  1. ADN to BSN credit by exam instead of papers?

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

    You're right, people hate writing papers. That's why universities have introduced non-thesis PhD programs. I never wrote long, useless papers for my 1st Bachelor's degree. Nursing programs need to...

    adnrnstudent replied to SkiMama's topic in General Nursing

  4. Where is the best place to buy scrubs, shoes, and gear?

    adnrnstudent replied to astanley129's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  6. Why can't I do everything a RN does as a LPN? We should be equal.

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

    Pretty soon, M.A.'s will be able to legally do what R.N.'s do if people don't quit trying to make nursing more than it is. The academia school teacher PhD nurses are killing the profession while in...

  8. WHY do I need a BSN?

    adnrnstudent replied to AnnMarie52471's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Let's add to that, should a BSN from a private school be frustrated that they payed 50k+ for their education compared to a BSN from a state school that paid 25k and don't make anymore? But to address...

  13. WHY do I need a BSN?

    adnrnstudent replied to AnnMarie52471's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If on your rubric, let's say APA is worth 2 points. How do you personally deduct points for APA mistakes? Probably different than the next person. What 1 professor will take a 1/4 point for, the next...

  14. WHY do I need a BSN?

    adnrnstudent replied to AnnMarie52471's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It's not they find more education offensive. You're not seeing the whole story. The number 1 thing I hear from ADN's in a BSN program is how much bull goes into writing paper after paper. The number 1...

  16. End result efficacy P.O. vs I.M. PRNs like Haldol / Ativan

    adnrnstudent posted a topic in Psychiatric

    I understand that an IM injection of Haldol may have a quicker onset. If a patient requests a PRN for say low-voices and they are not acting out, I encourage them to take PO over IM. A 5mg Haldol PO...

  22. Frustrated with RN-BSN classes

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

    adnrnstudent replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    The only people that should get sued are anyone involved with Magnet. Since the ANA is still claiming a nationwide shortage of nursing, maybe they should get behind the majority of nurses who are ADN...
