3. Previous DUI and Nursing school admission

   Level2Trauma replied to RN2007's topic in General Nursing

   I will try to answer your question from my own experience. Prior to Nursing School I had TWO DUI's. When I first entered nursing school you had to list felonies. In my state three DUI's in 5 years is a felony...not two. So, I did not list them. Howev...

4. Is this patient suicidal?

   Level2Trauma replied to ceecel.dee's topic in General Nursing

   Nurse Ratched, Juding form your post....You either lack the "sense" or control or whatever you want to call it, to control your tongue. Don't apologize in one sentence and then repeat the same offensive statement in the next paragraph. Just my opini...

5. Is this patient suicidal?

   Level2Trauma replied to ceecel.dee's topic in General Nursing

   Nurse Ratched said, " May not have sense enough to know when to quit (or less sense than average!)" Alcoholism, or any addiction for that matter has nothing at all to do with the person's intellectual capacity... If this is the attitude you have to...

10. Some questions for all the nurses

    Level2Trauma replied to RNIAM's topic in General Nursing

    Regardless of how many times this topic comes up...the answers will always be biased. Those who have the higher degree believe, and rightly so, that they should be appropriately compensated for their education. Those who don't have a higher degree be...

12. Clinical hours for LPN, AAS, and BSN

    Level2Trauma replied to RNIAM's topic in General Nursing

    She may just be making up excuses for not learning what she should have learned in her clinicals. You see them...those that sidestepped, hid, procrastinated, avoided, etc. etc. ...and by the way, they're in every program... ADN, BSN, MSN...and believ...

13. Online Degree??

    Level2Trauma replied to BobFromER's topic in General Nursing

    You can also receive an online BSN degree from the University of Alabama. They initiated this program the year after I graduated (shucks). However, we did get to partake in the pilot program by taking one class online. It was absolutely wonderful. Yo...

14. Beating my head against the wall

    Level2Trauma replied to Nurse Ratched's topic in General Nursing

    Be careful......If she wants to go smoke, she will go smoke, whether "A NURSE" is with her or not. Don't know what type of disease she has but it doesn't sound like she should be going off without someone...we are liable while she is in our facility ...

15. Educated nurses

    Level2Trauma replied to curlygirlrn's topic in Activism

    This, among many other things, will help to keep our profession in the sub-standard category. Someone please tell me in what other profession does the attainment of a higher degree not come with the attainment of more money. Just curious.
