   Paramedicated replied to FutureNurse2006's topic in General Nursing

   If you have to ask yourself if you should be nurse or a letter carrier, especialy if it is a money thing, GO please and Bring the mail. Medicine is not something we do because it pays good. We do this Job because sick an injured people need us. We...

   Paramedicated replied to Deb123j's topic in General Nursing

   Most of you may think I am unkind or harsh, but I satnd by what i said. If he isn't responsable enough for you to leave him home alone for a few hours without a phone call, than he should still have a sitter. If you do not feel you can trust him to...

5. What do you love about our job, what do you not love about your job?

   Paramedicated replied to SoulShine75's topic in General Nursing

   I love the intoxicating effect of making a "good save". Someone who otherwise would not see tommarrow if we had not been there to help them. I hate death, flat out no questions asked, I despise entrophy.

7. Design the Ideal Nurse

   Paramedicated replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you, Leslie ( I hope I may call you by your first name). I guess in the ideal world we would not have a shortage to begin with. I believe you have the right idea, teach more leadership. Setting everyone on the even ground. Perhaps a nationaly ...

8. Design the Ideal Nurse

   Paramedicated replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

   2rnitsh I think you may have hinted at an answer to my question. Does a BSN prepare an RN for mamagement roles? Is that the justification for a 4 year degree?

9. Design the Ideal Nurse

   Paramedicated replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

   If your intent is to design an Ideal entry level nurse why can you not even back up your point. I want to know what a BSN has over a ASN. In a nursing shortage I would think we would want nurses who are capable to be out there doing the JOB. Also ...

10. Design the Ideal Nurse

    Paramedicated replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    All I am asking for is a Justification, from anyone, as to why a BSN is "ideal" over an ASN. And yes, Practicing Medicine is exactly what I ment. We exist for the Patient, first and always before ourselves be it a nurse, Doctor, Medic, or even the g...

12. Design the Ideal Nurse

    Paramedicated replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    What makes you think a BSN can do a better job than ASN?!?!?!? You may say they are unprepared but I say they are hard chargers who put forth monumental effort to learn in two years what takes other 4. BSN started IVs in year 3 when My wife was start...

14. What can MSNs do that BSNs can't do?

    Paramedicated replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry I didn't clarify. A student will enter the RN program. The entire program has time built in for gaining experience as a CNA, LPN. All to often I have seen young and fresh nurses full of spirit become burnt out and overwhelmed because they...

    Paramedicated replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    3 teared system. You must become a CNA first, serve your time learn the basics and when you are ready move on to LPN to learn more and practice more and get paid more. Than you can be recommended for the remainder of the RN program. Once complete, a...
