  1. Why is it called RN-to-BSN/MSN instead of ADN-to-BSN/MSN

    TheSquire replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Nope - Durable to most ephemeral. The order is: Religious membership/degrees, Academic Degrees, Licenses, Certifications, Fellowships. The RN, as a License, should follow an academic degree, no...

  2. MEN IN NURSING

    TheSquire replied to Cherry29's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I dislike this kind of attitude - a nurse is a generalist, which means that he/she needs to be exposed to the entire field, whether or not it's what they're interested in. Any nursing student,...

  6. Chicago Nursing Schools BSN... Need Info Please...

    TheSquire replied to Student4Life82's topic in Illinois Nursing

    In the city? You're stuck with the City's Community Colleges or with with Robert Morris, which is private and thus really expensive for just an ADN. Also, have you looked at the prereq list for the...

  7. Why is it called RN-to-BSN/MSN instead of ADN-to-BSN/MSN

    TheSquire replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Another factor may be that the common practice in the US is to omit associates degrees from one's post-nominal letters - as such, both a diploma and an associate's nurse will style themselves as Jane...

  9. New Nurses! Post here, Lets get to know one another!

    TheSquire replied to avidhunter3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It looks like this is an LPN party, but I'll chime in anyway. I graduated from my masters-entry RN program the weekend before Thanksgiving, sat and passed the NCLEX-RN the second week of December, had...

    TheSquire replied to EwokRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Would you be working as an EMT or Pre-hospital RN? Also, are you a Basic or a Paramedic? The issue isn't really the BON rather than the lawyers coming at you as an RN when you're working solely on...

  11. Sterile Glove Size Advice

    TheSquire replied to NewBeginning's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm an 8 for fencing gloves (as in, "engarde!") and an 8 with sterile gloves - you might want to ask on one of the main forums, but I think there's a standard sizing for gloves. I've actually seen...

  13. How long did it take to get your license?

    TheSquire replied to whill08's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The State of Illinois issued my license about 3 weeks after I received my official Pass Letter and mailed them their check - which itself was a week and a half after I sat the exam. The 2007 Nurse...

  14. Best States to Study Nursing & Take RN Exam?

    TheSquire replied to Eggiejoy8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The exam is not harder; the educational requirements students satisfy before being permitted to take the NCLEX-RN are more involved and a pain to go back and do after-the-fact. The NCLEX-RN itself is...

  15. Meiosis-haploid... and then????

    TheSquire replied to TheresaW.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Short answer: Chromatids do not a chromosome make. Long answer: Eukaryotic chromosomes are counted by the number of centromeres present in the cell. After S phase, sister chromatids are joined at a...

  16. Keeping counsellors informed?!?

    TheSquire replied to campmonkey's topic in Camp

    Not at my camp - but I work at a Scout camp, where the Adult Leaders for each unit, not the counselors, hold responsibility for the campers. The adult leaders generally do accompany the scouts to the...

    TheSquire replied to oscarfarnacio's topic in General Nursing

    Having been the new grad who got interviewed (AND HIRED!) in an ED with my ACLS and EMT-B certs on top of my new RN license, I have to second this. If you want to go into some flavor of Critical...

  20. New Grad RN CAN'T FIND WORK!! What should I do?

    TheSquire replied to Aubrey88RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was a November grad and had my license within a month of graduating, so I was in a different boat than a lot of you (and I won't even say how long it took me to find my job, since it'd only upset a...

    ...or you could just mark where the second hand has to be in 15/30/60 seconds and watch that spot while you count the pulse. You stop counting when you see the second hand hit that
