    Dog on the floor, what do you think?

    ZooMommyRN replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    I'm all for allowing the 4 legged babies to visit, possibly in a visiting room that can be cleaned as soon as the visit is over to avoid aggravating other people's

    ZooMommyRN replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    Is putting 'BSN' on badge snobbish?

    ZooMommyRN replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    why else would the poll state 2yrs of education vs. 4yrs of education without explaining the two? sure it's a 2 year degree with almost a year of pre-req's before you can apply for the 2 yrs of...

    Is putting 'BSN' on badge snobbish?

    ZooMommyRN replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not depreciating the value of a BSN, I plan to attain one myself, however, the general public is being fed the idea that ADN is inadequate, and an 11yr old poll just doesn't prove it to

    Is putting 'BSN' on badge snobbish?

    ZooMommyRN replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure no one bothered to inform those responding to this poll (that is 11 yrs old, I prefer newer polls and numbers) the the 2yr degree & 4 yr degree nurses take and pass/fail the same board...

    ZooMommyRN replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    you earned it, go for it! I hope to start either the BSN or bridge to MSN next year, the hospital I work for will put it on your badge if you ask them, I'm honestly not sure how many besides the...

    RN on your facebook name?

    ZooMommyRN replied to laynaER's topic in General Nursing

    Text speak takes too long to decipher, I don't even abreviate that much in my own texts, nor do my children if they want me to respond. Back to the OP's question, not on my facebook name. It is in...

    ZooMommyRN replied to organicbeauty's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    We all have a leadership course regardless of designation, however I don't care if it's a new grad RN or LPN, I still wouldn't consider either one capable of being charge with no experience at all,...

    Stopping a code w/o MD

    ZooMommyRN replied to Bug Out's topic in General Nursing

    in FL it varies from county to county, the next county up has jumped through enough hoops that their paramedics are allowed to call a code in the field. Ironic part is, their medical director is one...
