Is Excelsior right for me?

TiffyRN replied to Psha's topic in Excelsior College

I followed a link by PixieRN that is under our FAQs for EC. Under what clinical backgrounds qualify I copied only the section on RN student nurses but you can go to the page and see if you qualify...
Is Excelsior right for me?

TiffyRN replied to Psha's topic in Excelsior College

I'll let the experts chime in but I believe EC has stopped accepting RN students who haven't yet finished their studies. They used to do so. If you qualify in your State to take the NCLEX-PN then...
Disgusted

TiffyRN replied to kaypyn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

Thank you for your perspective BabyRN. My personal views are very consistent when it comes for mothers with other serious chronic conditions. It would make a fascinating and lively discussion but a...
Disgusted

TiffyRN replied to kaypyn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

I think we can respectfully disagree on this topic. I know the research consistently shows there isn't a difference in severity of symptoms regardless of dose but I am sadly vulnerable to the...
Disgusted

TiffyRN replied to kaypyn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

SSRIs cause minimal to no notable withdrawal symptoms. I've seen mild jitteriness and a little sneezing in just. a few of the kids exposed. Narcs on the other hand, in the case I spoke of was...
Disgusted

TiffyRN replied to kaypyn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

Yea, and then there's the ones that go through fertility while on massive PO narcs for whatever chronic condition they have (ok, I'm sorry they are chronically ill, don't wish that on anyone). Cause...
What does one do with a PhD in nursing?

TiffyRN replied to greygooseuria's topic in Post Graduate Students

Great insight llg! I was just accepted to a BSN to PhD program. As I worked through my BSN the last couple of years I found myself fascinated by the research and wanting to be involved in that. I have...
Would you give it to them?

TiffyRN replied to ProudMom511's topic in Geriatric, LTC

In my unit (different than LTC but irrelevant I believe)., the charge nurses had a key to the management office. Management kept a supply of Tylenol & Advil and would dispense them to nurses or...
A Word To The Wise.........

TiffyRN replied to NDXUFan's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

I return your advice to you. Can you summarize in one sentence what you hope to accomplish by your writings here? In other words, what do you want? Are you lonely, do you want to talk? That's ok....
A Word To The Wise.........

TiffyRN replied to NDXUFan's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

So, what do you want? To paraphrase what you said earlier today. . . We don't need you to lecture or threaten us (with fines, jail time and abuse by other inmates). You think nurses don't know...
BA in physics, 2+ years of med school, interested in nursing.

TiffyRN replied to Lint Davidson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

Repeating sciences would depend on each institution. It's of such relevant importance to nursing that I believe you would need to repeat them to be successful in nursing school unless you have been...
ADN or wait two years to get BSN?

TiffyRN replied to kelskelsb's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

I'm unclear on your statement "I'll be moving from Georgia to California". Are you going to be in CA for nursing school or move there in 2 years? Important because I hear getting into ADN schools in...
Why do parents get mad when you send their kids home???

TiffyRN replied to NurseEllie13's topic in School

On the other hand I remember getting a huge attitude when I got a call over a sick step-kid. Just puny, maybe he threw up (this was like 1999). I had no car, I told this nurse I can't come right now,...
A Word To The Wise.........

TiffyRN replied to NDXUFan's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

I would like to point out that nurses (remember you came to AllNurses, not EverythingDialysis, or DaVita Incorporated) have little to control over how frequently dialysis treatments are doled out,...
Nurses are Not Doctors

TiffyRN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

UK, Canada, Australia, Singapore, the Netherlands, South Africa, Botswana . .
Nurses are Not Doctors

TiffyRN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

This thread reminds me of the multiple anti-mandatory flu vaccine threads one can find over on the "pandemic flu" section of AN. There's a lot of presenting evidence followed by refuting it by...
Have bad attitude- RN to BSN programs

TiffyRN replied to anon456's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

Oh, one other point I had is if you spent $200,000 on any degree, it better pay at least that much a year starting and be begging for
Have bad attitude- RN to BSN programs

TiffyRN replied to anon456's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

My husband got a BA in communication back in the 80's, it's very hard to market that degree, so he got a graduate degree in management (not MBA). Still couldn't find a job that paid better than a...
Nurses are Not Doctors

TiffyRN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

Yes, and data is mostly meaningless turns out, as the militant nurses have apparently been secretly funding all the outcomes studies. Don't be distracted by the financial disclosures of who funded...
Is the RN--->BSN push a clever way to get older nurses out of the way

TiffyRN replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

Would it be a problem to stop the influx (or rather flood!) of new grad RNs for a couple of years? Let's say as colleges/universities reorganized their programs to form collaboratives to graduate...
A Word To The Wise.........

TiffyRN replied to NDXUFan's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

I'm an ethical nurse that acts as my patient's advocate. Because of that I think I need to take my direction from how you responded to reports of police brutality and corruption. Moving on. .
To My Preceptor

TiffyRN replied to bas22's topic in General Nursing

True for lazy preceptors. Opposite of true for decent preceptors. To me, it's far more work to properly supervise and (at least at the beginning) explain & provide rationale for every action....
A brand new ASN in BSN world

TiffyRN replied to kasia122's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

I'm so sorry, things have not always been like this, but the fact is, now they are. My biggest frustration is listening to pre-nursing students that come here wanting us to pat them on the back and...
A Word To The Wise.........

TiffyRN replied to NDXUFan's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

But mostly it's not the 2-5%, it's the techs, or the management! Or my personal favorite. . . The fact that nurses have "absolute power". Oh honey, bless you for thinking that, but even your own...
To My Preceptor

TiffyRN replied to bas22's topic in General Nursing

Wow, How did I not know the gum thing; got to file that away under "useful information". Great piece
