    ok2bme replied to jean36's topic in General Nursing

    ok2bme replied to jessLPN12's topic in General Nursing

    ok2bme replied to marineswife0809's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    ok2bme replied to MattiesMama's topic in General Students

    Omgosh! :icon_hug: I would definitely file an appeal..who is your program director's superior? Is there a Dean? I would go up the chain of command everytime you get an answer you don't like. I think...

    ok2bme replied to freakjojo06's topic in General Students

    ew! i come from a family of doctors and no one has such arrogant, smug, condescending perspectives. i guess that is because patronizing is reserved for those with insecurities or inferiority...

  16. Nurses Are Professionals? Oh Really?

    ok2bme replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    To me the "is nursing a profession?" debate is about semantics and tradition, I just graduated from NS a week ago..and based on the myriad of nurses I worked with in clinicals, I think some nurses...

  17. Accelerated vs. Traditional BSN - what should i do?

    ok2bme replied to ryantherunner's topic in General Nursing

    I'll go against the consensus and recommend accelerated. I just graduated from a 14 month long ABSN program (last Saturday!) and have no regrets. It's intense but certainly doable, if you stay focused...

  19. How does management encourage or discourage bullying?

    ok2bme replied to country mom's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I find this intriguing as well. In nursing there does seem to be a lot of lateral violence and bullying. I think it is because nursing is highly stressful and demanding, but the biggest factor is the...

    ok2bme replied to Nursing Student 09's topic in General Nursing

    Ignore the person who compared your nursing dream to a childhood ballerina fantasy. Some people will blindly support the position in authority. Better her than you or I! Apply to every nursing...

    ok2bme replied to tbell2's topic in General Students

    this is the worst mistake so far on the thread but i'll share in hopes that those reading will be careful not to make the same error. i was in med/surg i..probably about halfway through and i had hung...

  24. how do i become a NICU nurse?

    ok2bme replied to pietrami's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm in nursing school and NICU is by far my top choice of specialty. I think most wannabe NICU nurses have a harder time landing a job than the poster above me. It is one of the more competitive...
