  1. How come Docs don't have to wear scrubs?

    RN4NICU replied to holdensjane's topic in General Nursing

    Why? Do scrubs repel germs better than business casual and a labcoat? You don't change clothes between patients either way, and most people who wear scrubs wear them in from home, so what's the...

  2. Future NP...to disclose or not??

    RN4NICU replied to NurseCherlove's topic in General Nursing

    I would absolutely mention your future plans. If you do not get the job because of it, it is likely for the best. You do NOT want to work for a manager that does not support your plans to further...

  3. Transition From Lpn To Rn.how Does It Happen?

    RN4NICU replied to henryswife's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't entirely accurate. I don't know anyting about the NCLEX-PN, but the NCLEX-RN is computer adaptive and it does not matter how many questions you answer correctly (actually, by the nature of...

  4. student duties

    RN4NICU replied to Bekster's topic in General Nursing

    It varies greatly school to school. You would have to ask the school you are interested

  5. Are accelerated programs fair?

    RN4NICU replied to caro3334's topic in General Nursing

    including prerequisites, the accelerated program requires a total of 127-129 hours (68-70 hours of prerequisites and 59 hours of the absn program). the traditional bsn program requires 129 hours....

  6. Grammar help, PLEASE!!!!

    RN4NICU replied to Ted1's topic in General Nursing

    Well, since the dictionary recognizes both pronunciations of the word, it would seem to me that those who refuse to accept that either pronunciation is correct are the ones who sound illiterate or...

  7. Less Applicants for Nursing Programs?

    RN4NICU replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I would have to agree. There are plenty of nurses out there already, but many of them have left the bedside do to unacceptable working conditions (I am counting the days until I am one of them). If...

  8. How do you Handle Floating?

    RN4NICU replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    This has been my experience with floating as well, and it is really a horrible situation to be in, since I do not have any experience (aside from floating) in other areas. With the exception of OR...

  9. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    RN4NICU replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just saw this one on another thread: "would of" instead of "would have" or

  10. Less Applicants for Nursing Programs?

    RN4NICU replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I bet qualified MSNs are just beating down the doors for this job (or maybe not, since it was obviously posted prior to

  11. Time to graduate from a part time NP program

    RN4NICU replied to core0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am still in my NP program, and am attending full-time. Full-time, the program takes 5 semesters, or 2 years. My school has 3 part-time options, taking 3, 4, and 5 years, depending on how many...

  12. ALL Nurses should have to be a REAL patient

    RN4NICU replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is completely unnecessary (and a little ridiculous). It goes back to the theory that some schools seem to have that you need to experience something to understand it - and some use that as...

  13. Leaving AMA and insurance threat

    RN4NICU replied to gtmoore's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that it is none of the nurse's business what goes on between the patient, the hospital, and the insurance company. As far as a nurse attempting to coerce a person to stay against his/her will...

  14. Am I Just Bein a Baby or should i quit ???

    RN4NICU replied to traumajunkiegirl's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't put up with that. No employer should expect employees' lives to revolve around

  15. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    RN4NICU replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I do the same thing - I get tired just looking at the big blocks of text and often when I do try to read them, I give up well before the end of the

  16. BSN to DNP with no nursing experience

    RN4NICU replied to evpsych's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Yet, it is not necessarily a nursing assessment, since the objective is to formulate a medical diagnosis. MDs and PAs perform assessments in the form of the history and physical examination. This is...

  17. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    RN4NICU replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    thanks for explaining this further. it never occurred to me that anyone would ever think that i was suggesting that "an" be used before "rn" because it was a title. rather, i was saying that when you...

  18. BSN to DNP with no nursing experience

    RN4NICU replied to evpsych's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    and the MSN/DNP is the entry-level for practice as a nurse practitioner, which is a completely different role than that of the RN, not a progression of the same role. I know it is called "advanced...

  19. Are You Satisfied With Your Income?

    RN4NICU replied to jollyjenny's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, that is one of the downsides of nursing - hourly earnings do NOT go up much at all with experience. Not compared with most other careers, which readily reward education and

  20. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    RN4NICU replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    That reminds me of a non-nursing related one - my sister insists on calling tiramusu "tiaramisu". I tell her that it isn't a crown, it is a dessert, but she goes right on pronouncing it her way. It...

  21. Please allow me some arrogance!

    RN4NICU replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

  22. why do people want to be a nurse

    RN4NICU replied to phillies's topic in General Nursing

  23. why do people want to be a nurse

    RN4NICU replied to phillies's topic in General Nursing

    First off, I'm not a "don't be a nurse" person. I think nursing can be a very good career - as long as you pursue your own interests and take your career in the direction YOU want, not what others...

  24. Depressed, confused, lost, and not sure if i should even be a nurse! :(

    RN4NICU replied to maybaby9's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You will have many more options once you get a year of experience. Here are some thoughts: 1. GET OUT OF MED/SURG - there are many more opportunities inside the hospital than med/surg (which would...

  25. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    RN4NICU replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had to chuckle when I was reading a handout from one of my professors (who holds a PhD) that stated we would "loose points" if the paper was not in proper APA format (which I'm pretty sure includes...
