  1. Hi - Could someone that work in a hospital setting explain to me the "real" difference between a CNL and a NP? I've read all the descriptions on various school program sites but they seem very academic and don't speak to what the main differences ar...
  2. Hi All- Quick question, can anyone recommend certifications that new grads should consider? I have the BLS and plan on taking the ACLS certification within the next month. I was wondering are there any others that I should take, that will strengthe...
  3. What money can get you.

    I agree and also the patient should have sued the hospital and possibly school, that would have surely gotten daddy's attention...also like someone else posted with all the money she's "suppose" to have why would she choose nursing? Somethings not r...
  4. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    but let's keep it real. it's not only bitter and dried up, that needs to retire. there are many more 'just plain ignorant' nurses/students, who should have never been there in the first place. this is the big picture of what our truth is. let's do so...
  5. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    Canesdukegirl, if you read an attack in my response then perhaps you should re-read the posts. I made reference to a comment that SHE posted, which sounds as if she has a problem with things that are being asked of her in her current role as a hosp...
  6. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    Sounds like you have an issue with your place of work and what's required of you because I never indicated that a nurses service should include any of the things you referred to but it's a service career, so is cop, secretary, bank teller, cashier et...
  7. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    I would agree with you Mindlor....which is probably part of the problem as to why new grads are having a tough time finding a job - - see if you can volunteer at a hospital along the way, I know some of my classmates work as CNA I and II's, I don't ...
  8. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    Actually, I envy the ADN folks at my school because they get all the skills training...the BSN is heavy on the books and theory, I actually think that we should be skilled prepared like our ASN cohorts but according to the school it prepares you for ...
  9. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    Mindlor let the post die you can't reason with the bitter, rude nor the uninformed. Shake your head and shake it off and make a difference where you can. Hate or love it colleges are graduating NEW nurses in record numbers. Some people hate change...
  10. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    You took it personal because it hit a nerve in you and quite frankly perhaps you should take the time to read the entire thread and then respond appropriately. I can see that your main problem is that you think because you have tenure that you know ...
  11. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    Hey Mi Vida Loca~RN I wish there was a love button!!!!!
  12. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    Actually I am done with the post because I am not moving off of my stance...what I have learned that alot of these folks are rude because they are burnt out or fearful of change, or losing their jobs to someone... I personally believe that what's for...
  13. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    is not acceptable from.....
  14. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    Hey there Mindlor...welcome back! Some people can't handle the truth or they think because they're older they have the right to be nasty due to experience....I say whatever, that treatment is acceptable from a newbie or more tenured person...actuall...
  15. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    I only come off as combative because I won't agree with your nonsense that being rude is okay, you just can't handle someone telling the truth and maybe its a thorn in your side because you are that nurse the OP was referring to...I am a professional...
  16. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    Also odds are you won't learn much from someone treating you rudely. You will be too focused on their behavior or trying to avoid them all together. Who wants to spend time 8 to 12 hours no less with someone with a surly disposition. The only thi...
  17. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    I never compared nurses to any other profession. However, since you compared the profession to a waitress, your words not mine just remember that nursing is a position of service. You are paid to care/provide a service to patients/clients. And...
  18. sorry anne needs to speak up....getting the characters confused
  19. I would definitely let them know about it...Mary is going to have to toughen up because unfortunately bullies are in every profession they prey upon the meek and the mild...
  20. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    Rudeness is never acceptable - there is never another side to being disrespectful no excuse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So stop trying to justify rude behavior. Unless the topic is rude behavior for me it's not worth talking about because i was responding to...
  21. It's called horizontal violence and it's a big NO NO.....I would strongly urge you to encourage Mary to have the person reported...the only way to stop a bully is to call them to task on their behavior. Just because she's been around since the first...
  22. Can you prick a diabetic too hard?

    TRACEY RN - that story was priceless and way too funny! as a senior in my last semester of a BSN program...there are times that I feel like a failure everyday....I try to keep my chin up...I've also been lucky enough to have clinical instructors who ...
  23. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    hmmmm not sure who the recent posters were referring to but as far as I am concerned my sentiments remain the same....RUDENESS should not be tolerated from young, middle-aged or old.....and at 44yrs old I can pretty discern the difference between som...
  24. Thanks for the information...was the academic training piece similar to the NP program...I've found some year long programs for the NP track...some of them (reputable schools such as Vandi and Emory) offered most of it online.
  25. Thanks, I've pretty much read the same material and don't think I've ever ran into a CNS so I'll probably continue on with the NP Masters program...they are really pushing the CNS program at my school but I wanted to do more research before I made a ...
