  1. BSN-To-DNP Fall 2015

    db2xs replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    What is your reason for deciding to pursue a DNP instead of an MSN? I find that most of the BSN nurses I know are only pursuing an MSN, despite the "mandatory" (or "strongly encouraged") DNP by 2015...

  2. Im Pagan and a Hospice Nurse....

    db2xs replied to SaylahStarr's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    No, it would not accept only non-Judeo-Christian patients. But its premise, mission, and values would be centered around different traditions. If a Christian, Catholic, or Jew is okay with that, then...

    db2xs replied to SaylahStarr's topic in Hospice, Palliative

  5. California nurses and medical marijuana

    db2xs replied to DirtyBlackSocks's topic in Pain Management

  8. Can a Nurse have a Tattoo???

    db2xs replied to futurenurse'15's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  9. Leaving 1st job before 1 year

  10. RN with a misdemeanor

    db2xs replied to gamecockgirl2014's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    The safest bet is to get a licensing attorney, as keylimesqueez said. It is really hard to say whether your school will say anything and accept you. Even if they let you in, it is hard to say what the...

  15. Is it hard to get an RN job at Hoag Newport?

    db2xs replied to strawberryfields's topic in California Nursing

    For what it's worth, I found out a classmate of mine called the nursing recruiter at Hoag and got a job without applying for one. Not sure how she did it, but if you've got clinical experience (she is...

  19. Keck Hospital of USC RN Versant Program March 2014

    db2xs replied to otterpopp's topic in Nursing Career

    db2xs replied to CaliRN13's topic in California Nursing

    May I ask what you mean by "delay in the process"? I was told by the nursing recruiter that they were giving the 7th of October start date as an option for those of us who are not close by. I was...
