    APRN. replied to Sspino's topic in General Nursing

    I returned for my MSN degree after 25 years working at the bedside. With that said, I would like to recommend going the entry level MSN route. You are required to meet all of the QSEN requirements...

  2. Being Treated Poorly by an RN

    APRN. replied to msnikki05's topic in General Students

    I don't know what "shands" is, I assume that is your place of employment. I have a question for you: Could the Dr have been under the impression that you were a visitor/family member? ~ if so, I can...

  3. Always 'paying my dues' because i'm PRN?

    APRN. replied to Mrs_Momma_RN's topic in Nursing Career

    When I first became an RN and applied to a local hospital there were only a few positions in the ICU, where I wanted to be. I applied, but it went to 2 new grad BSN's. I then paid $600 out of my own...

  8. Refusing to give nursing pin to student!

    APRN. replied to Haleiwa's topic in General Students

    A nursing pin is an extension of the nursing programs endorsement of meeting the requirements of graduation. By using the logic of being able to keep all things that are paid for to have and to hold...

  9. Refusing to give nursing pin to student!

    APRN. replied to Haleiwa's topic in General Students

    For the record, I would like to see the student be compensated for her money. Because this wish involves a government institution, I have little faith of seeing that happen. How many times a year...

  10. Refusing to give nursing pin to student!

    APRN. replied to Haleiwa's topic in General Students

    Your friend should not get an object from the college that bears THEIR Community College name, as well as "Registered Nurse", in addition to the ADN degree that she did not earn. That is simply...

  11. unfair treatment by professors

    APRN. replied to Lizzly's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. How can I educate fellow nurses?

    APRN. replied to beachmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My suggestion would be to find your early adopters (nurses who are pro-skin to skin), and start a journal club with them. Try and make one of your first topics be skin to skin, and critically...

    APRN. replied to guest907278's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    As long as you hold a license as an LVN, it doesn't matter what the name employer or job description comes up with. It could be "Royal pillow fluffer" for the shift: YOU WILL STILL BE HELD TO AN LVN...

  15. who believes persistence is key?

    APRN. replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think that if you inquire as to how you may improve your chances for the next time, your odds will improve dramatically over time. To keep doing the same thing without input, after an unsuccessful...

  16. Help!!! Can you obtain a bachelors degree if you do not have an associates degree?

    APRN. replied to jengarcia87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No. You do not need to get a 2 year (ASN) degree before a 4 year BSN degree. You can go straight into a BSN program out of high school and finish in 4 years with your

  17. Basics

    APRN. replied to Kescape's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My advice to you is to research your final goal, and work backwards from there. FNP ~ do you want a DNP FNP, or a MSN FNP? What are the required pre-requisites for the FNP? ADN/BSN/MSN ~ which...

  21. Question-Please answer!

    APRN. replied to Anisa.Lee's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Read the syllabus and know what is expected of you. By far and large, being able to meet the expectations in the syllabus is your focus for this semester. If you don't quite understand what is meant...

  22. In what setting does an RN do the most thorough physical assessments and health histories?

    APRN. replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP: You must first learn what to do, in order to understand when not to do it. Everything that you learn allows you to build your ability to perform high level critical thinking, which is the...

  23. "I would never want you as my nurse!"

    APRN. replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

  25. MSN Nurse without clinical experience please help!!

    APRN. replied to Sspino's topic in General Nursing

    The use of a blanket statement that summarily dismisses the educational prowess of APRN's speaks more to invalidate your position, than to give merit to it. All the hospitals that I'm around in a...
