  1. Nurse or Nanny?

    anon695 replied to HappyGo1's topic in General Nursing

    I think the most likely explanation for your situation is as follows: It's an insurance scam on the part of the mother and the agency. Mother's insurance is willing to pay for 7 day per nursing week...

  2. B.S.N. vs. Biology? Which one is more challenging?

    anon695 replied to bree*'s topic in General Nursing

    There is not much you can do with a degree in biology. Most lab jobs are for "lab techs", which pays little more than minimum wage and requires a 2-year degree at most. Teaching requires a master's...

  3. B.S.N. vs. Biology? Which one is more challenging?

    anon695 replied to bree*'s topic in General Nursing

    My opinion: BSN is harder to obtain. A BS in Biology doesn't include clinicals, passing rate of 77-80%, or NCLEX style questions. However, the work would be worth it. You can look for a job as a nurse...

  4. Critique my admission essay PLEASE & Thank you!

    anon695 replied to Tela's topic in General Nursing

    Oy vey - way too personal. As my mother used to say, "don't give away the store" (meaning, don't tell people anything more than is absolutely necessary, do not over-share). Admissions essays aren't so...

  5. Kaplan: The Basics Books + NCLEX review 1st Semester of Nursing?

    anon695 replied to LikesToWander's topic in General Students

    Something smells fishy here - a school requiring you to buy expensive NEW books at one particular store is really suspicious. At my school we just get a book list and then we can buy them wherever we...

  6. As a young male, what can I expect during my OB/Newborn rotation?

    anon695 replied to Spikey9001's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm really a med-surg person and I can't see myself doing anything BUT med-surg after graduation, but working with newborns for a few weeks was a great experience. You'll probably end up liking it...

  7. As a young male, what can I expect during my OB/Newborn rotation?

    anon695 replied to Spikey9001's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It depends if the patients are willing to have a male nursing student or not. I'm female and while we didn't do lady partsl exams as student nurses, we did some other things that many women may not...

  8. Internship for Student Nurse in NYC!

    anon695 replied to European's topic in New York Nursing

    Continuum Health Partners, which is a group of hospitals in the NYC area, has a summer externship program. I did it in summer 2010 and it was a wonderful experience. Google "continuum health partners"...

  9. How soon after graduation would you start your ADN to BSN

    anon695 replied to MickeysMom's topic in General Nursing

    I'm graduating in June 2011 with an ADN/Diploma. I have a previous bachelor's degree in an unrelated field so I already have 120 credits there, plus the 75 from my ADN. I plan to start on the RN-BSN...

  10. How do you study from books? I want to use some new study tactics

    anon695 replied to moonredlife's topic in General Students

    How to study from books? I buy the NCLEX books with all the practice questions and the "success series" books with practice questions. I do the practice questions that correspond to what I'm learning...

  11. Need Advice DESPERATELY : AS or BS

    anon695 replied to lavitabella2's topic in General Students

    Actually you have three semesters to get the classes done, Spring 2011, then summer 1 and summer 2011. I think it depends on what is better for you financially. An AS followed by an RN-BSN is usually...

  12. For new grads looking for their first job

    anon695 replied to tryharder's topic in General Nursing

    1. Do you really think that you will go forever without a job in a nursing career after graduation? HIGHLY UNLIKELY This part I agree with. 2. have you ever been in a situation and thought you would...

  13. Ridiculous, overbearing restrictions on volunteers

    anon695 replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You obviously aren't a nurse or even a first-year nursing student, because you have no clue what nurses do or the implications of the professional duties they are responsible for. Your suggestions are...

  14. Just looking for some other opinions on a topic that came up on Oprah

    anon695 replied to mentalhealthRN's topic in General Nursing

    Although it's her choice not mine and she has a right to do it, I think it's selfish, irresponsible, and quite frankly just stupid. Not to mention that people who do these thins run up healthcare...

  15. Moral/Ethical Advice

    anon695 replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    Since you have no proof that somebody else writes her papers, it wouldn't be wise for you to tell the instructors. The other student will deny the accusation, state that you have no proof, and YOU...

  16. Employment gap

    anon695 replied to Jacen Solo's topic in General Nursing

    What about non-nursing jobs? I left off an administrative assistant job I had right out of college (was laid off a year later) my resume just because it was taking up space. The job was a decade ago,...

  17. Good time to be finished with nursing school

    anon695 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Students

    I don't think 29 is old. I'll be 32 when I graduate. I had a summer externship this year and being 31 didn't preclude me from being hired for the externship so I don't think 32 will hurt me for a real...

  18. ITT TECH RN Program Portland-Accepted Student Info!

    anon695 replied to jthom1977's topic in Oregon Nursing

    $54K for an associates degree? Are you also buying a 2-bedroom house in Las Vegas for 800,000 on an adjustable rate mortgage and working with a Nigerian prince to claim inheritance money from a...

  19. Nursing Made Incredibly Easy books...

    anon695 replied to my3suns's topic in General Students

    They're worth their weight on gold I used "ECG interpretation Incredibly Easy" in my third semester and purchased the Pediatrics and Critical care ones for my fourth semester. I find these books to be...

  20. WHY do you love it??

    anon695 replied to EMEddie's topic in General Students

    I love caring for patients; making a positive difference in people's lives I love learning new skills and information that most people can't do or don't know I love being on my feet and on the go,...

  21. RN to BSN programs - how hard to get in?

    anon695 replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    An RN-BSN is not graduate school, so the admissions process is totally different. As long as your grades are decent you should be able to find one. Non-Nursing graduate school requires the GRE exam...

  22. Student Loan Debt. Where do you draw the line?

    anon695 replied to tothepointeLVN's topic in General Students

    The woman in the article went to a private school (Northeastern University, I think). I can't have any sympathy for her, she purchased an education she couldn't afford along with what sounds like a...

  23. Nursing or Teaching

    anon695 replied to Blush000's topic in General Nursing

    Liberty University is run by Jerry Falwell, a recently deceased televangelist (most likely as a tax haven for all the cash he raked in preaching on TV). The school is not respected, it's considered a...

  24. excessive talking and opinions might hurt me in the medical field

    anon695 replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    You'll be too busy on the floor to talk about anything that isn't relevant to nursing, don't worry about

  25. 79K for a BSN???

    anon695 replied to wishing2BAnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would strongly advise against spending $79K on a BSN, especially at a for-profit school like Chamberlain (NYU is similarly expensive, but at least they're a real school with a good reputation). Look...
