    Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

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

    Even if this story is true, I doubt it was ADN vs. BSN. For example, the other hospital could have had trouble with bad moral and as a result retained sub-optimal employees. I suspect it is too...

    Drug testing?

    Multicollinearity replied to Mike1974's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, I was able to keep the new job. I was without pay for about a week while waiting for the results. As soon as the results came back from the more comprehensive test, I was called to come back in...

    Are most nursing students cruel?

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

    Ok, I'm going to play devil's advocate. Maybe these 'mean' nursing students are stressed out due to the rigors of nursing school and tired of pre-nursing students bugging them. Pre-nursing students...

    Multicollinearity replied to nurz2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is really interesting! I've never heard of a BSN program like that. Every BSN program I've ever seen has the core nursing classes only during the junior and senior years, and generally they have...

    2-Year Nursing Students

    Multicollinearity replied to nurz2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't understand this statement. BSNs are 120 credits over 4 to 4.5 years. ADNs are typically 60-85 credits over 2-3 years. For the two ADN programs I'm applying to, the average credit load while...

    Multicollinearity replied to faithful11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hear you. It took a tremendous amount of work to get the classes I needed at my university. I had been spoiled from my community college. It was so easy to get your classes there. I eventually...

    Wheres God?

    Multicollinearity replied to derngrad06's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Actually, I did not intend to trivialize your situation in any way. Quite the contrary. It is a very big deal. I just re-read your posts. I didn't notice at first that it looks like you believe in an...

    Wheres God?

    Multicollinearity replied to derngrad06's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Here's my opinion. There is no god. God is what you don't understand that you hope is good or powerful. In generations past, god was the rain or thunder. So in 2007, god is behind your NCLEX...

    Letters of reference-what to do?

    Multicollinearity replied to Mrs. Nesbit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What about earning top grades and developing good relationships with your professors? Then you could ask them to write you letters of reference. That is what I'm doing. Otherwise, have you been...

    Professional courtesy from police at traffic stops

    Multicollinearity replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I recently received my first speeding ticket. I had not had one in my entire life. I was going 89 in a 75 mph zone on the highway. Get this - in AZ it can be a criminal charge. Not all cops choose to...

    Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    Multicollinearity replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    One says, "An RN" because audibly the sound is 'aur' when pronouncing RN. On the other hand, when saying, "I am a registered nurse" one says 'a' instead of 'an' because of the audible consonant...

    Nurse who never sets foot in a hospital? Possible??

    Multicollinearity replied to sherrilynn71's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what I have gleaned from a long time of reading this board - new grads need at least one year of hospital experience before going on to other jobs outside of the hospital. It gives that real...

    alternate ways of treating borderline personality disorder

    Multicollinearity replied to hsieh's topic in Psychiatric

    I posted that number about those with BPD and suicide over a year ago. I can't find the citation now. I do believe it's safe to say that borderlines have a higher suicide rate. I don't think they need...

    Admissions Strictly By the Numbers

    Bold emphasis above is my own. I guess I have a different perspective. Those running the nursing programs have far more experience with identifying successful prospective nursing students that we...
