  4. What a coincidence. . .every single student nurse who shadows me. . .

    kdavispn replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    The nurses and practitioners in my family have always pushed us to keep moving up the ladder. If I had the means, I would have gone straight through, but, that's just me. Its quite educational to...

    kdavispn replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I personally think is just fine to go nursing school with no intention of practicing in a clinical setting. If that was my choice, I would choose not to go become a PA because nursing gives...

    kdavispn replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    Well, first, I'm not angry. :-). I'm not here to attack anyone, even if we disagree. Ok? And Secondly, I dont think that you and I disagree. I agree with your point of view. I thought your points were...

    kdavispn replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! Nurses can do more than bed side care. Jeez. Is it a crime if bed side care is not what you want to do. What about nurses that go right into imformatics? They are not real nurses? A friend of...

    kdavispn replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    Great point. Seriously, I love my job, most of the time, but when I was a little girl, I didn't dream of becoming a nurse, even if I'm lucky enough to be

  10. What a coincidence. . .every single student nurse who shadows me. . .

    kdavispn replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    A nurse that wants to go from right into advanced practice is a nurse. Yes. You are not required to love, or practice bed side care. Period. Its very unfortunate when nurses take the position that you...

  11. What a coincidence. . .every single student nurse who shadows me. . .

    kdavispn replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    I personally would hate to be interested in a specialty, and the person responsible for training me, did not want me in the position for a reason other than unprofessional conduct, or something a long...

    kdavispn replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I'm in the minority, but it wouldn't bother me what specialty someone wants to work. After all, its their license. I think its a personal choice. If, for some reason there is no room for them,...

  13. Pateint care tech?

    kdavispn replied to amannimommy's topic in General Nursing

    You're welcome. Just remember that, no matter what route you take, it shouls be based off what YOU need and not others. Try to just use other people's experience as a guide. Don't sweat the small...

  14. Pateint care tech?

    kdavispn replied to amannimommy's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you work at one of the better hospitals. Lucky you.

  15. Pateint care tech?

    kdavispn replied to amannimommy's topic in General Nursing

    Both have their advantages. Hospitals will often hire EMTs, Medical Assistants, and Patient Care Tech for entry level positions. You cant go wrong. If your goal is to become a nurse, all of these...

    If your goal is to work in acute care, this decision will be invaluable to you for so many reasons.

  17. Failed Rn boards 4 times

    kdavispn replied to michelle.duncan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree. When you help a inexperienced nurse, you help patients, then and for the remainder of that nurses practice. You help yourself also. Initially it's more work, but eventually it will pay for...

  18. Failed Rn boards 4 times

    kdavispn replied to michelle.duncan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Now here is the point, my advice, Eliminate and IGNORE, 2 answers= 50 percent instead of a 25 percent chance of a right answer When you become a nurse, you will see that you will encounter things you...

  19. Failed Rn boards 4 times

    kdavispn replied to michelle.duncan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I could be wrong, but I think, if you have completed the ADN, you should only being taking the RN boards. The LVN boards will not be easier for you. The exam is to test that you are able to give safe...

    kdavispn replied to lovelane78's topic in Private Duty

    Lol. Too funny, but still I might just start leaving a half ejected tape in my VCR, if I ever buy

  21. Surveillance cameras in pedi patient's home?

    kdavispn replied to lovelane78's topic in Private Duty

    Clearly, this issue is important to all nurses. If I misunderstood what you said, and responded in error, accept my apology, but however, at no point was I angry with you or any other nurse. I think...

    I totally agree. Watching you while you

  23. Surveillance cameras in pedi patient's home?

    kdavispn replied to lovelane78's topic in Private Duty

    I'm not upset. Kudos to you for your experience as a nurse. I'm sure we all can learn great deal from you. On this issue, I stated my opinion. Sometimes it's difficult to determine the tone or...

  24. How can a ASN program be 2 years if you have to take prereqs and nursing classes?

    kdavispn replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lol. This nearly turned into a philosophical debate? ASN- pre reqs + 2 years of nursing BSN- pre reqs+ (school of nursing core) + 2 years of nursing For a lot of people who have never been to...

    kdavispn replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The BSN takes 3-5 years, and generally requires more general education requirements than the
