  2. second degree BSN, ADN or direct entry MSN

    RNlovesherPharmD replied to violin9's topic in General Nursing

    I would look into the rules of your state. In VA I know that if you have a bachelor's degree, and then attend an ADN program--- you are considered to have a BSN (at least that was the rule 4 years ago...

  4. "Thumping" out the door....?

    RNlovesherPharmD replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    I do know what the word facetious means, and how to correctly spell it--thank you. Additionally, the quote button is certainly helpful in replying to certain posts when there are so many responses. I...

    RNlovesherPharmD replied to obtech2nurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

  7. Interview questions for VA RN job?

    RNlovesherPharmD replied to babblingbrook's topic in General Nursing

    RNlovesherPharmD replied to RNlovesherPharmD's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Well, I applied for a job there in March as a VA Employee already--just was called to interview YESTERDAY June 14! I can imagine it would take much longer for a non-VA employee. IDK where you are...

  10. im selfish? hmmm

    RNlovesherPharmD replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    It would be more selfish to care about what other people thought of you so much as to have children without wanting them. Kudos to you. I work labor and delivery, and want to have a child just so I...

  11. Am I waisting my time with associates degree?

    RNlovesherPharmD replied to chall2011's topic in General Nursing

    While there is no pay difference between new grad ADN and BSN, there is little room for advancement with the ADN degree. Also, most every hospital I've applied to in the Northern VA area as well as CO...

    RNlovesherPharmD replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, it shows that you are capable of multitasking

  13. BLS or ACLS new Grad

    RNlovesherPharmD replied to beatrice1's topic in General Nursing

    It was my understanding that you had to have BLS to take ACLS. Regardless, you shouldn't have let you BLS expire--take that first! The others should be on the job training. Although, it wouldn't hurt...

  15. VFib Arrest after heaven discussion

    RNlovesherPharmD replied to curtiv's topic in General Nursing

    Yes calling him would be inappropriate. However, he may contact you in the future--I have had several patients contact me to thank me for "saving" them. That is just part of the nursing territory,...

  17. Are you a sensitive person too?

    RNlovesherPharmD replied to glutton4punishment's topic in General Nursing

    I am the same way--being catty and nasty get you nowhere in life, and I'd rather be known for being nice ten years down the road then be known for other things....keep on smiling, karma is where it's...

  18. Pay difference Denver, CO Springs, Ft. Collins

    RNlovesherPharmD replied to Liz520's topic in Colorado Nursing

    The decrease in pay, from what I've been told is jokingly called the "view tax". The simple fact is, the quality of life and beauty in CO is so nice that people are willing to make a lot less. We are...

    RNlovesherPharmD replied to jam752's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Way to put a damper on this person's aspirations. OP, if nursing is what you want to do--go for it!!! Also, BSN IS the way to go...but several states (Virginia where I am from) have an option that if...

  20. Accelerated BSN - Will it help you get a job?

    RNlovesherPharmD replied to jam752's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    As a recent graduate from a school that offers traditional, accelerated, and 5 semester transfer---there is no difference in getting hired whatsoever. The thing that gets you any kind of advantage is...

    RNlovesherPharmD replied to cas5anova's topic in General Nursing

    They did not watch me, but she did come into the bathroom with me...and poured this green solution in the toilet before I could go. I guess it may turn a different color if synthetic urine gets into...

  22. My first med error... Yikes!

    RNlovesherPharmD replied to RiverNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad it turned out ok for your patient. You didn't give the wrong thing, I think if both fluids are on the same level...they just both infuse quickly if not on pump, or if on pump just the main...

  24. 8 hour days or 12 hours days?

    RNlovesherPharmD replied to 2011nursetobe's topic in General Nursing

    As a new grad, I started on twelve hour shifts and had the same commute you have---and loved it! Then our unit was mandated to have only 8 hour shifts. It is definitely burning me out. I haaaaaaate 8...
