Hello All! I'm an American currently working toward my BSN. We are seriously considering immigrating to Canada after I obtain my MSN as a nurse practitioner. We are looking at the Vancouver area, btw. Can anyone offer me any information on salaries a...

I'm thinking about going the RN-ADN and then BSN root. I was wondering if anyone here has experience with Houston Community College's ADN program. Is it very competitive? What kind of criterion do they use for accepting students? What's the program l...

Hi All, Firstly, I'm having a hard time finding LVN programs in the Houston area. Does Memorial Hermann offer a program? I read that they do, but I can't find any information online at their website. I know Houston Community College has one and Cy-Fa...

It's not completely online. There are clinicals that must be attended.

LOL. I guess I'm just too green in nursing to understand these things. Thank you for enlightening me.

Did the title catch your attention? Good, I was hoping it would. I've seen people talk about this attitude on allnurses quite a bit, and I find the reactions fascinating. I'm amazed at the passion, care and professionalism of the nurses on this board...

I've looked at schools in Michigan, Oregon, Texas, California and they *all* want nurses to have at least one year of experience before FNP school. It makes no sense at all to me to demand that of BSN's who already have a clinical and academic backgr...

i've use breastmilk (my own) to cure my children's conjunctivitis. works beautifully.

What is per diem nursing? How does it differ from other types of nurse work i.e. full time, part time etc.? Thank You

lol, good point.

Well thought out and articulate as usual. Thanks.

lol, i admit i was hoping for that reaction to at least get folks to open the thread. But really I was just trying to get a feel for where nursing is headed in the opinion of all the smart nurses 'round here. I'm enjoying the replies thus far. and re...

I can tell you as a Bay Area native who now lives in Houston that, that cost of living calculator is wrong, wrong, wrong. Our family income is around that 58k mark and we live in a house that's 10 years old and almost 3000 sq ft. in a great neighborh...

Yes, that's what I thought you were saying. I understand differently now.

Oh good Lord, I think you must be a saint.

Sorry, Mullti I got you and Tazzi mixed up. Yes, it does appear that we agree. The bottom line for me is respecting the wishes of the patient and not making assumptions, it seems that is your bottom line as well. There is little that chaps my hide m...

I do think making decisions regarding a child's health is different than one partner asking the other if it's ok to have a procedure (especially if it's life saving) done. Parents are jointly responsible for the health of their children. I also reali...

That's not what you said in your first post, and that's what I take issue with. No one is demanding that you argue theology, only that you not make assumptions. You made the statement that this is how you treat your Muslim patients and I am saying th...

Would you only do this with Muslims or would you also do it if your patient looked like they belonged to some other religious group? This is a sign of abusive behavior, regardless of the culture. There is no law in Islam that states that a woman must...

WHOA! That would be a very bad assumption on your part and that of your colleagues. I am a hijab weaing Muslim woman and I'd be furious if a health care provider did this to me, I know all of my friends would as well. My husband would also find it di...

So many of the responses on this thread are so disheartening. I really wonder if one of the root problems with the issues we see in nursing (disrespect, lower wages than we deserve, being overworked etc.) is internalized sexism. Why in the world woul...

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer questions. I hope this isn't too much of a bother, but I have just one more, ok two more :0). 1. Do your transcripts show that you are graduating from the e-line program, or do you earn the exact same d...

How do you do your tests? Are they online or do you have to have them proctored somewhere?

This is fascinating. I live in Houston, do you know of they have any clinical opportunities close to Houston?
