    The Truth About Nursing

    ThePrincessBride replied to LorieStesk's topic in General Nursing

    OP, How are you not going to allow a presumably grown woman from taking out loans and doing what she wants to do? And nor importantly, why do you care? Your post comes off as controlling and a little...

    Why don't you just read the chart?

    ThePrincessBride replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I used to work at a place as a tech where emergency department nurses were no longer required to give any sort of report, bedside or via telephone. I was shocked. Not surprisingly, the patient...

    The Truth About Nursing

    ThePrincessBride replied to LorieStesk's topic in General Nursing

    Why is money in bold? I do agree with you. Most people don't understand what nurses go through. And how can they? Even nursing students and those who work alongside nurses can't really understand the...

    New Grad...Is this typical?

    ThePrincessBride replied to MeganStar's topic in General Nursing

    Why so hostile? I honestly don't care what you think about BSN-prepared nurses, but realize that stories do not constitute facts. Please link your sources before making unsubstantiated claims....

    New Grad...Is this typical?

    ThePrincessBride replied to MeganStar's topic in General Nursing

    @ Bonnie, So true. I think it is ridiculous for one to make such generalizations when there are so many different diploma, adn and bsn programs of varying quality. The adn program a few miles from my...

    Here we go...bash the BSN new grads post... Ugh. In my supposedly inferior BSN program, I started IVs, inserted a foley, had a decent amount of experience with NG tubes, tube feeds and I even had the...

    Notes in 3rd person style

    I was never taught to chart like that. I either use neutral or "I". I never see a doctor refer to himself or herself as "this doctor. " First person is crystal

    Nurses, how do you view your job?

    Good lord. You aren't doing yourself any favors posting this thread, OP. I am a new grad. Young. I came into nursing for practical reasons...helping people is just a bonus. Yes, nursing is "just a...

    How to leave first job

    ThePrincessBride replied to BusiestBSN's topic in General Nursing

    There is no way you won't end up burning bridges, so you might as well suck it up and be prepared to be blacklisted if you take hospital B's offer. Write a nice resignation letter thanking them for...

    ThePrincessBride replied to tlklvn13's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure if you understand that a CNA is an unlicensed professional, an LPN's scope of practice is different from an RN and an RN's scope of practice is different from a Nurse Practitioner's...

    Do We Need More Nurses?

    ThePrincessBride replied to wanna_be's topic in General Nursing

    Why? I want to become a NICU nurse and NNP. I currently work in med-surg and I feel as though very few of the skills I am learning are even remotely transferable to the newborn ICU. Med-Surg is...

    Overworked?

    ThePrincessBride replied to NightOwlPsyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly I would see if they would take you on PRN. That will at least give you the option of cutting down hours when you need to and it will give you more flexibility in your scheduling. Having to...

    Do We Need More Nurses?

    ThePrincessBride replied to wanna_be's topic in General Nursing

    It is a little late to be asking this question, don't you think? No. America does not need any more nurses amd hasn't for awhile. However, if every state followed Cali's suit and legally mandated...

    How much of a pay cut is worth the name and experience?

    ThePrincessBride replied to mooshgigila's topic in General Nursing

    You also have to take into account benefits. I work for the government and while government jobs are notorious for paying lower, the benefits are usually excellent. I had a job offer an hour from my...

    Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    ThePrincessBride replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
