  1. Patients Treat Nurses Like Garbage!

    scooterRN52 replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

    We have monthly scores on satisfaction of pt's. I am really fed up about it! Is this a profession or are we sales people? Everything seems to be all about customer service, now the public is trying to...

  4. Why are nurses so angry?

    scooterRN52 replied to cmo421's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have to agree with you, employers are more worried about making money,than worrying about staff. It is more like customer service, even in the hospital where Iwork. They now want to let families...

  5. Mature Nurses over 50

    scooterRN52 replied to Su360's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I did not become an RN until I was 41 so age is only a number to me. I have a large mortgage too, so I'll be working for a while

    Ditto!!

  9. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    scooterRN52 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    CindieRN, my rationale for getting a BSN is to work in another capacity. Don't BSN's come out of school at entry level, and obtain the same license as an ADN? Don't BSN prepared nurses and ADN...

  10. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    scooterRN52 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I believe I got a 10,000.00 15000.00 dollar raise when I went from LPN to RN that so long ago I don't remember

  11. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    scooterRN52 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I know more education doesn't equal more pay, I have an ADN + 1 year of LPN school and I make close to 6 figures, I am looking into an accelarated BSN program so I can work longer in a different...

  12. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    scooterRN52 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree A BSN are mostly fluff classes and doesn't really teach anything about pt. care. It also allows you to work in another capacity which most nurses don't want to do until they are

    scooterRN52 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Mabybe I should be a little clearer, pathophysiology and phamacology are both on the floor, that is critical

  15. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    scooterRN52 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I carry the same license as you, so there is no difference between the two except a BSN has 2more years of school, I went a year to LPN school before I went for an ADN. Should I make more money when I...

  16. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    scooterRN52 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What will be done with all the diploma and ADN nurses out there? Will they be thrown to the wolves? They should be grandfatherd

  17. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    scooterRN52 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Sorry I beg to differ on that note. The problem with most BSN's graduating is that they lack the neccessary training needed to work on the floor and don't know how to take care of patients. I had a...

  18. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    scooterRN52 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    We all take the same board of nursing exam and our license reads professional nurse so I think we are all the same. BSN and ADN. Actually I took boards 18 years ago that lasted 2 days and not 75-100...

  20. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    scooterRN52 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree with you. I am an ADN and I wear several hats and do everything a BSN does and sometimes more. I think nurses who want to work the floor as I call it or clinical do not need more than 2...

    scooterRN52 replied to Su360's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Good Luck Treasure 30, It is a good idea to get your BSN and MSN. I wish I had, I started nusing in 1988, I have an ADN and wish I had more, so I could teach now. I am 57 and going to be 58 in...

  22. I'm scared!

    scooterRN52 replied to lj118004a's topic in General Nursing

    You will be fine, always pay attention to change in pt. status and always notify MD if pt turns for the worse. I was an LPN for 2 years before I was an RN. Don't forget to listen to LPN and Check on...
