  1. Looking for a Online MSN in Nursing Education

    DowntheRiver replied to bsntiger's topic in Online Distance Learning

    75% of the time I feel like I'm actually learning and the other 25% is just busywork to fulfill a writing word count requirement. In the class I'm in now, we have to create our own syllabi and...

  2. Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    DowntheRiver replied to carti's topic in General Students

    You don't know what you don't know. Walk a mile as a woman and you might think differently. Just move on and let them have the female nurse if they request if available. I'd gladly switch with a male...

  3. Is it bad to turn down an interview in 3 days after having agreed to it?

    DowntheRiver replied to Erica_24's topic in General Nursing

    How did it

  4. Hospitals paying for your stay?

    DowntheRiver replied to sillymu's topic in Nursing Career

    Just because it is smaller. Some of the facilities along I-4 are new, but won't get the major traumas and cases like you would at the main campus. If I lived in Orlando, I'd want to be at ORMC...

  5. $750 CA RN License??? No way!

    DowntheRiver replied to Kdm112990's topic in General Nursing

    I think what folks are referring to in regards to the Micro with lab issue is several things: - Was the class taken online? - Were the classes separate? - Was it counted as one grade or two grades?...

  6. Master's Entry vs. Accelerated Bachelor's

    DowntheRiver replied to b00p's topic in School, College Programs

    You will be awarded a Master's degree or a Bachelor's degree, not a RN license. Upon completion of the program you will be eligible to sit for the NCLEX which will allow you to obtain a RN

  7. Already feel like giving up

    DowntheRiver replied to Toaster2k18's topic in General Nursing

    Walk us through the interview and then we may be able to provide more

  8. Hospitals paying for your stay?

    DowntheRiver replied to sillymu's topic in Nursing Career

    Here in Florida Advent Health (formally Florida Hospital) does offer high relocation bonuses and sign on packages for experienced nurses in larger metro areas. I do believe they also offer relocation...

  9. Is this insubordination? How do I deal with this PSW?

    DowntheRiver replied to guest1048932's topic in General Nursing

    Wouldn't it be hilarious if this was the same PSW referenced in the original post? Sure sounds like

  10. The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) RN-BSN Reviews

    DowntheRiver replied to DowntheRiver's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    It is kinda like a thesis project. You pick a topic, build on it every week, and ultimately end up making a power point project on it. It is something like 9-13 slides and you have to make notes as if...

  11. The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) RN-BSN Reviews

    DowntheRiver replied to DowntheRiver's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    The evaluation of transcript delay is typical for UTA. I had trouble with this with my RN to BSN application. They allowed me (and also many students) to start several intro classes prior to being...

  12. Blast from the past...

    DowntheRiver replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    I was 8 or 9 when the first Power Rangers movie came out in theaters. I was so excited to go see it and made my mom buy advanced tickets because I was SO CERTAIN that the movie would sell out. Back...

  13. Looking for a Online MSN in Nursing Education

    DowntheRiver replied to bsntiger's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm doing the UTA MSN Ed. program, four classes in so far. I did their RN to BSN program so I was already familiar with their format and formula. It is 100% online except for your two clinicals which...

  14. Part Time Job

    DowntheRiver replied to gravy94's topic in General Nursing

    If you're looking for a per diem nursing job that requires little to no nursing experience, I'd suggest looking outside the hospital. Some suggestions: - Vaccine Clinics: Some places do flu clinics...

  15. Worsening Health, Considering Resignation

    DowntheRiver replied to Serhilda's topic in General Nursing

    Hello! Please feel free to PM me. There is also a board on here, nurses with disabilities, that you might find helpful. I recall several topics similar to yours in the last year. In fact, I myself...

  16. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    DowntheRiver replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    No m'am, just wondering if the nurse lurks here and reads all these comments made about

  17. Is this insubordination? How do I deal with this PSW?

    DowntheRiver replied to guest1048932's topic in General Nursing

    There are a lot of people out there that think nurses are just task workers or worker bees who just carry out doctor's orders. Therefore, they think they could just be a nurse, minus the schooling....

  18. Is this insubordination? How do I deal with this PSW?

    DowntheRiver replied to guest1048932's topic in General Nursing

    Woah woah woah newbie, coming in a little harsh there. I don't think her ego has anything to do with it. I, too, would be irritated if a non-nurse was trying to work and/or act like a nurse. I don't...

  19. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    DowntheRiver replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Just a thought, but I wonder if that nurse reads this

  20. Does the BSN in 10 apply to all nurses or just RN's and why?

    DowntheRiver replied to LPNTORN704's topic in General Nursing

    Where YOU live? Where we ALL live in the USA. All RNs have the same scope of practice, with variations per

    DowntheRiver replied to Bambi1's topic in General Students

    I, too, need more clarification on "missing questions" to be able to properly address your situation,

  22. Two weeks in-not sure I can do this!

    DowntheRiver replied to Piper98's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is a whole different beast. I agree with this poster, don't panic. Nursing education and nursing tests are different. You'll see with the first test that every answer is somewhat...

  23. Help! Accepted a job but how to turn down!

    DowntheRiver replied to Alismich's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    When I was a clinic nurse, I was a jack of all trades and I loved it. I learned so much in those two years that were a great foundation for my nursing practice, albeit it was atypical for a new grad...

  24. Negotiating Salary as a New Nurse

    DowntheRiver replied to kaymichele's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you're at a hospital facility and/or corporate facility, there will most likely be a nursing payscale the correlates with years of experience with pay amount. It is hard to negotiate typically...

  25. Forgery,

    DowntheRiver replied to BettyGirard's topic in School

    I was one of those kids that forged my dad's signature on something as a kid. I think it was a test that I got a "C" on. It definitely backfired and I had my butt handed to me by both the school and...
