    Anoetos replied to keepmovingrn's topic in General Students

    You'll be joining the rest of us 2.9 million nurses in the workforce. That's a lot of nurses, isn't it? The single largest segment of the healthcare system. There are millions of us, almost three...

    Why are Nurses so mean to each other?

    Anoetos replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Great point, and I am glad you mentioned gender. This is exactly an area where men and women tend to differ, I think. That said, I also think it's true that blunt women can be perceived as very...

    Why are Nurses so mean to each other?

    Anoetos replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I should probably unpack what I was getting at. Men and women deal with group dynamics differently. When they are fairly well individuated and evolved, both men and women deal effectively with working...

    New to nursing field - got fired after 2 months

    Anoetos replied to lifeisgood2012's topic in First Year After Licensure

    All I can say is that Novo's clinical skills better be perfect because there is no way, with an attitude like that, that he'd make it in psych. And then there's the fact that you need clinical skills...

    Anoetos replied to ProudNeWRN's topic in General Nursing

    Let me hurry up and adds that I have worked as an "Unlicensed Assistive Personnel" both as a Nurse's Aide and a Nurse Tech, and that I fully recognize that the good ones are worth their weight in...

    Any reason for me to renew my CNA license after RN license?

    Anoetos replied to ProudNeWRN's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting...Thanks for the insight. We learned something different in NS... Anyway, the State of Virginia consistently refers to CNA'S as certified, Nurses as licensed. That said, it also looks like...

    Any reason for me to renew my CNA license after RN license?

    Anoetos replied to ProudNeWRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think the issue here is that licensure indicates a specific state regulated sphere of practice and responsibility. It indicates a level of expertise and privilege recognized by state authority as...

    Any reason for me to renew my CNA license after RN license?

    Anoetos replied to ProudNeWRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think so. Isn't everything a CNA does subsumed under RN scope? In other words isn't everything CNAs do delegated to them and therefore included in the total of RN

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

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

    Please don't think I just want to poke holes in this. If its true it's great. I have noticed your reticence in mentioning the name of the program in the thread itself and that makes me curious. Also,...

    Do men and women go into nursing for different reasons?

    Anoetos replied to European's topic in Men in Nursing

    I am in it because I lost my job and had to do something. Good thing for me I like people and science. Nursing has been a great fit and I seem to be pretty good at it. Like an earlier poster, I have...

    Anoetos replied to mumbojumbo's topic in Men in Nursing

    I am a big guy. Not as tall as you but I am wide and, frankly, physically very strong. My experience has been that most people, coworkers and patients alike appreciate it; elderly patients especially....

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

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

    well, unfortunately, BSN curriculae aren't uniform. Most schools require coursework in microbiology, pathophysiology, organic chemistry and several other classes, that do not always form part of an...

    The Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice

    Anoetos posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hi, this is the AACN's presentation of the identifying features of the Bachelors prepared nurse. I am not posting it here to defend it although I do have a BSN. I am just putting it up in the hopes...

    There is actually a document outlining the essentials of a baccalaureate prepared nurse. We studied it in Senior Seminar. I'll try to find a copy and post it in a separate

    Anoetos replied to PNicholas's topic in General Students

    Perception is a funny thing. Mine is quite the opposite. Example: this very thread was started from the ADN perspective. It asked why BSNs don't think ADNs are as good as them, our answer thus far has...
