  1. Really bad fever blister. Should I call in?

    roser13 replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm guessing that OP went to

  2. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    roser13 replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So glad you're open to input! No, you cannot be an advanced practiced nurse while bypassing bedside care. Since you cannot "safely" care for patients (per your words, for "yourself"), you will be...

  3. Living off CNA salary.

    roser13 replied to Jmarty31's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Again, do all of those budget basics add up to a reasonable living scenario? I'm not going to do the math for you. That is your

  4. Advice to novice who wants to work with geriatric population.

    roser13 replied to ebcifaldi's topic in General Nursing

    You will not likely (in this day & age) find a position that affords that luxury. Today's healthcare delivery system does not allow for talking & listening

  5. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    roser13 replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yet you are calling respondents "unpleasant, resentful witches who always have their claws out"? Mirror,

  6. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    roser13 replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Opining is one thing. Lecturing on the future of nursing from a non-nurse to a nurse is quite another. I am so disappointed that an NP is working so hard on this forum to deflect real nurses'...

  7. Living off CNA salary.

    roser13 replied to Jmarty31's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Where do you live? What is the cost of living there? How frugal are you? What is your basic needs budget? What are the costs of tuition, books & fees of your school of choice? Are all of those...

  8. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    roser13 replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Umm, yes it is naive. Nurses are educated professionals who are simply working in their chosen profession. "Caring" is not a prerequisite, although many naive, inexperienced folks still believe that...

  9. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    roser13 replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    DO NOT lecture me on the future of nursing. You are not a nurse, no matter your aspirations. You have no authority or real world experience from which to have a opinion, let alone to lecture me. At...

  10. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    roser13 replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Then she should not have posted her questions on the General Nursing section of an ALLnurses.com. ALL nurses, not just the chosen few. Heaven forbid that experienced non-NP nurses weigh in. Surely...

  11. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    roser13 replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that you are erring on the side of naïveté to believe that floor nurses will be replaced anytime soon by robots. We already have machines dispensing meds (betcha didn't know that) but...

  12. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    roser13 replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At least we have nursing experience. And please remember, OP asked for opinions. Not just opinions that agree with her vision, but any opinions. And then called us snarky for

  13. If I choose a Health Science major, what is my next step?

    roser13 replied to cardenas_a's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is exactly right. Your questions are not generic questions as in one answer fits all universities, community colleges and for-profit institutions. You must choose the school, then ask your...

  14. Taking time off...

    roser13 replied to CAL3's topic in General Nursing

    How much experience do you have now? It seems to me that years of experience prior to time off seem to

  15. Nurses with Contracts

    roser13 replied to JMR83's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! I thought the title of this was Nurses with Contacts. After all there's a current thread titled Nurses with

  16. New Hire Physical

    roser13 replied to nerdynurse22's topic in General Nursing

    How could this be discrimination? Fibromyalgia patients are not a protected group. Folks are so quick to cry discrimination these

  17. Home health vs med surg

    roser13 replied to phuturenurse1988's topic in General Nursing

    Option 1. Home health as a new grad is not really a good idea. You are only half-way educated as a new grad. To whom will you turn for back-up and expertise when something happens in the home and you...

  18. Should I retake college courses for higher gpa to get in nursing program?

    roser13 replied to kareebear1's topic in General Nursing

    We don't know what nursing program you're asking about. Even if we did, we don't know that program's entrance criteria. Have you tried asking the admissions department of that school? Besides, the...

  19. Taking a Position as a Float Nurse as a New Grad

    roser13 replied to ColleenT's topic in General Nursing

    I would never have survived my first year if I had spent it as a float. Nursing school is just the beginning of your nursing education. To have that first critical year spent floating from one unit to...

  20. SLP vs RN: Need Advice!!

    roser13 replied to Stephia87RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have no idea what a SLP is. Thus I cannot opine upon your

  21. Nursing in Hawaii

    roser13 replied to nocolorsnofun's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There's always the telephone if the websites are too confusing. Your questions can only be answered by the institution that you plan to

  22. I truly want to know.....

    roser13 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Why do new grads come to this General Nursing Forum to recount, step by step, their personal experience with the NCLEX exam? I'll bet I see at least 3 such posts daily. And I truly do not understand...

  23. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    roser13 replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is the Internet. Opinions are (usually) welcomed. Anyone who trusts an Internet forum for verifiable facts has other issues to

  24. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    roser13 replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I said my truth. My truth is mine, arising from my life and my experiences. Your truth is yours. Just leave it, please. Give the OP your attention &

  25. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    roser13 replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And my truth, limited as it is, is that employers do care and that inexperienced NP's face an uphill battle in obtaining appropriate salary & employment. And if I were an NP, you can be sure that...
