  1. Still don't get the BSN ADN thing...

    applesxoranges replied to tarotale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well, I think the university hospital is union whereas the non-union hospitals pay more. However the university hospital has better and cheaper benefits so it kind of evens out. From what I have heard...

  2. AA in Liberal Arts

    applesxoranges replied to Peanut&Buttercup's topic in General Students

    If you're in an ADN program, I would not. You may not be eligible for financial aid if you have a previous degree. Talk to the financial counselors first and find out the SAP rules. If you plan on...

  3. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    applesxoranges replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    It depends on the actual programs. Have you looked at the curriculum and compared them? Most of the BSN schools around me have a comparable amount of lecture and clinicals to the ADN schools. What...

  4. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    applesxoranges replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    It is unfair to compare the two degrees. To say one is harder than the other is incorrect. Many different factors go into the programs and it is only fair to say whether each individual program is...

  5. Still don't get the BSN ADN thing...

    applesxoranges replied to tarotale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Do you think that the reason why we keep the general education credits in the BSN programs because that's the way the US did it for years? Imagine how many jobs would be let go if they did not require...

  6. Still don't get the BSN ADN thing...

    applesxoranges replied to tarotale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    "If you don't think a general education is important, it doesn't say anything flattering about you." Very childish. General education is overrated and should be removed from the curriculum. A three...

  7. nursing students take stna test

    applesxoranges replied to sheirry's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Really? That's strange. Our hospitals in the Toledo area still hire nursing students from LPN, ADN, and BSN programs without the STNA after they complete either their first semester or the first two...

  8. Family Contract

    applesxoranges replied to 3rdGenRN's topic in General Students

    In all honesty, there has to be some level of flexibility. I work nights so there is an understanding that if guests come over, I may not see them at all because I can't pick my work schedule. I will...

    applesxoranges replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in General Students

    Also, emailing the instructor about the syllabus usually had a positive

  10. accessing a port for just one blood draw

    applesxoranges replied to Ted D's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends. My new job mentioned that the new doctors in the cancer center affiliated with the hospital was upset that the ports weren't being used more often and patients were being stuck....

  11. Does your hospital or facility badge include your credentials?

    applesxoranges replied to icuRNmaggie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  12. My school says to only buy books from their bookstore...

    applesxoranges replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in General Students

    It could potentially be an issue. One publisher allowed the school to custom build online content and it was packaged with it. I think it was Cengage and it was for their custom lab manual though. All...

  13. Psych nursing education group activity?

    applesxoranges replied to stargirl018's topic in General Students

    Wow, our groups were easy. Try turning it into a trivia game or

  14. Still don't get the BSN ADN thing...

    applesxoranges replied to tarotale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It still questions whether it is applicable in the US though in terms of the bachelors. It also leads to question what type of other education the nurses had. What is their vocational training? They...

  15. New ADN Grad no previous med experience

    applesxoranges replied to FLboundBSN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    ACLS isn't hard to get so it won't really set you apart. If you go for ACLS though, find a location that offers

  16. gfs scrubs are kinda see through

    applesxoranges replied to robert1043's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'd encourage her to buy bigger pants or to buy darker pants. Wearing black pants with a light colored top looks

  17. Triage Practices

    applesxoranges replied to applesxoranges's topic in Emergency

    You know how registration is usually at a counter? That's the triage nurse here. The triage nurse gets the complaint and basic info like name and birth date. They do not do vitals. They do not get the...

  19. Still don't get the BSN ADN thing...

    applesxoranges replied to tarotale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    They usually have to get their degree evaluated by a commission that specializes in foreign nursing schools. If it meets the boards' standards, then they take the NCLEX in my state. I don't know how...

  20. Any LPNs Buffalo,ny area LPN>RN? Also excelsior

    applesxoranges replied to cmm4ever's topic in LPN to RN

    Some people love Excelsior. Some people hate it. Some people love it and find out they cannot become an RN in California if that was their initial RN training (unless they already completed the...

  21. Who determines if you are a RN.

    applesxoranges replied to DXHX's topic in General Students

    A big question is what was going on that caused her to prejudge you? Were you talking? Were you not answering

  22. Still don't get the BSN ADN thing...

    applesxoranges replied to tarotale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The biggest question is how does a European bachelors compare to a BSN in the US? One component is that in some cases, they remove the "fluff" classes that I do not agree with requiring (like fine...

  23. ADN nurse with Non Nursing Bachelors

    applesxoranges replied to PedsNurse15's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Frontier has a MSN program and I think they have an RN to MSN portion and a RN with another bachelors direct entry MSN program for CNM, FNP, and women's health NP. They're in most

    applesxoranges replied to mmichelle93's topic in General Students

  25. Still don't get the BSN ADN thing...

    applesxoranges replied to tarotale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    One thing that did bother me is that it's hard to come up with research articles in last three or four years about BSN graduates have better outcomes. When I was looking in depth a few months ago, it...
