  1. Philosophy of Nursing

    ADNRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Below is my philosophy of nursing. I welcome any criticism or discussion. And maybe you could post your own philosophy of nursing. All nurses should have one, right? Monistic Nursing "The glory that...

  2. Low Down on Nursing Education

    ADNRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    In a former life, I was an education counselor, so from that perspective, let me set a few things straight about education and the RN. 1. Nurses, don't require a degree. For most of the time, nurses...

  3. nursing career is looking grim!!!!!!!!!!!

    ADNRN replied to lildebbie-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Have you taken the NCLEX yet? You said you graduated on the 12th of December. Maybe you could concentrate on that. I can imagine this is really disappointing for you, but however slowly it passes, the...

  4. Post-Mortem Care

    ADNRN replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    The dead body no longer requires respect, except out of respect for the family, who are living. Only the living require respect. I've seen nurses all in tears over a dead body that they wouldn't...

  5. Oh boy should I do this?

    ADNRN replied to koan's topic in General Nursing

    If you feel like you could make a difference, if that's really your reason for being a nurse, then don't worry about what you read in here. Most nurses I know are happy with their job. I couldn't...

  6. A good first step...

    ADNRN replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck to you. I did the same thing. I worked at a nursing home during AP 1&2 and micro and then on Saturdays during level 1. I didn't work during level 2, but I did an externship during the...

  7. I Hate Nursing School

    ADNRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I hate nursing school. Our school has a reputation for being one of the top 100 in the country (whatever that means), and in the area, it is known for being the toughest, but now in the last semester,...

  8. I Hate Nursing School

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Did I not just say a few posts up that we need to drop the ADN BSN garbage? Oh, but why would reality stand in the way of you wagging a finger at me? After all, taking the opportunity to wag a finger...

  9. I Hate Nursing School

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I hear you. Why don't they focus on nursing? Most of the people in our class have never done, in real life, any of the tasks we checked off

  10. I Hate Nursing School

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Not that I would correct you on how I feel, but I pretty much hate nursing school. As I said, I love nursing, and I want to learn the remaining subjects that we are being taught. But I'm sick of the...

    Yes ma'am. I'm counting them with you. Thanks for the

  13. I Hate Nursing School

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've noticed that about advocates for the BSN. They always give the diploma people a pass. Evidently, the conflict between BSN and ADN has nothing to do with one's ability to be a nurse. The conflict...

  14. I Hate Nursing School

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nice. By the way, I've always known that quitting was an option. But thanks for the priceless advice, anyway. I'll make sure to pass it along to the remaining members of my

  15. I Hate Nursing School

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    A big WHATEVER to you. I'm glad to see that you've tried so hard to stay away from my posts and yet, bing!. Here you are. I am so sick of this. I exist; therefore I'm a troublemaker. Is it really me...

  16. I Hate Nursing School

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know. I don't know if one needs the other college coursework to be a good nurse or not. Personally, I don't think so. Nursing school is nursing school. But your experience of it and mine are...

  17. Business Cards?

    ADNRN replied to earthling's topic in General Nursing

    RNs on the floor may not need business cards, but I will have some made up just for the times I am out and want to exchange email addresses with someone, or whatever. Or if I write articles or send...

  18. I Hate Nursing School

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's interesting to see that a lot of people feel the same way I do. I read a book once called "Intensive Care" by Echo Heron. She went to nursing school in the early 70s and her description sounds...

  19. I Hate Nursing School

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd probably like it, too if I were in your school. Is a diploma program even college? Are you sure we're not comparing apples and oranges

  20. I Hate Nursing School

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    How nice. He apologizes to Lydia and not me. Oh what am I griping about. If I haven't learned how people are in the world by now, I've got some real growing up to

  21. Bedside is Best

    ADNRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Think about it: The bedside nurse (aka, the staff nurse, the direct caregiver), is what this whole thing called nursing is all about. All other aspects of nursing serve only one purpose: to support...

  22. Status

    ADNRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    How we seek status. Get the LPN so that you're better than the CNA, get the CNA so that you're better than the housekeeper. Get the RN so that you're better than the LPN, CNA or houskeeper. Get the...

  23. Bedside is Best

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent point. And I have changed my view. I now think that the entire healthcare system is, in theory, there to treat and care for the patient. Everyone is needed. But since I can't delete my...

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Whatever. Let's see what the moderators have to say about your personal attacks. I'm out of this

  25. Bedside is Best

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good points. Actually, I don't have a reply because your first paragraph confirms what I'm trying to say, and the examples you give are
