    Why do nurses eat their young?

    klone replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP, I would suggest looking into other RN-BSN programs that don't require you take a $200 test to show your competency in

    Can this be put on the homepage or SOMETHING?!

    klone replied to SubSippi's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it has to be just nurses. I think they just require 100k discrete signatures. As this is a patient safety issue, I would think that the general public should have a voice in this as...

    I knew nothing about it until now.

    'Diagnosing' co-workers?

    klone replied to Awesomocity0's topic in General Nursing

    I would not consider saying "Hey, maybe you should get your hearing checked" to be diagnosing. What I would do first is ascertain if she's got the stethoscope in her ears correctly, and is placing...

    Should I go to WGU for my MSN?

    klone replied to Windynurse's topic in Western Governors University

    I did look at other programs. I looked at ASU as well as Grand Canyon. I opted to go with WGU because I was familiar with their format (I did my BSN through them as well) and the idea of having to do...

    Best Midwifery School programs

    klone replied to Livvy24's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I've heard great things about Vanderbilt and SUNY Downstate. For distance learning, Frontier has a great reputation, but if you live in a small community without many midwives, it may be difficult to...

    Should I go to WGU for my MSN?

    klone replied to Windynurse's topic in Western Governors University

    I completed my MSN through WGU - graduated a little over a month ago. I have NO regrets and thought it was a great program, that actually did teach me some of the tools I will need to be a nurse...

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    klone replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    You are mistaken. There are NO NP programs that do not require clinicals. It's a licensing requirement, I believe the minimum number of hours is 600 for licensure. And as the previous poster...

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    klone replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    I'm posting on my phone. I did not see an "unlike" option. Maybe when I get my lazy ass out of bed and find my laptop I will fix it.

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    klone replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    I never have. This website is not real life. What I do and say here is not necessarily representative of my real life practice. But you DID ask. And make no mistake, if the nurse you're working with...

    Nope, never heard that. And if I did, I'd just roll my eyes and think

    To change or not to change jobs?

    klone replied to rnurset's topic in General Nursing

    You also didn't mention what the preop job pays. Better than your floor position? Would you be coming out ahead financially by working M/S full time and one AM a week with the clinic, or by taking the...

    To change or not to change jobs?

    klone replied to rnurset's topic in General Nursing

    I agree the new offer sounds wonderful! As someone who has gone from 3 12s to M-F days, a few things to consider. How far away is the new job? (You will now be commuting 5 days a week instead of 3-4)...

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    klone replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    I meant to hit "quote" not "like" Yes, it's misguided. Students do not relieve some of the burden. They add more. That is, if the nurse is actually doing a good job of teaching. Sure, there are ******...

    Surviving nightshift plus breastfeeding

    klone replied to JVoEDrn's topic in General Nursing

    I worked nights (3 12s) with a breastfeeding infant, and did not use daycare until he was 15 months. I'm not going to lie, it was very difficult. I also did not work two nights in a row, which...

    Did you marry a doctor?

    klone replied to KayStanley's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    He has his entire life planned out. And when he's 32 years old, he's going to become a rap singer. Why 32, you ask? Because that's the age we told him he has to be before he can use swear words, and...

    Did you marry a doctor?

    klone replied to KayStanley's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My 7-year-old son has said that he wants to marry a plastic surgeon because he knows plastics is where the money is at, and he wants her to support him so he can be a stay-at-home-dad and take care of...

    Confused RN and Residency Program

    klone replied to supportingh's topic in General Nursing

    Every hospital's policies will differ. Around here, residency programs are for new BSN nurses, who have graduated less than 12 months ago, and have never held a job as an RN before. Other facilities...

    Did you marry a doctor?

    klone replied to KayStanley's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I only work with female physicians. While I adore them, my love is non-romantic. And they're all married anyway. Oh yeah, so am I. To a man. So there's

    And "COB" refers less to age, and more about time spent in nursing. There are some COBs who are younger than you,
