2. RN shortage

   AlmostANurse321 replied to lee1's topic in General Nursing

   There is a shortage of nurses with BSNs from legit programs who are willing to work the floor. There is a surplus of nurses with dumpster degrees from online or for profit colleges, who don't have the critical thinking skills.

5. Chinese births in U.S. hospitals?

   AlmostANurse321 replied to Plumrose15153's topic in General Nursing

   It's in the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, passed after the Civil War. They had to put it in the Constitution because those charming bigots down south wanted to argue that former slaves were not US citizens.

    This feels like homework.

12. Clinical site in a dangerous area?

    AlmostANurse321 replied to uknurse2b03's topic in General Students

    Unless you're in Syria, your fears are overblown. Has anybody from your program assigned to that site been the victim of a crime? You sound like someone who is unfamiliar with big cities. Most crime victims are caught up in the life, buying or sell...

13. Wannabe MDs in Accel Nursing School

    AlmostANurse321 posted a topic in General Students

    So a rant here. I'm in an accelerated 2nd degree nursing program. Most of the people are awesome, but there's one weird contingent. The people who didn't get into medical school, so they're intent on becoming DNP's. To be absolutely clear, I hav...
