  1. Homeless working the system, multiple admissions

    adnrnstudent replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Psychiatric

    See many of my pts prefer to be in hospital to nursing home or group home so they get themselves kicked out of so may places and no one will accept them back, but they are little angels in the...

  2. Homeless working the system, multiple admissions

    Nah, just working the broken

  3. Homeless working the system, multiple admissions

    adnrnstudent replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Psychiatric

    Are you kidding? They leave 1 hospital and march right to another within hours. They are working the system and living like kings! I don't even understand how hospitals are getting paid for this. I...

  4. Other than BSN

    adnrnstudent replied to JenKnowles's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I will never understand how people associate certain aspects of school with ability. I know C students that passed the NCLEX in 75 and their straight A classmates took over 200 or even failed. Grades...

  5. Other than BSN

    adnrnstudent replied to JenKnowles's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Only thing I ever cheated on was fluff paper writing. I'm a REAL GOOD person to have nearby when you have to call a code

  6. Other than BSN

    adnrnstudent replied to JenKnowles's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The ability to write papers, which I openly admit I lack, has absolutely ZERO to do with my ability to be a good nurse. I am confident a poll of my coworkers would indicate that I am one of the people...

  7. I am fed up with PCT position...

    adnrnstudent replied to brittany1111's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I worked as PCT through nursing school, not for the money, but just to help with job. I promised myself I would always be good to techs when I became a RN and I think I've held pretty good to my word....

  8. Other than BSN

    adnrnstudent replied to JenKnowles's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't write papers. Do like me and hire someone. I don't feel an ounce of guilt. If schools would come up with useful classes without all the mindless papers, I would have gladly went that

  9. Can You get a ASN if you have a B.A. in another field

    adnrnstudent replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Not exactly true in non-magnet hospitals. I'm ADN with BS in another field and MBA. I'm up for nursing supervisor position right now because of my management

  11. BSN burn out..continuing education

    adnrnstudent replied to jbeans30Rn's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    ADN-BSN education in need of a real overhaul. Writing paper after paper is for Journalism majors. The Facebook posts of my classmates that have moved on to completion programs are hilarious about how...

  12. What would you change about your scrubs??

    adnrnstudent replied to jessk2323's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Fix it so everything doesn't fall out of my pockets when I sit

  13. BSN backfire at non-magnet hospitals, higher turnover (This is rich!)

    adnrnstudent posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    A few weeks ago I saw a couple of posts by Suburbsgirl that made 100% sense to me. I'll post them here and link to thread. I too work at a non-magnet hospital that is a good hospital, but no one's...

  14. Name one of your favorite things about being a male nurse.

    adnrnstudent replied to DatMurse's topic in Men in Nursing

    I love the constant sexual harassment. And there is ZERO sarcasm in my statement, I LOVE

  15. Would you get low census in scenario?

    adnrnstudent posted a topic in General Nursing

    Want to ask everyone about a scenario. Follow what I'm saying. You are regularly scheduled to work three 12's on Sunday, Monday , and Thursday. You are called on Wednesday and asked to work, you...

  16. Tuition cost

    adnrnstudent replied to hs4lisha's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'd look at getting into a public school. $84,000 is a lot, especially at 40 years

  17. Nurses Med error..How can we help?

    adnrnstudent replied to McLewis83's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I can't get past "An additional dose of calcium." How big was the dose? Sounds like this patient should avoid all dairy at all

  18. Do you think ADN programs will really be phased out?

    adnrnstudent replied to Nursetobe25's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    We do? Where

  19. Starting all over again?

    adnrnstudent replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Seems pretty elevated to me. Nurses Once Again Top Gallup's Annual Survey of Most Trusted Professionals on ADVANCE for

  20. Starting all over again?

    adnrnstudent replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Here at the ANA and ANCC, we could care less about how we are aiding at trashing the careers of great nurses. We are mostly interested in today's nurses being able to write silly papers and learn to...

  21. Still don't get the BSN ADN thing...

    adnrnstudent replied to tarotale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    And there is no legitimate study that shows it does. Just because someone puts out a study doesn't mean it's actually

  22. ADN Nurses Being Forced to go Back to School?

    adnrnstudent replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    There are 2 issues I have, and I'm well on record spewing this out on other posts. There was a day when the smart thing to do was get a ADN then a B.S. in something else like management and then if...

  23. cost of ICU per day

    adnrnstudent replied to jonakuntz's topic in Patient Education

    The "charge" and the Negotiated Fee for Service with the insurance company are 2 very different rates. Friend of mine spent 10 days in ICU. The charge was 26k, what they got was 10k. That was 12 years...

  24. Critique of Nursing School

    adnrnstudent replied to NormaSaline's topic in General Students

    But your MSN instructors sure can write a mean paper in APA format. Nursing education (both ADN-BSN and MSN) needs to be revamped to EXCLUDE mindless paper

  25. BS or BSN

    adnrnstudent replied to antonya23's topic in Excelsior College

    If it's a B.S. with major in Nursing you're okay. Purdue University is (or at least was in past) the same way. They don't have a BSN, they have a B.S. with major in nursing and it's
