Salisburysteak BSN, RN

I was a CNA in the early 1990s so here is what I remember *Taking manual vital signs plus shaking all thermometers down at the end of our shift. We would wash them with soap and water; then they would go in a green solution for 24 hours. Night s...

I agree with this to a point. I have noticed that many perspective nursing students do not want to wait to get their nursing degrees. They want it sooner and tnhese schools promise quick results. They would rather spend 50-70k form an online fly-by-n...

I have done it twice. It is NOT awkward at all. I followed a DON to another facility. It was a great job, and we were both much happier there. I followed a supervisor to another facility. We worked together for nearly ten years. I have since moved on...

Tell me you do not know how to be a manager without telling me you do not know how to be a manager 🙄 What a horrible situation for you. I am getting ready to start a new position also. I am gping from LTAC nursing to IMC in an acute hospital. I ...

Oh great the MLM world has infiltrated allnurses. 🤦‍♀️😠

I hate to admit this, but this is spot on. ?

I believe it comes from insecurity within themselves. I also wonder if some of these people are looking for likes, and want to be influencers on social media. I don't know. I am glad I am not the only one who is tired of it.

The student nurses I understand. They are giddy and excited about Nursing School; however, I find some of my nurse FB friends post a little annoying especially when all they post is nurse related things. All. the. time. It is in their name and any co...

Exactly! my boss came in after hours a couple of times. She was in yoga pants and a t-shirt. Stop over thinking and wear what you normally wear. Of course do not look like a slob though.

I think what the other poster was stating about APA format is that it is the focus of many Nursing classes. From reading your previous posts you are not in the US and US Nursing Schools are focusing more on the theory aspect of Nursing. While that is...

This is the best response! I could not agree more!

Does not matter. Boundaries! Boundaries! Boundaries! When a patient/resident leaves a facility your relationship with them is terminated. You can be an empathetic and a comassionate caregiver without getting personally involved with them. This is a ...

Bless you for doing Psych! That is one area I cannot do. This is why nurses are needed everywhere. One specialty is not better than another. As a previous poster has stated--it is their problem not yours. I worked with a nurse awhile ago in SNF, he...

You are so misguided in how CC work. I went to a CC and my professors were ALL DNPs. We had one MSN educator and she was in the process of getting her DNP. Crazy isn't it. BSN prepared nurses CANNOT teach(didactic) in the classroom. LET me say it aga...

Do you know what the grading scale is for the so-called less than worthy Community College? This level of arrogance that makes veteran nurses have disdain for new grads. When you graduate your preparation level will be no different than that of an A...

My oh my oh my!! Exactly what basis are you gauging this on. Have you even gone to a Community College? You will be prepared for Nursing no different than an ADN prepared nurse. This level of arrogance you have will NOT serve you well in your career....

Oh boy! OP, you are opening a Pandora’s Box that needs to stay closed! An ADN is an RN and a BSN is an RN. Graduates of both programs take the same NCLEX-RN. There is no different NCLEX for the degree you graduated with. Not everyone can afford or...

You have received several plausible answers; however, your responses to those posters come off as immature and unprofessional! I believe you felt slighted because the nurse might have undermined you. You should have said something immediately afte...

Working in the hospital is NOT an end all , be all of Nursing. Nurses are needed everywhere! There is absolutely nothing wrong with working in a long-term care facility. Me thinks you bought into the fallacy that hospital(acute) nursing is the “real”...

Since you want to serve underserved people, maybe becoming a Social Worker would fulfill your career goals better. Rarely, RNs that graduate go right into a desk job. An RN will need bedside experience before getting a low stress job. Those jobs ar...

Yes! And those are the nurses that become nurse managers.

I believe all workplaces have a “Clark”, and that can really drain workplace morale. I do address the patients with Mr/Mrs/Miss. it is just the right thing to do and if the patient says otherwise I will do it for their stay. I work in long-term acute...

CSN has no waiting lists for their ADN program. It is limited-entry which means you have to apply to the program. There are pre-read that need to be completed though. CSN will give you a great nursing education. I know I graduated from their program....

Look on your states BON for information on how to reactivate your nursing license. Every state is different and you may get conflicting information.

I agree! I work in one and, we do a lot of the same tasks/ treatments an acute care hospital does. LTACH is a great way to get nursing experience. There is more than just Kindred. Kindred has it positives & negatives. Look for other facilities ...
