  1. Share your Job Fair experience...

    kalevra replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I never said they were useless. In fact, they are very useful. CNAs do make life easier as well as the secretaries and so forth. I said they were low level. As in where do they fall in the facility...

  2. Share your Job Fair experience...

    kalevra replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    IN my experience job fairs I have been to are designed to hire lower level employees usually Secretary, maintenance, medical assistants CNAs and security. Never been to a health related job fair that...

  3. Whats wrong with working in a nursing home?

    kalevra replied to jasminewilliams's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    woops

  4. Nursing is better than what is out THERE. What do you think?

    kalevra replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    HAHAHAHAHAHAH Do people really think they will avoid rude patients and family members for the care that they receive while in hospital. Wait till you get into nursing school and you get "that"...

  5. Want to quit nursing school.

    kalevra replied to dpf112's topic in General Students

    I figured she would be. This sounds like typical Filipino family pressure. The only way to break the cycle is if you do your own thing and be successful at it. Your parents are only following the...

  6. Want to quit nursing school.

    kalevra replied to dpf112's topic in General Students

    Are you a filipino? I can see why they would want you to go into nursing as it is perceived as "recession proof" and a "guaranteed job". I say forget nursing school and go with graphic design. Just...

  7. Not sure this environment is for me

    kalevra replied to tailsspin's topic in Male Nursing Students

    What country are you

  8. Your take on actors playing "nurse"...

    kalevra replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Need to show more burned out nurses working in under staffed units with management constantly demanding better performance while at the same time refusing to hire more

  9. Nursing essay

    kalevra replied to PnutButterJelly's topic in Pediatric

    Tug on those heart strings. If you can write something that can make the selection team cry their eyes out, your in. Use your imagination. Its not like they are going to track down every single...

  10. 2015 DNP Requirement for APNs

    kalevra replied to IcanHealYou's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Remember when people were talking about having BSN as the minimum education requirement for an RN. Looking back we all see that it was just a suggestion. No actual legal ramification resulted in this...

  11. 2015 DNP Requirement for APNs

    kalevra replied to IcanHealYou's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So so long as implementation of EBP practice does not contradict in house standard operating procedure, the NP is good to go. 17 years

  12. 2015 DNP Requirement for APNs

    kalevra replied to IcanHealYou's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So in practice, the Doctorate level for NPs is just a suggestion. It actually caries absolutely zero weight in your practice. Which means the MSN for NP programs will still be able to live on and...

  13. Intensity of adn/absn programs

    kalevra replied to cjcaet's topic in General Students

    In order to get in a BSN program your going to have to take the pre-reqs anyway. Typically you apply for the university and take the pre-reqs. Then apply to the BSN program and based on your grades...

  14. Intensity of adn/absn programs

    kalevra replied to cjcaet's topic in General Students

    Its easy. There is a larger focus on clinical rather than theoretical. We spend 18 hours at bedside with 3-4 patients each. That does not mean going to hospital to pick a patient and write a care...

  15. Why do CNA's get low pay for the hard labor that they do?

    kalevra replied to M4ri_777's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Very limited scope of practice. Hard manual labor does not always mean better

  16. 2015 DNP Requirement for APNs

    kalevra replied to IcanHealYou's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am also interested on who has the last word on education requirements. I have my own theory, which is there is no actual single

  17. I dropped out. Please console me

    kalevra replied to mclennan's topic in General Nursing

    Buck up. No one can force you to go through extra crap unless except for you. If you have a stable job and your able to live well, the extra bells and whistles do not matter. So what if you got that...

  18. NURSING...the to die for career...hmm

    kalevra replied to lkulmann's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Lol NO the military is not unionized. You would be slammed with UCMJ just for even trying to unionize. This one made me laugh so

  19. 2015 DNP Requirement for APNs

    kalevra replied to IcanHealYou's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for your honesty, I think I am beginning to see your perspective on the issue. So in application, if new grads cant find jobs right after getting their BSN, they should instead go into NP....

  20. I need advice - nursing or phd in population health

    kalevra replied to Lily333's topic in Nursing Career

    which one pays more? how much in loans will you have to pay back? what is the job market for the degree? If you go the nursing route understand it is a lot of manual labor, especially if you work in a...

  21. RN in a Vet's office

    kalevra replied to alrighThen's topic in Nursing Career

    Actually I really dont like children at all. That high pitched scream makes my blood curdle. But they are people and I have , begrudgingly,to put peoples needs in front of animal needs. Puppies are...

  22. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    kalevra replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Isn't it funny how getting hired for your first nursing job has become a beauty pageant. I would not be surprised to see schools add in a mandatory physical fitness class in order to shape up that gut...

  23. 2015 DNP Requirement for APNs

    kalevra replied to IcanHealYou's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Really? Would you mind sending me a link to the study, I would love to read

  24. RN in a Vet's office

    kalevra replied to alrighThen's topic in Nursing Career

    I would rather have puppies die than watch babies die. Nursing isn't all unicorns and rainbows. BTW, your gonna go from one dirty job to

  25. 2015 DNP Requirement for APNs

    kalevra replied to IcanHealYou's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    CRNAs requiring ICU experience for at least 1 year makes sense. They have to be really good at monitoring a patients status in the OR. The ICU floor with their highly acute patients that are close to...
