    That only happens on TV!

  3. Horizontal Hostility Crisis / HR

    j621d replied to pistolchick's topic in General Nursing

    I have been in a somewhat similar position. I am not in a job where I do patient care, but there are some parallels here. I was to present some information at a meeting on July 5th, and it was...

  4. Advice for my friend re: GPA

    j621d replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    She should go to the school and talk to them. Putting a face to the application may help her. I'm sure she could talk to someone to explain the situation, not that an explaination will cover...

    Don't "dumb down" your resume. I would place an emphasis on how your qualifications will benefit the

  6. What's the point of getting a BSN?

    j621d replied to nikkir386's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I obtained a bachelor's in business before I realized I should have gone into nursing. I applied to both an ADN program and BSN (was accepted into both). I opted for the BSN route, as it would take...

  7. time managament ..sniff~

    j621d replied to erin01's topic in General Nursing

    The problem I see is the preceptor may not be the best in time management. The preceptor should have been helping you to stay on track by guiding you. With two nurses (you and preceptor) you should...

  8. What would you have said to this CNA

    j621d replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As the RN, you are the leader. If you were flustered (I probably would have been) go to the charge nurse - using the chain of command. Talk to her first, as it will help you get your wits about you....

    j621d replied to mwboswell's topic in Emergency

    If it's not an emergency, you shouldn't be at the ED, regardless of

  10. What are the benefits and downsides of being a nurse?

    j621d replied to CherryB's topic in General Nursing

    I really beg to differ on the "burn out rate." There are SO many opportunities in nursing that you really shouldn't burn out. I have worked for the same hospital for almost 25 years, but have made...

  11. Well the local nursing schools have FINALLY DONE IT

    j621d replied to nurz2be's topic in Florida Nursing

    I beg to differ regarding the "useless degree." I have a Bachelors in Business Administration (prior to my BSN), and it has opened doors for me. When you are ready to leave floor nursing that degree...

  12. How many schools did everyone apply to?

    j621d replied to NHRNmomof3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    University of Central Florida just dropped the GRE requirement for the Nurse Educator

  14. Would I have any problems being a nurse with an associates degree?

    j621d replied to pinkstar17's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree with Tweety, too. I started out thinking I only wanted to be a floor nurse, but after 6 years in critical care I was ready for a change. I had my BSN with helped me get a different job over...

  15. I Want To Cchange Careers To Nursing Nut I Dont Know What To Do?

    j621d replied to LoveNursing44's topic in Nursing Career

    I would like to share my experience with you. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Business Administration in 1980, but what I really wanted to do was be a nurse. My GPA was low (lots of "C's"), but...
