  3. Title of "BSN" on badge?

    I'm proud of what I have learned. I don't have them on there to impress anyone; I earned them and it makes me happy to see them on there. (No, I've never had a pt ask what any of the initials stand for-they could care less) :yeahthat: :yeahthat: :y...
  4. Title of "BSN" on badge?

    If you do things "just to pi$$ people off" you must be a joy and a pleasure to work with; a real professional. Letters after your name shows that you went to school and studied and accomplished something; it does not in anyway show whether or not so...
  5. A few questions for the "older" new nurses...

    I started school at 40. I had been a ST for 15 years. I was worried about being older-but about half of my class was near my age ( incl. two men) or even a few were older. You CAN do this. It takes a lot of hard work, but you can do this. I started...
  6. Chronic Kidney Disease

    Victor- There are two things that I find r/t the topic of your article; usually, and very generally there are two kinds of patients; the ones that are naturally compliant and those that will likley never be compliant with care. You could add a thi...
  7. Please Help!

    I can't think of many questions and answers except to have a clear idea of what you goals are and why you want them-and while it is a given that you want to help people, try to also think of other reasons; for me it was the growth and being able to u...
  8. A high school senior in need of advice :)

    I'd just like to know the basics (Ive read things online, but its better to hear from real working nurses). Is it real stressful, is it busy, are you always moving, are you treated well as a nurse by your co-workers and doctors, do you usually get at...
  9. WHen I worked L&D, a nurse I worked with had a great answer when someone asked her a health question-like at a party or something; "honey, I'm a L&D nurse, and unless you have a baby coming out of it, I can't help you." In addition to that, ...
  10. Managing Perceptions (male nurse/student in OB)

  11. Nurse practicing without license?

    I meant that all authorities should be notified, but not in your suggested order; we had an incident here where the local school board hired the dh of a teacher as a teacher "to help her out"; he had a AS in agriculture from an "open university"-he ...
  12. bombed on my final

    Don't give up; I can't say that it will be easy, but you need to go in and talk to the program director and find out what they suggest that you do; at my school, students who failed out were given 1st prefence for admittance the next semester. One g...
  13. Mom's in the hospital... (it's a little long)

    First off-"I know in the grand scheme of things nothing related to my mom was a huge deal..." it is a big deal; your mom wasn't getting good care, and having the ice packs changed, nutrition and pain management taken care of would facilitate her havi...
  14. Nurse practicing without license?

    . " can you pass this information onto the school, the BON, or an anonymous letter to the dept of education? " Sorry to post again, but I would skip the notifing the school or board of Education-they are guilty, and would likely (to my cynical thin...
  15. Nurse practicing without license?

    License = Nurse No License = Not a nurse What this woman is doing is illegal, and if the school knows about it, they are in trouble as well. I would report this this to the BON at the very least; it would be one thing if this woman was presented/...
