    SHHHHH, dont tell anyone I'm a RN

    broughden replied to Barbie8808's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    1. Im actually laughing at all the people here who think as employees you owe anything to your employer. Corporations care about MONEY and profits. They don't care about patient safety. They don't...

    broughden replied to ConfusedPreNursing99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing schools in Florida?

    broughden replied to jc109's topic in Florida Nursing

    You need to bring your science GPA, especially for pre-reqs like anatomy, up in order to be competitive. I'd retake any class you didn't get an A

    nurse doesn't do her charting

    broughden replied to NayNeyRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    They have insurance to cover litigation costs. Those aren't direct costs like labor is. Why do you think US corporations screwed over the middle class and off shored all the manufacturing jobs to...

    The rule you have run into, and Im frankly surprised no one in the nursing school or financial aid office warned you about this, is called SAP (Satisfactory Academic Progress). Institutions of higher...

    Benefits of MHA/MPH degree?

    broughden replied to RayyRN2b's topic in General Nursing

    Who can say if it would be beneficial or not? What you need to do is look on Indeed or other job websites at the jobs you are interested in, find out what their educational requirements are, and then...

    What can I do besides nursing?

    broughden replied to Raven43's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty sure this is troll fake account now. First you HAD retaken bio, and failed it again, now youve only taken it once. First you DIDNT have an attorney, now you have one. You story changes every...

    broughden replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    Men's FIGS scrubs

    broughden replied to nurseacorns's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Depends on which size chart on their website you are looking at. 1. If you go to a specific top, look under size chart, it will show (as you said above) that an XS is 40" chest. Which I agree is...

    broughden replied to Raven43's topic in General Nursing

    Prereq question

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

    I would have done this (ADN, work as RN, while earning BSN, then grad school) but our local ADN program was 5 semesters. The BSN program is 5 semesters. I might as well get the BSN then. Other than a...

    broughden replied to futura4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    RN to BSN online? Sure. 100% online prelicensure BSN? I sincerely hope California isnt the only state not certifying or allowing that. That sounds like the dumbest idea ever. Edit: Nope it now...
