   Should I just give up?

   ArrowRN replied to Bunnymummy's topic in Online Learning

   If you got a BS degree already you should be trying BSN program applications or accelerated BSN programs, not just ADN. When I first applied I actually got denied to ASN programs and actually got into the BSN program which was my top choice anyways.....

   How do you handle female patients your age or younger?

   ArrowRN replied to DanGIT1322's topic in Men

   It's way too easy to get accused of something. I get a female in there with me, its always an option so I don't see why I should take the risk. Younger females are just uncomfortable with men in general and it should be done.

   Am I a woosy for feeling 5 patients is too much on a medsurg floor

   ArrowRN replied to PaperPushingRN's topic in General Nursing

   It really depends on the type of med surg floor you are on and how sick the patients are. For me 5 is just on the edge of tolerable but it takes only 1 patient to turn it to a nightmare. Most hospitals in my area do up to 7...I will stick with my hos...

   Not told of lower training pay

   ArrowRN replied to amberlt91's topic in General Nursing

   I have never liked "graduate" positions. I believe in focusing all your time towards passing the NCLEX than looking for a job. My gut would tell me to run from this verbal offer, its a bait and switch, why should you have to settle? What did they say...

    ArrowRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I haven't written anything in a while, but keeping it short and venting...I am just so frustrated with all these employers who are treating nurses are second grade employees when it comes to parking. Doctors get priviliges such as their own lots clos...
