Hello OP, I have been a nurse for close to 3 years. Get a note from your doctor saying your are allergic. That is all that is required. One thing you need to learn in nursing, right away, when speaking to management is never let your left hand know w...

Hello fellow nurses I am an ADN level Registered Nurse. I've been practicing for a little less than 2 years. I do enjoy being a nurse, however I know that I do not want to be in health care forever, not even for the next 5 years. I am a mid 20's male...

@canigraduate thank your. I borrowed "team-oriented".

Hello Dan, I am also interested in Boise's RN-BSN program. Particularly, if out of state students, like my-self, will be granted in state tuition. Some public colleges allow all online students to receive instate tuition, even out of staters. Overall...

Hello guys, I am an out of state RN from NY. I am considering Boise State's program. However, I would like to know of online students get in state tuition? Thanks.

Well I can add this. My father worked in computer science since the 80's. He was a supervisor in his company and realized that the people he was "over" made way more money than he did. He quit his job and became a regular staff member. The end.

I just wonder what happened to you don't finish your med pass before your shift is over. is it okay to not give a medication you were supposed to and leave it for the next nurse? I am seriously asking.

I am in the same situation. So when I do not finish my med pass @ 3pm, the end of shift, what should I do? Can I leave with out giving all my patients blood pressure meds? Or should I expect the nurse coming on what I didn't? And I'm seriously asking...

It does sound like a way to save money. And if it is, it's something that facilities will adopted. It doesn't sound like a bad idea. I'm sure if this is someone's first NP job, they will quickly take it.

LPNs are a nursing homes, bread and butter. lpn aren't going anywhere for a long time, the baby boomers are going to end up in the nursing home someday. RNs are too expensive to hire in LTC.

It's funny I've been on over 8 interviews for RN positions. Non have been formal. I remember my very first interview, about 2 months ago, I practiced three days in advance for the interview, I went over tough screening questions, only to have my int...

Did not read your post in its entirety. I just wanted to say that I knew nursing "wasn't for me" my first semester. However my grades were really good, many of my professors liked me and I had classmates encouraging me to continue on. I stuck it, out...

Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. When a confrontational person realizes that you're willing to go further than he/she is, usually they back off before things get bad. No one can do that to me at work, nor have they tried. Probably because...

I don't want to pay my loans either... So I'm starting my RB-BSN program soon. This will work in my benefit, I'll be able to work part time while focusing on my studies. My loans will be automatically placed in deferment without penalty. However, you...

It's much better going into an RN program, brand new with no prior experience. I say that because many people who were lpns in the program. They relied on past experiences or "real world/ life nursing". Nursing school is much different than working ...

Honestly, I see no difference between an ADN or ASN and a BSN. I do not think going for my Bachelors will improve my nursing judgment nor will It add to my science or medical knowledge. I think a bachelor degree in nursing can improve managerial skil...

The nursing profession would greatly benefit from having more males. Nursing bargaining groups and the overall development of nursing would benefit. Right now men makeup less than 15% of the nursing population. Imagine how different nursing would be ...

The first rule of nursing school, is to play the game. You should have just said "yes, nursing is #1." Realistically your husband can take care of your kids, and they can eat McDonalds for 2 years and be fine . The professor has absolute power, she ...

Ok, I will take your word for it. ---------- [i think I'd leave "Sneaky and proud of it" off your resume too.] Quote I thought that was covered under "excellent critical thinking skills". ----------- losing your license would be the least of your ...

Exactly! Thanks to anyone who avoided belittling. And to the lynching mob (very much like nursing culture as we know it today), you guys are absolutely ridiculous. There's absolutely no way one can lose their license over stretching the truth of havi...

I'm currently in an RN-BSN program. Under EDUCATION: I have "RN-BSN" placed there. RN-BSN should indicate that I am a RN continuing my education.

LPN vs ADN vs BSN

Honestly, I prefer being called a "male nurse". For me, being in the patient position, if a health care worker told me my nurse was coming. And in walked a man, I'd be mind boggled. I wouldn't be psychologically prepared. I'd be expecting a nice woma...

REJECTED TOO! Ozzy84 you and I shouldn't worry we both go to community college for nursing and because of that we will save a bunch of $$$. Any how I think many nursing programs purposely only allow men to make up 10% of the class population. We only...

Well I have finals for nursing fundamentals, so at this point I have already visualized getting a rejection letter. Now I'll be able to focus on getting this A. Good luck to all!
