Is it possible to get a ASN if you already have a Bachelors? A friend of minewas asking me this because she really wants to be a Nurse Practitioner, but getting a BSN right now is way too expensive especially the accelerated ones for those with a B.A...

I was talking to a friend this morning and she is just finishing Nursing school and said that she could have become a Teacher with better hours and the same pay? Is this true? I know as a RN we start at $20 an hour. Is this the case for Teachers. I h...

I was looking at the definition of a LPN on Discover Nursing.com and theres not much difference in what they do and a PCA in a hospital. Just Licensure and a lot of money spent on schooling. Whats the point why not just work as a PCA and get your RN ...

I had a lunch with a couple of doctor friends at a hospital where I shadowed a Nurse for a week. I was floored at how these Nurses have to bow down to these Doctors. I heard a Dr. go off on a Nurse. One saying I want to see the whites of her eyes I w...

I have for sometime been harrassed at work, I have been a Student Nurse tech for a year. and I have been just letting it slide. The other day the nurse I was teching fr made a family angry. She got into a confratation with the family members and stor...

Thank You. I have been told that and have seen that as well. many walk around and won't even speak to anyne thats a Nurse or a Tech. Wow. That is so crazy all I can think to say is get over yourself.

I would love to have some good advice from seasoned Nurses regarding setting a clear path to reach my nursing goals. I am currently a PCT at a major hospital and I enjoy my patients but I find that the Nurses have a lot of negative attitudes and it ...

I am cuurently working towards my goal of becoming a Nurse, and I work as a PCA now. I was having lunch with a few BSN and they were telling me how im[ortant it is to get the BSN cause the Nursing field is about to change where you must have a BSN? T...

No It's not that it's the Im a Nurse and your not factor. I've had these people cut me off mid sentence. Start talking over me while Im talking as if what I say doens't matter. Make fun of Black patients and I am not the only person who sees this I a...

A License does qualify you to say yes I have learned these skills but it does not not make you good at what you do. Where I work They do this and let me tell you Im In Critical care and many of the Techs know more and perform more commen sense wise t...
