  1. BSN or RN

    Horseshoe replied to mdavis2018's topic in General Students

    True.

  2. Memphis RN wears violently racist t-shirt to polling place when voting on Tuesday

    Horseshoe replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    I most certainly object to "cop killer music." No hypocrisy at all. WTH does this have to do with politics? Any decent human being should be highly offended at a t-shirt inferring that blacks should...

  3. Urgent question

    Horseshoe replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    No it's

  4. Memphis RN wears violently racist t-shirt to polling place when voting on Tuesday

    Horseshoe replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    Agree, and I have to wonder about the people who are attempting to create an equivalency here between those two

  5. LPN vs. RN

    Horseshoe replied to Nera_Moo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't imagine why someone with a Masters degree would go for the LPN rather than a BSN. Don't you have tons of credits that would apply to the

  6. MMR Immunity (or not)

    Horseshoe replied to bitter_betsy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, why do you suppose they require you to get the titer? Most likely it's because they want you to have immunity so that you neither get sick nor spread it to their vulnerable patients. I'd get the...

  7. Do nursing schools that don't require pre-requisites exist?

    Horseshoe replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What is the basis for this statement? Second career, second degree, non "traditional" students proliferate in nursing programs, even BSN

  8. Any RNs considering medical school?

    Horseshoe replied to Jstimmm's topic in General Students

    Thinking you can diagnose people just by looking at them won't go over well with Med School instructors, either. I'd keep that little gem to myself, even when (or especially when) amongst medical...

  9. BSN or RN

    Horseshoe replied to mdavis2018's topic in General Students

    It depends upon the geographical area. In some places, they are requiring the BSN or proof that you are in the process of getting one. In other places, it's a non issue. Research job postings in your...

  10. How many times did it take to pass the state test

    Horseshoe replied to mdavis2018's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You are attending a really crappy school if "most" people don't pass NCLEX the first

  11. friendly advise

    Horseshoe replied to mdavis2018's topic in General Students

    She isn't in nursing school yet and she already has patients? Of small stature? :) If she isn't cut out for nursing, I'm sure she will find that out soon enough, without your

  12. Urgent question

    Horseshoe replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    I would be turning in my resignation the minute my manager arrived. They could have called an

  13. Is this fair move for my immediate supervisor to report me as noncompliant?

    Horseshoe replied to dehlnmaria's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, if you get children in your PACU, it seems absolutely that PALS certification SHOULD be a requirement. I imagine that requirement is standard across all PACUs that treat children. Perhaps your...

  14. Is this fair move for my immediate supervisor to report me as noncompliant?

    Horseshoe replied to dehlnmaria's topic in General Nursing

    Do you ever take children in your

  15. Memphis RN wears violently racist t-shirt to polling place when voting on Tuesday

    Horseshoe replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    The nurse works in Tennessee, but lives and votes in Mississippi. As the photo spread, people began identifying the man as Clayton John Hickey, a registered nurse who works at a hospital in Memphis...

  16. Memphis RN wears violently racist t-shirt to polling place when voting on Tuesday

    Horseshoe replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    BALONEY. You don't have to qualify as perfect to object to overt racism. No one is expecting this guy to be perfect, either. There is a WHOLE lot of ground between perfect and RACIST. His "freedom of...

  17. If the government legalizes marijuana in the US...

    Horseshoe replied to GlenwoodUSN's topic in General Nursing

    Even if BONs decide to make pot use a non-issue, that doesn't mean facilities won't continue to test for it and pass on people who test positive. We've seen the same thing happen with nicotine. It's...

  18. Is nursing school REALLY that hard?

    Horseshoe replied to Courtney M's topic in General Students

    This question is not really answer-able. You might have thought it was not hard, but there have been PLENTY of threads started on AN by posters who think nursing school is very hard indeed. The answer...

  19. Nursing specialties for the moms out there.

    Horseshoe replied to Kiwi5133's topic in General Nursing

    You're the "Director of Nursing," but you're the only nurse? How

    The article says the hospital fired

  21. Nurse Imposters

    Horseshoe replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, not buying that. Before I went to nursing school, I didn't know "nurse" was a legally protected term. At the same time, however, I knew that since I'd never gone to nursing school, I wasn't a...

  22. Nurse Imposters

    Horseshoe replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    If, in the act of doing her job (for which she gets paid), she calls herself a nurse, she is misrepresenting herself for financial

  23. Hospital or privet practice

    Horseshoe replied to mdavis2018's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a "private practice" OR. What I mean by that is that it is an OR for elective plastic surgery, in the professional building of a hospital, but not an official entity of the hospital. I work...

  24. Least "demanding" nursing Jobs?

    Horseshoe replied to carti's topic in General Students

    Beware getting the idea that clinical experiences give you an accurate idea of what it's like to be a nurse with a full load. And all of this depends on staffing and nurse to patient ratios. No...

  25. Nurse Imposters

    Horseshoe replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    If the term "nurse" is legally protected in your state, THAT's how it's illegal. As said already, whether or not the law is enforced is another question. But it doesn't make that any less illegal. In...
