    Wow, congratulations! You are certainly an example of "eyes on the prize" with all the hardship you went

    LPN'S are not going anywhere!

    nursel56 replied to lucrecole2009's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    There are a lot of people who don't have the time or money to do the BSN all at once. There are so many options for bridge programs once you are an LPN or an ADN that the number of nurses who have...

    gfs scrubs are kinda see through

    nursel56 replied to robert1043's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Yes, tight scrub pants are not the norm at all, especially if they are see-through, she wears a thong and she's already got attention from frisky old

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    nursel56 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know one single competent MD who would spend their precious time on this earth working out their anger issues on a nursing forum instead of simply living their life as a not-nurse. If venting...

    HIPAA violation?

    nursel56 replied to haunani's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    It doesn't seem to matter much to hospitals if a breach is technically a HIPAA violation or not. The actual definition of HIPAA refers to the transmission of electronic medical records. They are...

    Trying to pick myself back up

    nursel56 replied to Nolli's topic in General Students

    Really sorry this happened to you. Don't underestimate the importance of putting one foot in front of the other! That is actually a very big deal. Your body is still dealing with the pain, so your...

    I dread going to work- not a new grad. Has this happened to anyone else?

    nursel56 replied to Ativan's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I've experienced it and yes, switching to a different-kind of stressful (predictable vs unpredictable) job helped! I agree with those who suggested getting some outside help. I don't know who...

    Career change to Nursing...not interested in Clinicals, should I continue?

    nursel56 replied to jbs203's topic in General Students

    These are very valid, common reasons to pursue nursing. They were spot on for decades. The ground has shifted in the last 5-7 years to the point I wouldn't rely on them to make a life-altering...

    ADN Nurses Being Forced to go Back to School?

    nursel56 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I do agree, Esme! It was just another speculative idea to finally end the bickering. If they don't change the law, the only other solution I can see is a concerted effort to transition current ADN...

    ADN Nurses Being Forced to go Back to School?

    nursel56 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I've always associated the distinctive caps from diploma schools. Seems like more and more often the university students shun such things, even the pins. My first instructor was built like a...

    Doing Away with LPN?

    nursel56 replied to chuchii's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    No, they are not doing away with LPNs but if you are able to go into an RN program (because you said the next step could be LPN or RN) it's probably better to go straight for the RN. That way you...

    I don't believe aspirating is best practice for giving injections of vaccines anymore, either. I found this link that has so much useful information in it I'll share it here. Best wishes!...

    nursel56 replied to ilikesharpthings's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for sharing this. I find that these things are one of the few things we do that give us immediate feedback as to the value of our actions. Not saying the big picture and the team aren't...

    Do you attend patient funerals?

    nursel56 replied to ~PedsRN~'s topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I respect that just as much as I would those who differ in their approach. We need to support the right of nurses to be true to themselves in special circumstances like

    ADN Nurses Being Forced to go Back to School?

    nursel56 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I interpreted your feeling strongly about this "if for no other reason" meant that you assigned a significance that surpassed other reasons someone might advocate for requiring a BSN. Thanks...

    ADN Nurses Being Forced to go Back to School?

    nursel56 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    What is it specifically that leads you to state physicians view ADN nurses with disrespect and derision? How many times have you heard "you only have an associates" said by a physician to an ADN

    Do you attend patient funerals?

    nursel56 replied to ~PedsRN~'s topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, I've attended funerals since becoming a private-duty nurse. I wouldn't hesitate to attend the funeral of a child who I'd known and who's family I'd known for a long time through all the ordeals...
