1. ADN NP's...?

   UCLARN replied to Dave ARNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I guess some people think that you need years and years of experience before even attempting to pursue a nurse practitioner program. I on the other think that while it may be helpful, I don't think...

3. Racial discrimination in Nursing....

   UCLARN replied to Barbie38's topic in General Nursing

   They probably started yelling back at you because no one wants to be "SCOLDED!" Try talking to them in a normal, adult like voice. It's much more mature and

4. Have you ever given the 'Nurse Dose'???

   UCLARN replied to Dinith88's topic in General Nursing

   When I worked as a staff nurse, that would be a big NO! I have NEVER heard of a "nurse dose." Maybe because I worked in peds. Either way, don't you think it's a tad unethical and not to mention...

5. My boss is out of control!

   UCLARN replied to Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker's topic in General Nursing

   You need to find another job. Goodness... tell her to get a

6. BSN requirement for all RNs

   UCLARN replied to cindylousmith's topic in General Nursing

   Your BSN program sounds great. May I ask which university you attended? Were prereqs integrated throughout the curriculum? Wish we had programs like that here in California, unless they already do...

7. BSN requirement for all RNs

   UCLARN replied to cindylousmith's topic in General Nursing

   If you think that the 2 extra years in the BSN program are filled with such things like music appreciation, then you must not have your BSN. At the top of my head classes that were required in the BSN...

8. BSN requirement for all RNs

   UCLARN replied to cindylousmith's topic in General Nursing

   Idealistically, yes. But until we have enough nursing professors and universities willing to keep their BSN programs open, it is not going to happen any time soon

9. LPN/RN the big picture???

   UCLARN replied to Maggie in NC's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   Unfortunately ADN programs have too many applicants than it can handle. So with that said, if you feel that going the LPN to RN route fits your life, I say you should do it. Plenty of people have done...

10. ADN NP's...?

    UCLARN replied to Dave ARNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I definitely agree that a master's should be the minimum for nurse practitioners. Patients deserve the best and having a higher education is crucial. I do have to disagree with you though on the...

11. What would you do in my situation...?

    UCLARN replied to Nurse Ratchet's topic in General Nursing

    I went to a prestigious university (UCLA) for my master's and loved every minute of it. I don't need to explain further because the name speaks for itself. For my undergrad degree, I went to a...

12. "How old are you?"

    UCLARN replied to jaimealmostRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I started working as an RN, I was 23 years old. Patients and their families would and still ask me if I am the student nurse and I politely say no I am your RN. One incident that I thought was...

13. What is the Phillipine 'secret'?

    UCLARN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In order to do so, we need more graduate level prepared nurses to teach them. How can you admit a lot of students if there is NO one to teach

14. I Don't Think So!

    UCLARN replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    You can't lose your nursing license on a no call, no show. You haven't accepted the assignment yet ...because you haven't had report, so it's not abandonment. Good luck in finding a better job!...

15. still wanting to be a nurse after failing twice in an RN program

    UCLARN replied to Purple Princess's topic in Nursing Career

    No my dear you are completely wrong when you say that the RN program only consists of 9 months of nsg courses while the LVN program has 12. It doesn't make sense. The California ADN program is 2 years...
