    Unequal Healthcare Costs

    broughden replied to broughden's topic in Nursing News

    But who cares about profit margins or subsidizing the indigent when your bill is $800 versus $8000? I wouldn't care if the $800 bill was 90% profit margin, when I'm only asked to pay $800 in relation...

    More dangerous: Navy or Army

    broughden replied to Chuckleface's topic in Government, Military

    So #1 let me ask you a question. I assume you are looking to do this as a commissioned officer in the Nurse corps correct? My answers are based on that assumption. 1. Yes, if you want to get into...

    DNP Required???

    broughden replied to makana16's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Dont do this. At a typical state community college (since you are looking to keep costs low) the ADN nursing program will run 5 semesters. At your typical state university the BSN 2nd degree program...

    GI Bill Help

    broughden replied to kjharris's topic in General Students

    I am also a vet. I've also used my GI bill to help fund my education. I have no idea why their math is not matching up. Strange. But from one vet to another I would strongly encourage you to look at...

    Should I stay at a community college?

    broughden replied to dgcruz's topic in General Students

    No traditional university level BSN program is going to accept you until you've completed your pre-requisites. Even if you already had bachelors in another discipline. You can knock out your pre-reqs...

    Wearing gloves with HIV positive patients

    broughden replied to Leekri's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. Its a topic I take very serious. I am a former patient who ended up in isolation with an HAI raging through my body. I came very close to never seeing the birth of my daughter due to a...

    Wearing gloves with HIV positive patients

    broughden replied to Leekri's topic in General Nursing

    Wrong. I can provide peer reviewed study after peer reviewed study that hand washing is not as effective as glove wear, especially in the case of patients with virulent pathogens like C diff. Given...

    Self-plagiarism?

    broughden replied to SoCalSN's topic in General Students

    Is this a standard university or private for profit school? If you have been honest and accurate with us, I would wait to hear back on their decision but also be prepared to fight it if it's a...

    Self-plagiarism?

    broughden replied to SoCalSN's topic in General Students

    I agree. This is like trying to claim that SOAP notes are plagiarizing each other. It seems either the program or this single Professor has it out for the student. This is an utterly ridiculous...

    AA (Regular Not RN) To BSN Jump?

    broughden replied to Migrating's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm confused your title says you have your AA but your post says you have your AS, which isn't? If you have your AA and the nursing school prerequisites completed, you can transfer into any in state...

    Multiple IV's for one student, none for the rest... Is this usual during clinical?

    broughden replied to Sherijo71's topic in General Students

    Wow. Definitely not what I expected. We even put infantry guys through combat medic courses and teach them how to start IVs. The actual medics are expected to know how to hit veins in the feet or even...

    Florida license with criminal history

    broughden replied to Ay.spilks27's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Its a misdemeanor in Florida just as its is in Ohio. The exemption form is only for nurses who already possess a Florida license. I doubt your license will be denied for a simple reckless driving...

    Nursing school isn't preparing me for the real world

    broughden replied to yesrun's topic in General Students

    A waste? No. Required for graduation from even a traditional BSN program or licensing? Also no. Kool aid? My local BSN programs are 5 semesters, period. Either traditional: 5 semesters (3 fall and 2...
