    Can I be a nurse without majoring in BSN?

    Orion81RN replied to 4pplepie99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everyone has their own personal reasons for getting an ADN before/instead of BSN that has nothing to do with length of

    Can I be a nurse without majoring in BSN?

    Orion81RN replied to 4pplepie99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's absolutely absurd. You can't learn pathophysiology and nursing intervention before having a very good grip on A&P. Id be running from that

    Can I be a nurse without majoring in BSN?

    Orion81RN replied to 4pplepie99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In what universe does this make sense? You'd have to take anatomy and physiology (2 semester's worth of info) at the same time you are learning med-surg/adult nursing/ pathophysiology and...

    Unfair Clinical Evaluations

    Orion81RN replied to guest723's topic in General Students

    I think their idea of taking initiative is different from yours. You thought you were taking initiative by "offering advice" for a warm compress and "advising" the nurse to search for other IV...

    Surgeons - ugh!

    Orion81RN replied to Melanin's topic in General Nursing

    What should happen? The physician can use those exact words. Remain professional. If they've already addressed an issue such as this with a nurse guilty of the above behavior, then I could maybe...

    Too insecure

    Orion81RN replied to RNsoon's topic in General Students

    If my BP or HR was mentioned by another student, in regards to my health, I'd remind them of what other things can cause elevated readings. For example, someone says, "You need to pay better attention...

    Drawing blood, did I hit a nerve?

    Orion81RN replied to Slipping CMA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I suppose it's possible. I know it's easy for me to say to just let it go. You saw the vein. You felt it. You got the vein. No problems til afterward. I don't see anything you could have done...

    When Nurses Dream...and Have Nightmares!

    Orion81RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Love the article! I've read on here before how common the dream is where there is a patient we haven't laid eyes on the entire shift. My biggest issue with my current job is my my chronic lack of...

    (Inexperienced) LPN working (in LTC) again.

    Orion81RN replied to LPNagain7's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Ugh...I'm sorry. I'm on the other side working home care considering going back to LTC. But that was when I had 15-25 patients depending on if it was mostly post acute (average 15) or mostly long term...

    The Importance of a Title: Anesthesiologist vs. Nurse Anesthetist

    Orion81RN replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    According to our guest on this site, 6 months of clinical experience equates to those 5-7 years of prior patient care as an RN.

    The Importance of a Title: Anesthesiologist vs. Nurse Anesthetist

    Orion81RN replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    You can't expect to have a productive conversation where everyone on all sides can learn from each other when you are starting from a place of such ignorance. That place being that nursing is...

    CNA Test Appeal

    Orion81RN replied to BioMaj's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Wow. You don't even get the chance to retake the exam? It's been a long time, so I don't recall. What BS. I'm picturing you working next to her one day as coworkers, and her needing something from...

    Useless Shift Report Information

    Orion81RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Many nurses I've worked with in private duty state the tasks they completed. Trach care, oral care, bed bath...I'm thinking, "yes, you did your job. But why do I need to hear this?" I only want to...

    How often do you wash your scrubs? :)

    Orion81RN replied to RNinheart's topic in General Nursing

    Your hospital doesn't provide you with surgical scrubs to put on at work and toss in the laundry

    Staff nurse role in reporting abuse? Insight, please!

    Orion81RN replied to SweetErica's topic in General Nursing

    This! OP, your facility knows it's in trouble and wants to make it look like they did something about it. I initially read this last night right before falling asleep and was so pissed for you.

    Pt confidentiality

    Orion81RN replied to Irving's topic in General Nursing

    The HIPAA challenges section is quite easy to find. Especially having been here since 2009 and all. That is a funny comment. If you wanted to mention it on FB you could do so by not even mentioning...

    "How are we doing today?"

    Orion81RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    And this is YOUR doctor, not your kid's? Is a child even present where it would at least be even somewhat understandable? That's just so

    What is my "unit" called in english and what profession is it in the USA?

    Orion81RN replied to Grogon's topic in General Nursing

    You use the nursing process. You're 100% nurse. I can relate. Ever since I started private duty nursing (all shift in one PT's home) I don't feel like a nurse anymore. Even on my...

    Nurse as a Patient?

    Orion81RN replied to beekindRN's topic in General Nursing

    She sure seems to have people wrapped around her finger. As another posted stated, I wouldn't doubt BPD. They can suck you in and make you think you're great, then turn on you on a

    No flaming. Your reply was a well worded honest opinion. With good intent. OP stated she wanted opinions. I happen to agree as
