    I am sick and tired of being asked "Who is watching your kids?"

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    oh my god!!! i love this thread. i meant to start it 5 1/2 yrs ago after i went back to work when my daughter was 6 months old. i don't really see it as a sexist remark (but now i do, after...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to proRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    wow, llg. your post just inspired me to possibly reconsider a doctoral program (someday). first have to finish my msn, and get my act together in other aspects of my life. it sounds like you had a...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    i feel like that's a little too harsh (the overconfident remark). i don't know... it didn't really affect her performance, her performance was very average. my dad (who is an educator in emergency...

    Become a nurse in just 12 months!!!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to askater11's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    i think that is the point, for those (myself included) who question the "accelerated" programs. i know that is part of what i am thinking. in teaching on the adn level, i sometimes feel the same...

    I am worth less for Christmas?!?!?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    so we're not allowed to 'revive' a thread? some people seem to be bothered when people start new threads on things that have been discussed already, and the response is usually "do a search". and...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to askater11's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    you bring up an interesting point. i never though of that. everyone bashes the adn program. that would be a real interesting research

    Become a nurse in just 12 months!!!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to askater11's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I beg to differ. The program I teach in is 2 full years of nursing, with the pre and co-reqs thrown in. Those who have the pre-reqs already are only taking nursing (about 10 credits). those who are...

    Become a nurse in just 12 months!!!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to askater11's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    . I didn't say a few college credits. Some probably have 'some college'. In my clincial groups (total of 18 students) there are at least 5 that I know of, off the top of my head, that have...

    Become a nurse in just 12 months!!!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to askater11's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    that's quite an assumption. also, how many traditional, start-from-scratch nursing programs are full of 'typical college students straight from high school'? many have some college, if not another...

    You opinion - When are you no longer a new grad?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Kiwi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    until the next group of new grads come on your unit :chuckle. but seriously, my estimation is at least a year, maybe two. but to someone with 30 yrs experience, everyone is a new grad. it's all...

    BSN as Educator?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to FroggysMom's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    i am a year (3 classes) away from an msn degree . i am teaching in an adn program (just switched from adjunct to part time). for once, i am the exception to the rule. there are few positions in ny...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to askater11's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    i'm not a fan of this. especially after getting through my first semester (as an instructor) with first semester students. it is not enough time to prepare to become a nurse, regardless of a prior...

    Is Your Last Name On Your Badge?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    i've worked for 11 yrs, in multiple institutions, and never ever seen only a first name on a id badge. i never really gave it much thought. i do agree that there is something to say for the...

    Does this article prove that BSN nurses are safer than ASN?

    Does this article prove that BSN nurses are safer than ASN?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Roland's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    i agree with the most of the above posts. i would not, however, make a blanket statement and say "yes, education does matter", or "adn nurses are just as good as bsn". i have my own opinions based...

    Blood transfusions

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to nursing04's topic in Medical-Surgical

    What was harder? Non-nursing bachelors or ADN?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    that is point exactly, but i guess it was missed. i am not belittling the bs or ba in non-nursing (like the op's narrow-minded boss is with the adn degree). and if you continued reading my post, i...

    dumb questions

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to mediatix8's topic in General Nursing

    you're probably even more confused now, as half of the respondants said yes and half said no. i would go with 'yes', only b/c in my experience i've been on the day shift side of a nurse not calling...

    Advantages of advances from ADN to BSN

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Rqmichele's topic in California Nursing

    okay, I'll give it a shot. Generally speaking, no. Not as an RN on the floor. By the time I got my BSN (8 yrs after the ADN), I had grown as a nurse, so I attribute it to that. There was no more...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain posted a topic in Oncology

    Okay, this is really bugging me. My friend (and coworker) had to give Etoposide the other night. And like a good little doo-bee, she looked up the med on the hospital's computerized drug reference...
