Seriously? You are an RN? A BSN??! Your lack of punctuation/misspellings imply that OP is the rapist. Unbelievable. Nursing needs to raise its basic communication standards. Perhaps then we'll be...
Your assignment is to interview a nurse. Online forum answers do not constitute interviews. Interviews are required because of their give-and-take, informative nature. Please go to your nearest...
In the interest of fairness, please quote any post that has been judgmental. It is unfair to come into a group and cry about perceived injustice without illustrating your (supposed) poor treatment....
I hope you never have anxiety/stress issues to deal with. If you do, I hope others are more understanding/empathetic than you have been. Anxiety does NOT = killing patients. Anxiety is a condition...
If you are truly a senior, I will say that your outlook is not bright. Nursing schools will not accept a majority of credits from another school. They need your education to reflect their teaching,...
I agree to a point, but in no way did OP's description of the surgeon imply a cultural misunderstanding. Rather, the OP described the activity as "slurs" that were being chuckled over. The context...
Seriously?? Racist, sexist rants make your professional world more engaging and diverse? I can't quite wrap my mind around your world. OP, if you were working in a larger city/hospital/system, my...
You literally JUST joined AN.com. You have no context in which to judge your question. I do, and trust me, your initial post presented as a homework seeker. Believe it or not. However, now that you...
Unfortunately you chose to pose your question as so many homework-seekers do on a daily basis. Color us jaded. We are jaded for a good reason. I hope that you receive constructive responses

Exactly! When I read the advice to avoid befriending an unstable person, I thought, "well, duh!" It's not as if anyone does that on purpose. In my experience, unstable folks can be extremely...
I have never heard of any schools that will issue a diploma based upon only a few hours' credit from their institution. Understandably, a school wants its graduates to have done most if not all of...
No one can tell you "for sure" except someone at EPCC (whatever that is). You've likely received so many different answers because you're asking all sorts of people plus an Internet forum. Go to the...
I think that many new nurses feel this way. Having been led to believe that nursing is a "calling," some expect to feel an almost saintly satisfaction with their profession. That is a heavy-duty...

You should not react to this person. Do not contact the BON. Only take action if they contact you. How is this person "practicing as a nurse" if she has just
Sometimes we have to achieve our dreams in small steps. How about becoming a CNA and learning about some of the nursing tasks? Then, after you achieve that, start making moves toward becoming a...
I too would encourage you to think long and hard about obtaining an associates degree for MA (if that is what you're planning). Some employers prefer to train their own MA's and do not require any...
