  3. sub-standard nursing opportunities

    OregonBSN replied to olpoohky's topic in Oregon Nursing

    OregonBSN replied to olpoohky's topic in Oregon Nursing

  7. What the heck is going on in Portland right now?

    OregonBSN replied to sonnyluv's topic in Oregon Nursing

  13. ANA & ONA

    OregonBSN replied to OregonBSN's topic in Oregon Nursing

    That is exactly my point. They have supported it for decades but have done little to move it forward. Perhaps the should have a more aggressive stance on the BSN requirement. The ONA director...

  18. Who HATES the term MURSE?

    OregonBSN replied to LuxCalidaNP's topic in Men in Nursing

    It makes me laugh - and I could care less. Though since I am still in nursing school so it is usually "Mursling" or "Murselette" right now. None of the RNs call us that - usually it is just around...
