    New grads being rushed into "nursing maturity"

    Jlm1206, It sounds to me as if you have put together an excellent plan for your nursing education as well as for the months in between classes. I'm willing to bet you will be a superior Nurse once you have completed your studies. Good luck in all o...

    What draws non-nurses to AN.com?

    My post was meant tongue in cheek, if it was not recieved that way, excuse me, but truth be told, this is yet another reason I count my blessing every day that I am retired from Nursing and no longer have to deal with... Have blessed day, I know I su...

    What draws non-nurses to AN.com?

    SAY WHAT? All of that sounds sexist to me. Seriously, I'm not overly concerned with the American Psychological Association; there's is merely a guideline and not necessarily a standard. It's funny how everyone is concerned with political correctne...

    What draws non-nurses to AN.com?

    I'm not attempting to start a big issue here, but I'm going to turn this around on you dansamy. Knowing that when you joined the group you too were a Patient Care Tech and a Nursing Student, what exactly did you have to offer to the group? Should w...

    What draws non-nurses to AN.com?

    Well dansamy, I am a nurse and probably have been for most of your life and I see your Profile still list you as a Patient Care Tech and a Student Nurse. I would imagine you just haven't bothered to update your profile, so I will give you that, mainl...

    New grads being rushed into "nursing maturity"

    I couldn't agree more and I can't help thinking if it were a male dominated profession, how different it would be. I just don't understand why it is that a group of educated women can't set down together and eventually form a consensus. But you're ri...

    New grads being rushed into "nursing maturity"

    Unfortunately, the State is usually going to side with the business interest over that of the employees, as they tend to share a mutual interest. Which was the point of my previous post. The more Nurses that can join together to make a collective voi...

    New grads being rushed into "nursing maturity"

    Please, excuse me if my comments offend you, they aren't intended that way. I am certain things are much improved from the way they were many years ago and attitudes have changed significantly for the better and after a great deal of hard work. Years...

    New grads being rushed into "nursing maturity"

    Actually, I beg to differ with you. The State Legislatures could play a pivotal role in the number of students that the indivual schools allow to graduate each year. The State Legislatures would then simply pass on to the Board of Education the new...

    New grads being rushed into "nursing maturity"

    I'm not exactly certain where to start, but since you decided to unload on my particular specialty with both barrels, start I will. I'm interested in what exactly you might consider your own personality, since everyone else in the ICU were deemed to ...

    New grads being rushed into "nursing maturity"

    The only problem with having an internship on nights is that there are far less procedures and therefore less learning opportunities in your average hospitals, then than there are on 3 to 11 and especially on 7 to 3. Or for those on 12's, 7a -7p. For...

    New grads being rushed into "nursing maturity"

    It has been lingering in the conversation, but never really said out loud, those Nurses who try to fast track themselves and skip over as many steps as they possibly can, are doing THEMSELVES a grave disservice. They should be taking every opportuni...

    LadyFree28, You almost made that sound as if it was something hard to believe. At any rate, I applaud your efforts to achieve your own goals in your own manner and not allowing roadblocks to be put in your way. As I said in another post, those in HR ...

    As I said, I was hopeful I was mistaken as that is a very drastic mistake and one I wish Hospital HR's and even Nursing Agencies and LTC facilities, would learn not to make.

    New grads being rushed into "nursing maturity"

    I'm afraid this is turning into a discourse where some of us will simply have to agree to disagree. I will never agree that a new grad should be allowed to cut their teeth in an intensive care unit as counted staff. If they are working under a Prec...
