I know of one in Minnesota when I lived there. A college student in her mid-20's answered and ad for a nanny on Craigslist. It listed a phone #,etc and when she called she spoke to a woman claiming to be the mother and invited her to the home for an ...

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 you just have to research it.

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 their RN's must be Bachelors prepared RN's. One thi...

Wow!!

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, now we have just introduced a whole bunch of stre...

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 the last few months, etc than RED FLAG. But, i stil...

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 good point that if they are "frequent flyers" or m...

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 if I would benefit from any sort of order in these...

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 taught us so much. it has been one of my favorite clas...

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 have many instructors. I had heard about 2 instructo...

I have a bit of a dilemma in my mind right now. I am currently in my 2nd semester of prereqs required to apply for the ADN program, a little background first...I am 32 years old, was a very young Mom (16 yo) and married young and raised 4 kids. My ol...

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 judgmental?? i think you should look in the mirror. a q...

Hey there, welcome to allnurses...I am now in my 3rd semester, i am done with all my nursing program prereqs accept for physiology which i take in the fall, chemistry which i cannot take until i get through a math 1010 class in the fall,and statistic...

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 the intent and then working or having a family or wh...

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 years old, my guardian died... I had my oldest d...

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 20 students per year the other accepts 30. We do ...

I have several tattoos and used to have several piercings as well. When I worked int he hospitals they were VERY strict about covering up, I worked registry and EVERY hospital was that way. Fortunately my tats weren'y visible but I did have an eyebro...

I am hoping for some advice here. I have signed up for physiology for fall, now i have had a few people tell me that since i have never had a chemistry class, i shouldnt take it yet. I have taken biology and anatomy thus far. I am not quite to colleg...

It is definately possible. I live in Utah and that is an option here after your 2nd semester of the ADN program. Actually you take a bridge class which prepares you for the LVN/LPN boards. Now I dont know your state specifics but it is done. I would ...

First of all I must say this was beautifully written, so much dignity in your words. As PP have said, you DID NOT fail your Pt. As a medical professional you have only so much control, you take control of what you can and handle the rest with as much...

It is really funny to me as to people not wanting to have their nurse on MMT...i can think of many other meds that have a big ole label on the bottle that says may cause impairment blah blah blah....what about a diabetic, maybe their BS gets to high,...

Personally I think your advisor is on crack for telling you this!! What awful advice. I am in anatomy currently along w math and psych and it is intense!! You really need the anatomy to understand the physio. do not take them together...its suicide!!...

For the most part you cannot challenge the test, in califrnia you used to be able to ONLY if you have been working as a CNA for 5 yrs consistently that is verifiable. as far as the 13 credits in summer, that is suicide, especially if they are math o...

I totally feel your pain, just took my first exams in anatomy lecture and lab... i got a 90 in lab but a freAKING 77 in lecture!! im sick I am going through the same emotions, people tell me oh many people have to retake the class, but that wont ge...

Congrats on the A!!! I just took my first lecture test, awaiting the results probably Monday Be proud of yourself and all of your hardwork!!
