    Requiring a BSN degree for an ADN scope of practice

    PMFB-RN replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Didn't read them all, just skimmed them. Didn't see anyone saying they don't like the BSN

    Requiring a BSN degree for an ADN scope of practice

    PMFB-RN replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The "push" for Magnet is long over. What we have is the best of the hospitals, many of whom were early adopters (and many more top hospitals who neglected to follow the Magnet fad at all), more and...

    Requiring a BSN degree for an ADN scope of practice

    What we have is a debate. One in which I find both sides to have very compelling

    Requiring a BSN degree for an ADN scope of practice

    PMFB-RN replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I have been on AN for a while now. I have never read of anyone who dislikes the BSN degree. I wonder who you could get to take part in that

    Requiring a BSN degree for an ADN scope of practice

    PMFB-RN replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    And in my neck of the wood a person with a degree in anything can get a BSN in 12 months. While I can understand why you might feel that way, I can hardly think of anything more likely to cause...

    Requiring a BSN degree for an ADN scope of practice

    PMFB-RN replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Interesting. While obviously Texas isn't really a national leader in the advancement of nursing practice, I am surprised that so many difference must exist between the ADN and BSN school programs to...

    PMFB-RN replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hey you started it. You can't come on here and post in a rude, condescending and offensive (not to mention massively ill-informed) manner and not expect to receive replies in

    What Docs Don't Understand About Nurses

    PMFB-RN replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are wasting your energy worrying about losing your license. In the 18 years I have been in nursing I have only seen nurses lose their license for the most obvious of things like: Steal drugs Being...

    Silliest answer someone has said in class?

    PMFB-RN replied to marvelmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Get a clue man. Not sure if you are unable to comprehend what has been written, or simply didn't bother to read the posts before responding to them. BTW if you think there are any "leftists" who...

    Requiring a BSN degree for an ADN scope of practice

    PMFB-RN replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Whether or not outcomes differ is very much up for debate. So far what we pretty much have is people who sell a certain product (the BSN) telling us that their "study" shows those who purchase their...

    Requiring a BSN degree for an ADN scope of practice

    PMFB-RN replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hopefully previous posters have educated you and you no longer suffer under these delusions. The answer as to why they want BSN trained nurses is pretty simple. Management views BSN nurses as less...

    What Docs Don't Understand About Nurses

    PMFB-RN replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, nursing lets in pretty much anyone. Don't forget that there are many programs that operate on a waiting list. Meet the minimum requirements, and wait long enough and you will get a shot at...

    Should Nurses Bill Separately from Hospitals and Physicians?

    PMFB-RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I used to be very much in favor of nurses billing for their services. Not any more. Now, with the deliberately created glut of nurses we would be our bidding each other for patients. If I am willing...

    PMFB-RN replied to marvelmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't take the "conservative" as used in that post to be the same "Conservative" as used to describe a political point of view. Centainly many people who are politicaly liberal are very...

    Starting to find some aspects degrading

    PMFB-RN replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had an instructor in nursing school who was all about Jean Watson. I had an assingment to write a paper about her impact on nursing. I wrote a paper that said that nursing has come a long way...

    Renewed Rn license, and still no job!

    PMFB-RN replied to Shandyjp's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow! What caused the huge delay in getting your license? I am sure that was very harmful to your job prospects. I know for certain the huge delay would send up red flags where I work. Have you...

    PMFB-RN replied to marvelmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unlike modern Mennonites the cave men, living in conditions where privacy wasn't really possible, had plenty of observable examples. Also, while I sure cavemen had plenty of their own dogma, it was...

    PMFB-RN replied to marvelmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my area we have many Mennonites. They receive a decent basic education, but nothing about sex education. Not even "this is how your body works" education. It is completely up to the parents to...

    Your Specialty & Why

    The ID MD would employ a nurse to utilize skills you would learn in an acute care environment and will not learn in nursing

    I got a good chuckle in A&P when a young woman was incredulous to learn that there were three openings to her body in her peri area. The urethra came as a complete surprise to her. She lived to...

    Your Specialty & Why

    PMFB-RN replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in General Nursing

    It's great you are interested in infectious diseases. However I have never heard of a job for a regular RN in that area. Maybe others have and can correct

    Your Specialty & Why

    PMFB-RN replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in General Nursing

    I am full time rapid response. I feel like this specialty was created just for me. I love it. I started off in ICU right out of my 9 months of nursing school. I was lucky to get hired into a very...
