  1. pathway to be a forensic nurse?

    Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to tsalvado's topic in Forensic

    You don't need a BSN, an associates in nursing will work just fine. :) Once you do that, you need to get certified as a FNE, SANE-A, or SANE-P, depending on what you'd like to focus on. Forensic...

  3. SANE training

    Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to syranurse's topic in Forensic

    To you and anyone else looking for training programs in the US, I'd look at the sane-sart site. It has a program locator. Either way, it looks like Meriter Hospital has a SANE program in your area....

    Wanna_BA_Nurse posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hello fellow student nurses and nurses! I have been looking at job postings on various sites and (to make a long story short) I keep seeing that they require one year experience as an RN. Well...once...

  7. How to get 'Experienced' RN jobs?

    Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to Wanna_BA_Nurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks! It helped a lot! I guess it was a stupid question now that I know the answer, but I was under the assumption that RNs could not apply to do an LPN's job. Oh well! Yes, thank you very

  8. Therapy for me....

    Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You can't catch a break, can you? You have it pretty rough when it comes to going back to school. I can't pretend I have any good advice for you, but I will say to stick it out. Like Klone said, if it...

  9. 17 year old Aspiring Male Nurse

    Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to copib2's topic in Male Nursing Students

    What he says is right. I must add though, do not get discouraged. Nursing school is designed to keep the people who don't really want it out and the ones who do really want it in. It is supposed to be...

  10. Male OB Frustration

    Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in Male Nursing Students

    That nurse seems a little immature and highly unprofessional. Jeez. Did you tell the DON? She can't treat you like that. It may not be a big deal to you, but that is technically harassment. I'm sorry....

    Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to copib2's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I can't speak from personal experience, but I am also (as you put) "no einstein" ESPECIALLY in math! Ugh! But I know I will make it through. You just have to be motivated (and organized lol). It is...

  13. Since when is it okay to brag about abusing a patient?

    Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to kristieRNsn2bFNP's topic in General Nursing

    Here is someone with WAY too much time on her hands. What happened happened - you can't change the facts or what the nurse who actually did the deed thinks of them. You can sit here and trash-talk the...

  14. Torn between continuing my education and my family :(

    Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in General Nursing

    If having the letters RN after your name is a dream for you then go for it (eventually)! From what you've described it doesn't sound like your environment is stable enough for you to continue your...

  15. Nursing and Forensics ???

    Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to 8856's topic in Forensic

    There are many sub-specialties in forensic nursing. The ones I am aware of are SANE (Sexual assault nurse examiners - they help and gather evidence from rape victims), FNDI (forensic nurse death...

    Hello everyone! I was looking at yet some more programs in my area when I noticed that one school offers both Associate of Applied Sciences and Associate of Science degrees. Is one better than the...

  18. stories or words of encouragement for 3 month @ the job

    Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to leah87's topic in First Year After Licensure

    :)Its good that you're actually aware, worried, and doing something about it. That is what good nurses do - they're aware of things. Anyway, the older nurses probably do look at you like you're...

    1: I don't find anything funny here... 2: For all I know you could (and would) have just edited that post. 3: I don't even know where that came from as the OP does not have a "very hard working...

  20. School giving me bad reputation...

    Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to patricianyc's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I certainly hope you didn't get that vibe from me! I don't think you're making this up and I think you did the right thing by contacting your attorney - especially because they are not on your...

  21. School giving me bad reputation...

    Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to patricianyc's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think if you put them on your reference list they can say whatever they want because you're the one who wrote them down. But if they aren't then that is slander - unless you really do suck at...

    Wanna_BA_Nurse replied to Wanna_BA_Nurse's topic in Nursing Career
