2. ADN or BSN?

   kbucksn replied to melmobley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I think alot does depend on what is the better program. Where I live the BSN program has had a 100% first time pass rate on the NCLEX for the last few years and the ADN is in the mid 90's. So I guess...

3. ADN or BSN?

   kbucksn replied to melmobley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Well from my understanding the major difference is hiring purposes. Although the RN licensure is still the same, more and more hospitals are trying to acquire "magnet status" and in order to do that...

5. How do you handle the drug seekers?

   kbucksn replied to itsnowornever's topic in Emergency

   The only thing about that is what if you are making these accusations that "Mom is strung out on drugs" and you are wrong? What if like nursemarion's pt there is a REAL illness and REAL pain going on,...

6. How do you handle the drug seekers?

   kbucksn replied to itsnowornever's topic in Emergency

   I totally agree with what your saying. Things should be taken a step further and other visits checked. Your right if this is the 3rd time this week or they come in a few times a week or whatever for...

   kbucksn replied to itsnowornever's topic in Emergency

   I have to agree with the other comments, pain is pain. I am really glad to hear advice about dealing with pts holistically, I think that is something we all should keep in mind. MissRN2012 you made a...

   kbucksn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I am currently finishing up my prereqs to apply to a BSN program. Thus far I took Biology 2 years ago now, Anatomy Spring semester, and I am registered for Physiology for Fall, what I am wondering is...

9. How hard is sociology ?

   kbucksn replied to gardenfan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Well first of all every class is different, so its kind of hard to compare. Teachers make the class in many ways. For me, I took sociology last semester, I had a really laid back teacher, but she...

    kbucksn replied to StuffofLegend's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First of all you need a ((((((BIG HUG))) :hug: I know your pain , I have actually been going through the same thing. Spring last year I took my anatomy and I am at a smaller school so we do not...

11. Would you be mad if a fellow nursing student did this?

    kbucksn replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I do not get why a certain person on this board sees anything about entitlement?? I am so glad you have a wonderous "protestant work ethic" but not everyone was raised that way. you want to talk...

13. Would you be mad if a fellow nursing student did this?

    kbucksn replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also would like to reiterate that it is one thing to go into a program with the intent of becoming a nurse, probably what those ladies that Streamline2010 was referring to.I can understand having...

    kbucksn replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Streamline 2010....wow I did not mean to trigger someone to be so nasty!! I am so glad that your life was able to go that way to go to college than have kids...well I have been on my own since I was...

15. Would you be mad if a fellow nursing student did this?

    kbucksn replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am sorry to be the bummer but I would be very upset. Maybe it is because of where I live, a very rural area with exactly 2 nursing programs, one of which is over an hour away. The first one accepts...
