  1. Nursing students who do not understand what nursing is about

    TheCareerStudent replied to DNS on the go's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    The only point I want to emphasize is that any leader should know how to do the tasks of those they lead. So as an RN who delegates to LPN's or CNA's, that RN must know how to do their jobs in order...

  7. do employers look down upon those who earned their bsn online?

    TheCareerStudent replied to mee9mee9's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Amen, this poster touched on a good point. Your degree will not say "Online" nor will your transcripts. It is not a question asked in interviews so you should be good. But of course if it is asked, do...

  9. Helping Classmates

    TheCareerStudent replied to nursegc's topic in General Students

    I have been in the same, exact position. When I tried to help out and people still failed, like in your case, I got blamed and bad mouthed. Even worse is when I get the highest average on tests and...

  10. Why are so many nursing related things childish?

    TheCareerStudent replied to DeeAngel's topic in General Nursing

    You should have your manager visit a military base hospital and have him tell some active duty to turn their frowns upside down and then put a little sticker on their uniforms. I would love to be a...

  14. Pregnancy and floor nursing

    TheCareerStudent replied to aerorunner80's topic in General Nursing

    Even though you may think you can trust telling people, I recommend not telling anyone. There is absolutely nothing worse then blind siding your boss. As a manager, I would be pretty upset hearing...

  18. Why do some Medstudents love to belittle nurses?

    TheCareerStudent replied to LPNweezy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am not sure what you military experience is, but a Chief in the Navy is an E-7 and most certainly not an officer. Most of our commanding officers at the squadron level are O-4 or O-5, depending on...

    TheCareerStudent replied to LPNweezy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    TheCareerStudent replied to LPNweezy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    TheCareerStudent replied to b.householder96's topic in General Nursing
