    Are there any RN-BSN programs that are not online?

    Tait replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Best online Masters in Nur Education?

    Tait replied to MommyandRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It is one course at a time, 8 weeks back to back. I am considered full time on my financial aid. I would say I Putin around 5-10 hours a week. Your mileage will vary as I am a skimmer. However a lot...

    Need advice

    Tait replied to gatlingt's topic in General Nursing

    Personally it sounds like he was unaware of the situation, took it out on the first person he saw, and probably had other unknowns on his plate. I would schedule a time with him, sit down and address...

    Want opinions from the nurses who have a mental health condition

    Tait replied to wish_me_luck's topic in General Nursing

    I think, unless you are working on a psych unit in which I would think they could give you better advice, each case in the hospital is on an individual basis. This also requires some attention to what...

    Want opinions from the nurses who have a mental health condition

    Tait replied to wish_me_luck's topic in General Nursing

    I have situational anxiety and depression, HSP (Highly Sensitive Personality),which isn't a mental disorder but plays heavily into my interpersonal interactions), and have been on Zoloft during this...

    Why are the divorce rates among nurses so high?

    Tait replied to TiffanyLe's topic in General Nursing

    It is comments, in particular the second sentence, that alienate those who do not live in a black and white world. My parents were married for religious reasons and were divorced after 14 painful...

    Tait replied to Thunda's topic in General Nursing

    At my old hospital they banned "flushable" disposable wipes for the same reason, backed up plumbing. I didn't know until I went back for my practicum that each time they had to unclog the system for...

    Why are the divorce rates among nurses so high?

    MSN student in need of advice

    Tait replied to lecavalier4's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am currently one week from completing my MSN-Ed through Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ. I do not necessarily think you need a brick and mortar school to get a great MSN education. As adult...

    Tait replied to OB-nurse2013's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Merrells are awesome, though I never owned any. I loved my Danskos. I can't believe for a time I nursed in CROCS!

    What did you do during your OB rotation?

    Tait replied to ssalulu's topic in General Students

    Nothing. Our OB rotation was 4 weeks and for one of the weeks my instructor was home birthing her CAT. I never saw a delivery, though I did get to work with my first non-English speaking couple and I...

    Poll: Do you skim or read your nursing textbooks?

    Tait replied to na-na's topic in General Students

    I see nursing texts as similar to reference books when it comes to the rote/tasky stuff like A&P etc. I am definitely a skimmer. I read the syllabus, look for the key information, read over...

    Tait replied to besaangel's topic in General Students

    Oh sorry. I read "I work at a Magnet Hospital" and thought you were already an RN. My bad. :) In 2007 I was one of the last ADNs hired by a large ATL metropolitan Magnet hospital. I would say talk to...
