  1. BSN minimum requirement

    Tim-GNP replied to Lburns's topic in General Nursing

    Since spreading strife is my greatest joy... I submit this idea: go to your favorite doctor, and ask him/her how many years they went to school. Ask them what kind of a degree they have. Then go to...

  2. BSN minimum requirement

    Tim-GNP replied to Lburns's topic in General Nursing

    The original post recognized the importance of a standard for entry level into practice. As I have already stated, there should be a standard. IMMEDIATELY, this begins a fight of 'who is better than...

  4. Million Nurse March Information

    Tim-GNP replied to rncountry's topic in General Nursing

    Now that you're down from the cross, RNCOUNTRY, what will your next task be? People like you who play the martyr, quite frankly, sicken me. The debate over ADN/BSN is quite legitimate. We need to...

  6. Million Nurse March Information

    Tim-GNP replied to rncountry's topic in General Nursing

    First of all wildtime...what are you doing to educate those in power as to the role of the nurse? Many nurses don't even know the role of the nurse is-- how do you expect people with business degrees...

  8. BSN minimum requirement

    Tim-GNP replied to Lburns's topic in General Nursing

    It also depends upon the structure of the BSN program. Mine was patterned off of a 3 year hospital school of nursing in the area that used to use the college for their A&P, micro & nutrition...

  10. best start in nursing

    Tim-GNP replied to V SPN's topic in General Nursing

    As always, I am usually the one who disagrees. I guess I will do so here as well. I recommend new graduates go to the field they choose. I did the obligatory year of med/surg. nursing. Want to...

  12. Million Nurse March Information

    Tim-GNP replied to rncountry's topic in General Nursing

    Why not give up this insanity and join your state nurses associations. Like it or not, your spray-painting, banner waving, head shaving, bra burning tactics will go nowhere. You might make the 6...

  14. ANA & specialty nurse organizations

    Tim-GNP replied to Tim-GNP's topic in General Nursing

    You are right JT--- When I enrolled in my basic RN program, we were required to join SNAP [it was a way out of a paper on political activity in our nursing roles course]. Ever since then I have been...

  15. You've been asked this before but.......

    Tim-GNP replied to Beth1977's topic in General Nursing

    The role of the NP is different from the PA in that a PA must always practice under the SUPERVISION of a physician. An NP-depending upon state of licensure works independent, in collaboration or...

  16. ANA & specialty nurse organizations

    Tim-GNP replied to Tim-GNP's topic in General Nursing

    Boy, el, you said a mouthful. My supervising physicians have told me the same thing [about it being expected that they join their professional organization]. They belong to AMA, but many also belong...

  17. Did you worry in nursing school?

    Tim-GNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't worry about it... I was the same way in nursing school. I had EVERY disease we studied [can you say hypochondriac???]. I was really worried when I though I was pre-eclamptic!!! The good...

  18. BOARDS: Good or bad if computer shuts down @ 75??

    Tim-GNP replied to e-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Here is a neat trick I used to do for my students.... I would call the BON a few days after their test, and inquire whether or not they are licensed. It requires date of birth, and SS#. Obviously,...

  19. Curriculum for Nursing Schools

    Tim-GNP replied to MeganWoods's topic in General Nursing

    If you have a concern about your schools curriculum, you should bring it up to your schools dean or provost/vice provost. If you get no satisfaction there, go to the National League of Nursing at:...

  20. nclex

    Tim-GNP replied to sallerella's topic in General Nursing

    Here is a neat little trick... give it 72-96 hours after your exam, then call you state board of nursing & ask if a license has been issued to you [you will have to supply social security number...

  21. What do you do for yourself?

    Tim-GNP replied to susanmary's topic in General Nursing

    Any weightlifting nurses out there? I lift 3 times a week. It is fun, gets out tension & keeps the waist in

  22. How do you work with a ***** ???

    Tim-GNP replied to soundsLikesirens's topic in General Nursing

    My advice remains unchanged... get your attempted oppressor, and give her a good verbal thrashing... WHERE NO ONE COULD HEAR. From an administrative/legal standpoint, it turns into a case of 'his [or...

  23. two year RN degree programs

    Tim-GNP replied to almostrn's topic in General Nursing

    And when I graduated from my BSN program, I lacked skills and experience as well... the only way you get skills/experience is to be a nurse and practice every day... REGARDLESS of degree, time and a...

  24. Dress Code

    Tim-GNP replied to prmenrs's topic in General Nursing

    From a legal standpoint, if the facility did not require a dress code as part of your condition for hire [i.e., gave you in writing what you should wear in writing, in the form of an employee...

  25. Incompetent Nurses.. Why are they working?

    Tim-GNP replied to Cherie's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, if you do not report even "suspected" abuse, [regardless of verbal, physical, emotional, psychological] to your state's ombudsman and DOH, YOU are EVERY BIT AS GUILTY AS THE PERSON WHO...
