2. Tattoo's on Nurses

   Castymiss replied to gentlemother's topic in General Nursing

   Well, maybe you should have chosen to be a tattoo artist...instead of an RN...My daughter came home at age 18 with a tongue stud. She had asked at 16 to have one and I refused to allow it. Told her if...

   hospital I work in does NOT allow piercings in the nose. Ears if one or two is fine. Sadly they are viewed differently now...the profession is going down the drain...If the nurse taking care of me...

4. Tattoo's on Nurses

   Castymiss replied to gentlemother's topic in General Nursing

   OK, personally I would find this offensive and the way I figure it if you have your nose pierced while working as an RN, you are not very profession in your nursing duties as well. I am an RN and have...

5. How much difference in pay do two year rn's get than four yr??

   Castymiss replied to bigmac018's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   For advancement I would say you should have the BSN degree. With your BS and MBA that is a huge help BUT in nursing most supervisor positions require a BSN or Masters in NURSING...not in another...

6. How much difference in pay do two year rn's get than four yr??

   Castymiss replied to bigmac018's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   It was the reason I became an RN 20 years ago. MONEY to raise my children as a single mom. A fast program (2 years) and obtained my AA degree. I have gone back and gotten my BSN but that was my...

   Castymiss replied to bigmac018's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   When I was in my AA program, I took Math, History, English, etc...My BSN did NOT change how I do nursing. Not one little bit. I believe it was a huge waste of my time, energy, and money. The ONLY...

   Castymiss replied to bigmac018's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   I was an AA degree RN for almost 20 years. I returned and obtained my BSN in 2006. I have to honestly tell you that I did NOT learn that much in the BSN program. We had clinicals where we had to give...

10. Is it safe to start out with an ADN?

    Castymiss replied to RNS5's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I also paid CASH for my BSN degree. I did not want to take out loans or owe any money when I was done. My employer did have tuition reimbursments that I did take advantage of. They paid 3,000.00 a...

11. Is it safe to start out with an ADN?

    Castymiss replied to RNS5's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That is a pretty bad slam. I have worked as an RN with an ADN AND a BSN degree and really there is not much difference in the job I do with either degree. The BSN will help if I wish to go into...

12. Is it safe to start out with an ADN?

    Castymiss replied to RNS5's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes the BSN DOES give you more options. I was an ADN nurse for 17 years and went back and obtained my BSN. Took me 3 years part time. You can still work and attend school. It is one day a week for 3...

13. Is it safe to start out with an ADN?

    Castymiss replied to RNS5's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think you will be fine obtaining your ADN first. You will get a job with no problems. Where I live the BSN does get more pay, 5% more than an ADN. I was an ADN for 20 years and then went back and...

    I have NOT quit working as a nurse, only quit the hospital setting. This is going on in ALL Southern Calif. hospitals. Sounds racist you say...I say its reality of what is going on. The fillipinas at...

15. Nurses that are late for report

    Castymiss replied to vashtee's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to say, I have left the hospital setting never never to return. When American nurses start working in hospitals again, maybe I will return. Who wants to work with foreign nurses who REFUSE to...
