I read about the importance of a nursing school being accredited. Ok...does this mean it must be accredited by the NLN? If I go to a community college that is accredited but the program is not accredited by NLN, am I up the creek when it comes to job...

Start anti-bullying education in school....NURSING SCHOOL.

Lets see....being screamed at in front of a patient by an "instructor". Being told I was incompetent and not performing anywhere near to the level of my other class mates. Long story short...I quit , instructor was fired, and the school had in-the...

i could start by saying "oh follow your dreams, be prepared to work really hard and it will be great". But I am not goung to. Bullying /incivility exists very much in nursing. It starts in nursing school. I had never experienced such unprofessionalis...

Just look at your paycheck and remember when you made CNA salary. That usually makes me smile!

Just wondering how some of you would handle being in a nursing program that you felt was personally unsupportive to you as a student. I struggled with a couple of issues in the program and the way it was handled by the instructor AND the program ma...

Hello....sorry for the big delay. Yes, I felt I experienced unfair treatment in my program. I felt I was not being TAUGHT anything. I also felt I was expected to perform at the same level as a current RN. Is that common? Is a student supposed to per...

I work private duty and at first I thought it was great! But after awhile I am changing my mind. I have seen and expereinced some unfair things, from clients AND the agency. I know there is no perfect job, but I thought I would be a little more app...

You know what would be great? Let ALL americans have the SAME health insurance plan that all the US senators and Congress people have. I would be wiling to switch !

I have been in abusive relationships before. I also experienced bullying from several nursing instructors. The bullying was so bad, I chose to drop out rather than continue with the program. I sometimes regret dropping out, but I simply couldn't t...

It starts in nursing school. Where basically you are self taught. That was my experience anyway. Oh, and did I mention the bullying by the clinical instructors who are waiting with baited breath to dock you in your evaluation. I have a bachelor of ...

Short answer...only YOU can decide if it is for you. Unfortunately, there are some negatives with nursing that you will experience in school and on the job. It is a profession like no other. And I don't mean that in a positive way. Now the good n...

I have experienced this with almost EVERY nursing instructor I had. I can honestly say they would rather see you fail than succeed. Has anyone else experienced this ?

Bullying in public schools has been a topic prevalent in the media and society the last couple years. However, bullying, or "lateral violence", or "incivility" seems to be an ongoing problem in the nursing field. I have been bullied both as a stude...

It seems to be tolerated very well in the profession. Just wondering why there doesn't seem to be the "hype" about it when the current pc tone is no bullying.

I have seen where there are RN to BSN programs...but what about LPN to RN programs?

Hey everyone,,,I just had a lightbulb go off in this feeble brain of mine! I went to the wrong school! Thanks so much for all your answers and feedback ! I really appreciate it !

And, just to point out something, I did not say every single instructor. I said "almost every instructor".

Wow....I can see that a lot of nursing instructors answered here and I guess I should not be surprised that they are of the opinion that it really isn't them its the student. well ...I had a nursing clinical instructor who was going to be removed f...

thanks to everyone for their info !

I can totally understand where you are coming from. I feel very little appreciation where I work. Nursing has a lot of politics to it and I often feel like I am in this profession alone.

what is working on the Pine Ridge Indian reservation like?

Of course everyone has SOME student loan to pay off. But what is the average debt load? I am thinking of going to further school for an ADN. It will be at least 2 years. I know that it will cost me a MINIMUM of 20 k. *anxiety*

I am an LPN and somewhat considering going back to school for RN. I have read on here that the job market is sukky even for RN's. I read on here how so many people send off resumes just to get back an email that says thanks, but no thanks. So is t...

hi, I am currently working home health nursing as an LPN. THese last couple years, i feel my skills are becoming stagnant. I am not learning anything new. I would like to work in a nursing home , especially to learn more about meds and diabetes. I...
