    difference in degrees

    RNsRWe replied to skbella's topic in General Nursing

    Disagree? not necessary......Actually, you've just agreed to my point, thank you :) All the rest isn't what I was commenting on. The POINT was the OP wondered why her BSN was not considered "the same...

    difference in degrees

    RNsRWe replied to skbella's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, I'm right there with ya :) Funny thing is, you'd think this most recent crop of college grads would have had the benefit of seeing the job trends, but I can point to several friends' kids who now...

    difference in degrees

    RNsRWe replied to skbella's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but how did you conclude this? Someone with an ADN (nursing) is "more educated" than someone with a BSN (nursing)? While she may have a better 'general' education because of more 'gen ed'...

    difference in degrees

    RNsRWe replied to skbella's topic in General Nursing

    Simply put, you have earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, not a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. They aren't looked at the same because....they're not interchangeable Bachelor degrees. Did you...

    Need all white shoes for clinicals.. Suggestions??

    RNsRWe replied to future_nurse11's topic in General Students

    Honestly, this is a really bad question....and NOT because it's not worth asking, it IS....it's just that every single person who responds is going to tell you the shoe that was AMAZING for her, and...

    Don't think my marriage will survive night shift

    RNsRWe replied to adpiRN's topic in General Nursing

    Guaranteed uninterrupted sleep? So you will never be woken up with a toddler 'situation'? Or a phone call that just HAS to be dealt with now? I'm hoping in the therapy sessions you can make him...

    Then he should certainly understand what it's like when HE wakes YOU at 3:30 pm, which is your equivalent to his early-morning parenting experience. Control issues....etc....couples therapy sounds...

    NCLEX PVT

    RNsRWe replied to tnmatt76's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, panicking has never produced a good result for anyone, so I'd suggest doing something to calm yourself down now :) Pay the eight bucks for Quick Results; at least you'll be certain of a pass or...

    Is it possible to not work in a hospital as a new nurse?

    RNsRWe replied to Brooke2009's topic in General Nursing

    BSN not being required isn't the same as BSN not being preferred. The rarer the opportuntity, the higher the competition....and where competition is high, minimum standards tend to go out the window....

    RNsRWe replied to mrsnurse2014's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    THIS would be EXACTLY why I can't stand the idea of every kid getting a blue ribbon because he entered the race, regardless of performance.....or a trophy handed out because the kid had the very...

    Masters Degree

    RNsRWe replied to doubled27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can't stress enough how VERY premature this conversation is...with us, and with your parents. First you need to get INTO nursing school....GRADUATE from nursing school....PASS the licensing...

    Sizing

    RNsRWe replied to MewChiiLi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Trying to picture how one's shoe size is the least bit relevant....? I'm certain you already know where to buy shoes, yes? As for height, again, a non-issue. If you can do the job it won't matter if...

    How to Contact Pearson to change my number?

    RNsRWe replied to EquinoxSolstice92's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just did a quick search online and found this page: Customer Service :: CompTIA There's a "Chat Online" option that might be helpful, if you can clearly and concisely explain in a chat dialogue box...

    Kaplan isn't nationally accredited, what does that mean?

    RNsRWe replied to MegsBerryJam's topic in General Nursing

    You'd also be SOL on Federal jobs as well. Must have national accreditation to be considered for

    NCLEX PVT

    RNsRWe replied to tnmatt76's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You definitely do NOT want to try the trick immediately after completing the exam. Since your exam is scored twice, and you won't know at what point your scoring is complete during the following 24...
