  1. Nursing is becoming stupid

    divobari replied to canigraduate's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, it's unfortunate. It makes me sad for people in the hospital when I tell them that I left my profession as an world-traveled opera singer to become a nurse and they immediately assume that it...

  2. An NCLEX question for you.

    divobari replied to Lev's topic in General Students

    Ok. I promise to drop. I just know the amount of misinformation that is out there. For those who don't understand(and are interested in learning) why anyone coming in with vaso-occlusive crisis...

  3. An NCLEX question for you.

    divobari replied to Lev's topic in General Students

    Yeah... I am respectfully backing away from this one - it is clearly not an "exchange". I genuinely wish you guys the best in your

  4. An NCLEX question for you.

    divobari replied to Lev's topic in General Students

    That's amazing! Yes, I love Lucy, with Lucille Ball! I love that series. They were true trailblazers! I think I'm gonna find some old episodes and watch

  5. An NCLEX question for you.

    divobari replied to Lev's topic in General Students

    amoLucia that's funny! I speak italian, by the way. Amo Lucia... is that a reference to the opera Lucia di

  6. An NCLEX question for you.

    divobari replied to Lev's topic in General Students

    I understand your (real world) logic, but in NCLEX world, you have all of the time in the world. Don't you wish you worked at NCLEX Memorial Hospital?

  7. An NCLEX question for you.

    divobari replied to Lev's topic in General Students

    I've learned to respect everyone for what they bring to the table. Yes, I am a RN and was well prepared for the NCLEX. Just to help you understand where I'm coming from, I have also taken...

  8. An NCLEX question for you.

    divobari replied to Lev's topic in General Students

    Ok... Go back to what I said. Not interested in continuing this, because it does not benefit me or anyone else to witness this pointless exchange. Then again, I forget where I am... To the people...

  9. An NCLEX question for you.

    divobari replied to Lev's topic in General Students

  10. Failed NCLEX, should I become a CNA?

    divobari replied to stephjane's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely focus on NCLEX. You will pass. I bought a few weeks of the NCSBN extension course and the questions were not bad. They are the guys who administer the NCLEX, so it may be worth paying...

  11. Nursing program accept online credit?

    divobari replied to hampmp1's topic in General Students

    I'm went to Columbia U and they absolutely took all of my online courses. They told me my transcript wouldn't state that they were taken online. They stressed the importance of a good essay. For...

  12. An NCLEX question for you.

    divobari replied to Lev's topic in General Students

    I agree that it's definitely 3. In addition to what was said, you go with who is the most unstable and has the least expected outcome. COPD is chronic, Hip surgery has predictable outcomes, 95% O2 is...

  13. HELP DNP vs FNP

    divobari replied to nurseNsearch15's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Amen!! The main concern IS the cost - and is a legitimate one. Too often, it is camouflaged with anything to debase the value of continued education - at any

  14. HELP DNP vs FNP

    divobari replied to nurseNsearch15's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I realized the link is not working... not sure why. American Association of Colleges of Nursing | The Impact of Education on Nursing

  15. HELP DNP vs FNP

    divobari replied to nurseNsearch15's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Then continue to be confounded, my friend. It is a choice we must make all make for ourselves. I am happy to pay my program for a DNP,(or should I be embarrassed by it?) so that I can pretend that...

  16. HELP DNP vs FNP

    divobari replied to nurseNsearch15's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    In response to one simple fact: the ADN - BSN, we were discussing this over the summer and this is what was cited. Maybe it won't be enough proof for you, but it is out there. "Posting online in...

  17. HELP DNP vs FNP

    divobari replied to nurseNsearch15's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Ok, now I'm just laughing. Not everyone is made for seeking information, translating, appraising, and sharing it with their colleagues, which is what you are asking to be done. That is fine, but...

  18. HELP DNP vs FNP

    divobari replied to nurseNsearch15's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    OK. I actually would love to entertain this further, but as you already know, I'm a DNP student and actually have frivolous things to do, so that I can someday be called "Dr." I am respectfully...

  19. Terminated at end of orientation.

    divobari replied to Flatlander's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sorry you were fired. I think that it is unfortunate. It sounds like it is not about quality, but about how fast you get things done. There should be consistent, honest feedback. Then, you can...

  20. A less stressfull career choice

    divobari replied to jherd's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No food/drinks rule is a health code. I think all of the other things depend on the culture of the hospital, because I've seen nurses pull out their cell phones to text in front of patients. Then...

    divobari replied to nurseNsearch15's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    IsabelK, you are a rockstar!! Rock on! Congrats on your accomplishments - it is

  22. HELP DNP vs FNP

    divobari replied to nurseNsearch15's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I am currently in a DNP program at a pioneer program for the clinical DNP. The most important advice I will give to anyone seeking to advance beyond MSN is to never listen to the naysayers. It makes...

  23. Columbia ETP 2015

    divobari replied to allisonnn's topic in School, College Programs

    There is not a single nurse in ETP, because it is for people with non-nursing backgrounds. There are a lot of people who are straight out of undergrad or have been out for a year or two. We also...

  24. Columbia ETP 2015

    divobari replied to allisonnn's topic in School, College Programs

    Current ETPer here! I justwanted to wish you guys

  25. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

    divobari replied to WavyGravy's topic in School, College Programs

    Well, that sucks, I guess it's become kind of a ghost town. The Facebook page is really alive. I can't keep up with them. Congratulations mewei! It sounds like UPenn is a great program! I...
