  1. Other Side of the "Clinicals" Coin

    mushyrn replied to krisiepoo's topic in General Students

    Ok, I've been a nurse since 2012 and I would have no problem with a student asking me WHY the patient is in the hospital. Or, asking me when to use CPR. It is a valid question and some nervous...

  2. Might not graduate over FB

    mushyrn replied to BookWorming's topic in General Students

    If that's ALL you posted, I think that's a stupid reason for not allowing you to graduate. However, it was NOT a professional thing to do, and nurses have to hold a professional image, at work and in...

  3. Associate and Diploma RNs

    mushyrn replied to 20plusyearRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Unfortunately (for some), the BSN is the wave of the future. I started as an ADN and quickly obtained my BSN afterwards with zero debt incurred, instead of going straight into a 50K BSN program. I'm...

  4. Night shift, days off can't get out of bed.

    mushyrn replied to ArmaniX's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I try to wake up around 2pm on my days off. That helps a

  5. Nervous about beginning work in a Sub-Acute/SNF

    mushyrn replied to rnaria's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If it "can" reach 1:30 it most likely IS 1:30, haha. I would never take a job with 1:30… unless I was completely broke and nearly bankrupt. I started in SNF and it can be dangerous depending on...

  6. What is your quote or mantra when it gets tough?

    mushyrn replied to Lola Lou's topic in First Year After Licensure

    "I'm off tomorrow. And I'm not back for X

  7. Leaving 1st job before 1 year

    mushyrn replied to UpennRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nine months? Stick it out for three more, seriously. You'll love yourself for it. I mean, you could try to apply for other hospital jobs in the meantime, and possibly by the time they get back to...

  8. 2 year degree?

    mushyrn replied to SeanPN777's topic in Nursing Career

    It all depends. As an ADN or BSN the chances are high you may not get your dream job right after graduation. I graduated as an ADN in 2012 and finished my BSN in 2013. It was entirely doable. You...

  9. What to do about a classmate that is a pathological liar?

    mushyrn replied to Brilton's topic in General Students

    Stay out of it. Seriously. Nobody likes classmates who research them behind their backs, and nobody likes obnoxious liars. I had a similar classmate in nursing school and he eventually got the

  10. Becoming a nurse

    mushyrn replied to jencmccutcheon88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe take the prerequisites now as your friend suggested and later you could complete nursing school once they are in school themselves. Once you are a working nurse you could work 3 days a week and...

  11. Missing my partner :*(

    mushyrn replied to RainbowzLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I logged in just to say that I'm so sorry for your loss.

  12. Hesi for uta?

    mushyrn replied to inmyskin's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    That may be for the BSN program. I just finished in December & was not required to take the HESI. Sent from my iPhone using

  13. Capstone NURS 4585 start date 2/24/2014

    mushyrn replied to supnurse's topic in University of Texas Arlington

  14. vulnerable population 2/24/2014

    mushyrn replied to ladyD123's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    When I took the class I didn't use graphs in the papers. We had to write it all out (painful haha). And I actually took the time to read assigned readings for this class. They were interesting to...

  15. Capstone NURS 4585 start date 2/24/2014

    mushyrn replied to supnurse's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Capstone is a breeze compared to research & vulnerable populations. Good luck guys! It will definitely feel amazing turning in that last assignment. Sent from my iPhone using

  16. UT Arlington RN-BSN

    mushyrn replied to nida007's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    The RN to BSN program assumes you have already completed your RN clinical rotation needs and requires that you are currently working. There are some community/work based projects that you have to do....

  17. College Algebra 08/19

    mushyrn replied to twindad85's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I would say take it at a community college. UTA algebra has a horrible reputation on these boards and that's why I didn't take it with UTA. Sent from my iPhone using

  18. New RN; I want to quit my job already.

    mushyrn replied to irishlynn5's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You only work 3 nights a week - use those other 4 days to rest and have fun. Leave work at work. There are other nurses to take care of those patients when you're gone. Skills take time to get...

  19. Registered nurses with an Associate degree...

    mushyrn replied to Gaby_rmz77's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It really depends on where you live. Large city areas will probably be more focused on BSN nurses, while more rural areas would probably be fine with ADN nurses due to lack of BSN prepared nurses....

  20. Can you get hired somewhere with an Associate Degree in Nursing...??

    mushyrn replied to Gaby_rmz77's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I did, but I started in rehab/LTC and home health. While doing that I finished my BSN, and I'm in a hospital

  21. A waste of time getting ADN

    mushyrn replied to workinprogress413's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Look outside the hospital, and work on your BSN in the meantime. It's what I

  22. Kindly review my resume please

    mushyrn replied to cavitenurse1990's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would definitely take off the personal data section. Also, I'd explain somehow what I've done since 2010 that is nursing

  23. Offering money to switch clinical sites? Ethical?

    mushyrn replied to chewychipsahoy's topic in General Students

    Are you serious? Leave it alone. Focus on

  24. CAPSTONE Start: 11/4/2013

    mushyrn replied to chicagoRNlove's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Ahhhh it's over!! It's so exciting. And the class really wasn't too bad at all, at least in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using
