  2. msn-education

    Audreyfay replied to mjbsn2006's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    IMHO, if you are considering an MSN anyway, why not take one class at a time. That most certainly is enough, along with working full time. That is the way I built on my ADN, then my BSN, and now...

  5. Another Nurse Bites the Dust...

    Audreyfay replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

    Audreyfay replied to Witheney's topic in General Nursing

    Audreyfay replied to SouthernLPN2RN's topic in Agency Nurses

  10. Are u extremely organized and meticulous?

    Audreyfay replied to susanna's topic in General Nursing

  11. Is it okay to love parts of nursing and hate others?

    Audreyfay replied to luckymichelle's topic in General Nursing

    The nursing instructor was a pie in the sky idealist. Like the saying goes, "those who can't do, teach." Sign me: "Still looking for Utopia, but loving the scene along the

  18. Nurses: Are you where you started in Nursing?

    Audreyfay replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    I've been in almost every area of nursing because I get bored easily if I'm not learning new things. Some of the areas I revisited years later and found them essentially unchanged from what they used...
