    What are they teaching?

    Hoosier_RN replied to egglady's topic in General Nursing

    I posted earlier that she was recommended by a coworker that she was friendly with. Coworker is CNOs niece. CNO vouched for LTC nurse, as she knows her, I guess. In a case like that, while my manager...

    Hoosier_RN replied to friendlyskies's topic in General Nursing

    I agree to an extent. Not all graduates get a good orientation, or have someone reasonable to teach skills. My manager friend at hospital ICU says 1 nurse she recently hired from LTC has no clue on...

    What are they teaching?

    Hoosier_RN replied to egglady's topic in General Nursing

    APA isn't research, it's a typing format. And judging from research papers that I've graded in the past, APA formatting doesn't make the material any more valid than non APA format. So at that, yes,...

    Yep, that'll help you with a new role for sure. Most new grads also know APA (or software), but have never inserted a foley.

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

    I paid for mine, cash and scholarships, back in the day, when one could actually do that fairly easy. Reading totals now just blows my mind. If I'd had to take loans, it would have been for amount...

    I'm blown away by the amount. I didn’t even know that you could borrow that amount, whether government or private loans or a mix. I thought there was a cap to avoid this type of situation. If not,...

    NP: Age limit?

    Hoosier_RN replied to romantic's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't disagree at all; if someone's cognition is poor, they should not be working, regardless of age. But in 27 years, I have known many older providers (usually MDs) who are starting to slip, and...
