    bardone replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Am I the only one who thinks it's time to start referring to this as "health care reform" -- albeit two versions -- and ditch the monikers "Obamacare" and "Romneycare" once and for

  3. Future Shortage in Bedside Nurses

    bardone replied to westieluv's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Seems like a similar feeling about AP nurses (NPs, at least) extends to MDs, too. This is from the comments section of the NYT article referenced earlier: "Perhaps what we're seeing here is the...

    bardone replied to westieluv's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm changing careers and applying to direct-entry NP programs and ABSN-to-NP programs this fall. As an NP, I'd be *thrilled* to work as a bedside nurse!! I really enjoy the work I've done as a CNA...

    myelin, I'm curious about your experience in the program itself. Here's why: I've met three recent (completed in the last three years) graduates from the program, all of whom expressed that the...

    Hi again, In a previous post I'd mentioned -- then deleted, due to an incorrect spelling -- the email address of UCSF's go-to MEPN guy, Steven Johnson. His email address was given to me by a Nursing...

  10. Searching for GLBT-friendly accelerated BSN programs in progressive cities

    bardone replied to growingseeking's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
