    sarita279 replied to sarita279's topic in First Year After Licensure

    sarita279 replied to pedi-RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hello! I've been coming to allnurses for quite some time now, but finally I am introducing myself. I just had the type of day that makes me feel like I finally belong in the "first year of nursing"...

  6. Perioperative programs around Denver

    sarita279 replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Colorado Nursing

    University only hires BSNs for a couple reasons. First, it fits into having Magnet status and also the academic and research focus of the organization. Second, they have a new grad residency (which...

  7. Accelerated BSN - Do employers really care where you went?

    sarita279 replied to kittypepper028's topic in General Nursing

    Thing is, Johns Hopkins' program is CRAZY expensive, for a BSN. Where you go to school can be important for employers, but I think that the name recognition/prestige of a school becomes more...

  9. Aching legs and feet... Advice?

    sarita279 replied to StudentC's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  12. Nurse NOT among the fastest growing jobs/careers

    sarita279 replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I find it absolutely incredible that you can infer that I am ignorant simply based on that post. Ever heard of humor to diffuse a situation? For goodness sake, its a message board. If I can't have...

  13. Nurse NOT among the fastest growing jobs/careers

    sarita279 replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    sarita279 replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm Republican. And a nurse...so I guess according to your reasoning I should quit or become Democrat. Or would you think me simply stupid and ignorant? And don't worry, I'm used to feeling...

  15. Intimidation Tactics as Teaching Tools?

  21. Immunization Requirements - Help!

    sarita279 replied to DanaS's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I think that there is an issue with individual freedom versus responsibility to others involved in the decision. An unimmunized child may get through life just fine, and not become ill. A strong...

    sarita279 replied to DanaS's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Yep, I've heard the waiver process is so easy in Colorado...and that probably contributes to our terrible immunization rates. A bit off topic, but there you go
