    Stanford Rape

    lifelearningrn replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the situation is that out of the norm. I remember high school well, it was not that abnormal for a night of partying to lead to 2 intoxicated people hooking up, often to the regret of...

    Stanford Rape

    lifelearningrn replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. Why stop at women? I think we should be teaching the boys the exact same thing. I plan on drilling this into my boys when they get to the age. Drinking, drugs, partying can RUIN YOUR LIFE. I...

    Starting over age 40

    lifelearningrn replied to Sarahbear's topic in General Nursing

    It did take me a few months to get my first job, which was in a SNF- but I disagree that they don't pay as well.. as a new grad I was getting a pretty good hourly salary- definitely as much (if not...

    Starting over age 40

    lifelearningrn replied to Sarahbear's topic in General Nursing

    Hi there and welcome to allnurses! You are not alone.. there are a LOT of us non-traditional nurses around here. I came to this site in 2010, when I decided to take the leap. This site helped me...

    First Job as a Nurse manager

    lifelearningrn replied to joohwangee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Is it a true manager position or is it an 'RN Supervisor' position? I ask because one of the larger LTC/Rehab corporations out there use the title 'RN Supervisor' for all the bedside RNs, they are not...

    Are frequent moves harmful to my career?

    lifelearningrn replied to Rew3n's topic in General Nursing

    I know the general consensus on AN is job hopping is bad. Moving because of your spouse is not the same thing, and easy enough to explain in an interview. 1-2 years is probably average for nurses...

    Stanford Rape

    lifelearningrn replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    I have a question that is on the topic of intoxication and consent which has always bothered me. Lets say at this same college party another pair of kids are both near or at black out intoxicated, end...

    Congratulations! Good luck in your career as an RN. Have you been working as an LPN all this time? Hopefully you will transition into the RN role

    Stanford Rape

    lifelearningrn replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    It did bother me that the mother's letter to the judge was really an "all about me" narrative where she talks about how she can't even decorate her new home because of what happened. It was so...

    My sister failed out of her first nursing school, she transferred to another program and has been a nurse for decades now! :) There is nursing after a failure.. try applying to other programs. Good...

    Is an accelerated BSN worth $87K?

    lifelearningrn replied to KJet5's topic in General Students

    There are more people that have taken on this amount of debt for their degree.. they're either not on this site, or not piping to be ridiculed by those who are dead set against it. That's not to say...

    Fair enough. :) I can't argue this

    Chamberlain Phx, AZ - BSN Program Input

    lifelearningrn replied to KJet5's topic in Chamberlain College

    I was considering Chamberlain in Houston. It was my LAST option because of the price, but had I not been able to land a spot at a state school, I would have probably gone that route. Is it expensive?...

    Is an accelerated BSN worth $87K?

    lifelearningrn replied to KJet5's topic in General Students

    I think this is a good point. In CA, IIRC, the wait list for ADN can be years, and that is AFTER all the prereqs are complete. Is it worth it to you to get the ball rolling now? Only you can answer....

    Is 90k in loans worth my BSN?

    lifelearningrn replied to raeelynn's topic in General Students

    I'm going to play devil's advocate here... People generally have no qualms about taking out 30k+ loans every six years for a new vehicle. Some people trade in every 4-5 years and are continuously...

    This is me too. If it's a kid I don't recognize, I have them lay down while I look up their health office history.. if it is a student who has been at my school for more than a year without so much as...

    A new grad who needs some advice

    lifelearningrn replied to NewNurse91D's topic in General Nursing

    Study for the NCLEX, but don't spend all day, every day doing it. Do some practice questions daily. Give it maybe an hour a day and feel confident in your education. I'll be honest, I went into the...

    A new grad who needs some advice

    lifelearningrn replied to NewNurse91D's topic in General Nursing

    When I graduated from nursing school, I almost felt like I had post-traumatic stress disorder. I had nightmares about nursing school, NCLEX, nursing jobs. It's a lot to take in and I think your brain...

    Is this normal orientation for ICU??

    lifelearningrn replied to Aloe_sky's topic in Critical Care

    Hopefully they will move this to a more general nursing forum (or ICU) to get more input. I will say giving a brand new ICU nurse 2 patients seems dangerous... when I did my ICU rotation it was 1:1.....

    I'm 16 with a GED

    lifelearningrn replied to greateggs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Start taking classes now. Knock out all the courses you need for an associate's degree, focusing on nursing pre-reqs. Why not have a degree to show for the two years waiting to be eligible for nursing...
