    Should all nursing students be required to be a CNA for one year?

    Gennaver replied to SophieMae's topic in General Nursing

    Problem CNAs on night shift

    Gennaver replied to clab25's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hi Kitkat23, I feel for you this is so frustrating and not easily dealt with, some people, (like your trainer) are indeed manipulators and social loafers with a mean streak. I have encountered a...

    Okay. Um, No I do not, matter of factly I commended her on using her discretion. I suppose your vested ego based interest really IS preventing you from seeing what I am writing.

    NP education - a rant

    Gennaver replied to CatskillNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Your assumption about what I assume is wrong, I am however under the assumption that my total time devoted, (in class, in clinical and while working,) will indeed have an impact, how is that wrong?...

    NP education - a rant

    Gennaver replied to CatskillNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with you. So does the school where I hope to pursue my NP at too, they will not allow direct entry anything other than the core NP courses right away and for the more intense specialties,...

    NP education - a rant

    Gennaver replied to CatskillNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Okay, now there is something to discuss, good. Firstly, the NP is not accelerated, only some BSN for non-nursing BA/BS degree holders. Many of these accelerated BSN programs do then allow direct...

    How well did your nursing education prepare you for your job?

    Gennaver replied to careerdejour's topic in General Nursing

    Hello there, Try to find a way to alleviate your worries. :) Maybe ask for some more clinical time for your phlebotomy if you can. Is it possible to find a lab or hospital and find out if you...

    Question about an ADN Program at a Community College?

    Gennaver replied to MustangMusic's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Dustin, Just an opinion here but, I do think that going away is a good idea -but- maybe you could do your basic core courses at Parkland, (ask the University what their core courses are for your...

    NP education - a rant

    Gennaver replied to CatskillNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Jess, Thanks for clarifying this. Yeah, a lot of the programs that I am looking at do not GRANT the msn in the full time 1.5 years, that is only the RN certificate portion. Yeah, what is so crazy...

    NCLEX pass percentages from each program?

    Gennaver replied to Roozeyk's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hello Roozeyk, Why not just ask them directly. When you call admissions just ask them, "What were your last year's (or last five years or last two years) NCLEX RN passing percentage rate?" Be bold,...

    Hi Jess, Oh my goodness, I didn't read that whole BA in basket weaving the first time it posted. Good grief! Do people really think like this? This is the myth I was trying to debunk the first time...

    Low Down on Nursing Education

    Gennaver replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is to ADNRN, I have to respectfully agree that your initial post is somewhat flawed, your passion is obvious and your line of logic is incomplete though. In it you state that Sociology and...
