. You can pass it just keep positive!

5. Do you aspirate before giving an IM deltoid injection?

   SwimRN10 replied to seasalt1023's topic in Medications

   When I was in school we were told to always aspirate, I even witnesses a fellow classmate aspirate blood. She of course, pulled the syringe out and tried again with a new syringe. The only time we were told to not aspirate was with one shot needles, ...

6. Question about a student reporting RN mistakes

   SwimRN10 replied to dolphinbeauty09's topic in General Nursing

   You really should have made the RN aware because basically what you did was go over the assigned nurses head to tattle...basically from what you are saying that if this same nurse observes you caring out a order or procedure incorrectly that she shou...

7. Foreign BSN vs. Calif. ASN + debt

   SwimRN10 replied to NorCalKid's topic in General Nursing

   There are many schools that allow "2nd courses" into their nursing programs, it just takes some research and knowing what city or even island you plan to study at, I would say avoid mindanao...Just look for schools in luzon and the visayas...cebu is ...

8. Foreign BSN vs. Calif. ASN + debt

   SwimRN10 replied to NorCalKid's topic in General Nursing

   Many colleges in the Philippines do not take international classes so that would mean that even though you have taken pre-reqs they would make you re-take them. They are 4 years long including summers, so 3 summers...its basically year around with 2-...

9. Foreign BSN vs. Calif. ASN + debt

   SwimRN10 replied to NorCalKid's topic in General Nursing

   You're the only person that can really decide this, have you ever stayed in the Philippines for long periods of time? I mean I would say go for the BSN just because its more convenient and affordable. Plus when you do work in the US your money will b...

14. "You cannot have BSN or MSN on your nametag?"

    SwimRN10 replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

    Both ADN's and BSN's take the exact same NCLEX-RN... so, only having an RN tag on your name tag would make sense. I understand why people would be annoyed by not being able to place BSN on your name tag because it is an accomplishment, having put in ...
