  1. Nyc question

    mcorrao77 replied to joe134's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

  2. Thinking about LPN instead of Rn now.

    mcorrao77 replied to CrystalClear75's topic in LPN to RN

    long term

  3. Graduate nurse of 4-year BS program

    mcorrao77 replied to TRYtryAGAIN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    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...

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

    mcorrao77 replied to BernadetteRNBSN's topic in Operating Room

    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...

  6. Questions about OR for a nursing student

    mcorrao77 posted a topic in Operating Room

    HI! I am wondering about the OR. I will be graduating from an accelerated nursing program in NY this August and was EXTREMELY interested in the OR. However, I just had my first real experience in the...

  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....

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

    mcorrao77 replied to okie2's topic in Diploma, 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...

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

    mcorrao77 replied to okie2's topic in Diploma, 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....

  10. 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...

  11. nursing therorist

    mcorrao77 replied to onduty23's topic in General Students

    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...

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

    mcorrao77 replied to okie2's topic in Diploma, 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...

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

    mcorrao77 replied to okie2's topic in Diploma, 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...

  14. I Need Advice. May Lose Rn License!!

    mcorrao77 replied to Shell5's topic in Legal

    Well

  15. I Need Advice. May Lose Rn License!!

    mcorrao77 replied to Shell5's topic in Legal

    However, the CNA was hired as a CNA, not a GPN or GVN. This is different. The nurse should know what she can delegate and what she can't. Bottom

  16. Are there any nures/students with another degree

    mcorrao77 replied to felesha843's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have a BS in Human Ecology (basically alot of people classes, family classes, and child developmental classes) with a minor in nutrition. I will have my BSN this August!! If anyone has a BS degree...

  17. Considering home health nursing

    mcorrao77 replied to cydney7's topic in Home Health

    I'm still a nursing student and I went out with a home health nurse last Friday and LOVED IT!!!!! I never thought I would. I graduate in August and I'm going to apply at a hospital that has a home...

  18. NY vs.NJ jobs

    mcorrao77 replied to CatsLover's topic in New York Nursing

    I think for an extra fee you can be registered in both states. But I'm not entirely sure. However, I have several professors that are registered in NY and PA, since I have some clinicals in PA as...

  19. Questions about OR for a nursing student

    mcorrao77 replied to mcorrao77's topic in Operating Room

    I totally agree with you. From what the other posters wrote, they are very active in patient care. I just didn't see that at the hospital I was in. It seemed to me the nurses were more interested in...

  20. Questions about OR for a nursing student

    mcorrao77 replied to mcorrao77's topic in Operating Room

    Thank you so much for your input!! I'm very interested in the OR. I find it fascinating, when I was there yesterday I couldn't get close enough too see what was going on. I'm going to take all of your...

  21. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    mcorrao77 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My BSN program is not "a lot of those memorizing facts and spitting them out" schools. I will be prepared for the NCLEX by utilizing my critical thinking skills and my knowledge of nursing by...

  22. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    mcorrao77 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree with you 100%!! My BSN program is exactly like this. When I first applied to nursing school, I was thinking "Great, no papers!!" (Since I hated writing papers in my first college degree...

  23. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    mcorrao77 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    but, if all the nurses started out on the same foot (bsn), then maybe there won't be so much animousity between the two degree levels. we would all be "equal". not saying that we aren't now!! we are,...

  24. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    mcorrao77 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    if nys changes its requirements then the "old" adn would be grandfathered in and any new adn grads will have a period of time to get their bsn. like i said before, i was looking into adn, but for me...

  25. Which road to take? LPN or RN?

    mcorrao77 replied to kbean04's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think the difference with ADN vs. BSN is that if you ever want to further your education and get your Masters it's easier. Plus, many of the hospitals in major cities (New York City, for example)...
