  1. Is working pre-op in ambulatory surg really all that bad?

    roser13 replied to quazar's topic in General Nursing

    If you worked at my ASC, you would think you had died and gone to heaven. At least that's what all our new-hire RN's tell

  2. Being called in to work extra.. ALL. THE. TIME!

    roser13 replied to 20plusyearRN's topic in General Nursing

    And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. A failure to plan on their part does not constitute an emergency on your part. Obviously, if you are bring called all the time, a basic staffing...

    roser13 replied to californiadreamin797's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Again, never lie to the BON. You're asking for advice and we're all telling you the same thing. Move past denial and defensiveness and accept your life circumstances. You do not want to live your...

  6. Do any of you think about going to med school?

    roser13 replied to RN to be soon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, if I had wanted to be an MD, I would have gone to med school. I wanted to be a nurse so I went to nursing

  7. How many of you worked as CNA?

    roser13 replied to RN to be soon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, a CNA is not a nurse intern. CNA experience will help you observe part of the nursing role. It may also give you avenues in which to network upon achieving your license. But CNA experience does...

    roser13 replied to BellaBlackwell's topic in General Nursing

  9. New Nurse Dilemma

    roser13 replied to Goldentreasure's topic in General Nursing

    Did the nurse staffing agent secure the interview for you? If they helped you find a job, then yes, you will likely owe them $$ if you take the job. Did you sign a

  10. Is it a calling or am I just crazy?

    roser13 replied to emmi004's topic in General Nursing

    We're not over-thinking the word calling. It is a connotation associated with nurses - some folks feel that you cannot be a caring or decent nurse if you chose the career for reasons other than a...

  11. How to reenter medical field?

    roser13 replied to dolphincatch's topic in General Nursing

    You do not need "medical experience" to be accepted into nursing school. And as has been said, any experience as an MA does not necessarily help someone in nursing school. If you want to be a nurse,...

    roser13 replied to 7colorsrainbow's topic in General Nursing

  13. Can anyone pls help?

    roser13 replied to rt staff's topic in General Nursing

    Your "friend" has issues. Violating HIPAA is likely the least of his/her problems. Don't know how to help you or your friend. Wondering why you chose an Internet forum for nurses to ask for

  14. Associate vs Bachelor Nursing

    roser13 replied to browtif2's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Have you searched this topic here on AN.com? There is an exhaustive number of threads. Did your homework assignment intend for you to "research" the Internet or to actually interview nurses? Keep...

  15. Are Nurse Practitioner/ Scientist the same as Physician Scientists

    roser13 replied to Young Tangerine's topic in General Nursing

    Start with pursuing your nursing degree in whatever form that you choose (ASN vs. BSN). Baby steps. I've never heard of a Nurse Scientist and do not understand what that role would be and where that...

  16. Help! I am a first year Nursing student

    roser13 replied to aminarehman18's topic in General Students

    We don't know your textbook or what your instructors chose to emphasize during your semester. Your best resources are your instructors and your fellow students. Form a study group. Make flash...

  17. Is it a calling or am I just crazy?

    roser13 replied to emmi004's topic in General Nursing

    The only professions that should be considered a "calling" (in my book) are those in which God supposedly does the calling. Do I believe that Florence Nightengale is calling you into nursing? No....

    roser13 replied to morningcoffee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Advanced Nurse Practitioner roles exist as a result of years of experience. Thus the "advanced practice" title. How would you manage to become an advanced practice anything without the basics? If...

  20. Dean won't send my graduation confirmation to Board of Nursing in my new state?

    roser13 replied to selphie101's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have an adviser still? Please tell them what you're dealing with. Someone higher up than you will have to get to the dean or over his head in order to help you. This sounds very petty and I...

  21. Book "The Nurses"

    roser13 replied to lucy100's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't finish it. I was disappointed at how "gossipy" (for lack of a better word) it seemed. Nothing like perpetuating stereotypes of

    roser13 replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I get that you felt disrespected, but this guy appears to have issues related to his own career/responsibilities. Your conversation just happened to be the spark that lit his fuse. Now this is just...

  25. Why do nurses.....

    roser13 replied to offlabel's topic in General Nursing

    I've always believed that the need to "spruce up" the RN title came about as a result of the disparate routes to RN. An ASN wants you to be certain the she has a DEGREE, and God forbid a BSN is...
