    My philosophy about this issue is if you give me an extra $8.00 an hour, I will do ALL the housekeeping...if you give me an additional $10.00 an hour, I'll do EVERYTHING a CNA is supposed to do, but...

  2. What do you think is the MOST difficult clinical skill to acquire in your experience?

    Alnamvet replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    None of the aforementioned posts have ever been hard to master...only thing I can think of is memorizing

  3. Why, would any RN oppose requiring a BSN for all future nurses?

    Alnamvet replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I read the above articles, and though it was said numerous times that a baccalaureate education as entry level only applies to baccalaureate in nursing..no mention of any baccalaureate. This is the...

  4. Why, would any RN oppose requiring a BSN for all future nurses?

    Alnamvet replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I am assuming you have an RN license, so with your BS in Psych, what you are probably missing is a course in Community/public health. Also, a nursing research course is part of a BSN, but any...

  7. Why, would any RN oppose requiring a BSN for all future nurses?

    Alnamvet replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

  9. We don't have enough nurses!

    Alnamvet replied to StudentRN@NIC's topic in General Nursing

    The reality here is that NURSES don't want to let another nurse know that they are valuable...it goes against the thinking of nurses to acknowledge excellence in practice. Administrators, doctors,...

  10. Why, would any RN oppose requiring a BSN for all future nurses?

    Alnamvet replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Alnamvet replied to StephMSeattle's topic in General Nursing

  18. CNA's...complaining constantly...

    Alnamvet replied to StephMSeattle's topic in General Nursing

    For my peace of mind, to get rid of the stress and resentments, to enhance quality care and patient safety, get rid of all CNAs...for each CNA, there are probably 3 RNs who would "like" to depend on...

  24. Low Down on Nursing Education

    Alnamvet replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing
