    New Grads and Acute Care Hiring

    Hoosier_RN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know quite a few new nurses of both ASN and BSN who don't know their butt from a hole in the ground. Some programs are better, regardless of degree attained. It's the quality of the

    Prepare Nurses to Pass NCLEX, or Prepare Nurses for Real World?

    Hoosier_RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Schools teach to the NCLEX because of the all important pass rates needed to stay in business. Students don't get the same education that I got 30ish years ago, that taught me to learn in depth and...

    New Grads and Acute Care Hiring

    Hoosier_RN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    Most of the time, they aren't leaving the position open as opposed to hiring a new grad. An internal employee has been selected for the day shift, and an external employee is hired, be it a new nurse...

    New Grads and Acute Care Hiring

    Hoosier_RN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, because we had that then as well. We were taught how's, why's, and when's so that we could take care of any situation from the time we got those letters behind our names. Yes, technologies have...

    New Grads and Acute Care Hiring

    Hoosier_RN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    I went to my mom's retirement party. Drs-many retired, retired nurses, many working nurses, many administration/execs-again many retired, came. They talked about awe and respect for that generation....

    New Grads and Acute Care Hiring

    Hoosier_RN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    Many years ago (15-20 or more) we did hit the ground running. There weren't the long residency programs. We were given a few days to a week to fill out forms, learn location of supplies, and p&p,...

    Trump’s assault on Postal Service and voting is a plot against American democracy

    Hoosier_RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I know you're not American, so yes, it will change how you view our elections. I wish we had the luxury of 8 parties. Or at least more than 2 that are taken seriously. I voted Libertarian for quite a...

    I wanted to add, that a friend of mine made the comment that if we're going to have an old, crazy president, why can't it be Betty White. A little humor on a currently tense

    Trump’s assault on Postal Service and voting is a plot against American democracy

    Hoosier_RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Very much so. Listening to the squawking from both parties is so irritating. I won't turn on any news channel anymore. If a political ad of any kind comes on TV or the radio right now, I turn the...

    Is it frowned upon by supervisors and coworkers if a new grad nurse pursues DNP?

    Hoosier_RN replied to jeexrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    We should cheer our coworkers on for sure. But there's always going to be some that don't. They can work to make life a living nightmare for someone who just want to better themselves. Most of us have...

    Need Advice, No Longer Able To Be A Nurse

    Hoosier_RN replied to Just Peachy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm going to be honest. Yes, you may try another school, but 3 times dropping is a concern. Yes, this last time was a huge family issue, but what about the other 2 times? Be prepared to be questioned...

    How much do you owe in student loans?

    Hoosier_RN replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    100% agree. I owe 0 also. Never had a student loan. Saved money, used tuition assistance and scholarships, and pursued low cost education options (CC, state U for BSN bridge, online MSN). Some of the...
