    Worried about instructors

    Maybe the OP misunderstood how these things work and is just a little overly-anxious. I agree with JBudd (as usual) deep breaths...in thru your nose, out through your mouth...think relaxing...

    Would You Accept Swine Flu Vaccine?

    I've been reading about how the swine flu vaccine may have an adjuvant, squalene, that has not been given in the US (except to certain military members). If the vaccine contains squalene, I'll pass...

    Are there nursing jobs or not?

    Thank you. I like Wyoming. I'm putting this hospital's info in my

    How early is too early for job searching?

    An excellent question. Maybe we should post this in our state-specific boards? The answer may be different in various areas. I've been wondering about this

    Sick of NURSES who say they HATE NURSING!! Another Vent

    Your frustration as an unemployed new grad does not eclipse, negate, or de-legitimize experienced nurses' feelings of stress or burnout. Both sides, unemployed new-grads and experienced nurses, have...
  7. I've seen ADN programs exceeding 85 credits. I think it's obscene for the degree-level being earned. I don't know how NLN lets their accredited programs get away with

    Any News on a Vaccine Yet?

    Vitamin D seems to be implicated in so many diseases and immune-modulated physiological mechanisms. Maybe my 90 minute swims in the morning sunshine may payoff, dermatologists be damned. (Yes, I...

    Disturbing Statistic..

    I wonder, if the virus blows up big in the fall (it might not), if this could turn into the next public outrage like we saw after Hurricane Katrina. Here's what I'm getting at: In a severe pandemic,...

    Any News on a Vaccine Yet?

    I did send an email and received no answer. Called the college office and was told faculty will not be responding to questions until next month, when the fall semester starts. Asked about the...

    Any News on a Vaccine Yet?

    Here's something I have not seen addressed: What about getting the vaccine to student nurses and clinical faculty? We see that health care workers are priority for the new vaccine, but...

    True? --> "RN's Can Work 3Days/Wk And Make A Good Salary!"

    Seeing the abuse cases in peds is horrific. I honestly don't know how peds nurses bear

    Questioning the Decision of Nursing

    Yes. I'm graduating in a few months, and fears of being in that specific "screwed" category keep me awake some nights. Only thing that lets me fall asleep eventually is that I'll bite the bullet and...

    ADN to BSN

    I think that has traditionally been the case, but some RN-BSN programs do allow ADN students to begin core RN-BSN coursework during the last year or so of their ADN programs. There are a couple state...

    True? --> "RN's Can Work 3Days/Wk And Make A Good Salary!"

    This is an interesting point you bring up. Before I began my pre-nursing studies, I was unsure about which area I wanted to work in, but I had a strong interest in psych. Then, when I actually went...

    True? --> "RN's Can Work 3Days/Wk And Make A Good Salary!"

    You are narrowing your odds by limiting yourself to days and specialty and location. We don't have a crystal ball, so we can't say what will happen. However, in this economy, I hear your...
  17. OK. I understand you aren't defending use of the original pledge. It is my opinion that there is too much religious baggage having to do with "purity" and controlling women's sexuality to use the...
  18. Some of these care-plans are longer than 20 pages. I had one that topped out at about 40-something
  19. Yes. I had to toggle between MLA and APA for one year, with multiple classes, and it was a challenge. Ever since, I've only had to deal with
  20. Daytonite, I assure you, I am thinking critically to solve patient problems. If only you knew me. Please hear us. This is not entirely the whining of students finding their way. I understand that...
  21. I completely agree. Each semester I have to relearn how to do care-plans for each clinical instructor. There is very little standardization; it's not a matter of higher demands as the semesters...

    Are nursing instructors really that bad?

    Some thoughts on this: No, it is not a common occurrence in nursing school. I have only had one clinical instructor who was unprofessional and downright mean. Thing is, this kind of experience could...
