  2. Got a job offer, but lost it????

    acubed replied to Jmae's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    In any profession, always get a job offer in writing. Sometimes people you speak with are not the people with the hiring authority. It can happen in any career

  5. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    acubed replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    ABSOLUTELY!!! I really really don't like when residents come in without stating that they are residents--it DOES make a difference to me. Most of the time, I don't know who is the CNA, LPN, or RN...

  6. How do I get involved in Alternative/Holistic nursing?

    acubed replied to Sarah27's topic in Holistic

    Some chiropractor's offices have many services available, and some DO offices also offer holistic services. Maybe you can focus on preventative care which would include educating the public/patients,...

  7. My 1st Post - Starting BSN program next month... having doubts..

    acubed replied to Lools's topic in General Students

    One reason I choose nursing for my 2nd career is for the flexibility of scheduling (3 12hr days is very mommy-friendly for me). I would definitely caution against student loans, since you don't want...

  8. My 1st Post - Starting BSN program next month... having doubts..

    acubed replied to Lools's topic in General Students

    The two things I would advise you to consider are: 1. Everyone doesn't get pregnant right away, some people require years of trying, some people need artificial help. 2. Hate to ask this, but if...

  9. Diploma RN programs VS. ADN or BSN

    acubed replied to starmickey03's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Honestly, if it were my decision, I would go for the hospital diploma if they're willing to pay for it. Then work for them for a while and get them to pay for your master's if you are interested...

    I'm taking one that's not for credit, it's through a continuing education program at a community college, there's one starting Nov 7 and Dec 21, runs 6 weeks, $89. LIke I said, it's NOT for college...

  13. PNEUMONIA QUESTION

    acubed replied to acubed's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm, maybe I'm confused. I'm speaking of the peds pneumonia vax given by 1 year of age. I keep hearing about the peds flu cases that have end up w/pnemonia, so I'm wondering if those peds had...

  14. PNEUMONIA QUESTION

    acubed posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just wondering for those of you seeing lots of pnemonia patients who have the flu, do you know if they had the pneumonia vax and still contracted

  15. Online CNA program

    acubed replied to dee78's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Dee and everyone else who is interested in the online RN, I would be very very careful, bcse the RODP online RN is not yet accredited so they will have to wait to graduate their first class then seek...

    ooops, just realized her post was from

  18. Online CNA program

    acubed replied to dee78's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Nichole, I'm not sure but I'm guessing she wants to do the online regents program for RN (they admit fall and spring). TO do the online RN program, you must have a certification in something...

  19. H1N1

    acubed replied to trmr's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm still debating this as well, worried about the virus mutating quickly too. It's so hard to find the true hard facts. Has anyone received the vaccine and still come down with it (or know someone...

  20. Frustrated over direct entry MSN - prerequisites, but still determined

    acubed replied to jb2010's topic in Nursing Career

    freyalisa Yes, thanks I know, I have an advanced degree and am changing careers. I'm probably going to get the ADN then do a RN-MSN online program since I can't find a direct entry MSN program online...

  21. Frustrated over direct entry MSN - prerequisites, but still determined

    acubed replied to jb2010's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm finding that some of the direct MSN programs can require up to 7 science/math pre-reqs! I'm probably just going to do the 2 year ADN at the local community college (which doesn't require as many...

  23. Why do RNs get paid so similar to NPs?

    acubed replied to foreverLaur's topic in General Nursing

    I think the key is "average" salary. RNs with 20+ years experience averaged in with 5+ year RNs still sounds great. For instance, my friend is an ADN RN of 20 years and makes more than her nurse...

  24. Anyone heard anything about no more masters degrees?

    acubed replied to quetepye's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would assume that she means eventually, as in it's in the talking stage but not the works. I know a school that is beginning a accelerated BSN and online masters in 2011, so I would say not now,...

  25. Wanting to Obtain CNA certification

    acubed replied to makaylasmommy's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Nope, I'll have to wait until January I can't afford the childcare for my kids! Three weeks = $900 which means not right now! We tried to think of everything we can, but can't swing it now. I...
