  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...

  16. Do I attend LVN school or Surg Tech school?

    UCLARN replied to hiotw75's topic in Nursing Career

    You're also forgetting that in order to accept students, they have to have enough nursing instructors/professors. Universities/Colleges also need to stop cutting out their nursing programs as they...

  17. Survey: Should nurses from other countries be recruited to aid in the nursing shortag

    UCLARN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    it's hard to get inactive nurses to coming back. they left because i assume conditions sucked. as for disabled nurses, depending of course on severity, yes they should recruit them, but not as staff...

  18. Survey: Should nurses from other countries be recruited to aid in the nursing shortag

    UCLARN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    what a bogus percentage. Don't you think you are grossly exagerrating. Now as an RN, don't you have the ability to write them up (incident report) if you see

  19. Just a note on the NP vs PA debate...

    UCLARN replied to TMnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Are you sure you were in an NP program. Come to ours, they'll have you working hard. We didn't write papers about Calista Roy or other nursing theorists. You sound very frustrated and bitter, maybe...

  20. Are you ashamed of being a nurse?

    UCLARN replied to Mijourney's topic in Nursing Career

    Not all nurses are like that, by the way. It really isn't fair to generalize a whole group. If you are a student, then it's not too late. Find a profession that you can say you are proud of and proud...

  21. Are you ashamed of being a nurse?

    UCLARN replied to Mijourney's topic in Nursing Career

    Well if that's the way you feel, then go back to school and become a teacher. Oh and YES of course I am very proud to say that I am a

  22. ADN NP's...?

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

    I really think that is sad AND scary!!! Here in California, starting 2008, NP's must graduate from a master's program or have a master's degree already when doing their post master's NP certificate....

  23. What are the BEST and WORST States to practice as an NP?

    UCLARN replied to Roland's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    After January 1st 2008, NP's in California MUST have a masters. To be certified nationally you must always have a master's degree... no matter what state you are in....

  24. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

    UCLARN replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    WHen the original poster wrote this, I don't think it was his intention to ask about each and every clients schooling level. When he said "education level" I think he meant that to mean health...

  25. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

    UCLARN replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    You probably did have that in your diploma program. Since the diploma program is 3 years in length, I'd like to assume that they didn't go into extreme detail. Each of those courses listed are one...
