  1. Why would nurses voluntarily sign up at for profit schools?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in School, College Programs

    I just want to put out there that I think some of the university is located in or around the Grand Canyon. We get recruiters calling our floor looking for some of our nurses who filled out inquiries...

  2. Is the CVICU for open hearts the most acute ICU?

    RNdynamic posted a topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I currently work in the MICU but I know that in a year or so I will want to transition either to a CVICU for open hearts or the ICU float pool at my hospital. My question is are patients in the...

  3. Why would nurses voluntarily sign up at for profit schools?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in School, College Programs

    I see openyourmind and houstonrhopeful's points. On the one hand, it hurts us professionally to have arguments over whose degree is more legit. We see it in the area of associate degree vs BSN and...

  4. Why would nurses voluntarily sign up at for profit schools?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in School, College Programs

    Sorry, I thought because of the name it was geographically related to the actual Grand Canyon and/or was situated within the Canyon for recruitment

  5. Why would nurses voluntarily sign up at for profit schools?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in School, College Programs

    I am happy that you liked GCU. I never attended but I don't feel that I missed out on going to school in the Grand Canyon. I may have been as happy with that, as PSU, if I had been educated about...

  6. Nurse using an electric scooter

    RNdynamic replied to michellesherice's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Well if you plan on working a floor you may not be hired, because you wouldn't be able to turn people and ambulate people and it would result in a significant burden on your employer and would...

  7. Why would nurses voluntarily sign up at for profit schools?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in School, College Programs

    Your reply was actually very informative and I thank you for it. I didn't think the coursework was rigorous. I imagined they passed everyone but I am glad to see that the Grand Canyon had high...

  8. For-Profit Schools That Offer Online Nursing Programs

    RNdynamic replied to TheCommuter's topic in Online Distance Learning

    This thread isn't an article. It's an infomercial. These schools have banners all over this

    RNdynamic replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Sorry about the trolls, OP. I hope you find your

  10. Feminism, Nursing, and Gender

    RNdynamic replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    What is the point of a posting a reply like that? It's rude and undermines the OP's attempt to initiate an intelligent conversation. It also foments antagonism in others. If you have nothing to...

  11. Filipino nurses emigrating to US

    RNdynamic replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm forced to agree with the above. A few people have barged into this thread insinuating that this is degrading into a foreign nurse bashing thread, but I haven't seen anybody here insult any group...

  12. Filipino nurses emigrating to US

    RNdynamic replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We see plenty of Filipino nurses here in the USA. They tend to gear themselves towards critical care units in particular, in order to impress their families who praise high skill level jobs. To...

  14. Filipino nurses emigrating to US

    RNdynamic replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If I am not mistaken, the phillipines is the world's largest exporter of overseas laborers to various countries. OFW's (overseas filipino workers) send remittances back to the Philippines in amounts...

  15. ADN's being pushed out

    RNdynamic replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I have a bachelors degree in an unrelated field. I got my associate degree in nursing then over the course of a couple years completed my BSN while working. The coursework in my BSN program did very...

  16. How important is your 'look' as a nurse

    RNdynamic replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The link between body fat and health is also evidence based. You really need to bone up on your reading. Some consequences of obesity: stress incontinence, joint disease, sleep apnea, GERD. These...

  17. Is the CVICU for open hearts the most acute ICU?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    The flight services in my state require a paramedic license and ICU experience, but they don't specify the type of ICU

  18. How important is your 'look' as a nurse

    RNdynamic replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Actually it has been proven. You're sounding like one of those people who say evolution isn't true because it hasn't been proven in a study, when there is a preponderance of scientific evidence that...

  19. How important is your 'look' as a nurse

    RNdynamic replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    They may, but probably are not. BMI despite its limitations and scrutiny remains an extremely good barometer of cardiovascular stamina and overall health. Having a fatbody simply isn't healthy,...

  20. To My Preceptor

    RNdynamic replied to bas22's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds pretty bad there.. Preceptorship is a learning experience for both the preceptor and orientee. I've oriented people. It's only time consuming if you're letting the orientee handle a full...

  21. To My Preceptor

    RNdynamic replied to bas22's topic in General Nursing

    Precepting is generally less work than working the floor. Preceptors should be thanking orientees, not the other way

  22. What's considered "Job-Hopping" in nursing?

    RNdynamic replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Firstly, I don't think that there's anything wrong with job hopping if that's what a person wants to do. Some people are bored working on one unit and like to find a different unit to work on every...

  23. "1-2 years experience" required

    RNdynamic posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have been a nurse for 3 years, moving to a critical care unit but eventually looking to join the critical care float pool at my hospital. The positions for that pool stated "1-2 years ICU...

  24. What's considered "Job-Hopping" in nursing?

    RNdynamic replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Job hopping occurs due to poor job satisfaction, which stems from various reasons. I've worked in three departments in my current hospital over the last few years because the department I really want...

  25. Can hospitals average two weeks together to avoid paying overtime?

    RNdynamic posted a topic in General Nursing

    Brief backstory: I am a registered nurse. I graduated in 2011 and found my first job in a hospital that same year working on a floor. I worked 80 hours every 2 weeks, which consisted of six 12...
