  1. Would your institution hire an MSN w/o BSN?

    SummerGarden replied to chuckster's topic in General Nursing

    i think the odd requirements by employers (excluding the military) who require a bsn to go with the msn is because of the over abundance in supply of nurses who have both. also, job descriptions i...

    SummerGarden replied to dawadall's topic in General Nursing

    SummerGarden replied to traumaRN1908's topic in Government, Military

  13. ER Personalities

    SummerGarden replied to RN1298's topic in Emergency

    yes, assertive type-as all the way! op: the other type of personalities can be found in an er environment, but they do not last in my experience. the non-assertive and non type-as leave the er after...

    SummerGarden replied to juststartinout's topic in First Year After Licensure

    yep!!! if it makes you feel better, i have never worked anywhere but a hospital setting and i have felt as you have felt working in two hospitals. do not assume that if you are working in a hospital...

  18. Is this a specialty or is it even considered nursing experience?

    SummerGarden replied to rn865's topic in General Nursing

    if it is a nursing job, it is nursing experience. i think the er nurse was referring to acute care experience. most employers want acute care experience when hiring a nurse for a hospital position...

  23. High divorce rate among nurses? Why?

    SummerGarden replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in General Nursing

    maybe those nurses are more in tuned with self and know what they will and will not accept in life? or maybe being around psychiatrist all day and having to counsel people, they understand that their...
