  1. The Right to Die with Dignity- MD assisted suicide

    SL2014 posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

  2. Chamberlain College of Nursing BSN Program

    SL2014 posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

  3. GN to NP in <1yr

    SL2014 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with your perspective. Perhaps, for this nurse it is not time to be an NP, but that is not true of all new graduate nurses. The RN role and the NP role are COMPLETELY different. Being an RN...

  4. Interdisciplinary Bullying!

    SL2014 replied to jtydelskiRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This happened to me when I was in ICU and when I was in LTC. The staff were literally running to the manager for anything and everything, sometimes blatantly lying, other times making a big deal out...

  5. Night shift diff

    SL2014 replied to KWbeliever's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Most do offer a shift differential. I agree with the first person who responded. State that you wanted to work nights because you need a shift differential and if they do not offer it you would like...

  6. what is a scientific process of nursing?

  8. Jobs in school, success on NCLEX

    SL2014 replied to Rnotyetanurse's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure how much being a Pharm Tech will help you with nursing. Being a CNA will help you

  9. Does Preferring to Work Night Shift mean you're lazy?

    SL2014 replied to Soliloquy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Work smarter not harder. Get paid more to do less? Why

  10. How Would You Report This Illegal Work Situation??

    SL2014 replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You posted a thread asking for people's opinion. That is what you received- a lot of other peoples' opinions... Since a majority of the opinions seems to disagree with yours, instead of telling people...

  11. How Would You Report This Illegal Work Situation??

    SL2014 replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And I cannot agree more with the people who have already said: DO NOT report her to the BON. She hasn't done anything blatantly illegal, harmful, malicious or wrong. If she ends up getting...

  12. How Would You Report This Illegal Work Situation??

    SL2014 replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My response might get flagged but... It kinda seems like you are just "hating" on this person for whatever reason... I hear an undertone of jealousy and/or intimidation in your post. She might just...

  13. Are you satisfied?

    SL2014 posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Hello All! I would like to get perform a survey including NP salary, certification, area of work and job satisfaction. There are other threads from 2009 addressing salary, none addressing...

  14. Are you satisfied?

    SL2014 replied to SL2014's topic in Advanced Practice

    There are tons of forums on allnurses.com that request salaries, if people are uncomfortable posting salary then they don't have to respond :). It is because a bunch of us students were wondering how...

  15. Sigma Theta Tau

    SL2014 replied to mmcc01's topic in General Students

    Yes it is equally competitive here also. When I got the membership I was thinking "I need more stuff to put on my résumé" because as a new grad your résumé looks like everyone else's. It still...

  16. Sigma Theta Tau

    SL2014 replied to mmcc01's topic in General Students

    I am/was a Sigma Theta Tau member. My GPA was 3.75, I was #2 in my cohort of 55 nursing students the girl above me had a 3.76. Yes, that's right, no one in my cohort got Summa Cum Laude lol. Just my...

  17. Aggressive patients?

    SL2014 replied to NanikRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We get a little gray triangle thing on the top of the EMR, which indicated past violent behavior with medical staff. Honestly though its not a huge help. VERY rarely will a person just be chilling in...

  18. Night shift nurses: tips on sleeping AT NIGHT

    SL2014 replied to edwindelahiggins's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on what time you are staying up until the night before... if you're tired enough you WILL sleep. What I mean is if you work from 7p-7a then come home and sleep until 4, yes you might have...

    SL2014 replied to serenity729's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes, like the other person said- in order to be eligible for FMLA you have to work for an employer for one year. There are a lot of companies that offer alternatives to FMLA that include 12 weeks of...

  20. The Right to Die with Dignity- MD assisted suicide

    SL2014 replied to SL2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Dr. Devil Thank you for saying this. I completely agree, which is why I included "allowable for anyone" in the poll. Everyone should have access to PAS. If a person believes that their life is no...

  21. Student Loans

    SL2014 replied to Est1983's topic in General Students

    Yes. Apply for financial aid to see if you qualify for federal loans. Just an FYI though, the interest rates are really high. You can also go to a bank and apply for a student loan to see when your...

  22. When will NCLEX results post ?

    SL2014 replied to franSchm's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, trying to re-register works, and it works immediately. Other than that, every BON is different. Some will show your status online, others just send your license in the

  23. Honest Question

    SL2014 replied to RNikkiF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  24. The Right to Die with Dignity- MD assisted suicide

    SL2014 replied to SL2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  25. BSN to FNP online programs: are there many that don't require 2 years RN experience?

    SL2014 replied to bave's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Chamberlain does not require 2 years. Neither does University of Arizona (but its a DNP program). Yes, Chamberlain is "for profit" but it's honestly not much more than State Universities, especially...
