  1. How does everyone feel about nursing theory

    allaboutthefamily posted a topic in General Nursing

    Thank god the BSN program I am in has not subjected me to a nursing theory course, I had enough of it in the first two chapters of my fundamentals book. I just wanted to know what you practicing...

  2. What are the worst reasons to get into nursing?

    allaboutthefamily replied to mayana's topic in General Nursing

    As long as you are commited to being good at what you do, that means being a good patient advocate, putting the patients needs first, etc. I do not think there are any bad reasons for wanting to...

  3. I'm supposed to wear an "Ask me if I washed my hands!" button?!

    allaboutthefamily replied to daisybaby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    But I still say I will do it, I was never the kid sayin "But mom they dont have to eat thier vegetables". If its good for us its good for

  4. I'm supposed to wear an "Ask me if I washed my hands!" button?!

    allaboutthefamily replied to daisybaby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree, I did not think of it that way. At my hospital it is not mandatory, but many nurses and non-licensed personel where the buttons. Doctors are the worst at hand washing in my (very limited)...

    allaboutthefamily replied to ivfhelp's topic in California Nursing

    Very good points, I myself got really lucky (blessed) on the CC front. Never had a problem but I know many that have, so you have a valid

  6. West Coast University

    allaboutthefamily replied to ivfhelp's topic in California Nursing

    The only thing that makes me weary of reccomending WCU to alot of the people that ask me for advice is the fact that the credits will not transfer over if you needed to bail. That is to say, is you...

  7. I'm supposed to wear an "Ask me if I washed my hands!" button?!

    allaboutthefamily replied to daisybaby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If it is demeaning then perhaps we deserve it, but I do not feel that was the intention of the message. As my uncle always said, do not look for insult where none was intended. Numerous studies...

  8. How does everyone feel about nursing theory

    allaboutthefamily replied to allaboutthefamily's topic in General Nursing

    When I first read this I thought you were "afraid to click the link" because it might "blow your mind", on second thought you probably meant you were afraid of a bad link giving you a virus or...

  9. How does everyone feel about nursing theory

    allaboutthefamily replied to allaboutthefamily's topic in General Nursing

    Ahh, I see. Maybe the author is making his point but only using one example (Rogers) because the others (Orem, etc.) would not weigh so heavily in his favor. I defenitely didnt want to trivialize...

  10. Share Your Funniest Patient Stories...

    allaboutthefamily replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    As a male nurse doing my OB rotation in school (currently) I had one experience that was embarassing and funny. I was taking care of a young woman who was in the early stages of labor and I was going...

  11. How much difference in pay do two year rn's get than four yr??

    allaboutthefamily replied to bigmac018's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I defenitely agree with a majority of the text written by NursePeace, and defenitely in regards to education level not making the nurse. The one thing I have always differed in opinion on is why...

  12. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    allaboutthefamily replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The last four paragraphs of the sidebar are simply.....

  13. Is This True!!!!!!!!

    allaboutthefamily replied to doggybour's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In my opinion I do not think it will ever happen, and it would be a shame if it did. There have been several states that have tried to initialize such legislation, but it usually does not pass. Even...

  14. How much difference in pay do two year rn's get than four yr??

    allaboutthefamily replied to bigmac018's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I honestly do not know what courses a ADN takes to graduate as opposed to BSN. If I am not mistaken the clinical hours are identical (at least in CA) for both paths. What I do know is that I had...

  15. How much difference in pay do two year rn's get than four yr??

    allaboutthefamily replied to bigmac018's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What would you find ridiculous about it? It is a proven fact that ADNs make more errors than BSN trained nurses, I was merely defending the ADN level of education by saying that I do not believe it...

  16. Want To Become A RN - Advice Greatly Appreciated

    allaboutthefamily replied to LookingToB's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Good point, I can defenitely see the advantages of of getting experience while going to school. I actually have an internship at a large, busy hospital in Los angeles where I try to get extra...

  17. Want To Become A RN - Advice Greatly Appreciated

    allaboutthefamily replied to LookingToB's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If you could "tough it out" for two years I would strongly reccomend a BSN or MSN bridge program at a university as opposed to an online curriculum. If you can get in then you would probably need to...

  18. How much difference in pay do two year rn's get than four yr??

    allaboutthefamily replied to bigmac018's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    "If BSN is better educated why do they take the same NECLEX as ADN? Hmmm. And, which group scores higher on the test? " 1) The "NCLEX", not neclex, is a minimum competancy exam whose purpose is to...

  19. How much difference in pay do two year rn's get than four yr??

    allaboutthefamily replied to bigmac018's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This topic is hard to comment on because there are so many feelings involved, I will do my best. 1) BSN staff nurses on average get less than a dollar more (national average) than ADN staff nurses,...
