  1. A Ban=Bsn?

    smartnurse1982 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am worried that many nursing managers will just toss my resume if i get a Ban because many do not know what it is. Also,with so much emphasis on Bsn i wondered why the ANA has not mentioned anything...

  2. A Ban=Bsn?

    smartnurse1982 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am already an Rn. That is how it would just be 2 semesters,because it is an Rn to Ban. The program itself is in

    I consider it rude to derail her thread when her main issue is false

    smartnurse1982 replied to Elektra6's topic in Private Duty

    No. There is a thread about falsifying notes and she implies she works for an agency and bills Medicaid

  5. Where are all the nurses?

    smartnurse1982 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Many nurses on Allnurses seem to believe that Ltc nurses lose their skills too. Many seem to think we just pass out oral meds all day. I was kind of shocked when a med surg nurse did not know how to...

  6. Where are all the nurses?

    smartnurse1982 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That is what everyone tells new grads. Many old professors have told me that if you do not work med surg and end up in Ltc that you are doomed there for the rest of your career. Also,many said ltc...

  7. Tired of unpaid OT

    smartnurse1982 replied to Elektra6's topic in Private Duty

    What about nurses who work for an agency but receive a 1099? i used to receive one from this agency 2 yrs ago,and i paid my own taxes. i also see nurses on this board who work for agencies but bill...

  8. Are LPN's going to be phased back into the hospital settings?

    smartnurse1982 replied to mfigueroa22's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I worked as an Rn briefly in NC and Sc. They did have some weird things going on,but i think Nj may be unique in that lpn's can even insert G-buttons nor Ngt's if they come out. Did you know Cna's can...

  9. Any ADN-BSN programs without ridiculous papers?

    smartnurse1982 replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have always wondered about this. Maybe you won't have to write ridiculous papers for a BAN? Bachelor of Arts in

  10. Are LPN's going to be phased back into the hospital settings?

    smartnurse1982 replied to mfigueroa22's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  11. Are LPN's going to be phased back into the hospital settings?

    smartnurse1982 replied to mfigueroa22's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Actually,in some places Cna's can give meds. They are known as med aides. There is nothing wrong with lpn's working in the hospital,but to say "lpn's can do what Rn's can do but cheaper" is wrong. Of...

  12. Where are my rights as a RN? Is this true...

    smartnurse1982 replied to SoulSpirit_Rn's topic in General Nursing

    I will never,ever be a nurse manager or supervisor. I guess i will stick with being the lowly staff nurse. We probably need to go back to the Total Care Nursing model. I know it is expensive

    smartnurse1982 replied to mfigueroa22's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I still have a big problem with this

  14. Are LPN's going to be phased back into the hospital settings?

    smartnurse1982 replied to mfigueroa22's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In NJ lpn's are restricted to the point that we could not access Picc lines and Central lines. I am not a new Rn either,been one for 6 yrs,but i do not work in the type of setting that requires...

  18. Preferred Home Health Care Agency?!

    smartnurse1982 replied to SueSueRNBSN's topic in Home Health

    This agency LOVES new grads so they can "sucker" you in...RUN! They will not hire nurses with experience,from what i am told and from experience. With this agency,you will be working more than trachs...

    smartnurse1982 replied to RockerRN's topic in Home Health

    Wow,i do not understand that one! Were you hired by an agency to work with a few clients in the place or are you actually on

  20. Tired of unpaid OT

    smartnurse1982 replied to Elektra6's topic in Private Duty

    I guess homecare nurses who get paid a flat fee for each pt are exempt? I actually wanted to try Homecare(hourly) visits,but it seems the nurses actually work more than Pdn nurses,esp with all that...

    smartnurse1982 replied to Elektra6's topic in Private Duty

    I do not understand what you are saying...the state obviously deems us "Professional" otherwise it would not be on our licenses. "Even though, technically,since most Rn's are not salaried and punch a...

    smartnurse1982 replied to Elektra6's topic in Private Duty

    The name of the old thread i am referring to is titled "Lpn's winners and Rn's losers". I always thought Rn's were considered professionals in the law Bush signed? I mean,our licenses do...

    smartnurse1982 replied to Elektra6's topic in Private Duty

    Uh Oh,agency M owes me big time,over 2 yrs of OT. i was field so i was not salaried. They would mention the federal law(signed by Bush). My other agency did pay time and a half for anything over 40...

  25. When You Request I Switch Shifts with You

    smartnurse1982 replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I really do not like a nurse who does show appreciation that i switched for her benefit. One coworker that asked me to work for her on Christmas because she had a 2 yr old. i said yes. When i saw this...
