    A New Day: A New Psychological Contract with Night Nurses

    NurseGirl525 replied to RoxyDi's topic in General Students

    But what do you suggest? In all honesty. Things happen at night. Traumas, bowel perforations, strokes, heart attacks.... They don't happen between the hours of 9-5. What do we do? Yes, it is...

    ODDS of getting a JOB

    NurseGirl525 replied to Oleacronon's topic in General Students

    I have no idea. What is your job market like? What does your resume look like? Do you interview well? No random person on the Internet can tell you this. Your best bet would have been to research...

    Do Bachelor's Degrees Save Lives? - The Facts about Earning a BSN

    NurseGirl525 replied to Rasmussen University's topic in General Nursing

    I understand that there needs to be some sponsored articles on here. I get that. But this is written by a for profit college. In my area, BSN nurses do not make an additional $7000/year. They make...

    Bad preceptors and the demotivated state of nursing.

    NurseGirl525 replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    This is how it is for us. We are assigned patients. The nurses are asked if it is ok ahead of time if a student can follow them. If there is a procedure the nurse is comfortable with students...

    Blogger attacks nurses. Help!

    NurseGirl525 replied to ladymadonna32's topic in Nursing News

    I went and read this because I was interested in what was said. No where in there does he say nurses are overpaid. You volunteered your income to him which I never would have done. He said doctors...

    NurseGirl525 replied to emmjayy's topic in General Students

    I love my Littman cardiology stethoscope. I think it's great for beginners because you can hear so clearly with it. I like my Danskos but I also have weak ankles so they give out in them. But my...

    NurseGirl525 replied to stephey's topic in General Students

    Have you spoken with your instructor first about this? There is a chain of command to follow and this should have been made clear at your program orientation how it goes. You almost had me until you...

    43% or Higher on TEAS

    NurseGirl525 replied to vaneets15's topic in General Students

    No, let me guess, a very expensive, for profit school? A program that only requires a 43% on the Teas which is a basic knowledge test, is in my opinion, a very subpar school that only wants to put...

    Moving for Nursing School

    NurseGirl525 replied to stefsteph's topic in General Students

    Before you make the move, talk with some financial aid officers at each school to see how you are going to pay for it. ABSN programs are very expensive and with you already having a previous degree,...

    Starting with an associate's degree?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Dgardella's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You think bedside nurses should have their masters? Why? Why would you think that? You think bedside nurses should have prescribing privileges? By requiring bedside nurses to have their masters,...

    NurseGirl525 replied to littleukno's topic in General Students

    Personally, I would fix your personal life first. That's causing you the most stress right now, then see about getting back into school. I'm also going to say, do not under any circumstances...

    Nurse residency programs--be aware!!

    NurseGirl525 replied to LexiRN6's topic in General Students

    Wow. I had no idea things like that existed. I'm sorry $12.38/HR for a RN position? Whether or not it is a large hospital, that is crazy, I'm sorry. I get paid more than that as a tech. You do...

    Parent Faked Order?

    NurseGirl525 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    Can I just ask a question here, and excuse me for my ignorance, but here where I live, school nurses do not need prescriptions for OTC medications, so I'm wondering why so many on here do? Parents...

    credit checks

    NurseGirl525 replied to srercg's topic in General Nursing

    That is not why your friend did not get a job. Did they actually offer your friend the job? Did she have a job offer in hand?? They don't do the credit and background check until after they decide...

    NurseGirl525 replied to ashelly's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, I'm going to say you didn't get into the nursing program because you need to complete the prereqs and entrance exam needed to apply. You are still in high school, correct? The best thing for you...

    Are ABSN programs even an option for me?

    NurseGirl525 replied to cms_93's topic in General Students

    That C- is probably not going to fly. At my school anything less than a C is failing. You may want to see if you can retake them. ABSN programs are very
