  1. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    southeRNyankeee replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes, lots of people think nursing is recession-proof. What I said was no one here, in this thread about how hard it is to get a job, feels that way. You are absolutely right, I am only a new grad who...

  2. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    southeRNyankeee replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Did you read my post? Hidden agenda...using your background against you...is it really that serious? Unemployed nurses are definitely allowed to vent. I just got a job last month myself, and I was...

  3. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    southeRNyankeee replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You are a cheerleader of negativity. You come here and says how you hate other nurses and that they are bitter and disgusting. You say the field is pathetic, that the "crummy reality" is that nursing...

  5. San Antonio, Wayland Baptist vs. Galen Nursing

    southeRNyankeee replied to anar00's topic in Texas Nursing

    no, Galen has an LVN to RN bridge. The price is considerably more than SAC but comparable to Baptist (health systems, I have no idea about Wayland!) The LVN program can be completed on days (12 mo)...

  6. Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

    southeRNyankeee replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

    If you are an ADN and do an RN-BSN program online it is possible to do it in 3 semesters. It is also possible to do it without an additional clinical component, which would mean some BSN nurses have...

  7. Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

    southeRNyankeee replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

    A BSN is an RN. More extensive physical exams? Please explain this. Also, from what I understand, the difference in degrees is academic. Your clinical experience is only as good as your program and...

  8. San Antonio, Wayland Baptist vs. Galen Nursing

    southeRNyankeee replied to anar00's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't know anything about Wayland Baptist but I went to Galen for my LVN, and then for the LVN-RN Bridge program. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have, I'll do my best to

    southeRNyankeee posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Morning~ I have one of those 'special edition' pink breast cancer stethoscopes, and I'm sending the tubing to be replaced. The woman at 3M told me I could replace it with more pink if I choose. She...

  12. Who has a Littmann in a lighter color?

    southeRNyankeee replied to southeRNyankeee's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    The lady told me you can get the tubing changed just because you're tired of looking at it, so I'd go on and send it in! I almost went with the purple, but settled on the bright orange instead. I...

    southeRNyankeee replied to southeRNyankeee's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I believe I sent in the warranty card, but I don't think that matters. When I called the lady was able to figure out when I bought it from the serial # etched on the bell. You can call...

    southeRNyankeee replied to southeRNyankeee's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    southeRNyankeee replied to Williss2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Do you have a source for this? All the info I've found shows much lower #s, like this one (PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Out of an estimated 2.7 million U.S. registered nurse workforce in March 2000, 3.7% were...

  18. Racist Patients

    southeRNyankeee replied to Williss2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just wanted to say that I don't think that the rising # of minority floor nurses is because whites tend to go higher up the ranks. The number of minority nurses is on the the rise, however there...

  22. Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    southeRNyankeee replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    'his language' is not the language of all minorities. Why do you think that your minority students would have a problem with you correcting someone's grammar? Do you think that your two star black...

  23. Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    southeRNyankeee replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    Meluhn, I think you are missing my point. If you re-read my post you'll see I'm not defensive, I'm merely pointing out that correcting someone's speech is not a slap in the face to all people who...

    southeRNyankeee replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    You say he sounds like an ass, but you have other students that speak the same way yet they are competent. Do they "sound like asses" too? Can I get an example of these "ebonics", please? Here's the...
