  1. Should BSNs be paid more?

    A recurring thread on this forum is that nurses are not paid enough. I believe many ADN's would continue their education for $3, $4 or $5 more an hour. If in the distant future having a BSN does...
  2. Should BSNs be paid more?

    I'm not sure I understand why some are so adamant about not receiving higher pay for more education. Wouldn't an increased hourly rate be a nice incentive for nurses to continue their education? Other...
  3. A&P classes, too full too soon

    Thank you Elizabeth, yes it is a huge relief! YES! I am so happy that this is the final week! This has been one heck of a hard summer, but like you, I'm ready for more! -
  4. A&P classes, too full too soon

    I'm more than all set, that was the teacher I really wanted! Thanx :) Yeah, there's usually a reason why 1 teacher has so many open spots left this late in the game -
  5. BSN vs ADN Education?????

    I will never understand why this topic (or PA vs NP, or CRNA vs assistant anesthetist for that matter), has to "open a can of worms". If one is satisfied with the route one has chosen, why does it...
  6. A&P classes, too full too soon

    Great advice! Thanks all. -
  7. A&P classes, too full too soon

    no problem. you're right, using a teacher's name was not prudent,
  8. Britney demanding background checks for her L&D nurses..

    I think you do, or you wouldn't keep checking this
  9. I live in New Mexico, there doesn't appear to be an accredited school here (none to be found on the 'aana' web site). Are these the only schools available or acceptable for CRNA? Are there any rumors...
  10. special certifications?

    Are these classes taken during regular working hours (are nurses still paid while attending)? If not, do hospitals usually pay for the training? Thanks,
  11. Why on earth does no one make eye contact?

    I'm noticing an annoying trend at school - cell phone use while attempting to walk. I have had to almost dive out of the way because they're oblivious to anything else around them. Usually it's not...
  12. A little distressed, accused of stealing....

    Sounds like they're asking (not necessarily accusing) everyone. I wouldn't worry. -
  13. My Boss (his office) is the Doctor ..oh boy

    I'm only a pre-nursing student (read, still a long way to go), I wouldn't undermine him in front of the patient, but it would be OK, healthy infact, to discuss your concerns with him privately. -...
  14. Deflating Moment for a Soon to be New Grad

    The pay intrigued me (I'm a pre-nursing student), so I looked for jobs online in my area. There were very few compared to nursing. The idea of having guaranteed work when I graduate from nursing...
  15. Very nice!! Thank you for posting this. -
  16. Excuse me, but looking at this thread I am unable to find her saying what you quote. What I do see her saying is, "He has essentially sat by himself awake for 4 hours at the longest, many times"...
  17. new students - what do you fear most?

    I'm afraid of doing, or watching, things done to others that I can't even watch being done on TV. In real life I won't be allowed to peek through my partially opened fingers Also, the smell, sound,...
  18. Summer quarter too short for Anatomy class?

    Yes, 50 hours a week seems ubsurd to me as well. If you studied M-F that would be 10 hours a
  19. Staying awake to read!!

    I hate to be a spoil sport, but a friend of mine went to the hospital because the whites of her eyes were so yellow, the doctor's answer, "too many energy drinks!" Rats, I loved those things too:( -...
