  1. If you want to become CRNA, you should go straight for BSN then. This option is good when you already know what you want to become. You might also need BSN if you want to become a nursing supervisor. Some "Magnet" hospitals also require you to hav...
  2. How do I know if nursing is for me? So confused!

    Google Images: http://www.children.com It is true that nursing is not for everybody! Do you enjoy of taking care of other people?
  3. Shifts that new nurses work? I am worried about nights!

    Google Images: http://www.Cartoonstock.com I hate night shift inasmuch as I can't sleep in the day time!

    Depends on urgency! At 6PM, it is a kind of borderline! "Priority" is the word. Did you grandma get hurt as a result of those nurses so call "standing around."

  6. Verbal abuse from a Nursing Aide

    Not much you can do! Did you give her a nice gift during Christmas?
  7. Nicknames your pt's give you

    An angel???? No wonder my patient once call me the "God."
  8. Verbal order

    Responding to rn/writer, I have no intention to protect that nurse; and this is the reason why I suggested bstern to report it to the Nursing Supervisor. The facility will make a decision as whether it should be reported to the BON or not. Patient'...
  9. Verbal order

    Normally, something like this all you have to do is to report it to a Nursing Supervisor and he/she will go from there. However, you mentioned about the Dept of Ed. Actually, it is the BON. My educated guess is you have a problem with that nurse ...
  10. Where in NYC do you buy your shoes/scrubs/scope etc.?

    Sorry, the 2nd one I mentioned is located in Manhattan. I made the mistake and not aware of it. The first one is located in Brooklyn, and there are a few of them and they are not far from Long Island University.
  11. Filipino nurses

    When you are talking about African American, do you mean the ones that are from the Islands, Africa, or the ones that were born in America? I am working in New York City. The ones from the Islands, most of the time they speak French or Creole; and t...
  12. LPN License

    Interesting..... Up here in New York, fingerprint is not required. I was an LPN.... After I passed the NCLEX-PN dated back to 1999, I got my license in 7 days including Sat. & Sun. We pay more $$$ to LPN's in New York City.
  13. Where in NYC do you buy your shoes/scrubs/scope etc.?

    1st one Flatbush Ave and Fulton Street. 2nd one 23rd St and between 1st and 2nd Ave. If you live in Brooklyn, go to Kings Plaza then.... Good luck!!!
  14. Filipino nurses

    It does sound like you are a racist. If you are black, and I say, Are there any hospitals that do not hire any black nurses? I would like to apply for a job over there. Or, if you were white, and I say, Are there any hospitals that do not hire any wh...
  15. how do I resign?

    Give the letter to the Director of Nursing.
  16. Is it too late for me?

    The average age of all the U.S. nurses is 47, so I guess you are way too young for this field. My recommendation is....Wait another 12 years to enter the program.
  17. Disclosure of Depression to Nursing School

    My first question is...If depression has nothing to do with their decision, why would they ask that question anyway.
  18. Verbal order

    He says and she says.... I don't know who is right and who is wrong... Wow, if an intern told me to give methadone 10mg IM stat, and I gave it. Later on, I asked him to write the order and he/she said "I never ordered it!" I will be in big trouble.....
  19. Just wondering??

    Why do you want to become a nurse? Why are you choosing our school over others? Can you tell me something about yourself? To name just a few.... I am sure there are more; anyhow, good luck!
  20. My school Sucks!

    One of my classmates failed HESI, but got her degree in 11/2003(it was not the required to pass it)...4 months later, she took the NCLEX-RN. She passed it the 1st time she took the exam....BINGO.
  21. LPN first?

    LPN and LVN are the same. LPN stands for Licensed Practical Nurse. LVN stands for Licensed Vocational Nurse. Look different but the are doing the same work. If you want to become RN, you may want to use the LPN as a stepping stone. Whether there is ...

  24. Changing Nursing License to Different State

    I think you may download the info from the web site of the state you want to work...if I am not wrong, it is under the Dept of Ed. or Professional Licensing. I might be wrong...anyhow, I hope someone out there will know the answer.
  25. I have to ask....

    You should joined the Alldoctors.com... No, nurses do not intubated the patients.... Nurses also have to make sure the doctors are not overdosed your patients with any forms of medication...well...it happened... Good luck!!!
