    meanmaryjean replied to Maria3248's topic in General Students

    Participation Compensation

    meanmaryjean replied to doctoral_candidate17's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't think you need to offer compensation per participant - but if you do a $5 Starbucks card seems sufficient. I did a drawing (all participants got an entry) for a $100 Target card and had...

    DNP vs post masters certificate

    meanmaryjean replied to dawn2's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Most teaching positions are now requiring a terminal degree. A post-master's certificate is not a terminal degree. I'd stick with the DNP if you want to teach- it opens a LOT more doors down the road....

    Frontier Bound with infant?

    meanmaryjean replied to SabotsaRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    How so? The ONLY reliable source of information is the school itself. Supposed someone said "Yes, I took my baby and no problem" and they had changed their policy (because it WAS a problem) and you...

    New Grad rejected from First Hospital

    meanmaryjean replied to LindseyLou14's topic in General Nursing

    I would leave this alone. They are likely swamped with new grads and have internal employees already lined up for those slots. You will experience a lot of rejection in life as an RN- let it go and...

    RN at Eskenazi health VS IU university hospital

    meanmaryjean replied to YourFaveNurse's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I used to be a clinical instructor at Eskenazi and I spent a lot of time at the nurses stations waiting to talk to students. I NEVER heard anyone complain or gripe. Seriously. IU has laid off bedside...

    meanmaryjean replied to Tiffy81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LPNs are not being 'phased out'. That stupid rumor has been going around since I was in LPN school (40 years ago). While it is true that LPNs are seldom hired into acute care any longer, there are a...
