  1. Are There Differences in Degree Titles?

    RN34TX replied to inforthelonghaul's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If your only goal is to be a CRNA period then I agree with the above replies. But many people choose career paths without thinking about things like getting older and wanting a change and/or moving...

  2. CNA's/PCT's how much do you make?

    RN34TX replied to Karen06's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    But it all depends on what you value. The biggest mistakes people make (especially young 20-somethings) are when they fixate on either their wage, cost of living, or quality of life. All 3 need to be...

  3. Yet more MSN vs. MBA advice needed again

    RN34TX replied to RN34TX's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks again for the advice. This is why I'm seeking advice outside of my own environment as far as colleagues, managers, educators, etc. on campus go. Those who have advanced degrees in nursing all...

  4. Yet more MSN vs. MBA advice needed again

    RN34TX replied to RN34TX's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I get what you are saying and I must be the opposite of what you were going through. The thought of even hearing the term let alone doing yet another project on "evidence based practice" or doing yet...

  5. Yet more MSN vs. MBA advice needed again

    RN34TX replied to RN34TX's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Wow! Thank you all for your recent comments and wisdom on a thread I started last June that sat dead until very recently. Thank you all! I quoted Bryan because of the respect comment. As far as...

  6. Disappointed with AACN's NTI 2010 Washington, DC

    RN34TX posted a topic in Critical Care

    Am I the only one? I went to classes 15-30 minutes early only to find them closed off and full. I also sat in on many classes that didn't tell me any more than I already knew. "Toxic work...

  7. Lawsuit Against The College Network

    RN34TX replied to mdhammons's topic in Online Distance Learning

    OK, the post was offensive indeed and I immediately thought so after looking at it a day or so later. I wanted to edit it but didn't think I could since I let my premium status go and didn't see a...

  8. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    RN34TX replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    You are not "just a poor" anything. You are about to become a true professional that may be used to making "crappy minimum wage" that a potential employer may try to cash in on. You are the future of...

  9. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    RN34TX replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't have to go to school full time and not be able to work full time for 2 years, racking up bills and loans for tuition and books for a fast food job. Fast food workers did not have to make...

  10. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    RN34TX replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    What a great politically correct way to put it. I'm the only one from my family who obtained a bachelor's degree and maybe two of my cousins who went to vocational/tech school after high school. Most...

  11. RN to BSN online

    RN34TX replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Faxing transcripts and getting it in writing as to which courses will be accepted means nothing. Even if this is was honored by the school at that moment, it has nothing to do with what extra...

  12. Why do instructors feel it is necessary to push new grads into a Med/Surg position?

    RN34TX replied to redmykal1524's topic in Nursing Career

    OK I think that to "despise" the attitude I've described is a little harsh for purposes of a healthy discussion. My colleagues and I debate this issue from time to time but no one really gets that...

  13. Why do instructors feel it is necessary to push new grads into a Med/Surg position?

    RN34TX replied to redmykal1524's topic in Nursing Career

    The mentality of new RN's needing X amount of time working on med/surg floors is as old school/white hat nursing as it gets. Just another example of older outdated educators passing on outdated...

  14. RN to BSN online

    RN34TX replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    All schools have the potential to do this to you. It happened to me during my LPN program right before graduation as well as in my BSN program in another state/school system. I used to believe that...

  15. Lawsuit Against The College Network

    RN34TX replied to mdhammons's topic in Online Distance Learning

    OK let's take it down a notch for those who are not familair with the civil litigation process: To sue someone in a situation such as this and retrieve actual money from them, you need their bank...

  16. Lawsuit Against The College Network

    RN34TX replied to mdhammons's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Interesting considering that their study guides are unsecured debt. I wonder why all the people who have walked away from their Visa/AMEX/Mastercard/Discover debts have not had been sued and had their...

  17. Lawsuit Against The College Network

    RN34TX replied to mdhammons's topic in Online Distance Learning

    What you need to keep in mind is this: You do not have to fly to GA to take your boards. You do not have to be physically in the state you are seeking licensure in when taking the NCLEX. You can be at...

  18. LPN vs. LVN Can't we just agree on a name?

    RN34TX replied to 3sodapop's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    OK I appreciate the insight, and agree that the confusion on titles needs to stop wherever you are located, but how did this become a discussion about nursing in Canada? LVN's do not exist in Canada....

  19. Cna challenge lpn boards

    RN34TX replied to marineswife0809's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    California being the only state to offer this option is nothing but pure irony considering that they are the state that started the big stink about people getting their RN degree via Excelsior in the...

  20. Disappointed with AACN's NTI 2010 Washington, DC

    RN34TX replied to RN34TX's topic in Critical Care

    Thanks for giving me an upside to the situation. I'll give your comments some thought. But I wasn't trying to say that I'm such a "solid clinician" that I can't be taught anything new by these...

  21. Disappointed with AACN's NTI 2010 Washington, DC

    RN34TX replied to RN34TX's topic in Critical Care

    I've visited your booth during your first time in Chicago in 2008 and again this year in DC. I skipped New Orleans last year because it's so close and I've been there so many times that it's not much...

  22. Most Economical way to get your Masters?

    RN34TX replied to ILoveCats5's topic in General Students

    I do not know of any LPN to MSN program anywhere. I don't believe that any exist out there because they would be responsible for your RN education. Ther are many RN to MSN programs so I'd say get...

  23. RN to BSN online

    RN34TX replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    so true!! and there are so many rn to bsn programs out there to choose from. there are so many more now than when i got my bsn. i originally applied to ou (oklahoma) to which they had a song and...

  24. Disappointed with AACN's NTI 2010 Washington, DC

    RN34TX replied to RN34TX's topic in Critical Care

    But that's my point. I didn't have to pay for it so I can only imagine how it feels for those who did and feel as I do....if there is anyone else out there who does feel like I do about it. It's just...

  25. Group One background checks in Texas

    RN34TX replied to edgreen's topic in Texas Nursing

    Where in SE TX? I don't know of any hospital in the Houston/Galveston area that is using it. Everyone keeps saying that it is spreading, yet the only real reports of hospitals using Group One seem to...
