    NursesAreAngels2 replied to mustbegood's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    NursesAreAngels2 posted a topic in LPN to RN

    Anyone do the ISU program in AZ? My husband is currently stationed here and I want to do this program. Any loop holes to get around the fact that AZ doesn't accept the program? ISU told me they could...

    NursesAreAngels2 replied to Simply Complicated's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I did start a Intro to Chemistry a long time ago and I hated I ended up dropping the class. It just didn't interest me so I learned nothing. That was a long time ago so maybe I will find it more...

    NursesAreAngels2 replied to Simply Complicated's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have taken pharmacology and had an excellent grade. I have absolutely no chemistry background not even an High School level. Can't comment on pathophysiology I've never taken that

  10. Horrible CNA's

    NursesAreAngels2 replied to tojal1989's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I can definetely see your frustration with the CNA with the attitude about helping transfer someone. I had an issue once with a CNA who got mad at me cause I asked her to change someone that was...

  11. Denied admission for BSN program

    NursesAreAngels2 replied to Simply Complicated's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I understand the whole well rounded education but to be honest most the classes they require just don't apply to actually performing the job. I just don't feel I need anymore history to be able to...

    NursesAreAngels2 replied to Simply Complicated's topic in Online Distance Learning

    hmm every school I've looked at requires

    NursesAreAngels2 replied to Simply Complicated's topic in Online Distance Learning

    When I say fluff I meant unnecessary. Explain to me what the need for Calc, and Stat, have anything to do with Nursing? Chemistry imo is questionable whether needed or not. You don't think some of...

    This is exactly my work

  16. Denied admission for BSN program

    NursesAreAngels2 replied to Simply Complicated's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Bachelors degrees require a lot of fluff classes imo. Like history, public speaking, etc??? All the stuff you don't need to know to perform your job

  17. Denied admission for BSN program

    NursesAreAngels2 replied to Simply Complicated's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You probably just need to get some more classes under your belt before they will accept you. I wouldn't worry, just find out what classes you still need and start getting those taken care of :)...

  18. "If they really cared about their mom, they wouldn't of put her in a nursing home"

    NursesAreAngels2 replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Nursing Homes can absolutely be great places for elderly people, they need to make changes though. An LPN or RN can not adequately care for 30+ people in 8 hours I don't care how routine it is...

  19. Does this make me an "RN snob"?

    NursesAreAngels2 replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    So basically what your saying is they can perform surgery under a MD as long as they don't call themselves one . Something needs to be done about this, it needs to be

  20. Can this put MY license at risk?

    NursesAreAngels2 replied to missladyrn's topic in General Nursing

    I would report her to the state BON since your managment doesn't feel the need to address the situation properly. I have a similar situation going on at work right now. An LPN I relieve keeps cutting...

    NursesAreAngels2 replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    After working in LTC I would feel really guilty sending my parents to a home. We try our hardest but the bottom line is that the people don't get the care they should because the patient ratio is way...

  22. Be a nurse or not?! HELP ME PLEASE!

    NursesAreAngels2 replied to ENT RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your second sentence says it all to me. Don't get into nursing, it shouldn't be about a paycheck. I love caring for people and I love the human body and all the neat stuff I learn about it on a...

  23. Does this make me an "RN snob"?

    NursesAreAngels2 replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    If it's not illegal it should be. There is a reason for the schooling involved in nursing and most of it is directly related to patient safety. Anyone can do a direct IV push thats easy, its all the...
