  1. Nursing By Which Route?

    WhatToDo replied to land64shark's topic in Nursing Career

    I think you have thought this through carefully. From what you said it seems the BSN program is a no brainer, you'd get to be a nurse in the same amount of time as you would with the ASN degree, but...

  2. How do you feel about ADN nurses?

    WhatToDo replied to Stacy W's topic in Nursing Career

    I couldn't agree more! In fact, I just compared the clinical nursing credits at the community college where I took my pre-requisites and the clinical nursing credits at my accelerated BSN program....

  3. How do you feel about ADN nurses?

    WhatToDo replied to Stacy W's topic in Nursing Career

    BETSRN- I'm certain that some people who come out of an "accelerated" program from a top ten school with accomplished faculty, adequate resources, good teacher to student ratio etc. will be better...

  4. How do you feel about ADN nurses?

    WhatToDo replied to Stacy W's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree with most replies, it doesn't matter what sort of degree you have as long as you can do your job well. This debate only drives us apart. I don't like how nurses on this board think that a...

  5. Thumb sucking adults

    WhatToDo replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Gompers- How funny about your ex-boyfriend (not really)! When I was reading through the posts I was thinking about my momster who has borderline personality disorder. She still has blankets and...

  6. Need scholarships

    WhatToDo posted a topic in General Students

    I will be starting an accelerated BSN program at Johns Hopkins in June and I am scared to death about how much it's going to cost. I haven't heard back from their financial aid office yet, but I...

  7. Strange feelings

    WhatToDo posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm starting nursing school in June, but in the mean time I have been volunteering and job shadowing nurses and a CNM trying to figure out what area of nursing might be good for me. I had the...

  8. Strange feelings

    WhatToDo replied to WhatToDo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Never thought of actually being attracted to a patient. How unethical. Whatever, I'm sure males OBGYNs get turned on from time to time, you just have to hope yours

  9. Any public health nurses work with children who have disabilites?

    WhatToDo posted a topic in Public, Community Health

    I'm really interested in public health nursing as I already have an MPH and will be getting my BSN soon. I worked with a child who had cerebral palsy for a year during my first bachelor's and really...

  10. Why do we need the docs for delivery?

    WhatToDo replied to ER1010's topic in Ob/Gyn

    From a public health perspective, people doing research online about their health is great! While I'm sure docs and nurses get annoyed with answering a lot of questions, it really empowers a patient...

  11. A day in the life of a developmental disability nurse...

    WhatToDo replied to Louisepug's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    Thanks for your post Louisepug, I'm also graduating nursing school in 2006. I'm still trying to figure out where I belong too, but I worked as a nanny for a year in college for a child with cerebral...

  12. How to give bad news

    WhatToDo replied to FutureNrse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hopefully it will go better this time for your sister. I don't know if you have ever heard of the stages of death and dying (Kubler-Ross), but it's just one theory of how people deal with death. The...

  13. working in the well baby nursery

    WhatToDo replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm absoluting no expert, but I spoke to my nurse manager in labor & delivery yesturday (I volunteer there) and asked her about the different areas of the OB. Our unit is an LDRP, they hire new...

  14. NON-Patient Care Employment for new R.N.s

    WhatToDo replied to California-O.T.'s topic in Nursing Career

    Nurses that do telephone triage do have direct contact with patients, not sure if they need patient care experience first through. Also, nurses could certainly use more politcally active nurses. You...

  15. Higschooler in need of help

    WhatToDo replied to LIZ07's topic in Nursing Career

    I believe around here nurses make $20 - $30 an hour. If I had it to do all over again, I would have gone for an ADN and directly into a BSN. That way you can work part-time making a nurse's salary...

  16. Seeking Guidance For My Daughter

    WhatToDo replied to Drackman's topic in Nursing Career

    Did she have all the pre-requisities done prior to applying the first time? Sometimes this is a major factor, I applied to some schools in Texas when I didn't have any of the science pre-reqs done...

  17. Working during nursing school/clinicals

    WhatToDo replied to Plagueis's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm entering an accelerated BSN program this summer and they say there is no time for working during school. At least it's only a year, but I have never not worked in school. I'm applying for...

  18. Looking for new grad opportunities

    WhatToDo replied to jzprple's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think it's safe to assume that all new grad nurses are not the same, some people simply learn faster than others. Some go to better schools than others, some are simply better nurses than others. I...

  19. Looking for new grad opportunities

    WhatToDo replied to jzprple's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I grew up in Omaha Nebraska (Elkhorn to be exact)! Omaha is a quite city. I'm in Texas now and the L&D unit where I volunteer hires new grads. The nurses say that not being able to get an...

  20. OB brings med student without permission

    WhatToDo replied to BETSRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am completely disgusted after reading the article posted about by bergren(http://www.menshealth.com/cda/article/0,2823,s1-3-67-0-1537-2-3-2,00.html)! Reading this makes me not even want to go to...

  21. Graduate School Options for new BSN - any ideas?

    WhatToDo replied to azzurra29's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm the same as you but I already have an MPH and now I'm going into an accelerated BSN program. You might look into the Peace Corps, it would give you some international experience and if you have...

  22. Getting a RN after a four year degree

    WhatToDo replied to ladyraider's topic in Nursing Career

    Hey there. I'm not sure, but it sounds like you are starting in college for the first time. If I'd had it to do all over again, I would have started with getting and ADN and then go on to a 2-year...

  23. How necessary are episiotomies?

    WhatToDo posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    My mother said the worst thing about my brother's and my delivery was the episiotomy. After taking a class in women's reproductive health, I understand that episitomies are performed more often than...

  24. MSN vs BSN in PHN

    WhatToDo replied to Salus's topic in Public, Community Health

    To get upper level jobs or jobs with places like the CDC, NIH, UN, or WHO, I believe a master's degree in nursing or public health is necessary. I know that if you don't have a nursing degree and go...

  25. How much control do mom's really have during birth?

    WhatToDo posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm learning so much from this board, thank you! I'm going into nursing school in June and I am interested in L&D. Forgive my ignorance. I have read so many posts in here that talk about the...
