1. ADN or BSN

   DarkKnightNurse replied to LiveUrDreams's topic in General Students

   I have never heard of any ICU preferring to hire an ADN over a BSN prepared nurse because of fear they may leave. Every hospital unit prefers the BSN over ADN.

2. ADN or BSN

   DarkKnightNurse replied to LiveUrDreams's topic in General Students

   Just go straight to BSN. Its a waste of time to just get an ADN these days because more than likely, youll have to go back to school anyways with most hospitals wanting magnet status these days. The BSN makes you a lot more marketable.

3. clinical instructor question

   DarkKnightNurse posted a topic in Educators

   Im currently in a MSN program with an emphasis in leadership and administration but I also want to be a clinical instructor one day. I chose leadership instead of education because I was told it was a broader degree but it really doesn't matter as lo...

4. MSN Education is it worth it? or this concentration is more about your passion?

   DarkKnightNurse replied to eliezar's topic in Educators

   Theres more to having your MSNed than just teaching nursing students. you can become a nurse educator at a hospital, nurse manager, administration or director or nursing at smaller community hospitals. Many nurse managers only have their BSN so havin...

5. Does anyone know anything about Western Governors University?

   DarkKnightNurse replied to DarkKnightNurse's topic in Western Governors

   I read that you take tests in front of a web cam, was that creepy for you? How difficult would you say your were? not trying to find an "easy" program but I just would like a clear picture of what I would be getting myself into.

   Hi, im considering doing the MSN ed program through WGU but would like information from anyone who graduated or attending the school. Can you tell me what its like? hows the testing? Are the exams really hard? how long does the program take to comple...

7. Not getting charge nurse position

   DarkKnightNurse replied to frisky's topic in Management

   Honestly I would look for another facility because for one reason or another there seems to be a glass ceiling where you work and youre being held back. You're more than qualified to be a charge nurse. My friend is a new grad BSN and after 3 months s...

8. I am NOT a Nurse...

   DarkKnightNurse replied to GoofyBlondeChic's topic in General Nursing

   I wouldn't sweat them calling you nurse if I were you. They see you taking care of them in some sort of capacity so that's really what a nurse is. Just legally you don't have the title of Nurse. I didn't consider myself a Nurse until I saw my license...

9. Cheaters.... What is our responsibility?

   DarkKnightNurse replied to PlayaChickRN's topic in General Students

   I knew plenty of cheaters in college, some failed out and some are RNs now. I was never too bothered by it even though I never cheated myself. its just one of those things you have to let go because it always catches up to them in the long run. they'...

    DarkKnightNurse replied to DarkKnightNurse's topic in NCLEX

    Um excuse me, but do you know if im a nurse or not? I asked if I was unsure if I passed nclex RN. I am a LVN so actually I am a nurse so be careful with rushing to assumptions, thank you!

13. Would you quit over white uniforms?

    DarkKnightNurse replied to TexMex22's topic in General Nursing

    You never quit a job until you have another job. If wearing white bothers you that much then sure, look for another job. But I wouldn't quit until I knew for sure I had another job lined up.

    Ok so I took the California Nclex-RN Tuesday and im still freaking out. I got all 265 questions and I felt like I didn't know a thing on the test. My first question was asking about the normal values of a reticulocyte!! I had not even heard of that b...
