    smartnurse1982 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    A bachelors is a bachelors may be right,but it seems employers want bsn degrees,but yes,the Ban is confusing. I was looking at the ban as an option. I wonder if a ban would be disqualified for jobs...

    smartnurse1982 replied to edogs334's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Kudos to this post. There is something that a poster wrote that irks me. Why should a nurse who specializes get paid more? The reason it irks me is because I do home health and work in the nursing...

  8. Did everyone flunk their college writing courses?

    smartnurse1982 replied to AZO49008's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everything you said. Also,having English as a second language is no excuse, as many have said it is an excuse to use poor grammar. How do these people make it pass English 101 and pass...

    smartnurse1982 replied to tiredcollegestudent's topic in General Nursing

    In Nc I was working in a Pediatric psych group home as the only nurse there,everyone i was in charge of were called resident mentors with no training to pass meds . A med error by one of them on a...

  12. unlicensed staff passing medication

    smartnurse1982 replied to tiredcollegestudent's topic in General Nursing

    And people wonder why we have a glut of nurses. As I stated in another thread,why would they spend $20.00/hr for a nurse when they could pay a can $8.00 to do it? Time to take back our

  13. Lack of nursing jobs

    smartnurse1982 replied to Redhead28's topic in General Nursing

    The point is new grads and nurses from other parts still have to weary when moving to other parts of the country. I'm from the city and I moved to a rural part of Nc and Sc. They would rather still...

  14. Lack of nursing jobs

    smartnurse1982 replied to Redhead28's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone is right about location. Also would like to point out that I would no longer recommend new nursing grads move to land a job. From my personal experience moving from Nj to the southern Nc and...

  15. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    smartnurse1982 replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Interesting commemts from all. Not to be inflammatory,but some areas of the Us are really going to have a tough time if the Bsn were implemented,particulary the south and midwest. I think its due to...

  17. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    smartnurse1982 replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hello. I plan on moving to south Jersey from Nc. Is the job market bad for new grads or for experienced nurses also? Are ltc facilities and hh still hiring? You know what's funny? In Nc they wanted...

  18. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    smartnurse1982 replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That's accurate. Places like California,New York,and Nj are going to have higher salaries. Sure,I made 100,000 the year before but what people don't mention is overtime. For me,I had 2 full time jobs...

  19. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    smartnurse1982 replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    All an adn like me and everyone has to do is take those fluff classes via the internet,its that simple. We don't even need to leave the house for that. Why are we complaining? As I said before,more...

  20. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    smartnurse1982 replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Totally true. I always wondered about the adn nurses who have 25 years experience that say you don't need a bsn.I wonder when it comes down to an adn with 25 years experience vs a bsn with 5 years...

  21. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    smartnurse1982 replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You are lucky,but not too many adn grads are. In Nj adns are no longer being considered for hospital positions,so therefore most,like me,cannot even get in the door for the

  22. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    smartnurse1982 replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    A lot of nurses with 5 plus years experience are saying that not having a bsn didn't stop them in their careers. But its a different place and time now,and someone like me would absolutely need a bsn...

  23. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    smartnurse1982 replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This statement is true for the most part. However,its a different time and place,with the economy being in the tank.if you want an advantage over ,say,75% of nurses then the bsn is the way to go. As...

  24. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    smartnurse1982 replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Siits my opinion that it depends on the region of the Usa. For instance,the northeast in general tends to have more college grads, so I know in these areas the bsn is prefered. Here in the south,they...

  25. Posting advice: "I can't do this, ...I don't understand you"

    smartnurse1982 replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    Please,please someone also needs to say something to the posts with "please help" in the title. Its really annoying,as if it will make us notice it because it says"please help". When I see that,I move...
