Yeah, I have read everything I can about the program but had yet to speak to anyone in it. The BSN program is two classes at a time and I find that is doable as I work full time as well. Thanks for...

I don't think hospital experience is a needed experience now as it was in the past. I did go directly to a med-surg floor and spent 2 years and still work PRN (more than I like) and I do believe for...

I wanted to add also that when you have a post-op patient with a low grade fever having them deep breath and cough and use their incentive spirometer will also decrease the low grade temp. As others...

It's hard for new grads. I've been out of school and at my hospital for two years. They are testing you, to see how you work, your abilities, and your attitude. I had this happen to me as well and...

Good for you! That boy was lucky to have you there. Although I agree with the others that your safety comes first!!! My husband was in a car accident 7 years ago. He was working out of town and...

I just accepted a job as IV infusion nurse for home health. Curious as to why others enjoy this specialty so much. I haven't started yet but I am so excited to leave the hospital for this specialty!
