    Rn-BSN/MSN...I have a couple questions

    Super_RN replied to RNursingStudent's topic in General Nursing

    I obtained my BSN from Indiana Wesleyan University online (very nice program and very reasonable IMO). Yes, I had papers due, but I think with any online program you'll find that. Good luck on your...

    which shift do you prefer and why?

    Super_RN replied to nrsman1's topic in General Nursing

    I personally loved the 12 hour shifts (not now that I have a baby at home though!!). A patient will have 3 nurses per day w/ 8 hour shifts. They will only have 2 nurses per day w/ 12 hour shifts. I...

    Any Discharge Planners Out There?

    Super_RN replied to gypsyatheart's topic in Case Management

    I don't want to sound negative, but the following is my experience. Hopefully it was just the institution and not the job. I just quit my DCP job. It was horrendous--our hospital did not have a...

    Super_RN replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    It is illegal in my state to be asked why you are calling off, although it doesn't stop them from asking. I always tell them I have diarrhea. I'm sure they think I have intestinal issues (not that...

    I agree. I can't stand when people complain about everything but don't do a dang thing to help the problem. And that's not directed towards anyone, just a peeve that collaborates w/ daily life in...
