    kalevra replied to IcanHealYou's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    How about mandating that all APN programs require the Rn to actually have a year or two of work experience before they are eligible to apply. By work experience I mean paid work experience in the...

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

  5. Are you in it for the money?

    kalevra replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I was a poor single soldier before I started this whole RN thing. Comparing my old profession to this new one is like night and day. The money is way better as an RN, you have set hours, you get paid...

  7. SICK of BSN Pedestal

    kalevra replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  8. SICK of BSN Pedestal

    kalevra replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  11. SICK of BSN Pedestal

    kalevra replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Because setting one education standard for entry makes sense. It would squash all this in fighting so we can move on to more important matters. I bet there were a bunch of people that hated the idea...

    kalevra replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    BSN/MSN/PHD make the rules simple as that. Evidence based papers written by these guys guide the course of the nursing profession. They do the research, they end up publishing the research, and their...

  15. "Professional Dancer"

    kalevra replied to kalevra's topic in Men in Nursing

    I was informed earlier that in order to bring in more people to a school's Psych Tech program, they have begun to market the classes as "Psychiatric Nursing Technician". Originally the classes fell...

    Yeah I know weird right. But there are old threads about this some where in the archives on this

  19. Not a nurse? Then, why does LPN stand for Licensed Practical Nurse?

    kalevra replied to tjmiller's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Your state may have it in law that an RN can be called a nurse but an LVN cannot. I have read this kind of discussion before. In any case check up on the laws in your state. There is also a...

  21. CNN article on nurses and job growth

    kalevra replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    kalevra replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You realize that that the Nursing Profession itself is the one to blame for this "pedestal". If they set one standard that everyone adhered to, then there would be NO PEDESTAL. Instead we have hen...
