  1. Needing a little input/advice from the guys...

    EdBSN09 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    To begin, let me say that what got me interested in nursing in the first place was ER nursing. I worked at a small, rural hospital for a couple of years doing ER registration on the weekends, and then...

  2. Nurse to patient law

    EdBSN09 replied to Mirth's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Update: I was able to find out some more information myself. The bill is now called HB2548, and was again referred to the "rules committee" back in March of 2006. A full and complete text version is...

  3. Nurse to patient law

    EdBSN09 replied to Mirth's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Does anybody know the current status of this? As of 3/10/2005, the bill was "re-referred to the rules committee." (See Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB2544 ) What does this mean? Has the...

  4. Getting to know the men behind the names...

    EdBSN09 replied to irwin's topic in Male Nursing Students

    21 y/o nursing student here. Was going to be a radiology tech straight out of high school, but decided that I wanted to be more involved in the whole process. I also started working at a level 1...

  5. African-American male Nurse Practitioners

    EdBSN09 replied to Geoff's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    While I am not African American, I am a male in the nursing world. It seems as if male nursing professionals are becoming more accepted, but there still aren't many of us. I'm one of three male...

  8. Anyone ever think about becoming a radiology tech before nursing?

    EdBSN09 replied to ttran's topic in General Nursing

    I thought about it, as well. I chose nursing because of the pay, job outlook, and flexibility. Nursing is a totally unique profession. Radiology technicians also enjoy a lot of great career options,...

  9. Pay Scale for Flight Nurses?

    EdBSN09 replied to student4ever's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    I think nursing in general is a profession that you must have your heart in to succeed. By the same token, I don't think anyone should starve to death because they're doing something "because of...

  10. Nursing student with management aspirations and questions

    EdBSN09 posted a topic in Nurse Management

    Hello, everyone, I'm a student currently pursuing my BSN, and I will graduate in 2008 (despite my name :-)). I'm interested in the informatics field, but even more interested in management. I do have...

  11. Backgruond?

    EdBSN09 replied to -Midget-'s topic in Nursing Informatics

    Very interesting thread. I'm interested in pursuing infomatics as my specialty, as well. After I graduate nursing school, I'm going to go to the local public university and go for a computer science...

  12. Forest Park and Alexius Hospitals

    EdBSN09 replied to rclimbr's topic in General Nursing

    EDIT I'm interested to continue this conversation with you, but perhaps it's not the best idea for me as an employee to post operating information about the hospital on a public forum. I sent my reply...

  13. difficulty in finding job while in school/st louis area

    EdBSN09 replied to carlarenee02's topic in General Nursing

    Try St. Luke's Hospital in Chesterfield. Several people I know from school have gotten jobs there as PCTs. You needn't have any clinical experience--they'll train you. I think they've still got a few...

  15. NP job market/job availability

    EdBSN09 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I posted a similar thread a few weeks ago, but I would like more generalized information about the job market for nurse practitioners. Ideally, I'd like to work solo or with a group of other nurse...

  16. Working and NP program?

    EdBSN09 replied to ICRN2008's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've wondered the same thing. I'm currently enrolled in a BSN program, working 40+ hours per week and taking 17 credit hours. So far, I have found it challenging, but not impossible. But, I am also...

  17. Considering NP after BSN--a few questions

    EdBSN09 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello everyone, I'm currently enrolled in a BSN program and will graduate in 2008. My plan then is to move back home for awhile to save up some money, then go to grad school. I'd really like to end up...

  18. Considering NP after BSN--a few questions

    EdBSN09 replied to EdBSN09's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for the info. Do you see the job market for NPs in general as being good? I don't have any particular rural area in mind, but I worked in a small, rural hospital before I came to the city. I...

  19. Got any funny acronyms at your ER???

    EdBSN09 replied to RNin92's topic in Emergency

    T&BB=Tylenol & a bye-bye Code S in room ________=Code Stupid/less than pleasant patient Sorry if these were repeats---I didn't read the entire

  20. Ohhhhh your a Nurse!?!?

    EdBSN09 replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    This attitude is unfortunately present at a lot of places. I work in registration, and where I used to work (a large, inner-city academic trauma center), most of the RNs treated everyone (including...

  21. What is the complaint with nursing salaries?

    EdBSN09 replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    SmilingBluEyes: Thank you, Deb (if I may call you by your first name). I appreciate your interest. I will definitely still be around here in five years. I hope to have positive things to report about...

  22. What is the complaint with nursing salaries?

    EdBSN09 replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps I should clarify further. I'm not sure who this particular comment was directed at, but I'll assume it was me. I'm not saying that complaints about compensation are baseless. But I am saying...

  23. What is the complaint with nursing salaries?

    EdBSN09 replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    I've been wondering this same thing. A $35,000-$40,000 starting salary in this area is definitely in line with many other occupations, and out ahead of a good number of them. According to Salary.com,...

  24. the pros & cons of being a nurse

    EdBSN09 replied to Georgiana*'s topic in General Nursing

    I've also noticed this. I work as a Registrar in an inner-city hospital ER. Triage sees the patients first, then we call to our offices to interview them, or interview them at the bedside. Almost all...

  25. Can you pay the bills on your nursing salary?

    EdBSN09 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would also note that, at least at my hospital, there is an abundance of available overtime. So if money ever does get really tight for me (when I decide to purchase my first home, for instance), I...
