    ADN's being pushed out

    Anoetos replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Probably an unfortunate choice of words on my part. You're quite right, scope is scope. Be that as it may, I hope my point wasn't

    ADN's being pushed out

    Anoetos replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I hope no one has ever belittled your experience. I know that I never would. But by the same token, I cannot tell you how many times, upon being asked what my degree is, I have been told by ADN...

    ADN's being pushed out

    Anoetos replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    First of all, my program was BSN. That said, I get your point and I never meant to imply that your were inadequately prepared. I am quite certain you are a far better nurse than I will am at the...

    Anoetos replied to PNicholas's topic in General Students

    Well, no. An ADN prepares the graduate for general, bedside nursing. A BSN prepares the graduate for a much larger scope of practice, including management, public health, and research. This is not to...

    Ok this may be a rant but....

    Anoetos replied to PNicholas's topic in General Students

    Yes, this is a very old, very tired debate and it seems like it is always being brought up by ADNs. I have never heard or seen a BSN lord it over an ADN the way we might be led to believe from the way...

    ADN's being pushed out

    Anoetos replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I just finished my BSN and never took music, linguistics or history. I did however take classes in leadership, law and ethics, community and public health (emphasis on prevention/promotion), and above...

    Nursing classes are over. I begin work as a GN in about three weeks and have to take boards within 45 days of starting. Color me

    Recieving a patient from ER

    Anoetos replied to jkr2020788's topic in Emergency

    You do realize that in the vast, vast majority of cases the first we hear of a patient is on an ill-formed and oddly worded page, the information in which may or may not bear any relation to reality...

    I've sent in my application and had my fingerprints done

    Anoetos posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'll be finished with school on August first. I have completed and submitted my application with the requisite fee and have had my fingerprints done at L1. I know I still have to register with...

    Recieving a patient from ER

    Anoetos replied to jkr2020788's topic in Emergency

    Fair enough, I beg your pardon...if your experience has been different and my perception of the comments made by ER nurses in this thread was inaccurate, I apologize. I think what set it off was the...

    Recieving a patient from ER

    Anoetos replied to jkr2020788's topic in Emergency

    Excellent. Just excellent. And so true. How does this happen EVERY DAY? But to make sure I am hearing the ER RNs correctly: your job is so different and hectic that floor nurses should just suck it up...

    Henry Ford Main Vs. Beaumont Royal Oak

    Anoetos replied to sunkissedmspriss's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Juan's answer is excellent. I am a current WBH employee. I have had clinical at a HF satellite hospital but never at the main so I cannot say anything about it other than that I have heard it is a...

    EPIC Computer Charting

    Anoetos replied to rebelccrn's topic in MICU, SICU

    LOVE epic OneChart. I cut my teeth on it, so I am biased. My experience with other systems is limited, basically just Cerna which I hated, but again, unfamiliarity can sink an opinion. Epic is...

    Same as LadyNurse, We use it for prevention of catheter associated infections. Anyone getting a central line gets two chlorhexidine baths, one the night before and one the morning of, their procedure...

    Anoetos replied to persephone162's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You're cohorted, so you'll al take the same classes. You can take electives, but I would encourage you not to, at least until you're done with Fundamentals.This is, in the experience of most seniors,...

    Davenport University

    Anoetos replied to persephone162's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Once you're in the program, all your NURS classes are scheduled by your advisor. Any other, non-NURS classes you may have to take (Law/Ethics, Patho, Micro, etc) can be scheduled at your

    Help a Senior out :3

    Anoetos replied to mrjspham's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Every now and then you run into a "nursing is a female profession" ball-buster, but, thankfully, they are few and far between. Most (male) doctors appreciate them/us, and most of the women appreciate...

    Future Nursing Student, fainted near blood

    Any Nurse Techs in RN nursing programs?

    Anoetos replied to kv07's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    It's possible but probably difficult. My program is an 8 semester pre-licensure "ground up" one, they told us not to work more than 16 hours a week which is silly, IMO, but for some, not really too...

    Any Nurse Techs in RN nursing programs?

    Anoetos replied to kv07's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I got really lucky getting hired as a nursing assistant in the radiology department of a big hospital here in the Detroit area. The rules here are that, in order to work as a tech, you have to have...
