Sometimes the sciences do need to be repeated because they are over a certain amount of years old. But I am not an expert..so you need to contact the nursing program you want to go to. Good luck.

Guess you are the expert. Thanks for this valuable information.

I corrected my statement. In my opinion it is not up to a nurse to say someone is dependent or addicted. I mentioned the word addicted. Go figure. I guess just to start a debate. Sorry I offended anyone. Have a nice nite.

Oh, well , excuse me...addiction, dependency problem,..either one is not a nurse's decision.

Our hospital implemented bedside change of shift report to include patient, and family. It was so uncomfortable and we never could get out on time. Also, did not get paid for ot.

Wow. I am sorry for your bad time. However, I do understand. Good luck.

Who is we? I worked with more ADNs than BSNs.

I just ask. I have never been told no.

I asked the same question to my peers and they said put down two words...human resources.

allergies can make your eyes glazed...just saying.

I saw something the other day about this topic on this site, but do not know where. Did you google it already? Maybe it is in the student section.

I was given an angel pin that I put on my badge, if you are allowed to do that. Now it is in my collection of nursing pins.

You did not say you wanted to go get a BSN, but just a thought. Maybe you can get a federal grant or a scholarship. It is worth checking into..if you want to go back to school. Good luck.

I would feel bad, too. It is ok. You have feelings. You will find a job that is meant for you. Good luck. :)

Bring up the topic of unions with your coworkers and see what they think. or watch em get up and walk off..

Three floors..three aides. Hm. I would of argued that point with my supervisor. Seems like a huge safety issue with those numbers. But maybe there is different rules for your unit versus the other unit. Good luck.

When I was in nursing school..they made it a point to let us know it was their job to prepare us for NCLEX.

After working a high aquity unit..I think med surge is easier but more documentation because of a higher case load. But thats my experience.

Great post.

The state I live in requires one ceu of pain management. The other 24 are our discretion.

You need to vist your BON.

Its really cold there in the winter.

Was going to take a job in Minot. But changed my mind after the way the realtor talked down to me. Good luck. Supposedly oil has been found there.

It happens. It will eventually blow over. Just let it go. Best of luck.

My son had asthma as a child. He was in and out of the ER and Peds unit all summer. I became a nurse so I would know what they were doing to my child. Also, I have been a patient..I try not to say anything, but some how nurses just know, including myself. The worst is when you are taking care of a highly successful surgeon. Lots of experiences to share, but I really do not like talking about my patients. It just does not feel right.
