  2. BA and RN looking for cheap Bsn

    MauraRN replied to ranxerox's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Why go the BSN route? I have a BA and RN and there are many programs that will take you right into MSN where you are more likely to get financial assistance, loans, teach an undergrad course for...

  3. Help! In first contract and no housing as promised. No $$. Advice?

    MauraRN replied to GalRN's topic in Travel

    Sounds awful, but don't walk out on the contract (hope it is a short one) and never accept an assignment from them ever again. Talk to the facility, they may be able to hide you out in an unused call...

    MauraRN replied to 4treasures's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am in New Bedford now. Our med carts have been fitted with PC holder things that I currently use to hang my steth and other things. So maybe eMar is on the way. That would be so

  8. Is you LTC on a computer system?

    MauraRN replied to 4treasures's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Our CNA's use Caretracker software and they are doing a great job with it. We nurses still must do everything by hand with redundancy

  9. Rationing Health Care for Seniors

    MauraRN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am with the Mermaid on this. It may be a function of our geography. In all areas of business, health, real estate, restaurants, hotels, we on the south shore of Boston, Cape Cod and the Islands see...

    MauraRN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hey CapeCod, Would you consider moving over to New Bedford? I would LOVE it if a management or office/clerical staff or unit managers offered to help move folks to dining room, pass trays, anything. I...

  11. I'm back!

    MauraRN replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hey Sue, Sounds like a great gig. At nights there are no mgmt people around to issue new projects, no dietician sitting at your nurses station taking up space. You can just do your thing. You should...

    MauraRN replied to Cutebutpsycho1022's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Same work as when I was an LPN, but 50cents an hour more!! Woohoo!! As CapeCodMermaid says, the only extra thing I do now as an RN that I could not do as an LPN is the RN pronouncement of death. BTW,...

    MauraRN replied to queenbee220's topic in Online Distance Learning

    MauraRN replied to dbarnes2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Tammy, I LOVE your kickin' attitude. You describe some of us to a T. Not elitist at all, just not going to accept "no you can't" for an answer. Yes we can because we work smarter, never stop learning,...

  20. Do you regret getting your LPN-BSN or RN online

    MauraRN replied to litebrightgirl's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I did EC ADN. It worked for me, love distance format and I am beginning EC MSN in the fall. EC is now the largest nursing school in the country. As such, EC should assume a more assertive role in...
