  1. Excelsior RN-to-BSN

    baldee replied to motenn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    More importantly, is this acceptable for Florida credits as RN Bachelors degree? The site just signs up anyone as a student and just goes round and round no matter what button you click for...

  2. A big, fat CPNE failure here

    baldee replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Don't let a failure stand in your way. People actually learn much better when faced with the adversity of failure, than if they barely pass the first time. You seem like a real credit to the Nursing...

  3. Male Nurses attending to female patients (morals vrs ethics)

    baldee replied to nkmorale's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It seems a little far fetched that a Nurse would jeopardize their career and being jailed for a little 'improper' touch for funzies: especially an 84 year old. But she was brought up with no male...

  4. RN to BSN, what is the benefits?

    baldee replied to tetons77's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    LOL! The only difference in my CC of ADN and (RN to ADN) is about 8 hours in 4 courses condensed to 5 hours in 2 courses. Thats out of 72 hrs including pre-nursing and AS req's. Its not a BSN, but if...

  5. Tech school vs. Community College

    baldee replied to RN2bemommyof3's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    We have a tech school about the same, but its for a LPN with totally different classes than ADN. CNA classes is its core and it embellishes upon that by wiping butts and bathing 400 lbers for about 6...

  6. Nursing Grants For School

    baldee replied to baldee's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Well, until I get my biologies, micro, and human development done in good standing for this year, I'm on my own. Just lucky I have an opportunity get help my 2 Nursing years. This is really an...

  7. ADN RN career choice alternatives?

    baldee posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    There seem to be a great deal of RN diversity. And yet continuous education requirements for each. Is there some way to know what is available for an ADN RN??

  8. ADN RN career choice alternatives?

    baldee replied to baldee's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Ha Ha, I was unclear again and was in a hurry. I want bankers hours to trade during the day, so want to work weekends and nights(or evenings) as an RN for my fixed support. The plan is the trading...

  9. Did RNs Have To Practice Bathing Each Other In NS

    baldee replied to me-too's topic in General Students

    They mention so little in HHA or CNA about this subject. I only read here reference of how to wipe someone and manipulating the folds of skin: a key to doing 90% of CNA work, including bathing 400 lb...

  10. ADN RN career choice alternatives?

    baldee replied to baldee's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Thanks Steve. Now I need to start investigating off-shift alternatives for bankers hours open M-F. But I'll have plenty of time for that. Thanks Again

  11. ADN RN career choice alternatives?

    baldee replied to baldee's topic in Male Nursing Students

    That clarifies the educational requirements, but I wanted (and I did not originally specify correctly) to know what INITIAL CAREER CHOICES are available for an ADN RN freshley out of school. You gotta...

  12. Male Nursing Salaries

    baldee replied to cvpmvp2's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Do RN's get Overtime, unlike Fed law for CNA's? I hopes

  13. EKG on female patients

    baldee replied to bill4745's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Heck! This sounds like the most painless RN duty I've heard yet. Sounds like a field I need to investigate further with my soft, warm, accurate, and gentle-touch hands. Thanks

  14. GPA dilemma

    baldee replied to cina23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    SMK1, That's a good point. I've got great Engineering credits, but I started out in a mediocre status at an apathetic business school. The problem is those VERY FIRST courses stick with you FOREVER,...

  15. RN to BSN, what is the benefits?

    baldee replied to tetons77's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Tweety or any other kind person, From a ADN and other previous BS in Engineering and Managment, can you jump to MSN, with only taking a few Senior prerequisite classes w/o a BSN? I have an excellent...

    Can you please give us an example of an RN analysis of the poop texture, which gave you insight into the patients health that ultimately leads to a proactive plan for a speedy recovery? Exact texture...

  17. heavy lifting

    baldee replied to nads786's topic in Men in Nursing

    nursemike, you miss the point completely. CEFHMF has 17 years experience, not 2. He speaks for a full career's worth of empirical evidence. Of course females will get out of doing manual labor like...

  18. Older nurses jealous of new young nurses?

    baldee replied to smileysenior's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good

  19. Scared Of Poop!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!!!

    baldee replied to nursingstudent424's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, one pooper scooper does not concern me. Yes, you can grin and bear it for that. Or even a couple. But if you are considering a CNA job to get you started in funds to go to school, 40 to 60...

  20. heavy lifting

    baldee replied to nads786's topic in Men in Nursing

    What is "cna" lifting? Scooping and extracting the feces out before you clean the folds in the skin, lol?

  21. to get a BSN if no desire for management?

    baldee replied to traumamomtx30's topic in General Nursing

    If you just want to take 'something', then the skies the limits. Lots of ripoff educational opportunities abound in Recession times, especially in this industry. At any time, it looks like about 40%...

    baldee replied to baldee's topic in Nursing Career

    You are very kind to share your valuable experience. I had almost came to the same conclusion, but will always ask obvious questions first. I enjoy the Nursing community, since they are the crowned...

    baldee replied to baldee's topic in Nursing Career

    Just looked up LPN vocational curriculum: CNA -165 hrs + 1185 hrs of hiney wiping (over 7 months full time). Now I know only 4 to 5 hrs a day will be involved with that and a few hours dedicated to...
