  3. What is up with the level of entitlement?

    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...

  4. What is up with the level of entitlement?

    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...

  6. What is up with the level of entitlement?

    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...

  7. ADN to CNM Bridge

    imenid37 replied to Rebecca Sharp's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    My daughter is in school for MSN/CNM. She started with an ADN. She got her BSN online after she had been a nurse for aabout 10 years. She could have gone back sooner, but she was happy with the ADN...

  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...

  9. Can We Talk About Nurse Suicide?

    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...

  11. RN school while in High School?

    imenid37 replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    There used to be a lot of vo-tech high schools with an LPN track. I think accreditation rules pushed most of the LPN programs into trade schools and colleges. I just tried to look this up and I see...

  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...

  16. CNS for Later?

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

    Go for nursing education or an NP role. Peds NP if no NNP programs in your area. CNS roles are a bust for most areas. Been there. Done that. Argued with the state BON. I am actually licensed as a CNS....

  17. Older nurses...chasing that carrot

    imenid37 replied to guest974915's topic in General Nursing

    When I saw your age and how long you've have been a nurse, I thought we were twins! I have never even worked at McDonald's. I started in a hospital as a volunteer and then got a job as an aide back...

  18. Feeling unsettled

    imenid37 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I feel kind of lost. At one time, I loved being a nurse. Of course there were ups and downs but generally I was happy with it overall. When I was younger one of my daughters had a chronic illness. I...

  19. RN, ADN being obsolete

    imenid37 replied to lovewaves's topic in General Students

    LPN's are making a comeback in central PA on med-surg units. WHY??? Because they can't get RN's. All the young BSN's are back to school right away for APRN and GONE! They want ED, ICU, L&D, not...

  20. Old nurse won't retire

    imenid37 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Tell her you are concerned about her. You want her to get some enjoyment out of her retirement. You would hate to see her get hurt on the job or driving to work in the winter. Does she have any...

  21. Thinking of quitting my new job.

    imenid37 replied to studiousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    As someone who has been a preceptor, clinical educator and a college instructor you might want to rethink being an educator. Being brash and headstrong won't be an advantage as an educator. You gotta...

    imenid37 posted a topic in General Nursing

  24. Caring for mother affecting my career

    imenid37 posted a topic in General Nursing

    My mother is in her mid 80's and has dementia. I took a break from my job and am doing very part-time teaching. My mother has caregivers part-time and I also watch her. She can be very unpleasant...

  25. BSN is a joke

    imenid37 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    " I have to memorize all the rules of APA." For probably less than $ 50, you can get PERLLA. It will save you the hassle of using the APA manual. My advice is do the BSN now or if it becomes an urgent...
