  1. how did they pass theyre boards??

    soxgirl2008 replied to reginachanana2660's topic in General Nursing

    But what if putting the breathing treatment on had somehow caused more harm? The thing is you don't have the knowledge to know what the consequences are of each action, and in turn could end up doing...

  2. how did they pass theyre boards??

    soxgirl2008 replied to reginachanana2660's topic in General Nursing

    You bet it would've gone down, but you don't have the education or assessment skills to know for sure. You just don't seem to get the concept that you could lose your job AND your certification for...

  3. how did they pass theyre boards??

    soxgirl2008 replied to reginachanana2660's topic in General Nursing

    Same here...We like our patients to be at least at 93, but a 92 isn't a dire emergency. If I told my nurse a patient was at 92% she'd probably just tell me to put him on a cannula at 1 or 2

  4. how did they pass theyre boards??

    soxgirl2008 replied to reginachanana2660's topic in General Nursing

    It is your responsibility to care for your patients, however, ONLY in your scope of practice. As other people have said you don't have the education to know what the signs and symptoms of other...

  5. they say there's a nursing shortage, ha

    soxgirl2008 replied to lpn.sarah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I respect LPNs and ADN-RNs regardless, but how can you have more clinical training than an ADN when ADNs have a year more of schooling? They aren't just doing "book work" in that year, they are also...

  6. EMT-B + STNA = ER Nurse?

    soxgirl2008 replied to cgemt's topic in General Nursing

    You could be hired as an ER tech...but definitely not an ER nurse. There is still a big difference between EMT B/STNA and being an

  7. CNAs w/ no prior healthcare experience, how long did it take you to find a job?

    soxgirl2008 replied to pinkstethoscope's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It took me 4 months to find a job, but I had my heart set on working at my local hospital and I could only work PMs part-time. I eventually got the job

  8. RN-BSN: Online v. Campus. What recruiters want.

    soxgirl2008 replied to witc's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In the midwest at least they don't care as long as it's an accredited school and says BSN. Even the state university system RN-BSN programs here are basically ALL online except for one

  9. Would EMT B help me land an er tech job?

    soxgirl2008 replied to soxgirl2008's topic in Emergency

    As my original post stated im already a CNA in a hospital...I was wondering if emt would help land an ER job or if it would be a waste since I already have my

  10. New Grad positions, is anyone in WI hiring?

    soxgirl2008 replied to settinggirl's topic in General Nursing

    Where did you hear this? I haven't heard anything to this affect. I do know they are getting an ob/gyn and pediatric unit but I have not heard anything about them getting level 1 status. I believe...

  11. Working with an Agency in Wisconsin

    soxgirl2008 replied to javawren_23's topic in General Nursing

    Where in Wisconsin? In SE wisconsin hospitals around here are hiring new

  12. Painted dark pic for me...

    soxgirl2008 replied to shabookittie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How are you overqualified for the LPN program? Are you sure she wasn't just suggesting that you are qualified and should go straight for the RN? I've never heard of a program not accepting someone for...

  13. Took pre-requisites 17 years ago - should I retake?

    soxgirl2008 replied to tealvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on the program, I know some won't take sciences more than 5 or 7 years old. I know someone who had a bachelors in psych and they still made her take psych 101 and lifespan

  14. I am so disappointed in myself

    soxgirl2008 replied to OBplease's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^^ I agree with slinkyheadCNA. Many A&P professors make it extremely hard on purpose just to weed people out. A 90% in no way means you don't know the information. Nursing students I've talked...

  15. Rejected and Im not sure what to do? ),:

    soxgirl2008 replied to uhohbube's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Even if you get an associates in nursing (ADN) you're still an RN...whether you graduate from a 4 year college or a 2 year college you are still eligible to sit for the NCLEX and you're still licensed...

  16. ASN vs. BSN

    soxgirl2008 replied to LisaTurtle's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Check the job market you want to work in. In some areas its hard for ADNs to find hospital jobs. In other areas of the country hospitals don't really care as long as you are an RN. If you live...

  17. Getting an associates degree when you already have a Bachelors Degree in another fiel

    soxgirl2008 replied to DawnMP3's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Check your job market, it really depends where you live. Some areas won't hire ADNs in hospitals, other areas of the country really don't care as long as you are an RN. I'd check into accelerated...

  18. Is it worth just going from BSN rather than just a ADN..

    soxgirl2008 replied to guardcutie02's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Gotcha. Well congrats on UW! That's a great program and the price is a bargain for the education you get out of

  19. Is it worth just going from BSN rather than just a ADN..

    soxgirl2008 replied to guardcutie02's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Is this all in Madison? I know in Milwaukee Froedert will hire ADN's if they had tech experience in a hospital while in school, which I was really surprised to hear since they're magnet status. To...

  20. ADN vs BSN

    soxgirl2008 replied to Jenni811's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    So who should be the least educated member of the team? I'm not trying to start anything I'm just curious. Even with a BSN aren't RN's still the least educated of the team except for CNAs/techs?...

  21. MATC or WCTC??

    soxgirl2008 replied to scottk's topic in General Nursing

    I've also heard that at WCTC students in waukesha county get first dibs, and since there is such a large waiting list people in outside counties hardly ever get in. I know that's how it is at GTC in...

  22. Aggravated Nursing Student

    soxgirl2008 replied to amandabell's topic in General Nursing

    If you really can't stand to stay at MATC bryant and stratton or stritch might be your best bets...I'm pretty sure they don't have waiting lists. I know WCTC does, and at Alverno and UW you will...

  23. do i give up?

    soxgirl2008 replied to ctina*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would definitely either try to take less classes or work less (if possible, I know it's not possible for all of us) or try to manage your time better. I know what it's like to have to work and go...

  24. Aggravated Nursing Student

    soxgirl2008 replied to amandabell's topic in General Nursing

    How long have you been on their waiting list? As far as I know all the ADN programs have waiting lists except cardinal stritch..but they're a bit pricey for an ADN program imo. The private BSN...

  25. do i give up?

    soxgirl2008 replied to ctina*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is how I think, but I know many people don't agree so I still tell them to look into private schools if they are willing to pay the price. For how much bedside RNs make I can't imagine spending...
