  1. MSN accreditation help

    I wonder if anyone can give me some good advice about MSN program accreditation. I am currently attending an online MSN program that is not CCNE or NLNAC accredited. When I started the program, I had no idea that the program was non-accredited. I ...
  2. Nurse managers-Do you think tattoos look professional?

    Haha. I disagree. I am an RN, and have travelled in over 100 hospital ER's and I have a TON of tattoos. I am very professional and work extremely hard. In the over 100 hospitals that I have worked in, I have NEVER been told or asked to "cover the...
  3. Trauma roon in your ED... who gets it?

    I have heard of this happening, but never seen it. And I have travelled in over 100 ER's across the US. The idea of the ICU nurse "coming down" for a trauma is a good idea to be a second nurse in the trauma, but I think it is a poor idea to assign ...
  4. to tell or not to tell

    Tell the board of nursing the truth. I know a nurse who decided that she would not tell them that she had been to a 3 day inpatient detox for alcohol. She became licensed as an RN, worked for two years, and then lost her nursing license when they f...
  5. Why are we even bringing up sexual orientation? This is the problem with the nursing profession- people who pass judgment enter it! lol. How about lets all go to work and enjoy our jobs, and not worry about what people think about us and lets not p...
  6. Just got my nursing license (LVN)

    Just read some NCLEX-PN study prep books and take the darn test lol. When you pass, look for a job. You will be oriented and will quickly be reminded of the things that you think you have forgotten. Don't be overwhelmed you can do it! And don't s...
  7. 17 year old Aspiring Male Nurse

    I'm 26 and am an male RN. I was in nursing school when I was 15 and 16 and became an LPN when I was 17. If you want to become a nurse start out by taking some of the general education courses. You will need to take things like anatomy and physiolo...
  8. LPN student on 2nd day of hospital clinicals

    Keep your head up. From reading your post I can tell that you care, which a lot of people lack. Likely that RN and CNA you mentioned didn't care! Don't take it personal when people don't treat you perfect, they are probably just angry at their job...
  9. Seeking Advice for LVN or RN

    If you've been accepted to an LPN program, go for it! Use your LPN education as a stepping ground to earn your RN degree. You will start earning earlier and gain experience. It seems like you are unsure if you will even get accepted to the RN prog...
  10. I disagree to your response. The fact is, whether MSN/CNL vs BSN vs ADN, a new graduate nurse is a new graduate nurse. An MSN/CNL would likely land a clinical job right out of school, just as an ADN or BSN prepared nurse would. If you were a manager...
  11. Also, don't pay much attention to the CNL title. Many places do not hire specifically a clinical nurse leader as a professional title, but ANYWHERE will hire you as an RN with an MSN. It is a very good route to take if you want to be a highly marke...
  12. A clinical nurse leader is a non advanced practice nurse route to graduate nursing education. Being a CNL will likely land you a nursing administration role and prospectively a position as a nurse executive, nurse researcher, or nurse educator. Lik...
  13. Well, I am guessing you could use me?!? I have been a nurse for 9 years but my education is as follows: I became an LPN 9 years ago, then finished an ADN program in 2006, and then completed a BSN program in 2010. Considering I just finished the BSN p...
  14. Any guys with visible tattoos?

    I am a nurse of 9 years and have both arms with sleeves, tattoos on my neck and legs, and my ears are gauged. I have not found a problem with my tattoos because I make it a point to always wear long sleeved undershirts beneath my scrubs so that my t...
  15. University of South Alabama FNP Program

    I applied to USA FNP program and did not get accepted. Got the letter today. Kinda sucks, but it aint the end of the world lol.. My gpa was low- like 3.1.. My experience in nursing has been ER/trauma, critical care, and nurse management. Maybe n...
