1. Arnold Schwartzneiger says "We need to create more nurses"

   onmyway06 replied to Nathalie's topic in General Nursing

   Well, in my area it is ALL about the academics. They'll choose an unstable individual w/ a 4.0 over someone w/ a 3.0. I've seen it happen. Your last statement is getting old , hopefully intelligent nurses would have done some research on the nur...

   I totally agree! To the OP, sounds like you're working with a real bunch of 'characters'! :chuckle You're so lucky, too many stories out there about mean docs. Best wishes with your job. :)

4. NA's in the ED

   onmyway06 replied to Shadelyn's topic in Emergency

   Heres hoping you get the job!! You are soooo lucky, hospitals here won't hire NA's or even LPN's in the ER. I'm currently working in LTC, working on prereqs and hoping to get into the degree program very soon. Good luck! :)

5. What can an RN do than an LPN can't?

   onmyway06 replied to pdpeanut's topic in LPN/LVN

   Not here! If you are a licensed practical Nurse and would like to bridge into the BSN program, you can. You are placed in the 3rd semester of the BSN. In fact the LPN program here is a Diploma program and is two years. I've heard nurses say that ...

   onmyway06 replied to Nathalie's topic in General Nursing

   I hadn't read through all the posts, but wanted to make a comment. Yes, it is true that we need more nurses. Maybe if colleges and universities lightened up a little on the prereqs, allowed more individuals in with a 3.0 instead of the mandatory 4....

   onmyway06 replied to jtejas1968's topic in General Students

   it's funny. a friend of mine who just graduated with her rn and bsn told me alot of the nclex questions are critical thinking. the answer hits you if you read the question carefully. like another poster said, weed out the obvious wrong answers. i...

13. "Just" a nurse? You can do so much better!

    onmyway06 replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in General Nursing

    Great letter! As with people saying 'just a nurse, you are much smarter', it really really bugs me. I'm entering a program soon and must achieve a 3.5 GPA or greater to get in. You have to be just as smart as a doctor to be an RN, especially if you...
