1. Beckfield college

   Me, SN replied to kurkowsa34's topic in General Nursing

   JohnRebel, I'm not sure if you are IN the field or looking to go to a college, but you are misinformed. Beckfield College is accredited. You CAN get a license in ANY state after graduating their ADN...

2. New grad and NO JOBS!!

   Me, SN replied to Newgradtoo's topic in General Nursing

   I know the feeling. I looked up the topic because I was curious if this was just a regional thing or something the country is dealing with. My search led me to your post. I'm in Kentucky and we're...

3. Beckfield college

   Me, SN replied to kurkowsa34's topic in General Nursing

   This is an old thread, but I found it searching for information on when Beckfield might be adding the bachelor's program, and if anyone else finds it, I feel like I need to say a few things too. I...

4. Should the H1N1 Vaccine be mandatory for Healthcare Professionals?

   Me, SN replied to Brian's topic in Disaster Preparation

   NOW THAT IS SPIN! BRAVO! You only highlight what you want to pick apart in an effort to deem me ignorant. Did I not also say that we should be doling out masks?! Anyway, vaccinating HCW isn't enough...

5. How many would consider leaving nursing if they had a similar or slightly higher pay.

   Me, SN replied to jean36's topic in General Nursing

   I'm a NEW nurse and I'd leave in a second if the job were easier or less messy for the same or slightly more money. I only went into nursing because I needed a career choice, I'm married and have a...

6. 75 Questions on NCLEX, pass or fail?

   Me, SN replied to Lurksalot's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   When I think about that test I am still a little puzzled. 75 questions, almost all of them on the same topic, and I passed. But I walked out feeling like there was no way they could have accurately...

7. Should the H1N1 Vaccine be mandatory for Healthcare Professionals?

   Me, SN replied to Brian's topic in Disaster Preparation

   I will not be getting the H1N1 shot this year or ever barring someone placing a gun to my head. And I WOULD give up my license if it were an ultimatum. I was forced to receive the Hepatitis...

8. WANTED: Nursing student tidbits of advice

   Me, SN replied to KellRrn2b's topic in General Students

   I wouldn't advise on debinding your books. I can't tell you how many times I've needed to look in the index for something or pulled information from a section we weren't necessarily working on at the...

9. WANTED: Nursing student tidbits of advice

   Me, SN replied to KellRrn2b's topic in General Students

   From my own experience, I found that I wasted a lot of money in trying different things when the simplest things worked the best. I wouldn't waste money on a PDA. I bought the one my school offered...

10. I don't know what to do.

    Me, SN replied to Me, SN's topic in General Students

    A long overdue update on this post: I didn't say anything. She did try her hardest to fail me, but I was persistent. She suggested I attend more clinicals than I was required to do and though nothing...

11. Burned Out

    Me, SN replied to crazyNursingStudent1's topic in General Students

    I've been skipping my non-nursing classes, and getting the assignments for those non-nursng classes from other students, then turning them in via email to cut down on the time I have to be at the...

12. I don't know what to do.

    Me, SN replied to Me, SN's topic in General Students

    I knew she was in the wrong. I feel INCREDIBILY HORRIBLE for giving the patient the medication without checking the MAR because I knew I should have. If I could go back (and I know I can't) I would...

13. I don't know what to do.

    Me, SN posted a topic in General Students

    I go to a private ASN school that sort of recycles its instructors (you have most instructors twice.) I had a seriously BAD experience with a clinical instructor I have had as a teacher in another...

14. What makes NS so hard?

    Me, SN replied to JillFRN's topic in General Students

    It's not hard. Just time consuming. Anyone who spends sufficient time studying the material will get through it. It's when you don't have a lot of time that you struggle: moms, dads, the employed,...

15. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    Me, SN replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    No, I do not have you confused with Bicster. I quoted Bicster, addressed the "quip" (read: insult) that he made, and then I addressed your assumption that I am generalizing. But whatever. As a...
