Find your niche!!! I was a unit secretary in L&D for 4 years and could not wait to work in this area when I became licensed. NOT!!! I went to the NICU which I love for the most part. I understand...
I can get the article free from my school website. I am looking forward to reading this. I will read with an open mind because everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Oh please do not leave!!! You have made yourself accountable for this error and now with this you can learn from it and find a systematic way to avoid this from happening again. No one is perfect we...
What changed? Who are these people? Studies can be skewed!!!! So If you are a good nurse with an ADN your BSN is merely icing on the cake, but it doesn't transform nurses into better nurses well...
@windsurfer8 Well if Magnet hospitals are going to hire only BSN that seems to send a clear message that ADN are not suitable for their hospital now. And they want BSN nurses at the bedside. It seems...
Let's keep it real you are doing your job. Some seasoned nurses simply cut corners. You have to put foot ass with your techs. You are an RN delegate with assertiveness and keep it moving! In time you...

Okay, so getting a LVN is suppose to be a demotion of some kind when there are nurses who choose to be just LVNs? That is rude!!!! Just like saying if a RN doesn't have his/her BSN one is not worthy...
I have long dread locs and my little tikes love pulling on them. I agree it can be unsanitary and it is best to keep the hair neat above the collar or a neat ponytail. After all, this is for the...
My reason for getting my BSN was for me and me alone. I think it is insane to tell a nurse who has mad skills and experience to get a BSN to make them look good; because it is assumed it will...

It is what the title implies Physician assistant. Nurse practitioner is no assistant to anyone but herself. Yes, as a NP you will corroborate with MDs and refer clients that will be beyond your scope...
Don't stress over this. I failed my second semester in the LVN program. I was only 6 points away. I was devastated. I was cool with it until I found out there were students who were in the same boat...
My first clinical experience I had to give a resident a bath and clean her stoma and change her colostomy bag. I was so nervous. I was flustered and the resident yelled at me and said I was all...
oh no!!! Just get reciprocity and do you!!!!!! The only facilities I know that will take any license is the VA SYSTEM. Other than that you are good to go. Explore your new
I think MAGNET status is like the difference between having a Vera Wang dress opposed to a Walmart special on the 9.99 rack!! A label on the hospital that only benefits the infrastructure not the...

I prefer community hospitals because there are more of these hospitals than teaching ones. When you work in a teaching hospital you receive great training no doubt, physicians around the clock....

If you work on a floor that has self-scheduling it should not be a problem just as long as you do not accrue overtime and meet their weekend requirement. Some hospitals and units have adapted working...
