  1. Meet the Fockers

    Ross1 replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't seen the film yet, but I am planning to see it. I do remember from "Meet the Parents" that Ben Stiller's character was very clear and confident about his decision to pursue nursing. As to...

  2. Please tell me what you would do in my situation (Re:LPN to RN program)

    Ross1 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    A friend of mind is doing the EC program and has found it to be quite challenging and commented that she has learned a lot. My chief reservation about it is the CA thing, which I only recently...

  3. Men in Nursing

    Ross1 replied to NeuroNP's topic in Men in Nursing

    Overall this has been a really insightful, intelligent, and sensitive conversation. I'm really impressed with the many comments submitted by the male nurses in this forum. I am, however, rather...

  4. College degrees in addition to Nrsg?

    Ross1 replied to Midwest4me's topic in General Nursing

    A friend of mine is an LPN from 20+ years ago and she is now working towards her ADN at Excelsior (is that the former Regents?). To my knowledge is not having to repeat Chem, A&P etc. Also, at...

  5. Just when you think you've heard it all......

    Ross1 replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    A great resource to obtain information about the licensing laws in your state is to contact your local Area Agency on Aging. Every county in the US has one. Sometimes they go by the title Area...

  6. Student Loan Debt

    Ross1 replied to Sweetpea00's topic in General Nursing

    That may be true, but these people who are being trained as social workers are NOT professional social workers, they are paraprofessionals. None of these so called "social workers" could ever join...

  7. Student Loan Debt

    Ross1 replied to Sweetpea00's topic in General Nursing

    LPNtoRN: I'm wondering where you got the idea that the original poster is a social worker. S/he has a B.S. in psychology. FYI, psychology and social work are two separate fields. To be a social...

  8. Student Loan Debt

    Ross1 replied to Sweetpea00's topic in General Nursing

    Two things to think about: 1) Do you meet all the necessary pre-requisites to start a one year accelerated BSN program? If so, you will be able to get out into the real world of work and start...

  10. coming out

    Ross1 replied to newborn 5555's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I second what was posted above by "merricat." It is extremely frustrating to hear people make comments like "it is no ones business" or "people's sexuality".......... I would like to know why it is...

  12. A & P 2 and Nursing I together, I am that CRAZY???

    Ross1 replied to dream8's topic in General Nursing

    There is no right or wrong answer here. It really depends on your own individual situation. I am currently taking Nursing 1, Pharmacology, and A&P 1. Is this demanding? Yes Would it have been...

  14. Truth about Nursing diagnosis

    Ross1 replied to UTRN2005's topic in General Nursing

    All really great points here and I'll admit, when I first read magicman's posting, I had not looked at his username but I just assumed that it was written by a male. Of course we are making...

  15. smoking in hospice?

    Ross1 replied to petra's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    When I worked in a nursing home a long time ago (92-93), we had a few residents who were smokers and since it is their home, they had a right to smoke. The appropriate compromise to guarantee both...

  16. Help required on stubborn patients

    Ross1 replied to Rainclouds's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to the forums. I have the utmost respect for OTs and wish that the utilization of OT services in health care settings was higher. You are creative problem solvers with a strong grounding in...

  17. Sexual relationships with patients

    Ross1 replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

    Important things for consideration: Since I am a first semester student nurse, I am not yet fully familiar with all of the ethical and legal guidelines of nursing practice. So to answer the original...

  18. Husband wants to be a nurse????

    Ross1 replied to harley_fan's topic in General Nursing

    Will the ADN be your husband's first degree or is he combining it with another degree. An ADN combined with a B.S. in Business Administration (or Public Health or Health Care Administration) could be...

  19. Husband wants to be a nurse????

    Ross1 replied to harley_fan's topic in General Nursing

    I'm wondering why you say it would take your husband 3 years to become an RN. If he has the required pre-reqs from his first Bachelor's degree, he may be able to do an accelerated second degree BSN...

  20. RN vs. Psychologist

    Ross1 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    LPN to RN: Pomfrey was in no way being derogatory. S/he was responding directly to your comment, "People who can't get accepted anywhere else, maybe that is why they choose psychology." In fact,...

  21. Is this a joke? Please give your opinions...

    Ross1 replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    You seem to not understand the nature of taxation. If the $2000 is a sign-on bonus, it is considered income. It is reported as income and taxed as income. Receiving about $1300 net is about what...

  22. Studies raise questions on value of intensive care

    Ross1 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is a very important discussion with very valid points raised. My two cents would be that it is not the opinion of RN or MD regarding whether or not this patient should be resuscitated. It is...

  24. RN vs. Psychologist

    Ross1 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I too was a bit concerned about that quote, "That they make good money, sit on their butts all day, get long breaks and have an easy cirriculum might not be realistic" You know, that is really...

  25. RN vs. Psychologist

    Ross1 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    A word of clarification. To become a licensed psychologist one must have a doctorate degree (either PhD or PsyD). Comparing a licensed psychologist to an RN is like comparing apples to oranges....
