1. Any RN to BSN Excelsior University Nurses Here?

   RN90 replied to Kamilah Coney's topic in Excelsior

   I totally understand. Everyone has their way of learning. I am a very independent learner and always hated "blanket" close supervision. Not that I don't need focussed supervision at times- but at this point I was already an RN with a diploma and seve...

2. Any RN to BSN Excelsior University Nurses Here?

   RN90 replied to Kamilah Coney's topic in Excelsior

   I was an internationally trained Diploma RN, initially registered for RN-BSN, but changed my mind and went for BSN with Excelsior College. I had moved to Canada by then, and have since completed an MA in medical anthropology and I will be completing ...

7. Any Mormon/LDS nurses here? I need help?

   RN90 replied to MaryFutureRN's topic in General Nursing

   JKL33 said it all- I have no children and nurses in all the 4 countries I have worked do lots of compromises for their kids' schedules- we who do not have kids do not judge them- why are people so eager to judge others when they ask for accommodation...

8. My children made the choice for me

   RN90 replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Stress 101

   Good for you. If you can afford financially, absolutely noble decision to take care of yr kids while they are young and needy. Many women do take off to raise young children and return to work at some point later. There is a lot you can do to keep a...

   RN90 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

   Hugs to you. Nothing to describe the pain of losing a loved one. It sucks. You were blessed to be able to say your goodbyes. Cherish those memories...and be strong, for now...

10. CMSRN or CCRN? Both?

    RN90 replied to Tomascz's topic in Med-Surg

    Ooops! My bad. I am only realizing this was about CCRN Vs CMSRN. I was thinking ANCC-not CCRN- which certifies multiple specialties including med-surg. I am considering med-surg certification as soon as I complete my masters, and I am debating betw...

11. CMSRN or CCRN? Both?

    RN90 replied to Tomascz's topic in Med-Surg

    I think there is some prestige to CCRN...I have no reason for thinking that way except its better known because it certifies multiple specialties. However, I prefer CMSRN because its specific to med-surg and I like its affiliation with the academy o...

12. BSN is a joke

    RN90 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Is "Qualitative" a level of evidence, though, or am I misunderstanding this? Qualitative methods have their own place and are not inferior to RCT or other quantitative studies. Rather, they can often work collaboratively to help understand and resolv...

13. "Allow LPNs to challenge the Board of Nursing to obtain RN licensure" viral post

    RN90 replied to TheRuralNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Quote from Truth-be-told This dis-ease knows no bounds. I have seen LPNs turned RNs look down on LPNs more than original RNs have. My motto- know who you are and be happy. Know what you want and get it. Claim what you have and respect what others h...

15. BSN is a joke

    RN90 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Quite the opposite of my disposition toward my BSN experience...I was a diploma RN for a long time before I did my BSN. I loved it. It made me fall in love with my career for opening up my world-view of nursing and healthcare in general. I learned to...
