  1. Overtime?

    ok2bme replied to Reminisce's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    oops..didn't realize you did post on the crna forum, thought this was the general discussion, I'm leaving

  2. Overtime?

    ok2bme replied to Reminisce's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I know CRNAs who admit that they are in it for the money...they are not disappointed. If relatively high financial security and compensation is important to you, CRNA is a great route. I have zero...

  3. Is it RN,BSN or BSN,RN

    ok2bme replied to ava'smomRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    i agree..i laughed so hard at that "don't think you are better than adn nurses, bsn is a waste of time..." the op did not insinuate that she is above and/diploma nurses. some of the responses were...

  4. Did you do your research BEFORE you became a nurse?

    ok2bme replied to Tyler77's topic in General Students

    Yes, I did get into nursing for the money. 6 months out of school and I get $28.75/hr in Houston. Do you have a problem with that? Oh well..that's your distress..not mine.

  5. Why are some nurses so rude to students?

    ok2bme replied to kayty2339's topic in General Nursing

    They're just crabs..their sore behavior is a reflection of them and not

    ok2bme replied to SoulShine75's topic in General Students

    Cool site! My top choice was Pediatric & Adolescent Psychiatry, which is what I

  7. Anyone been fired from their first job in less than a year?

    ok2bme replied to Honeybun1206's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You are not alone..I was fired a few months into the job, except I was fired for telling some of my coworkers to "f^$# off" I would recommend going to your nurse manager and tell her that you are...

  8. Comfort Food After a L o n g Shift

    ok2bme replied to EMSnut45's topic in General Nursing

    Bagel bites and a wine

  9. Don't like to say I'm an RN. Long...

    ok2bme replied to MrsCaseyRN's topic in General Nursing

    They're clearly just jealous...overcompensating for inferiority complexes. I would just tell them that since I haven't gone to both programs, I don't know the similarities/differences. You don't have...

  10. Who pinned you?

    ok2bme replied to missbutton's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Our dean pinned us, she was a witchy hag and a horrendous teacher..I wish we could have chosen. I would have chosen some of my fellow classmates, we grew close like family and I would not have...

  11. Graduate Nurse starting salary? All feedbacks welcome!

    ok2bme replied to Pugwawa's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm in Houston New grads get $23.50/hr After residency, we get a dollar more I'll be working evenings (3-11), so after the 15% diff I'll get about $27/hr Not bad

  12. Is putting 'BSN' on badge snobbish?

    ok2bme replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    I am very proud of my BSN. In fact, I am more proud of being an accelerated-BSN grad than I am of being an RN. However, you will only see "RN" behind my name. As you can see from this thread...there...

  13. Where are all of the "experienced nurses hiding?"

    ok2bme replied to SWS RN's topic in General Nursing

    They are in nursing. Nursing is a broad field that includes licensed nurses as well as MAs, CNAs, ER Techs, Psych Techs, etc. Because their posts irriate you, is it possible that you notice them more?...

  14. Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Programs

    ok2bme replied to glascow's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thank you NYCRN16! All the best with your graduate studies and

  15. EMT a plus or a minus?

    ok2bme replied to cookderosa's topic in Nursing Career

    You have gotten some inaccurate information on this thread. EMTs are not first responders. EMTs have much more breadth and depth of knowledge and training. Also, you learn a lot more than "first aid."...

  16. 1st Jail time awarded for HIPAA violation accessing/reading medical records

    ok2bme replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Wow, I don't condone what he did, but that's really harsh. I think firing him and mandatory education would have been more appropriate. I think jail time would have only been warranted if he had...

  17. do you have to tell nursing school your bipolar?

    ok2bme replied to uglybetty1002's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I agree with the previous posters. I have disclosed my mental illnesses (MDD, ED) during physicals, for nursing schools and job offers. My reason for doing so is because most likely I knew I would be...

  18. I've been bullied all my life, and it continues...

    ok2bme replied to asdjkl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was in a similar situation a few months ago..I told those bitties to "f... off." I got fired. If I could do it all over again..I would have also given them the bird lol. I now work in an awesome...

  19. Anyone can obtain RN license plate

    ok2bme replied to bullet27fRN's topic in General Nursing

    This does not bother me in the least. I am so sick of these type of posts.."I know an MA who introduces herself as nurse!", "Non-nurses, Pharmacists, are giving flu shots!" "A nursing student told me...

  20. Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Programs

    ok2bme replied to glascow's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi NYCRN..are there any ACNP programs in nyc? I am moving there soon and am interested in the degree. I am about to do research and check it out myself but just wondering if you could give me a...

    ok2bme replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    She was such an advocate..for nursing, students, and patients. Thank you

  22. Nurse Practitioner or Physician's Assistant?

    ok2bme replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    I complete disagree with your first sentence. Yes of course it is essential that physicians are knowledgeable and competent, but it also crucial that they build rapport with patients, listen,...

  23. New to nursing with no nursing background!

    ok2bme replied to sasha0820's topic in General Nursing

    Wanting job security (though it's dwindling), decent pay, benefits, and set hours are all fine reasons to go into nursing. I went into nursing because I realized that in only a year (Acc BSN) I would...

  24. What's wrong with seeking stability & security?

    ok2bme replied to oneflyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure why TheDude got such a negative reaction..to many of us, nursing is just a job. I clock in, do my job and do it well, and clock out. My job and patients are a distant memory to me once I...

  25. Is a 12 month BSN too fast to learn the material well?

    ok2bme replied to cacurlytop's topic in General Students

    Hi Chica..I assume the OP is talking about a post-bac accelerated BSN program. These are 1 year programs instead of two. To qualify, you must have a bachelor's degree already (which is what makes it a...
