    Thank you so much from this "electronically challenged nurse." I appreciate it! Have a good

  2. Reprimanded for giving glucagon?!!!

    OldNurseEducator replied to dblpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree that your post needs the grammar police, but I'm beginning to feel that young people from everwhere see nothing wrong with poor spelling, punctuation, and grammar. It's the way it is now....

  3. Lpn Or Rn?

    OldNurseEducator replied to bdlogo's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't do all this for her. She needs to assume responsibility for her own education at this point. Sounds like she's got a great Mom! I'm really surprised she hasn't posted here herself, as...

  5. An RN with a Bachelors in Biology instead of BSN?

    OldNurseEducator replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on the school. In a BSN curiculum, you have to finish all the pre reqs for the Bachelor of Science as well as Nursing. Research can be a valuable thing to learn. A BSN is a good thing and so...

  6. How the heck was I supposed to answer this interview question?

    OldNurseEducator replied to gigglymo's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed!!!

  7. An RN with a Bachelors in Biology instead of BSN?

    OldNurseEducator replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

    If you really want to go to medical school, skip the time it takes to get a nursing degree, and go right into biology and medicine. Why

  8. An RN with a Bachelors in Biology instead of BSN?

    OldNurseEducator replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

    While what you say has merit, read some posts on here about GPA's and hiring of new grads. Now the hospitals are getting pickier. The BSN doesn't make you any better nurse...agreed. But it also isn't...

    OldNurseEducator replied to Darknights's topic in General Nursing

    OldNurseEducator replied to bearscrubs75's topic in General Nursing

    Will nurses ever take back

  12. Reasonable Nursing School GPA?

    OldNurseEducator replied to bearscrubs75's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, I think hospitals have become pickier with choosing who works at their facility because there are so many new grads to choose from. That will change again when the economy is better,...

  13. Are you insulted????

    OldNurseEducator replied to CNABESS's topic in General Nursing

    Who the heck cares what ANYBODY thinks about your job, your family situation, your fiances, your ethnicity???:?...TOO MUCH DRAMA!!! I have no energy for this kind of situation...who CARES what anyone...

  14. Reasonable Nursing School GPA?

    OldNurseEducator replied to bearscrubs75's topic in General Nursing

    Totally agree..but I think hospials are going a bit far with checking a new grad's GPA. Come

  15. Reasonable Nursing School GPA?

    OldNurseEducator replied to bearscrubs75's topic in General Nursing

    Don't get me wrong...nurses come in "all sizes, shapes, educations, GPAs". I agree with you. Some good, some not so good, some meddle of the road. Like any other

  16. Best ways to prepare re-entering nursing after 3 yr. absence

    OldNurseEducator replied to cmm40's topic in General Nursing

    How about teaching? Do you have a MSN?? Tell the truth about why you haven't been working...you've just put your career on hold due to family concerns. I would understand that. What is the last job...

  17. ANGRY...venting

    OldNurseEducator replied to DizzyLizzyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    None of that was clear on your post. I guess you stay...suck it up...or lose a lot of money. Just cool down....there's probably something better for you out there. Be

    OldNurseEducator replied to DizzyLizzyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Is this common in LTC?? Please...enlighten

  19. ANGRY...venting

    OldNurseEducator replied to DizzyLizzyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would be angry and disappointed, too. The nurse they are giving the position to has a personal hold on the job for whatever reason...we don't know. Keep your head up...be the better person...don't...

  20. CMA looking to become RN, dont know where to begin

    OldNurseEducator replied to Kristalmritt's topic in General Nursing

    There are no RN programs fully on line. Your first nursing program is mostly at the school and you'll have clinicals, too. Good

  21. Order Tech

    OldNurseEducator replied to raskol's topic in General Nursing

    Don't worry about that now! Ask lots of questions and don't think you should always know the answers. Congrats and Good luck on your wonderful new position! Remember the only dumb questions are the...

  22. I hate what's happening to nursing...

    OldNurseEducator replied to nyteshade's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Please don't take a tone with me...I'm with you! But nothing you can say or do will change the fact that your hospital administrators and boards are catering to the customer. It's all about who has...

  23. Reasonable Nursing School GPA?

    OldNurseEducator replied to bearscrubs75's topic in General Nursing

    Just disgusting......really!!!! A 3.75 does not mean "great nurse...or compassionate nurse." It just means they know how to pass multiple choice tests. However, sometimes the GPA and the quality of...

    OldNurseEducator replied to enchantedpixie's topic in Geriatric, LTC
