  1. NEW GRAD letter to Chuck Schumer

  3. NEW GRAD letter to Chuck Schumer

    WondeR.N. replied to SunshineRN79's topic in New York Nursing

    Maybe certain hospitals that want to make the switch to all-BSN educated nurses are allowing their currently employed ADN-educated RNs 10 years to earn their Bachelor's? Could be. Or maybe another...

  5. NEW GRAD letter to Chuck Schumer

    WondeR.N. replied to SunshineRN79's topic in New York Nursing

    What?! No! If you pass the licensing exam, you are a licensed RN. Nobody is taking away your license unless you have it revoked for malpractice, negligence, etc. You have to renew your...

    BTW, sorry for the typos. Allergy medicine is making me a little

  7. NEW GRAD letter to Chuck Schumer

    WondeR.N. replied to SunshineRN79's topic in New York Nursing

    No, it shouldn't make a difference. It makes no sense whatsoever. A licensed RN is a licensed RN...period. The two year program I went to is consistently ranked as having one of the top few NCLEX...

  8. NEW GRAD letter to Chuck Schumer

    WondeR.N. replied to SunshineRN79's topic in New York Nursing

    No, there is no additional test. You will be a licensed RN when you pass the NCLEX-RN after graduating from NCC, no matter the degree. Getting you Bachelor's is a good choice to increase your...

  9. Time of the month in light colored scrubs

    WondeR.N. replied to jkmk's topic in General Students

    Our uniforms were the whitest white I'd ever seen, and I'm not one of those light flow girls. Here is what I did: a tampon and a pad with snug undies or pantyhose underneath--the pantyhose are a good...

  10. Salary info help needed

    WondeR.N. posted a topic in School

    Hi, everybody, I am considering a temporary school nursing position in a school/day treatment program for seriously mentally ill children. Can anyone give me any guidance about what the salary should...

  11. lower endoscopy usual pracctice

    WondeR.N. replied to laurentrilli's topic in Gastroenterology

    Ah...CrohnieToo, I just noticed your username. I've actually been keeping my fingers crossed that this recently developed IBS isn't the beginnings of Crohn's, b/c my mom has it. We'll

  12. lower endoscopy usual pracctice

    WondeR.N. replied to laurentrilli's topic in Gastroenterology

    I have IBS along with an autoimmune issue--hence the inflammation. Although, recent research is suggesting that there actually is inflammation in "regular" IBS, as

  13. pre-nursing mom of 3 needs advice

    WondeR.N. replied to Lgoodson614's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would like to add something. I was reading another thread today from a nurse in a medi-spa that does cosmetic procedures; she has been insulted repeatedly by many nurses asking her when she's going...

    WondeR.N. replied to laurentrilli's topic in Gastroenterology

    I should clarify that while the procedure itself was uncomplicated, I was quite inflamed. Not sure if I made that

  15. lower endoscopy usual pracctice

    WondeR.N. replied to laurentrilli's topic in Gastroenterology

    As a patient with IBS, I can say that I never could have endured a scope without propofol. I had a baby without a single molecule of anything--not even Tylenol--so I can deal with pain. However, I...

  16. pre-nursing mom of 3 needs advice

    WondeR.N. replied to Lgoodson614's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As a mom, I just want to add a bit more encouragement. I posted my earlier message before reading through all the responses, and I have to say, a lot of them sounded a bit discouraging. Listen, you...

  17. pre-nursing mom of 3 needs advice

    WondeR.N. replied to Lgoodson614's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went to nursing school while my kids were very young, as well. Day care can be extremely expensive, and you would still have to deal with somehow juggling their drop-off and pick-up with your...

  18. What a difference a year makes!

    WondeR.N. replied to rnrainy's topic in Psychiatric

    Thanks, rainy! And I do have good news. I got an offer today for a full-time job with a large medical practice in the area. It's a great start, and I'm soooo

  19. Salary info help needed

    WondeR.N. replied to WondeR.N.'s topic in School

    It's a wonderful job. I really enjoy the work, and the children are incredible. I smile all day. It's busy all day, and it's always something different. Unfortunately, it's temporary. However...I...

  20. What a difference a year makes!

    WondeR.N. replied to rnrainy's topic in Psychiatric

    rnrainy, after a year of being beaten down by not being able to find a job as a new grad, your post was a breath of "fresh" air. It gives me hope that I will find a job that will give me that much...

  21. NEW GRAD letter to Chuck Schumer

    WondeR.N. replied to SunshineRN79's topic in New York Nursing

    I hear you. I also really feel for the nurses who are still employed in the hospitals after all the cuts. Somehow they're supposed to maintain clinical excellence while completely overworked and...

  22. NEW GRAD letter to Chuck Schumer

    WondeR.N. replied to SunshineRN79's topic in New York Nursing

    and by the way, I have no doubt Robert was referring to Atkins' and Nygaard's research from 2003, which has been widely criticized--by multiple state nursing associations and the National League for...

  23. NEW GRAD letter to Chuck Schumer

    WondeR.N. replied to SunshineRN79's topic in New York Nursing

    you need to reply to Robert the Idiot and request to see the "research" that has shown that patient outcomes are better when cared for by BSN grads. What a f-ing idiot. Seriously. So...my prior...

    WondeR.N. replied to SunshineRN79's topic in New York Nursing

    I like how he said you're "very well spoken." That sounds like code for, "Wow, I can't believe you can write letters with only an associates

  25. I'm really angry!!! And i just need to vent!!!!

    WondeR.N. replied to GM RN 2010's topic in Florida Nursing

    You know, the problem with going on for your BSN is that it will cost almost the same as getting a master's--at least in my area (NY). I have a bachelor's degree in another field and my ADN--and...
