    NO JOBS

    100% what Hoosier just said. Non-hospital job = RN pay and RN experience No job (waiting on hospitals and Covid) = No pay and No RN

    Could I teach clinical at a hospital?

    meanmaryjean replied to LilyRN99's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Typically you need some type of relevant (I.e. hospital) experience to teach clinical in that setting. A clinical site is not going to offer much if anything in the way of orientation- you don't work...

    Do I have a chance for nursing school?

    meanmaryjean replied to FutureMaleNurse9722's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have all of your eggs in a single basket. Apply to other programs - community colleges. WGU has prelicensure nursing in Utah- you'd be a great candidate for their program. Cast a wide

    What's the dumbest thing you've done that you got written up for?

    meanmaryjean replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    You have no idea! They also tried to outlaw printed scrub tops (in a children's hospital FGS !) but finally made a rule it could be animals. Animals with faces only. So no hearts at Valentine's day....

    Bedside with an MSN?

    meanmaryjean replied to Sophia P's topic in General Nursing

    It's a role the VA kind of invented. Supposed to be a skilled bedside practitioner who is a leader. NOT a managerial role from what I can see. NOT an advanced practice role either. I have NEVER seen a...

    What's the dumbest thing you've done that you got written up for?

    meanmaryjean replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    I worked at a children's hospital named for a VERY generous benefactor- Peyton Manning. On the night of the Superbowl he QB'd for Denver - I got written up for wearing a Peyton Manning #18 Colts...

    Bedside with an MSN?

    meanmaryjean replied to Sophia P's topic in General Nursing

    CNL is not an advanced practice role- and is not utilized in many places outside federal facilities like the VA. I worked bedside with an MSN ED for years. Nothing says you

    Well, I guess you go enroll somewhere for the needed graduate credits. I know our local Big Ten allows non-degree seeking students in both undergrad and graduate schools. But honestly, your chances of...

    LVN to RN advice

    meanmaryjean replied to Cheche2bRN20's topic in LPN to RN

    The physical skills are far less important than the didactic content. You need good study skills- in other words, reading for content, picking out the main idea, outlining, critical thinking /...

    LVN to RN advice

    meanmaryjean replied to Cheche2bRN20's topic in LPN to RN

    Use good study habits from Day One. While the program I work for is not technically a bridge- I have about 25% LPNs. What typically happens is they are familiar with the early MedSurg content- and...

    What should I do in this situation? (Very afraid)

    meanmaryjean replied to LvlupNurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Online programs for non-nurses?

    meanmaryjean replied to SouthernBelle's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There are no 100% online programs that lead to either LPN or RN licensure. All such programs require hundreds of hours of in-person clinicals as well as skills labs. Some programs offer the classroom/...

    meanmaryjean replied to NPPSY's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Some states require you to be licensed if you have online students in that state. For example, I work for a large online university and when I was in my faculty role I had to have licenses in TN, WA...
