    "Allow LPNs to challenge the Board of Nursing to obtain RN licensure" viral post

    Orion81RN replied to TheRuralNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Which program

    Orion81RN replied to Pdev's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The way my ADN program worked was we took our prereqs before the program, then in the program you would complete your 1st year. Then in the summer take peds and OB if you want to sit for the NCLEX-PN....

    "Why don't you want to work FT?" "I'm a bible teacher." Was your point that you aren't available on Sundays? Just say that if so. You can be honest without disclosing that you are a bible teacher in...

    Worst day ever!

    Orion81RN replied to CallMeSally's topic in General Students

    I can't believe OPs concern here is focused on not having friends after this, instead of the very real possibility of getting kicked out AND assisting in getting her friend kicked out. Unreal....

    You seriously want to double down, giving attitude here, thus alienating even more people? Not wise. Your post WAS quite confusing. Don't blame us for your very unclear

    Nursing is the Biggest Mistake of My Life

    New Grads in Critical Care area's

    Orion81RN replied to kindz22's topic in General Nursing

    No. I believe that new grads need to gain experience with nursing assessment in a less acute area first. I think assessment is key for acute care, right next to prioritization, and those are skills...

    Cut Right Thumb- Can I Still Be a Nurse?

    Orion81RN replied to Thumberino's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello. I think its completely possible to still be a nurse. Sure, you would need to modify your technique with syringes, but with practice, I'm sure it can be done. There will be some things that you...

    Ethical issue?

    Orion81RN replied to nursesmatter's topic in General Nursing

    I would have asked my nurse manager for guidance. And I was wondering the same thing regarding if it is in our scope of practice, basically giving a death notification. But that was a tight spot to be...

    BSN is a joke

    Orion81RN replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    There are many benefits to getting your ADN then BSN. It gets you working as an RN, making money while going back to complete your BSN. To transfer to NIU, it only required 1 additional year from my...
