  1. Anyone heard anything about no more masters degrees?

    quetepye posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm in a BSN-RN program and one of our instructors mentioned how supposedly, there will be no more MSNs - everyone will be required to get doctorates, sort of like what happened to the physical...

  2. HELP! Social question-over the line?

    quetepye replied to jlove1821's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow, this is a tough one. I'm a student nurse and have seen a few issues like this come up already. They puzzle me since there are so many sides, plus there is no unanimous standard. They don't...

  3. Diff b/w PICC and Central Line

    quetepye replied to angelique777's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Interesting. I didn't have a central line until I woke up from my liver transplant - the line was just there. But they found that it was too far in after a CXR so they reinserted it and did another...

  4. Diff b/w PICC and Central Line

    quetepye replied to angelique777's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Bump. My question is, why would you choose a central line over a PICC line with all the risks? Plus, I had a transplant and had a central line myself and after seeing how invasive and annoying it...

  5. Is anatomy one of the toughest courses for nursing?

    quetepye replied to Toots71506's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not at all! For me, nothing held a candle to physiological chemistry, and once in nursing school, general nursing of adults is a ton of info in a small m amount of time! I guess it all depends what...

  6. Do you call your teachers by their 1st names?

    quetepye replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

    They always introduce themselves by first names, and I've never heard a clinical instructor be called

  7. Pediatric oncology

    quetepye posted a topic in Pediatric

    I'm working on my BSN-RN and have loved every encounter I've had with pediatric oncology. Next summer I'll be doing an adult oncology externship, but my real love is for pediatrics. Any...

  8. The "extra hard" 2010 NCLEX?

    quetepye posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So I've heard the rumors are true... the NCLEX-RN in 2010 will be "harder than ever." How so? I'm currently in my junior rotation of school, get As and Bs, but don't do so well in the NCLEX...

  9. Anyone heard anything about no more masters degrees?

    quetepye replied to quetepye's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yeah, this came up again in clinicals today. Our new clinical instructor is a MSN CNP and says she will be grandfathered in, but they're doing away with MSNs, going the "physical therapy" way and...

  10. Nurses in oncology having stillborns

    quetepye posted a topic in Oncology

    Hi, I'm a student in a BSN-RN program and am really interested in oncology nursing. I decided to do my summer externship on an oncology inpatient unit until a friend of mine who works on an oncology...

  11. Snow- at what point do you call out?

    quetepye replied to EMSnut45's topic in General Nursing

    Good questions & answers. How about students and clinicals? I'm getting nervous for this coming semester - clinicals an hour away in Cleveland (lake effect!) and I'm absolutely terrified of...

  12. Nurses in oncology having stillborns

    quetepye replied to quetepye's topic in Oncology

    How about if I'm not going to try to conceive for a while? My fiance and I want children - not for a few years, but definitely when it's the right time! Will working with chemo/oncology directly...

  13. RN student thinking about going for LPN...

    quetepye posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    ... this is my 5th year in a BSN-RN program and it's going so slowly. I have a lot of health problems that are getting in the way of the rest of my schooling so I'm thinking of transferring to a LPN...

  14. Publishing in Nursing

    quetepye replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've done freelancing for Kaplan. Sometimes you'll just see a random "call for submissions" floating around nursing blogs/this site. Kaplan just told me they're done with the series, but who knows...

  15. LPN - RN Schools in NE Ohio (Cleveland Area)...Please help =)

    quetepye replied to Mspie23's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm in BSN-RN at Kent state - they have a few campuses and different options as well. I love it here! I know we have an LPN-BSN/RN option. :) Good

  16. Anyone heard anything about no more masters degrees?

    quetepye replied to quetepye's topic in Advanced Practice

    Right now does EVERY APN (NP, CNS, etc.) degree consist of a MSN? Or is that something you get first? And what are the "four" advanced practice roles? Are they the only types of the APN/MSN/? you...

  17. Nursing school.... is just a bunch of BUSY WORK?

    quetepye replied to SilenceDogood's topic in General Students

    Yes, definitely. I think mostly everything is okay, but there are definite assignments you have to wonder about. Right now I have a clinical instructor who is insane - she wants nearly 100 drug cards...

  18. People are dropping like flies

    quetepye replied to 20mom10's topic in General Students

    I'm in a BSN-RN program, and we lost a TON of people in "pre-nursing" because they couldn't get through the 3 semesters of chemistry, the A&P, etc. We even lost a few in our "Intro to...

  19. Missed Clinical Orient. May be Expelled

    quetepye replied to dozndawg's topic in General Students

    I agree!! But for other reasons - like if we were to miss because of being sick or registering late, especially for the first day/orientation, I can't imagine any of my past instructors would have...

  20. Nursing students

    quetepye replied to rxsalas's topic in General Students

    This is interesting to me. I'm a student and I can tell which nurses like us, which don't, and which don't but are pretending to. I just make sure I do absolutely everything I know to do, keep the...

  21. Anyone heard anything about no more masters degrees?

    quetepye replied to quetepye's topic in Advanced Practice

    Do you have a link to "official" information on this? Is it ONLY nurse practiioners that are affected, or other APNs as well? Will existing NPs be "grandfathered in" or will they all have to get...

  22. Please Help! Super short survey

    quetepye replied to MagsFree34's topic in General Nursing

    Going to the link right now! Good luck

  23. Anyone heard anything about no more masters degrees?

    quetepye replied to quetepye's topic in Advanced Practice

    VERY confusing! There are already "doctor nurses" with of course the standard doctorate and now the "doctor of practice" degree they recently approved (last few years maybe?). Honestly? I LOVE the...

  24. Should the H1N1 Vaccine be mandatory for Healthcare Professionals?

    quetepye replied to Brian's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I say no. Why should it be? Now, just for the record, I DID get the H1N1 vaccine because I'm immunocompromised to the point of where getting H1N1 would probably be worse than any vaccine effects....

  25. Anyone heard anything about no more masters degrees?

    quetepye replied to quetepye's topic in Advanced Practice

    I know. I Googled it, etc. and I'm not even sure where to go to find more info. Our school used to have a bachelors-MSN straight program (partially online) where you would go for your RN-BSN while...
