1. MSN accreditation help

   danny_RN posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

   I wonder if anyone can give me some good advice about MSN program accreditation. I am currently attending an online MSN program that is not CCNE or NLNAC accredited. When I started the program, I...

2. Nurse managers-Do you think tattoos look professional?

   danny_RN replied to Blackcat99's topic in Nurse Management

   Haha. I disagree. I am an RN, and have travelled in over 100 hospital ER's and I have a TON of tattoos. I am very professional and work extremely hard. In the over 100 hospitals that I have worked...

3. Trauma roon in your ED... who gets it?

   danny_RN replied to A&OxNone's topic in Emergency

   I have heard of this happening, but never seen it. And I have travelled in over 100 ER's across the US. The idea of the ICU nurse "coming down" for a trauma is a good idea to be a second nurse in...

4. to tell or not to tell

   danny_RN replied to lb289's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Tell the board of nursing the truth. I know a nurse who decided that she would not tell them that she had been to a 3 day inpatient detox for alcohol. She became licensed as an RN, worked for two...

5. "I didn't want to go into nursing because I didn't want to be labled gay"

   danny_RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Men in Nursing

   Why are we even bringing up sexual orientation? This is the problem with the nursing profession- people who pass judgment enter it! lol. How about lets all go to work and enjoy our jobs, and not...

6. Just got my nursing license (LVN)

   danny_RN replied to retrojg4434's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   Just read some NCLEX-PN study prep books and take the darn test lol. When you pass, look for a job. You will be oriented and will quickly be reminded of the things that you think you have forgotten....

   I'm 26 and am an male RN. I was in nursing school when I was 15 and 16 and became an LPN when I was 17. If you want to become a nurse start out by taking some of the general education courses. You...

8. LPN student on 2nd day of hospital clinicals

   danny_RN replied to student6's topic in LPN, LVN Students

   Keep your head up. From reading your post I can tell that you care, which a lot of people lack. Likely that RN and CNA you mentioned didn't care! Don't take it personal when people don't treat you...

9. Seeking Advice for LVN or RN

   danny_RN replied to addie23's topic in LPN to RN

   If you've been accepted to an LPN program, go for it! Use your LPN education as a stepping ground to earn your RN degree. You will start earning earlier and gain experience. It seems like you are...

10. Is it better to do an entry MSN or BSN if you do not have an RN yet?

    danny_RN replied to cacurlytop's topic in General Students

    I disagree to your response. The fact is, whether MSN/CNL vs BSN vs ADN, a new graduate nurse is a new graduate nurse. An MSN/CNL would likely land a clinical job right out of school, just as an ADN...

11. Is it better to do an entry MSN or BSN if you do not have an RN yet?

    danny_RN replied to cacurlytop's topic in General Students

    Also, don't pay much attention to the CNL title. Many places do not hire specifically a clinical nurse leader as a professional title, but ANYWHERE will hire you as an RN with an MSN. It is a very...

12. Is it better to do an entry MSN or BSN if you do not have an RN yet?

    danny_RN replied to cacurlytop's topic in General Students

    A clinical nurse leader is a non advanced practice nurse route to graduate nursing education. Being a CNL will likely land you a nursing administration role and prospectively a position as a nurse...

13. Can any of you guys help a guy out with 10 questions?

    danny_RN replied to OSUshane's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Well, I am guessing you could use me?!? I have been a nurse for 9 years but my education is as follows: I became an LPN 9 years ago, then finished an ADN program in 2006, and then completed a BSN...

14. Any guys with visible tattoos?

    danny_RN replied to HardworkeRN1234's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I am a nurse of 9 years and have both arms with sleeves, tattoos on my neck and legs, and my ears are gauged. I have not found a problem with my tattoos because I make it a point to always wear long...
