    With a MSN, why do I need a BSN?

    Mavrick replied to INrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely agree with this mentality. It's not about your knowledge base or ability to apply it. Can the hospital check the box and get credit for a BSN nurse to fulfill their marketing promise to...

    Mavrick replied to Russka's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A lot of people apply to multiple schools. When they get into one of them the wait list is automatically shortened on all the others. Expand your search for Community Colleges. Cost difference is...

    Mavrick replied to Yogesh's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I like to tell the same joke to all my patients all day long. They can't remember the punchline anyway. Never gets old. Sometimes I use funny accents on people before I give them their hearing...

    Men in Nursing...

    Mavrick replied to eaglenurse2b12's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Are there really People who say that ??? I think that is just a way of saying YOU think that you don't belong in nursing. If so, try to get that thought out of your head. Nursing is a great gig for...

    New Grad feeling like I can't do anything right!

    Mavrick replied to ashrnbsn12's topic in General Nursing

    These are not minor mistakes. I would be concerned about a pattern. Did they all happen at the beginning of your orientation and are getting fewer? Did they happen when you started taking more...

    $30/hour for new grads in Seattle?

    Mavrick replied to rowyie's topic in General Nursing

    I assume you are at a non-union facility. Here in most of Seattle-land, the Union contract dictates what you are paid based on experience/education. A BSN/MSN at my facility is worth

    Mavrick replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

    And don't we all just LOVE being told what kind of nurse to be and how to treat the insulting new nursing student. It is most helpful to lurk before jumping into the deep end and splashing around like...

    Mavrick replied to m&m0310's topic in General Students
