  3. University of North Dakota PhD

    oldenurselady posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I would like input from anyone who may have experience with this program. My goal is to teach. I am seeing that the PhD is becoming the standard in academia. Not a lot of opportunity for an MSN like...

  4. Nurses eat their young - now I understand why.

    oldenurselady replied to RN_Marie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am guilty of not reading all of the posts in this thread. I am having a difficult time now with some of my new manager's (who seems ok) new hires. I literally think they were asked if they were the...

  5. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    oldenurselady replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Planned Parenthood is supposed to follow the rules and laws like anyone else. If the rule is that no organization being investigated gets Komen funds, I guess PP and PSU are out of luck until they are...

    oldenurselady replied to utahskiier's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I agree you need some experience. You may find that after some ICU experience that this type of field is simply not for you. I have an OB background and find so many nurses who had the goal of...

  7. Gen X,Gen Y,baby boomers in the work place

    oldenurselady replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it depends on your unit. I think some people do a few years of nursing and the schedule gets to them. I had a forty something co-worker who became a nurse in her late 30's. She would...

  8. Gen X,Gen Y,baby boomers in the work place

    oldenurselady replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    I have taught classes to people who text constantly and then interrupt to say they didn't get the last point. WTH is wrong with them? I have no issues with a short message from the kid, Mom/dad i got...

    How can you move forward with effectively implementing a new system when manager and informatics nurse believe any criticism of the system will not be tolerated? This is very divisive and makes...

  11. Computer system and informatics nurse rant!

    oldenurselady replied to oldenurselady's topic in General Nursing

    People are frustrated with the system! They vent. It is a learning curve. Folks were read the riot act by manager. It is causing an increased amount of time to complete tasks as people learn the...

  12. What do I do after my clinical instructor told me I will never be a good nurse?

    oldenurselady replied to starrys's topic in General Students

    Prove her wrong. Maybe the subject is just not your forte. Get through it and move on. Look to your ultimate goal. It is just her opinion and not a fact unless you decide to make it

  13. Get CCRN with l&d experience?

    oldenurselady replied to nursephoebe's topic in General Nursing

    I think some of the critical care folks may have egos which are LGA!!! Funny, but the indignation is a bit over the top. Sheesh it was just a question. Probably just a mistake. Could be, oh no, a...

    I have been a nurse for more than 20 years. I have been at the same facility for about 10 years. This facility is within walking distance of my home. Currently, I am in an educator position. One of...

  16. Sad and disgusted

    oldenurselady replied to oldenurselady's topic in General Nursing

    I thank everyone for the replies. When my 25 year old daughter was a teen, she volunteered at the hospital. She felt the women on my unit were "very gossipy and mean." At the time, I was working...
