    Multicollinearity replied to gkvegan's topic in General Nursing

    There is conflicting research. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15365133 Also note the related citations in the upper right corner. One study supports a correlation between demyelinating disease...

    Hepatitis B Vaccine Safe?

    Multicollinearity replied to gkvegan's topic in General Nursing

    my md mentioned the this, but he also said the evidence is "flimsy, but intriguing." i chose to get the hep b vaccine anyway because i have more concerns about getting it in a health care setting...

    Is having a ADN useless these days?

    Multicollinearity replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Further, this is not about a lack of respect for ADN nurses or their education. I am an ADN nurse. I know how hard the programs are. I saw more than a couple classmates with prior BS/BA/MS/MA...

    Is having a ADN useless these days?

    Multicollinearity replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The difference is not a matter of a couple theory classes. I see this frequently on allnurses, and it is incorrect. We have posted examples of courses required for RN-BSN programs. It is typically...

    Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing versus Doctor of Nursing Practice

    Multicollinearity replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    llg, The DNP programs I've been looking at are pretty typical of this one: http://nursing.arizona.edu/DNP_ms-dnp.htm However, I haven't looked at a lot of programs. The program requires 43 credits to...

    Have you gotten your CCRN yet? That's something to work towards as an ICU nurse. Have you noticed if you go through a pattern of feeling this way in the

    Is having a ADN useless these days?

    Multicollinearity replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    AnneS, I'm sorry if you are feeling attacked. I honestly didn't intend that. The answers to your above scenario are found in the core nursing courses required in an RN-BSN program. This is...

    Is having a ADN useless these days?

    Multicollinearity replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Let's reverse this for perspective. Would any nurse with a BSN go to a non-nursing employer and apply for, say, an engineering job because they have a BS degree and the job requires a BS in...

    Is having a ADN useless these days?

    Multicollinearity replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Is having a ADN useless these days?

    Multicollinearity replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This thread has really degenerated. So much for pragmatic discussion about the changing economy, career outlook, and nursing degrees. Can't we lose the defensiveness on all sides and just talk about...

    Texas: Methodist Hospital Moves To Hire Only RNS' with BS degree

    Multicollinearity replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    True, an associate degree is not a fair degree for the amount of work. My ADN was 88 credits, and one of my instructors said the NLN was forcing the school to reduce the number of required credits...

    Is having a ADN useless these days?

    Multicollinearity replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Some courses are only tangentially related to the practice of one's profession, but weed out based upon intelligence. It benefits the profession to have members with higher levels of intelligence....

    Is having a ADN useless these days?

    Multicollinearity replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The science courses in my RN-BSN program and all of the programs I looked at did not differ for traditional BSN v. RN-BSN. The math classes did. I had to take university-level math (higher than...

    Is having a ADN useless these days?

    Multicollinearity replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't think anyone is questioning the impressive careers many, many ADNs have been able to cultivate in the past. Rather, I think the relevant question is this: is the current economy shifting and...

    Beta-blocker administraion error?

    Multicollinearity replied to Bosco15's topic in General Nursing

    I was taught to give coreg and another beta blocker two hours apart, and never at a closer interval. That's in a stable patient, though. I have no idea about critical care &

    Is having a ADN useless these days?

    Multicollinearity replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Since the economy has turned to crap and the so-called nursing shortage has gone away in many areas, it's interesting to see how some employers are strongly favoring new grad BSNs over new grad ADNs....

    Is Nursing School Hard?

    Multicollinearity replied to BecomeNurse06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing school theory classes were not hard for me at all. Clinicals were another story. Clinicals were hell on Earth to me because I had such anxiety and terror that I was going to make a mistake...

    It's particularly bad for new grads in Tucson. Glad I'm not trying to crack that market anymore! Many of my new grad classmates from last year are still
