I just wanted to know what everyone thinks of the direct entry MSN programs out there? Is it really a good idea to get a masters degree without having any prior nursing experience? I know a lot of hospitals out there say BSN required so where does th...

I have a interview for a school nurse position next month. I have worked on a Med-Surg floor for 2 years and have never worked with the pediatric population. I have been interested in being a school nurse since graduation but this is the first opport...

April 8th

Thanks everyone for your replies! I really want to do well on this interview and all of you have given me some great ideas of areas to review. I am so excited about the interview and the possibility of becoming a school nurse.

Hello everyone. I am a nursing student and I graduate in Dec and I already have a nursing job on the unit I currently work on. I am really excited to have this opportunity but there is just one thing, I just found out I'm pregnant. I am happy about b...

Thanks everyone! I didn't expect different treatment , I was just looking for advice on any experiences on how a pregnant nurse handled their patient load and work shifts and how difficult it was for them to adjust. I fully expect to be treated the s...

I am extremely happy to report that I have been offered a job as a nurse graduate on the unit that I love. Its so exciting because I don't even graduate nursing school until December and already I don't have to worry about searching for a job! To top...

I have a question for any any of the nurses who may be reading this post. First of all let me begin by telling everyone that I live in a major city with a very racially diverse population. Most of the hospitals in my area have a nursing population t...

I didn't tell my friend anything, she called me with concerns about this issue. Just about everyone in this city notices the exact thing about this facility. I am not racist just because I prefer to work in a diverse work environment with people from...

Obviously there is just gonna be a difference of opinion here. YES, I very much love working at my current job that encourages diversity among staff and some people do not care because it does not directly affect them. Oh well, it is what it is..enou...

Sooo basically just ignore it because I do not work there anymore..gotcha...that makes a whole lot of sense..why didn't I just think of that. If people ignored everything that didn't directly affect them there would never be any change or progress t...

It bothers me because it makes me wonder why are they the ONLY hospital in the area that is like this. As far as focusing on the racial makeup of the staff is concerned, I would like to know that the employer that I work for would encourage racial di...

worried is probably the wrong word to use.. i should have said uncomfortable because the hospital may not encourage racial diversity and really there is no need for you to be sarcastic.

OP your attitude sucks and you really need to get over yourself. You and other nurses from your country are not recruited to work in the US because of your bachelors degree or because you are somehow superior to American nurses, you are brought here ...

I had a discussion with a nurse that works on my floor about what makes people get into nursing in the first place. She made a comment that she is tired of people getting into nursing for the money and she disagreed with my response to her comment. I...

My whole point is that I don't think other people should tell anybody why they should or shouldn't pursue a career in nursing. If they are motivated by money, so be it. Just because money motivates them doesn't mean that they are not compassionate, ...

Agreed! I will be the first person to say that those professions are severly underpaid for what they do. The previous post did not mention those professions they mentioned someone with a degree in business that's why I responded with that post.

I get what your saying, but since you are in a profession where someone's life is literally in your hands shouldn't you get paid more regardless of what degree you have?

I believe that regardless if it is an ADN program or a BSN program, that there are way too many nursing schools and new nurses graduating every few months. Even if every hospital were to only hire BSN nurses there would still be an over abundance of ...

I do not know if this is the right place to ask about this but I will try anyway. A classmate of my 4 year old daughter and her mother were murdered. It is such a sad situation and just thinking about it makes me wanna cry. Everytime the news comes o...

Thanks everyone for all of your responses.

The title says it all! Everyone in my nursing program hates med surg and are hoping to have more option besides med surg when school is over. I extern on a med surg floor and most of the new nurses tell me that they only work med surg because they we...

I read the posts on this site often and I always seem to see threads related to nurses not being able to obtain jobs. My question is whether or not nurses are the only major HEALTH profession facing this issue. The reason why I asked is because I hav...

Idk if making it mandatory to get a BSN will solve this issue either. I read on an article linked to this site that in the past 10 years the number of nurses who graduated with BSN's has doubled. Also, I believe that making a BSN mandatory will only...
