  2. The Older Nurse in the Workplace

    1Tulip replied to rpv_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, dear... I've never fit in with my "peer group". I'm 56 My first degree in nursing was the BSN in 1971. I'm going back into acute care after a 15 year hiatus I'm looking forward to working 12...

  3. Doctorate for Advanced Practice Nursing??

    1Tulip replied to bookwormom's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yeah, the entry level into nursing is a big issue. I don't know how I feel about it. The proliferation of letters is another issue, but I agree with llg about that. (Why would I want a degree I had...

  4. Doctorate for Advanced Practice Nursing??

    1Tulip replied to bookwormom's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It would be a ghetto degree, in the sense that it would be exclusive for NP's. It suggests, for example, that Clinical Nurse Specialists can't be educated to the level of a practice doctorate....

  5. personal nursing philosophy

    1Tulip replied to GeminiInLove's topic in General Nursing

    Should your professional philosophy be any different than your every-day-walking around philosophy? Integrity and humility. If I can get those in balance, I'll be a good person and a great

  6. Is professor homophobic or just tough?

    1Tulip replied to RISC601's topic in Male Nursing Students

    If she treats your inadequacies and mistakes the same way she treats those of the others in your clinical group, you have your answer. It's no, she's not homophobic. And as an aside, that's a...

  7. GA student need HELP/ADVICE

    1Tulip replied to 2bnurseguy_2005's topic in Georgia Nursing

    If you want to teach, you'll have more grad school options if you get the BSN. Since you have a bachelor's degree, look into programs that can give you an accelerated

  8. Your State Nurses' Association

    1Tulip posted a topic in General Nursing

    Why do you belong to your State Nurses' Association? If you don't, why

  9. Is it just me?

    1Tulip replied to antihippie's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Like Mama, I hesitate to barge in on guy-talk. I'd just like to say that I've taught nursing on the ADN, BSN, and MSN levels and if there had been that kind of hugging, and babying going on, I'd have...

  10. Your State Nurses' Association

    1Tulip replied to 1Tulip's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes! $500 IS prohibitive. I think mine are half that and the bulk of it goes to the national organization. Our state ass'n really runs on a shoe string and still manages to do some good

  11. Information On Nursing School Before 1972

    1Tulip replied to buggyjoe8039's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    OMG you guys make me feel so old. I graduated from the University of Tennessee Memphis in 1971. It was about a five year program because they had many, many liberal arts pre-req's that were taken...

  12. Essay Help!(very long)

    1Tulip replied to BuddyGwen's topic in General Nursing

    That's an interesting question. A judgement call. You sort of have to know your audience. I don't think it would be wrong. Certainly appropriate to mention future hopes and goals in such an essay....

  13. Your State Nurses' Association

    1Tulip replied to 1Tulip's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I was asking about the professional organization. But in a lot of states, the Professional org. is also the biggest collective bargaining unit for nurses. That is not the case here. Some...

  14. Essay Help!(very long)

    1Tulip replied to BuddyGwen's topic in General Nursing

    Yo, BuddyGwen, did they specify/require the essay to be a certain number of pages? If I were on that admissions committee, that would be the LAST thing I'd want to require. But KatyBell made some...

  15. Essay Help!(very long)

    1Tulip replied to BuddyGwen's topic in General Nursing

    I've helped people write application essays. What I would tell you here is that less is more. You're saying a whole, whole lot of stuff, a lot of it really good, some not so relevant. The reason...

  16. Moral character review

    1Tulip replied to mismissy69's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, what is this? Is this a routine background check before they give a license to a new applicant, or was there something in your background that prompted a specific

  17. Surgeons throwing tantrums in OR... (VENT)

    1Tulip replied to Keely-FutureRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's been... let's see... well, many, many years since I worked in OR. And this post could have been written just as well then as now. Some things just don't change. I think the responses have...

  18. New Student needing some serious advice

    1Tulip replied to swillie02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think all of these are good suggestions and you should look into them. But if you read these pages very much you'll discover a LOT of nurses have achieved their RN license in increments. The most...

  19. Getting staff to "own" the unit

    1Tulip replied to nursemaa's topic in Nurse Management

    My apologies to Turk. I painted with a very broad brush and it was a picture that certainly did not apply. I am not in management for very obvious reasons. If I am being paid, I feel it's a part...

  20. Getting staff to "own" the unit

    1Tulip replied to nursemaa's topic in Nurse Management

    Am I missing something here? The hospital/unit/management want nurses to attend planning sessions and committee meetings and do other things all on their OWN TIME? What that means is the...

  21. Kicked out of CNA because of RX

    1Tulip replied to Shannon RN 2be's topic in General Nursing

    You know... if this is of supreme importance to the OP, her long-held dream, I'm wondering the following. It seems to me that her using the fentanyl patch indicates she has been under the care of a...

  22. Kicked out of CNA because of RX

    1Tulip replied to Shannon RN 2be's topic in General Nursing

    You know, this is going to come down to a matter of statutes, most likely the Nurse Practice Act. Until the OP has something concrete from the State Board, then she will always be running into...

  23. Kicked out of CNA because of RX

    1Tulip replied to Shannon RN 2be's topic in General Nursing

    CuteCNA raised an issue that I wondered about. I don't believe that schools can ask you about your prescribed drugs. And I wouldn't have any problem telling the OP to find another CNA program and...

  24. Kicked out of CNA because of RX

    1Tulip replied to Shannon RN 2be's topic in General Nursing

    Michelle, if your conditions are well controlled on medication, you shouldn't have any problems with school or practice. If they refused every one on medication, there would be NO

  25. Kicked out of CNA because of RX

    1Tulip replied to Shannon RN 2be's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa, wait a minute. Are you using a fentanyl patch? If so, do you have short acting opiates for break-through? I have two real concerns here. 1. I agree with the posters who've said there are...
