Thanks for the info!

Also, I got an email saying I got a reply from denders but don't see anything? Any suggestions as to why? I can only read the first sentence then it gives a link back to this thread to finish reading?

Hi everyone!I am thinking about military nursing and am wondering if there is much need for Peds nurses? Will I be able to do Peds as active duty or will I get put in med/surg? Is there a certain branch that would be more likely to place in Peds? Or certain hospital? And how would it work if you had to do a deployment? Any help is much appreciated.Thanks! :)

It would be a nursing mistake, not sure how severe but am thinking for the debate that it doesn't matter. I guess the question it, it the pt isn't hurt by it do you admit the mistake to the family??

I am participating in a grp debate in my nursing topics class and was wondering if anyone had any insights into this topic. The debate is over whether or not a nurse should tell the family when a mistake is made w/o any harm to the pt. Does anyone know of any articles or studies that have to do with this topic? Any opinions would be much appreciated also. Thanks in advance :):typing

Hello, I am not sure what all the concern is about not being able to get a job in CO for nursing, from my experience there still is a shortage in CO. I am not yet a nurse but i have RN friends and RN student friends, I will be starting school this Oct. I think that prob is that there are only so many new grad positions. Also, some hospitals in denver only hire BSN's (i.e. University Hospital). Now, i don't think anyone can tell you what the best hospital is, b/c the "best" really comes down to you and what your looking for. If i were you i would look at a previous thread that talks about the different hospitals in Denver/metro Denver just to get an idea. You will find that some hospitals might fit you better due to the trauma level or the specialities etc.

I have a question about the BSN program, I know that it is 22months long. I was wondering if anyone is allowed to take one an extra class etc., to speed up the process?? Thanks:D

I don't have by RN yet, can you do an online BSN w/o RN?? I dunno, i have some decisions to make! Thanks

Thanks for your insight and help!!! Will do

I am a grad of UNC, however they are really really competitive!! The acceleraded program only takes like 10 people and you have to work in Norther CO for 2yrs. I dunno maybe going in as a regualr student at UNC??

I am from Denver, and i have looked into other schools. Regis U, i applied and didn't get in they denied 2/3 of the applicant pool. Metro/CU Denver i couldn't apply for b/c i just finished my pre-reqs and didn't meet the deadline.

Shoot!!! I was thinking this much but thought i would ask. The only thing i can think to do is wait until the school gets its accreditation and then go for the military?? The prob is i really don't want to wait anylonger (im not getting any younger!) and i really want to get my BSN not ADN b/c i already have a BA. Geeezzzz i with is wasn't such a pain to get into nursing school!

Yikes!!! Three 12's in a row!!! Go to bed

i think undercover nursing would be a great idea!!! of course not conducted by the hospital itself but by and independent evaluating agency, that will publish its report for both admin and staff to read. i think that would be the only way to get right down to what the probs are. when staff knows that an eval is occurring then everyone is on guard and the evel is not being conducted in the "real working atmosphere" and thus results are of little use. i think it would also be great for the admin to be evaluated also, so they can see first hand how they affect the staff. and if current nurses do the eval then of course there will be biases, fear of retribution etc., and it is easy for the admin to dismiss the findings, but not if an independent contractor does it. also, if an independent nurse does the eval, then it would be an eval of the entire program/hospital (from nurse perspective) as a whole; no one person/nurse would be targeted (unless something really really bad was going on), it would be a general perspective.
