  1. Is there any hope for the BSN who never had experience to get a job?

    Seas replied to Mrs149's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You are an old new grad which I think is one of the unluckiest situations to be in. I think you will have a lesser chance, but it is not impossible. Good

  2. Cardiac, neuro, or renal?

    Seas replied to gabriellegoss's topic in General Students

    Renal is the hardest I think. I don't know what people meant by "impossible". Impossible to do

  3. what specialties do new grads typically start out in?

    Seas replied to mee9mee9's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Med-surge is a great area to start. But if you want to do a highly specialized area like L&D, starting there is good

  4. Bachelors in Accounting to LPN

    Seas replied to KayNP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you want to be a nurse, go for RN, and possibly

  5. Diploma vs Associates degree school?

    Seas replied to gabriellegoss's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    More gen ed classes with diploma. So? Why didn't ADN degree not take more gen ed classes then? Some classes may not transfer with only diploma. Your school may be okay with that, but don't generalize....

  6. Diploma vs Associates degree school?

    Seas replied to gabriellegoss's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Getting associates is a better idea in the long run. First, it is a degree after all that required some other basic classes. Also, it counts much more if you want to go up to higher degrees. With only...

  7. getting a C in 2 pre- reqs for nursing.

    Seas replied to 2016hun's topic in General Students

    I would be worried. Nursing schools are competitive nationwide. My school for one closed at 4.0, 3 years ago. I think B average is a little low for nursing

  8. Is it okay to tell a patient to not disrespect you

    Seas replied to lolakbolak's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It is okay to be firm with the patients and remind them of their respect limits. So yes, definitely

  9. How to protect self from needles?

    Seas replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I am not doing anything specific. I just follow what I learned in school and just be careful. Recapping a used needle is a big no no. And I learned this in first semester of nursing school. Things...

  10. Thoughts on new grad being made charge?

    Seas replied to mwc1230's topic in General Nursing

    A charge nurse is the resource person with their experience and knowledge. I for one wouldn't take a new grad "charge nurse" seriously and wouldn't go to them with an issue. We had new grads doing...

  11. No rapid response for a DNR?

    Seas replied to AlphaPig's topic in General Nursing

    After reading some responses along with the OP, I now see why some people are afraid to choose to be or choose their loved one to be DNR. Because they think DNR means no care, no help in crisis...

  12. No rapid response for a DNR?

    Seas replied to AlphaPig's topic in General Nursing

    DNR comes into scenerio AFTER the patient dies. Previous posters explained this well. Please you all, report this

  13. Why do some nurses use their titles as a big ego boost?

    Seas replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Because they/we work hard for it and are proud to say so. It is perfectly okay to enjoy the title if you have worked your butt off to get it. You may ask her the same questions using just changing the...

  14. What's the biggest mistake you've ever made as a nurse? What did you learn from it?

    Seas replied to Mini-Murse's topic in General Nursing

    I had a patient with prostate issues. I was told by the prior nurse that the patient has the prostate cancer as well. Not as a bedside report! Anyway, when I was giving report to a different nurse at...

  15. Depressed night shift worker

    Seas replied to LithEruiel's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Depending on your unit, you may be able to land a dayshift position soon. In some places, there is a line of people wanting days. But in some of them, it isn't so hard. I don't know if you could be...

  16. Honest question - NOT trying to start a war!

    Seas replied to mc3's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Everybody works under their own license. It is an individual license and titles don't have anything to do with it. However, LPN's work under direct supervision of RN and/or MD. Are you getting these...

  17. Any ADN-BSN programs without ridiculous papers?

    Seas replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The bottom line is, it looks like BSN is just not for you. Keep it at ADN for a

  18. Shocked by facial piercings at work

    Seas replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Long story short, I personally think facial piercings and tattoos are unprofessional and unacceptable in professional look of nurses. None of my coworkers have visible one of those. I am very...

  19. Where is the nursing shortage?

    Seas replied to fbrlauren's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's true. Nursing shortage is for BSN and higher degrees. Great shortage on nursing instructors in nsg schools. People who can't find jobs are usually the ones who don't hold BSN or

  20. Where is the nursing shortage?

    Seas replied to fbrlauren's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Kentucky would be one too. Even though it is not the most attractive

  21. 2.5 gpa hello will i get into nursing school

    Seas replied to shasaynee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think you have any chance in being accepted in any accredited nursing school with 2.5. Sorry. Even people with 4.0 have a lot of challenges, some don't even make it in nursing school. 2.5...

  22. Do you know your (LPNs) scope of practice?

    Seas replied to KRODD's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I bet she wasn't talking subjective (who vs who). She rather goes with the standards and BON. Assessments is not within LPN's scope of practice by most states if not all. However, states don't say how...

  23. What are you good at?

    Seas replied to proudnurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am great with sterile procedures like wound packing, dressing changes, etc. Type, depth, etc don't matter. Bring them on. I will not mess up sterility. My fingers work pretty well on the sterile...

  24. How long did it take you to get into your dream nursing Job?

    Seas replied to nursejess12's topic in General Nursing

    From the time I started applying for my dream job until the time I got an offer, it took me 10 months. I always knew what I wanted to do. But I wanted to gain some med surg experience first. So, I...

  25. Penalized for Improper Outfit. Help!

    Seas replied to Newgraduatenurse2012's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think that is ridiculous that you may not even get a position there for this sweat shirt issue that happened forever ago. Everybody makes mistakes, some may be very embarrassing. But you admitted it...
