  1. Nurses with worse spelling than mine are laughable.

    I was just thinking the other day that we have now reached the point where all those little kiddos who grew up with computers and video games had had just about enough time to get through college and med school and are out among us. I was reading an ...
  2. Out of my element: need some advice

    Category: Peptalk My new grad job was ICU. What possessed me to apply I’ll never know, to think I could walk into a completely foreign planet like that with beeps and gizmos I’d never laid eyes on before, and the scariest of scary patients (my ICU cl...
  3. What makes a great RN to BSN program?

    This may be small potatoes in the big scheme of things, and perhaps not even what you are asking for, but one of the biggest frustrations of my BSN program were the group projects. I understand the concept, I understand the premise: As a BSN, one is ...

  8. WOW I needed that laugh!!! Thank you! Yes, I look at job boards like q1h, hoping that something will call out to me and save me from my current Lucy & Ethel fiasco (which is spot-ON btw!). But in all seriousness, I'm one of those people that is ...
  9. Help BSN final presentation/volunteer

    Well, I was gonna offer up until I read your last line. Why would you want suggestions from nurses that don’t know “real medicine” and are part of the “ridiculousness” of anything less than ARNP? That wasn’t nice, I think I’ll keep all my fabulous su...
