6. Working during AP BSN (not RN to BSN)

   CriticalCareRN1 replied to flyingauntmimi's topic in Texas (UTA)

   If you care about your grades, do the recommended hours. The program just get worse as you progress--time management was a killer for everyone. I graduated magna cum laude, and only found myself working 8hrs wk my last semester, if that.

7. Online BSN degrees being accepted by hospitals?

   CriticalCareRN1 replied to Imnokie4now's topic in Texas (UTA)

   What you've heard its true in some places. What I have been told is not to say it is online. If they ask where your clinicals were, then just tell them where your clinicals were. The main concern is the accreditation.

8. You sure can pass the NCLEX in 265 questions!

   CriticalCareRN1 replied to Kasey-RN's topic in NCLEX

   That must hhave been a heartbreaker knowing that the system felt you weren't passing at 75. Mine fortunately shut off at 75. But I was ambivalent as to what that meant immediately after the exam. Did I pass or fail? ?! Fortunately, I passed. So happy...

   CriticalCareRN1 replied to desertstar6's topic in Professionalism

   I think the responses regarding to relax the hair for a job interview goes to show the continued bondage of the Black Nation. I'm not releasing the ethnicity I am, because it really doesn't matter when you have a person of color having doubts as to h...

11. Why are culturally stereotypical behaviors so tolerated?

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to mclennan's topic in Professionalism

    @toomuchbalo... re-read the post you're commenting on. Clarity in reading and understanding the content is a must, especially when responding to someone. No one said they didn't teach it ("they may or may not"), LOL!! But those of you who have done ...

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to mclennan's topic in Professionalism

    @joyouter, interesting comments. Just speaking for me, cause I can't speak for anybody else, but I knew management was the problem and misunderstanding a "culture," if that's what the the OP and other posters say that the behavior these group of peop...

    Im currently watching this show called xploration earth 2050, and it did a segment on this machine called Xenex X, which uses UV-C rays to kill hard to kill bacteria/viruses in the hospital. Does anyone have this in their hospital?

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to mclennan's topic in Professionalism

    @eroc, great! But you fail to read in my post that this is a "learned skill" that just needs to be practiced over and over, which is why YOUR organization must PROVIDE ONGOING CLASSES to SUPPORT what you learned. If learning everything you learned in...
