    Entitlement/ superiority attitude of some nurses?

    Rose_Queen replied to Infofreak411's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't know. Perhaps not just this one thread, but looking at OP's post history... It is impossible for one to know the ins and outs of a job unless one had done it. You haven't worked as a...

    OR as a new grad

    Rose_Queen replied to EES9969's topic in Operating Room

    Have you had the opportunity to observe in the OR? I don't mean watching surgery but seeing what all goes into the day to day work of the nurse. It is possible to start in the OR as a new grad and be...

    Do I keep searching for the hiring/NM or leave it be?

    CEU's while in school?

    Rose_Queen replied to nlitened's topic in General Nursing

    Best bet is to check with your BON, but I suspect that the answer is no. My state specifies that the hours may only be earned from the first day the license is valid (for me, it's Nov. 1) and the day...

    ADN vs ABSN (cost vs job opportunity)

    Rose_Queen replied to LGDee's topic in General Students

    $120K? I'd never pay that much for a nursing degree. Heck, both of my degrees (BSN and MSN) cost less than half of that! The loan repayment amount itself will eat up your

    New grad, want to quit

    Rose_Queen replied to nursing926222's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to AN! Does you facility provide any sort of classroom education as part of your orientation? Why are you reluctant to request another preceptor? If the current preceptor isn't doing the job,...

    It seems that some students are not a good fit for nursing.

    Rose_Queen replied to Banana nut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would not be too concerned about classmates' progress unless it directly affects you, such as a group project. Those who truly aren't cut out for nursing school will at some point weed themselves...

    Not true at all. The NCLEX is exactly the same nationwide. There may be additional requirements for licensure in NY, but there will be no difference in what is covered on

    Need advice on how to proceed

    Rose_Queen replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing sees many career changers later in life. The fact that you are 32 doesn't mean all that- people start nursing school later than that and go back for further education older than that. In the...
