  1. NOT BASHING M.A.'s!!!!

    I love it!!! I'm going to remember this
  2. SANEs: How many of you DID NOT start in the ER

    Hi Sehsun, It's always nice to meet fellow Psychology grads! Yes, I definitely see it as a 'Med-Surg kind of issue". While we are aware of the value of starting our careers in Med-Surg, it's also...
  3. SANEs: How many of you DID NOT start in the ER

    Dsczephyr- Thanks for your response! Because I volunteered as an advocate for a few years and had the opportunity to observe the SANE closely, I am definitely aware that the role of the advocate and...
  4. SANEs: How many of you DID NOT start in the ER

    Hi Isvalliant, Thanks for responding! Have you made any decisions about getting some experience in the ER? Good luck on your path as a new Nurse ;
  5. I Passed Nclex!!!

    Congratulations!!!
  6. HOPKINS: 20 minutes into the show

    I pretty much knew what I was getting myself into when I tuned in at 10... I think I was just holding onto some very thin thread of hope that the inevitable wouldn't happen. Sure enough, 20 minutes...
  7. How about this: NP vs. MSN ?

    Hi llg- I'm a 2nd degree bachelor seeker (BSN program) and am really wishing I would have chosen the accelerated route to obtain my MSN. Oh well, I'll get there eventually. I am really interested in...
  8. SANEs: How many of you DID NOT start in the ER

    Okay, Since I can't get any posters to respond (although several have viewed this thread), I'll try this: Siri- What's your opinion on my initial post? I'm not sure if I'll ever have a real interest...
  9. Should there be a 'White Nurses Association'?

    I work at a hospital in Dayton, OH. The city's population is majority African-American, however, the majority of nurses in the hospital are Caucasian. So, in essence, many of the nursing...
  10. Are you an introvert or extrovert?

    Overall, I'm a tried and true introvert. However, at times, I take on the appearance of an extrovert. I have no problems standing up for myself and for others and can be really outgoing in certain...
  11. Age you will/were graduated?

    I'm 27 now and will be 28 when I graduate with my BSN in Nov 2009. I really wish I would have gone for my BSN when I initially when off to school at the age of 18 but I was on a different track then...
  12. Hi Wsmith- We're in the same boat! I also have maxed out on federal aid due to another degree and have also taken out Sallie Mae loans to make life a little easier (easier for now, anyway). I hope...
  13. Loan Repayment in Dayton/Cincinnati

    Oh, ok. That explains why my situation is different. I am in school now and was told by HR that it doesn't matter if they only pay $1 towards my tuition or $1000-either way if Good Sam contributes any...
  14. Loan Repayment in Dayton/Cincinnati

    It's weird that MVH and Good Sam are both in the same network but have different policies for tuition reimbursement. I just spoke with the manager of the Tuition reimbursement program at Good Sam (she...
  15. Loan Repayment in Dayton/Cincinnati

    Oops, I was wrong. At Good Sam, since I'm signing the tuition reimbursement contract, I actually will be submitting a fee bill every quarter and Good Sam will pay my school directly. The hospital will...
  16. Loan Repayment in Dayton/Cincinnati

    I'm a nursing student that works as a PCT at Good Sam and I'll be signing the tuition reimbursement contract soon. At Good Sam, the policy is the same as MVH but I'll have to work for the hospital for...
  17. How do you balance work\family\school?

    This one line means so much. Although I am single with no children, I do have to work full-time (3 12 hr shifts per week) and also go to school full-time--it's rough. I finally had to stop comparing...
  18. Productive Discussions on the Internet

    I agree that spelling and punctuation matter. Horrible punctuation on top of major spelling errors can make it painful to read an entire post. However, there have been posts where individual posters...
  19. What if men dominated the Nursing profession?

    Yes, so true! I'm the kind of person who isn't afraid to open a can of worms. We must seriously stop taking offense at every attempt to improve this profession. Let's start some productive...
  20. nurse vs doctors

    My god, I think everyone should take a breather...Why is there such a need to flame on this site? I read some of the postings on this thread and ouch! First of all, do you know how many threads I've...
  21. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    I'm confused...I don't believe anyone has either inferred or explicitly stated that ASNs are not RNs. Some of us are merely stating that as a profession one element that needs to change in this field,...
  22. What if men dominated the Nursing profession?

    Tweety- Another poster (from another thread) stated my exact feelings of why I feel having so many entry points into nursing has been problematic for our profession. (From the administration's point...
  23. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank you (a million times over)!!! This is what I've tried stating in several threads...sometimes the truth hurts. In order to progress in nursing, this is what...
  24. What if men dominated the Nursing profession?

    Trust me, I have the inside scoop on what the world of men is like also--mainly b/c I live in this world and I also used to work for a company almost completely run by men. I'm not saying the...
  25. What if men dominated the Nursing profession?

    Unfortunately, humans are going to be humans. I just believe that in order to create some very much needed change, the nursing profession needs alot of leaders who have backbones made of steel and are...
