  1. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    damrcngrl95 replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The Bachelors + ADN to get accepted into an MSN program does make some sense if you look at it like this... The nursing classes at the bachelors and masters level can be very similar, but the masters...

    damrcngrl95 replied to just_cause's topic in Government, Military

    You are welcome. Sorry for the glaring grammar issues in my post. I really need to reread what I

  3. Nursing or Teaching?!?!

    damrcngrl95 replied to mara1419's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was a teacher for 10 years and can only give that perspective. I would take the time to shadow a nurse for as long as you can. I would also shadow a teacher if they will let you. If not, I would...

  4. Nurse or sonographer

    damrcngrl95 replied to ilovemycavalier's topic in Nursing Career

    This was my big question when I was trying to decide between Radiology, Respiratory, and nursing. I shadowed all three and learned a great deal about all three fields. I found my love with...

    damrcngrl95 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

  7. The Whistle Blower!

    damrcngrl95 replied to singleumm's topic in General Nursing

  9. Does anyone like night shift?

    damrcngrl95 replied to gohogs's topic in General Nursing

    Does it help to work 3 12s or 5 8s on nights? I am very interested in the night shift, but I do have a family to think of. I was leaning more toward 3 12s. BTW, I love these threads on what each...

  10. Difference between...

    damrcngrl95 replied to Marie1205's topic in General Nursing

  11. Being a Teacher/Nurse

    damrcngrl95 replied to gohogs's topic in General Nursing

  12. Being a Teacher/Nurse

    damrcngrl95 replied to gohogs's topic in General Nursing

    Working the two jobs at times may be a bit much. I taught elementary and middle school. My workload was pretty full during the school year. I had papers to grade, lesson plans to research and...

  13. Credit check along with background? *****??

    damrcngrl95 replied to choc0late's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My ex is MI and we had to borrow money from his grandpa for my ex to go through his AIT and receive his TS. Credit can keep someone from getting the job they want in the Army, but won't keep them...

  14. Bloom's taxonomy

    damrcngrl95 replied to username33's topic in General Nursing

    http://www.teach-nology.com/worksheets/time_savers/bloom/ I'm not sure of your exact situation, but I thought these verbs listed by category would help. I guess the way I would approach this is the...

  15. I don't Know what to do?????

    damrcngrl95 replied to mnrb_mdn's topic in General Nursing

    My mom was diagnosed with lupus when she was in her early 20's. It was well controlled for the most part with a few flare-ups. She has had a very active life and had to finally retire at 62. Her...

  16. Work at Home Job Opportunities?

    damrcngrl95 replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    There are online or at home jobs out there, but you just need to be careful and do your homework. The site that I gave is a good reputable site that screens their jobs, but even they have had a few...

  17. Work at Home Job Opportunities?

    damrcngrl95 replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

  18. What is the one piece of advice you wish you could tell yourself as a nursing student

    damrcngrl95 replied to Mini-Murse's topic in General Nursing

    I love this advise.:heartbeat:up: I have had to learn the same thing. It took me awhile and I'm glad that I'm learning it before I go into the medical

  19. Should teachers have first aid training?

    damrcngrl95 replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with all of this. I felt a great amount of pressure with my diabetic student because if something went wrong I was responsible. I would be the one they threw under the bus when it was all...

  20. Should teachers have first aid training?

    damrcngrl95 replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    With the type of students being "mainstreamed" I would recommend it. I have had my CPR and went to extra classes to help my students that had special needs that required me to understand their...

  21. Nurses stand up for themselves

    damrcngrl95 replied to reznurse's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If Corporate America continues to try to make a profit on the backs of the middle class and poor they will no longer have a corporation to run. The "haves" need to stop being so greedy and realize...

  22. I'm considering nursing, but I'm scared of "lateral violence"

    damrcngrl95 replied to blueshift's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wanted to point out one more thing. We don't always just say sorry it didn't work out and find another school. We do take up for our teachers and will speak up for our teachers. We went to the...

  23. I'm considering nursing, but I'm scared of "lateral violence"

    damrcngrl95 replied to blueshift's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not a nurse so I can't say much about their lateral violence. I have read the stories about what some of the nurses have said or done to other nurses. Personally, it reminded me of teaching and...

  25. Medicaid reimbursement and patient satisfaction scores

    damrcngrl95 replied to RN-ing's topic in General Nursing

    I know it's not exactly the same, but I felt this way when they were talking about tying teacher's pay to student performance. This makes about as much sense. I am sad to see another profession...
