   imenid37 replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

   Dude you bring up some good points. I worked in OB for years. We did L/D, OB triage, nursery, GYNs. We even went on ambulance transports with patients. I was fine to take whatever type of those...

   imenid37 replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

   It is called dual enrollment. Our college has an agreement with several state and private universities to take some BSN classes while finishing their ADN. For some students, it is great. Others cannot...

5. Should I quit my program?

   imenid37 replied to cj_94's topic in General Nursing

   You are right. There are many students experiencing great stress right now. However, the expectation for all students should be the same. The reality is that whether you are 20 and living at home with...

   imenid37 replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

   There is a lot going on with new nurses. Those who just finished in December or June had their clinicals and in person classes impacted by Covid. Virtual Sims and Case studies are great but they do...

8. SRNAs demeaning other DNP specialties

   imenid37 replied to SRNA123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   I guess it is a bunch of generic CRNA students who think they know it all and are better than others. I am a CNS in a DNP program. We have a lot of practicing CRNAs. They are smart, articulate, and...

   imenid37 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   I have been so low, I have thought about it for months at a time. Right now, I am doing pretty well. I had a person who was my boss who was a liar and a narcissist. She violated our HR policy and...

10. I hate fake call outs.

    imenid37 replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    So really why do you need to work an extra weekend when you take vacation? It is a 24/7/365 operation. I worked at a place where we got no weekend diff. We always had to cover our weekend off, even...

    imenid37 replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

12. Nurse dies after assault at job. She finished her shift first.

    imenid37 replied to missmollie's topic in Nursing News

    So because she may have had a coag disorder, does that excuse this patient assaulting her? It is like a pregnant woman being hit in the abdomen and dying of an abruption. Does that mean the attacker...

13. nurse educator options (need advice)

    imenid37 replied to guest1074638's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Loved being a unit educator. Stupidest thing I did was to quit. Academia has a better schedule, but a few students can really make it or break it. They have a lot of "rights" even when obviously in...

14. Anyone else been turned off to academia?

    imenid37 replied to AmeliasAunt's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I like the schedule and I like creating materials. Working with most of the students is great, but some are very challenging. Personally, I don't think the rigor of school prepares the students very...

15. CNS for Later?

    imenid37 replied to adventure_rn's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    I wish you luck. Your passion is admirable. I would say if you get the CNS degree and don't practice as a CNS immediately, it could be an issue. There also may be issues finding a preceptor. Doing...
