    How Would You Rate Your Pain????

    PRICHARILLAisMISSED replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I won't be a problem when I start working. I've decided to just let the VA script me whatever it takes to get me able to do the job. Oh, and I understand the difference between "Decent" and "Descent."...

    BSN as entry into practice; why we decided against it.

    PRICHARILLAisMISSED replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Ok...I've looked at some of the suggested sites, as well as done a little research of my own on this matter. This is what I've found so far... There are quite a bit of papers that suggest that the BSN...

    HA!!! OK, Ntheboat2... I never heard of "Catfish" until I just looked it up on wiki right now, but (RESOUNDING!!!) "YES!", I am in fact a man. A fairly solid (though not completeley lol) 5'9" 215...

    Don't be too premature on that "HAHA..." Gotta do my research. Remember, there is still the matter of the BSN not adding to the scope of

    PRICHARILLAisMISSED replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    But you know what though, If CRNA's and NP's were already providing great service, I just think that it's CRAZY to ask them to get a higher degree just for the sake of a higher degree. I mean, if this...

    You see, Ntheboat2, THIS I can work with. I probably won't be able to respond until tomorrow as I want to read this wonderful lit your at chore that you have provided (I know how to spell...

    PRICHARILLAisMISSED replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This is actually a good point. And I agree for the most part. Question though, and I'm not being a smart-butt (I wanted to say "Smart-something else, but don't want to get banned for TOS.), I'm...

    Well, not "Significantly....." More like "Somewhat." Lets not make it more than it is And while I pointed this out earlier, I'll do it again-"Those BSN's who had a lower mortality rate than their...

    PRICHARILLAisMISSED replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    We require education for today's nurses because of the tremendous responsibilities they carry-and you understand this far better than I. In fact I'm giving up a six figure job just so I can pursue...

    PRICHARILLAisMISSED replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm looking for a justification to spend an extra two years and 10's of thousands of dollars to get a job that really doesn't require this sacrifice to be carried out, and carried out well. I am...

    These prostitutes you speak of were not nurses in the sense of today's nurse. Sure they were taught some basic lifesaving skills, and they had the title, but their technical expertise would not even...

    PRICHARILLAisMISSED replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    So...Are we all in agreement that a BSN is only necessary because the hospitals can be picky, or use it as a tie breaker? I mean this discussion has been going on for days now, and not one defender of...

    How Would You Rate Your Pain????

    PRICHARILLAisMISSED replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with some posters here that the "1-10" pain scale can be pretty inaccurate. I say this as a sufferer of chronic LBP. I have the same pain now sometimes as I had when it was at it's absolute...

    PRICHARILLAisMISSED replied to nursetim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Oh, GOD!... Out here (VEGAS), AMR tries to start Paramedics out at $14/hr. It is usually negotiated up to $16, but that's still incredibly low. I've looked at the Paramedic degree sheet at my local...

    That is exactly my point, Chica... Unless a BSN in an obstacle to an APN standing, WHY should a floor nurse bother with a BSN. I'm sure most would agree that it will not make them a better floor nurse...

    Agreed. Personally, If a BSN became the new entry level standard for Nursing, I would be OK with that provided the scope of practice along with the pay in creased Commensurately. The problem today is,...
