1. Nyc question

   mcorrao77 replied to joe134's topic in New York

   I don't think that they are requiring that you have a BSN, I think that they 'prefer' it. I think that if you have an AD with experience the hospital will also hire you. If they only hire BSN prepared nurses, they are missing out on all the great ADN...

3. Graduate nurse of 4-year BS program

   mcorrao77 replied to TRYtryAGAIN's topic in NCLEX

   I also have a BSN and I highly recommend Kaplan's Qbank. It's a little pricey at $300, but it's well worth it. It keeps track of what questions you answer correctly and incorrectly and gives you a rationale as to why the question is correct. I am a H...

   Thanks for the input Marie LPN and Corvette Guy! :)

5. help! Are surgical techs and RNs the same??

   mcorrao77 replied to BernadetteRNBSN's topic in Operating Room

   Okay, this may be a stupid question, but I have to ask. Does a RNFA act in the same role as the scrub or circulating nurse? What is the difference with a RNFA? I thought, I could be way off base, that you had to go for more schooling to be a RNFA. Is...

   I also am very interesed in RNFA. I have been looking into a hospital in Manhattan that has a orientation for new grads in the OR. I will be applying there. I take my NCLEX Jan 24, 2006. Hope I pass!!

7. Questions about OR for a nursing student

   mcorrao77 replied to mcorrao77's topic in Operating Room

   Thanks for understanding caffeinatedstudent. I actually got my last rotation for my senior clinicals in the OR. Hopefully, it will give me a better understanding of the whole process. I graduate Aug. 12 and counting... Good luck with your nursing cl...

8. Introductions:"New" and "Old" Students.

   mcorrao77 replied to Love-A-Nurse's topic in General Students

   Hi! I will graduate August 12 (and counting) with my BSN. This is my second BS degree. I did an accelerated program in upstate NY that lasted one year.

9. sick of ADN vs BSN! like most of us have a choice anyway!

   mcorrao77 replied to okie2's topic in ADN/BSN

   I am not saying to take out loans to help your credit. That's ridiculous. What I am saying is that it doesn't hinder your credit rating. And still nobody answers the question as to why does every other major need at least a BS, BA why should nursing...

10. sick of ADN vs BSN! like most of us have a choice anyway!

    mcorrao77 replied to okie2's topic in ADN/BSN

    The ADN program does not prepare student nurses better than the BSN level. How can you say having less education would be more beneficial than having more? Every other major in college is a BS or BA. Plain and simple. Why is nursing different? And wh...

11. What are the pros of getting your BSN?

    mcorrao77 replied to browsing's topic in General Students

    EXACTLY!! I am so sick of people saying that the BSN student does not know how to perform nursing skills. I would rather take Patho I & II, pharm, research classes, leadership classes, and a whole other array of classes to have the knowledge base...

    I don't know what kind of careplan that you are working on, but here is a list of some nursing theorists: Erickson, Tomlin, & Swain: Model & Role Model Newman, M.: Expanding Consciousness Watson, J.: Caring Orem, D.: Self-care Roy, C.: Adapt...

13. sick of ADN vs BSN! like most of us have a choice anyway!

    mcorrao77 replied to okie2's topic in ADN/BSN

    I totally agree. We are the only profession that has so many entry levels. Why is that? I feel that every other person in the health care setting needs at least a BS, why should the nurse be any different? But, I also understand that with the nursing...

    mcorrao77 replied to okie2's topic in ADN/BSN

    Hi! I will be graduating from a BSN program this August and it only took me ONE year to get my BSN (but it was an accelerated program).... much, much cheaper than going to my local community college and less time. Now, I just have to pass my NCLEX, ...
