  4. An RN with a Bachelors in Biology instead of BSN?

    BrookeeLou_RN replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

  5. Differences of Scope of Nursing Between States

    BrookeeLou_RN replied to widi96's topic in General Nursing

  7. An RN with a Bachelors in Biology instead of BSN?

    BrookeeLou_RN replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

    I was not generalizing, I was merely saying some do. I was complimenting the young lady. And even if you have walked in similar shoes as I have that still does not mean we know how she feels. Chill.....

  8. An RN with a Bachelors in Biology instead of BSN?

    BrookeeLou_RN replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

  10. Is nursing "care" a thing of the past?

    BrookeeLou_RN replied to AnneBlunnRN's topic in General Nursing

    No.. good nursing care still exists but funny thing I did discover is when I go into hospital as a patient, all the good nurses go on vacation! Must be

  11. should I confess? 12-month full time then part-time for the rest

    BrookeeLou_RN replied to nursing.mypassion's topic in General Nursing

    Life is short..confess nothing of this sort on an interview. Your plans may change the employers may change. You can not predict the future so too much honesty is not a good thing

    BrookeeLou_RN replied to widi96's topic in General Nursing

    Great idea! Florida seems to be one of the broadest nurse practice acts I have seen (no exert mind you) you might use them vs Texas. I personally believe there should be a National license and...

    BrookeeLou_RN replied to OOklahomaGal's topic in General Nursing

    Can you shadow a nurse LPN or RN for a day or two? See how people interact with them and see how you feel emotionally. It is not perfect idea but it might let you know right off if you can not deal...

    BrookeeLou_RN replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

    Boy did I miss something. I thought Mom was going to start LPN school, and now she is mentally unstable? Are we still talking about the same 17 yo? If she feels it is her place to help out her family...
