    Gennaver replied to askater11's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hello Shodobe, I do not believe there is any such thing as a "quickie" nursing degree, anywhere. What there is, is lots and lots of misinformation and misunderstanding and misguided gossip feeding...

    Hello MiaNJ, This is the assumption I used to have too but, I am finding out that the program that gets the most clinical hours are the Associate Degree Nursing programs. Please do not take my word on...

    Gennaver replied to askater11's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hi, Those are five slots that belong to non-degreed students who have no other option to earn their nursing degree other than the ADN. Why not create more schools for students with current BA's or...

    Gennaver replied to veegeern's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, One former hospital I worked at was supposed to be not for profit but, ohmygoodness, they were so aggressive and such good capitalists that I find it so hard to believe that they were not for...

    Gennaver replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hello, Yes, I appreciate your post. I appreciate that Roy's theory can be stretched tight enough and made to fit other areas outside of children and psychiatric, where it fits very well. I feel that...

    Gennaver replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    Gennaver replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi again tencat, In my p.s. I mentioned how I was baffled that nursing tries to make theory into practice? That is contraindicated, theory is broad, practice is specific. Again, Theory may influence...

    Gennaver replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi there, I thought all 'disciplines' did this, (not professions, all 'jobs' can be a profession right?) While I was working towards a BS in Biology, (changed it though, left it as an associates), we...
