1. Nurse to patient law

   EdBSN09 replied to Mirth's topic in Illinois

   Update: I was able to find out some more information myself. The bill is now called HB2548, and was again referred to the "rules committee" back in March of 2006. A full and complete text version is available here: Illinois General Assembly - Full Te...

2. Nurse to patient law

   EdBSN09 replied to Mirth's topic in Illinois

   Does anybody know the current status of this? As of 3/10/2005, the bill was "re-referred to the rules committee." (See Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB2544 ) What does this mean? Has the bill been dropped? Or is it just tied up in the h...

3. Grades--what does your report card look like so far?

   EdBSN09 replied to allthingsbright's topic in General Students

   At my fourth semester of an eight semester BSN program, I'm sitting at a 3.96 ("A" and "A-" grades). This was the semester that included Med/Surg and Pharmacology. Next semester may be different, though. I understand the peds instructor never gives a...

   21 y/o nursing student here. Was going to be a radiology tech straight out of high school, but decided that I wanted to be more involved in the whole process. I also started working at a level 1 trauma center as a registrar, and found the nurses' rol...

   EdBSN09 posted a topic in Male Students

   To begin, let me say that what got me interested in nursing in the first place was ER nursing. I worked at a small, rural hospital for a couple of years doing ER registration on the weekends, and then at a large, urban medical center doing the same t...

6. African-American male Nurse Practitioners

   EdBSN09 replied to Geoff's topic in NP

   While I am not African American, I am a male in the nursing world. It seems as if male nursing professionals are becoming more accepted, but there still aren't many of us. I'm one of three male students in my class of 70. I welcome the diversificatio...

9. Anyone ever think about becoming a radiology tech before nursing?

   EdBSN09 replied to ttran's topic in General Nursing

   I thought about it, as well. I chose nursing because of the pay, job outlook, and flexibility. Nursing is a totally unique profession. Radiology technicians also enjoy a lot of great career options, but I decided that nursing was the better fit for m...

10. Pay Scale for Flight Nurses?

    EdBSN09 replied to student4ever's topic in Flight

    I think nursing in general is a profession that you must have your heart in to succeed. By the same token, I don't think anyone should starve to death because they're doing something "because of his/her heart." -Ed

    EdBSN09 posted a topic in Management

    Hello, everyone, I'm a student currently pursuing my BSN, and I will graduate in 2008 (despite my name :-)). I'm interested in the informatics field, but even more interested in management. I do have a couple of questions, however. First off, after I...

    EdBSN09 replied to -Midget-'s topic in Informatics

    Very interesting thread. I'm interested in pursuing infomatics as my specialty, as well. After I graduate nursing school, I'm going to go to the local public university and go for a computer science degree. My hospital is getting ready to implement c...

    EdBSN09 replied to rclimbr's topic in Missouri

    EDIT I'm interested to continue this conversation with you, but perhaps it's not the best idea for me as an employee to post operating information about the hospital on a public forum. I sent my reply to you via PM. -Ed

14. difficulty in finding job while in school/st louis area

    EdBSN09 replied to carlarenee02's topic in Missouri

    Try St. Luke's Hospital in Chesterfield. Several people I know from school have gotten jobs there as PCTs. You needn't have any clinical experience--they'll train you. I think they've still got a few positions open, as well. http://www.stlukes-stl.co...
