    Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    BabyCatchr replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To be honest, patient care has come a long way since the "old" days when I was a child. There were a couple of times I had injuries that I was held down and "papoosed," (papoose is a board with...

    Confused About What To Do

    BabyCatchr replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just went through this as a teacher. Worked for 3 years as a substitute making $7 per hour while waiting for a teaching job. When I finally got a job, it paid only $18K per year at a private...

    Job market prefers BSN , turns away ADN

    BabyCatchr replied to aromarn's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes, these courses should be standardized so they are acceptable across the board if you transfer schools. The diploma program that would be easiest for me to complete is not only not accredited by...

    BabyCatchr replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Unfortunately, it's people like that who make honest, hard-working people like me look bad. I have been laid off twice recently due to the economy or some reason that is no fault of my own, and I...

    "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    BabyCatchr replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    oops, sorry, I saw that I replied to a very old post, so this may be redundant: That would be ONLY after you have completed all the prereqs (which constitute half the program) and hold previous...

    Job market prefers BSN , turns away ADN

    BabyCatchr replied to aromarn's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    But the prereqs and/or coreqs and some classes taken at a diploma school may not transfer for your BSN or MSN because the diploma schools are not accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges....

    BabyCatchr replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    UGHHHH!! That article is horribly one-sided. They neglect to offer solutions such as federal grants and loans made available to AMERICANS to promote education for RNs and RNs-to-be. "Just import your...

    BabyCatchr replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but there is a strict age limit, and at 40 years old and just starting my RN, I am too old to qualify! Plus, being single and having young children, it is not an option - what are they going to...

    BabyCatchr replied to aromarn's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That is why I am considering getting my BSN since I already have a bachelor's. You should be able to find employment if everything stayed the same, but things seem to be changing drastically with our...

    BSN vs. RN Salary

    BabyCatchr replied to busylizzy's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Maybe you are thinking of a diploma nurse who graduates from a hospital program and not a college? That nurse would get an RN or an LVN but would not have a BSN OR ADN

    What makes Nursing school hard?

    BabyCatchr replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Students

    So, would it be worth it for me to pursue a BSN vs a 2 yr RN since I already have a bachelor's degree? I am a single mother of 2. It would take me 2 years just to get the prereqs vs 1 yr for 2 yr...

    BabyCatchr replied to cenote's topic in General Nursing
