  1. Should BSNs be paid more?

    sbic56 replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    rstewart In theory, yours is a great idea, but I can't really see how the evaluation of how "good" a nurse is could be implemented. Judging performance would be a real challenge; nursing is not piece...

  2. Should BSNs be paid more?

    sbic56 replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Of course, at the present time, that's not feasible, as w/o ADN's the current healthcare system would collapse. As I have said before, though, eventually all entering nurses will be BSN's....

    sbic56 replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    You're the rockingest. An inspiration to us

  4. Should BSNs be paid more?

    sbic56 replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    One final comment: You sound just like me in my last LPN days. I was so totally frustrated that I did not receive the credit for all that I knew and did; just where you seem to be now. I'm sure you...

  5. Should BSNs be paid more?

    sbic56 replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    I had sent you a PM as I didn't want to derail this thread further.....but, after checking out your post I am going to agree that it is up to interpretation. I see what you posted as indicating that...

  6. Should BSNs be paid more?

    sbic56 replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    OK. Check it out when you get a minute. And, hey...I'm not that old! Seriously, my LPN program taught assessment skills, too! I stick by my words even though I know you are assessing...not just...

  7. Should BSNs be paid more?

    sbic56 replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    underwatergirl Sorry if you were offended; I didn't mean to do that...but, I do understand why you were! LPN's are used as RN's all the time! I was an LPN for 14 years before going on to get the RN...

  8. Should BSNs be paid more?

    sbic56 replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    This thread is an interesting one. Now we are looking at whether or not management can be taught. I wonder that myself, but I think the BSN or above would and should be considered above the ADN for...

  9. Should BSNs be paid more?

    sbic56 replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    OK, I am with you on the recognition for the BSN, so long as it is kept to a reasonable

  10. Should BSNs be paid more?

    sbic56 replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    That's right. And when they get it they can get paid considerably more for it, not until,

  11. Should BSNs be paid more?

    sbic56 replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    Now, that's interesting! Never heard of an LPN, regardless of position or experience, making more than anyone with masters degree, but I'm not doubting it's so, either. OT, but I have always been...

  12. Should BSNs be paid more?

    sbic56 replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    Since I feel the same as this poster you responded to, I'll comment. Actually, you made my point for me by making your own. No, RN's and LPN's should not be paid the same. LPN and RN are not the same....

  13. Should BSNs be paid more?

    sbic56 replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    I have no problem with the BSN who has more responsibility than I making more than I do. In other professions, those with an associates or bachelors hold positions of increased responsibility,...

  14. Nurse Not Doing Her Job

    sbic56 replied to TreetopAngel_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That's right. There may always be that cloud of doubt, even if proven innocent. Best to be sure, as it can't be taken

  15. Should BSNs be paid more?

    sbic56 replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    You are a perfect example of the BSN who should make more than an ADN. You should make more in management. That's the way to use your BSN, if you want to make more money. But, you also have the extra...

  16. Nurse Not Doing Her Job

    sbic56 replied to TreetopAngel_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Elizabeth It's clear you care about your patients and that's commendable, but especially where you hate confrontation, I feel you could have gone about tackling this dilemma a bit differently. If it...

  17. Should BSNs be paid more?

    sbic56 replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    SBE...re: the all BSN thing....I agree, it would be a good thing. Evening the playing field is the only way to resolve this debate. I predict 20 years till all nurses are BSN's. Oh, and I would never...

  18. Should BSNs be paid more?

    sbic56 replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    No, not practical right now at all, but eventually it will happen. I remember when I got my LPN in '84 and they said they were phasing out the program. Yeah, right. :chuckle Over the years, I took...

  19. Should BSNs be paid more?

    sbic56 replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't make sense that ADN's and BSN's do the exact same job in the first place, it's just part of the mess nursing has gotten itself into by not defining itself. Eventually, all nurses will be...

  20. Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

    sbic56 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat:

  21. Yelled at by NA for shaving pt.

    sbic56 replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I thought this thread was buried long ago! Anyway....the RN was new, the NA was experienced and corrected her. I did not realise when I first posted that the NA spoke in the presence of others to the...

  22. Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

    sbic56 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to be a veterinarian, but single momhood occurred first, so plans changed. I wanted something that was satisfying, more lucrative than waiting tables for tips and didn't take long to...

  23. Ever had a family overdramatic with dying patient?

    sbic56 replied to rn-jane's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen that type of grieving and it does look just like a tantrum. No other way to describe it. I remember a teen couple who lost an infant. It was very sad, but their reactions were bizarre. For...

  24. Nurse doing cocaine HELP

    sbic56 replied to llgrn1987's topic in General Nursing

    Unreal. I often wonder how you've remained in that state this long. You see it for what it is, but somehow keep your sanity, it seems. Must be that great sense of humor that keeps you from going...

  25. My patient fired me!

    sbic56 replied to InfoNurse1595's topic in General Nursing

    When patients act like she did, it is not about you, but about them. Sometimes it's just a way to control a situation when they feel they have none. Hard knowing for certain.You can never tend to...
