  1. CRNAs Looking Down on NPs

    sunray12 replied to RNbabe's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    i see that a lot on all nurses. i think there must be a bunch of people here transitioning in or who transitioned in from executive jobs in the financial sector. so that's why nursing wages are all...

  2. What classes should be taken together?

    sunray12 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What you end up taking and when typically depends on what schools are offering and when - and how fast you want to go. You have seven classes. You can take 3 in one semester and four the next. Or you...

    sunray12 replied to chloe79's topic in General Students

    I take vitamins and eat curry and poppy seed bagels (but never three in one morning) on the regular and I've never tested positive on a drug test. OP if your test was a false positive then I hope you...

  4. You're a nurse? Why didn't you just go to med school?

    sunray12 replied to ChiLanQui's topic in General Nursing

    You should go to the specialty\advanced practice nursing tab at the top of the page and read the NP board. There are several mega threads in there that can help you as you think matters

  5. Buying a pre-req textbook on Amazon

  6. NO MORE LPNs

    sunray12 replied to NursingStudent!'s topic in General Nursing

    ^^i think lpn's will be making a comeback. anyway at this point there are too many log jams in the present system of training rn's - sooner than later lpn's will start making more and more

  7. Pity Party! Wanna join?

    sunray12 replied to partee-a-five's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. What would you do? (a little long!)

    sunray12 replied to GaMBA's topic in General Nursing

    Different point of view from the previous posters: I would take the lpn route because my priority would be to be working as a nurse as soon as possible. If you do the lpn program you'll be done and...

  9. Politely Refusing to Share Grades

    sunray12 replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in General Students

  10. Become An Lpn First Or Surgical Tech Then Finnally Become An Rn?

    sunray12 replied to devon_2009's topic in General Nursing

  13. Nurses with a masters don't do beside nursing ?

    sunray12 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

  14. What to make of this, with today's economy?

    sunray12 replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    sunray12 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    sunray12 replied to Lola89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
