    How are RNs with Entry-Level MSN degrees received?

    melmarie23 replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    personally, when in clinicals, I hate saying what type of program that I am in because I get the side eye and see the skepticism in the other RNs faces. I hate that. So I've taken habit of saying,...

    melmarie23 replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes and no. We certainly are not being trained to be your next manager or clinical educator but I can definitely see how a CNL might end up there. Personally, I dont see why extra emphasis on EBP,...

    melmarie23 replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    they dont have to be RN's. The ones I've worked with in clinical used to be floor RNs, but that doesnt mean RN is a pre-req in becoming a LC. I have a girlfriend who is working on becoming an LC and...

    Required to watch circumcision?

    melmarie23 replied to CrunchyMama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I read about the African studies last summer when news of a possible new CDC rec would come out. What bothers me is that we are using studies conducted on citizens of another country to make recs for...

    melmarie23 replied to j772's topic in General Students

    UNH DEMN schedule

    melmarie23 replied to wannabecnl's topic in General Nursing

    They actually split summer into two. The first 5 weeks were Psych (lecture and clinical) and the last 6 weeks were Med/Surg (class and clinical). I would say for summer, be prepared to be at UNH...

    Required to watch circumcision?

    melmarie23 replied to CrunchyMama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am against circumcision and I still watched one. I wanted to know exactly what happened, how it happened and how the infant reacted. I felt that it was important to watch so that when I have a...

    Help!! Math Question

    melmarie23 replied to dietcoke2010's topic in General Students

    the answer is 42 ml/hr for the reasons the others have pointed out. Its just a math problem, dont think of it as anything more than that. However, in the real world though, I would have ran the pump...

    Just so tired of blame shifting

    melmarie23 replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

    I am really confused as to why you are lamenting the fact that she tried to "place the blame" onto you. Yes, she is supposed to double check, but at the same time, YOU had realized your OWN error,...

    Sign announcing you're an RN on your car?

    melmarie23 replied to Perpetual Student's topic in General Nursing

    I would interpret that sign plate as "male, BSN, RN" and having specialty plates or signs like that announcing your profession (I've seen laywer, and MD ones before) is kind of lame, IMO. Who really...

    Flu shots

    melmarie23 replied to Aisha29's topic in General Students

    Generally speaking though, I don't think a hospital has much of a leg to stand on when they start [trying] to mandate vaccinations of their health care workers under the guise to "protect" the...

    Flu shots

    melmarie23 replied to Aisha29's topic in General Students

    That's not necessarily true for everyone. Some students go to school in a state that is not where their established residency is. I don't believe this debate is quite as black and white as we'd like...
