    Perhaps you are confusing the stated goals of the IOM Committee for an increase in the percentage of BSN grads to 80% by 2020 with a shortage of available BSN grads. In it's response to CNN Money...

    nursel56 replied to ceccia's topic in General Nursing

    It is true that working nurses may be unaware of the current situation, and I would never fault a student for "not doing their research". It is so-called trusted sources who are deliberately...

    Well, good luck to you I hope you find a course of study that is right for you. There are differences, and lots.of related options. Maybe there are forums similar to this one but focussed on those...

    nursel56 replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    Yes, there is certainly a military analogy to be made in nursing which is a culture shock to many people (it was for me as my job prior to school was in the fashion world). You either adapt or you...

    The death of nursing

    nursel56 replied to massrn116's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think what the OP meant was more along the lines of "nursing as we knew it is dying". It's kind of a you had to be there thing. Lest anyone get offended, I know that the trends I've observed...

    Tattle tale? Or my duty to report?

    nursel56 replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    I would err on the side of my patient and call 911 in an emergency situation unless it was clearly spelled out in the chart what the Advance Directives are. We need to make sure our butts are...

    nursel56 replied to massrn116's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm really sorry this has happened and more so knowing that your experience is far from unique. I get so depressed about it I'm actually glad to be walking through the exit door pretty soon. I think...

    Gahh..thorny situations in pdn! First, I don't think you are a tattle-tale which as I understand it, is done for the sole purpose of getting someone in trouble, is petty, and doesn't have the child's...

    RN interview for lvn job

    nursel56 replied to stuart2994's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Then I would focus less on the fact that you aren't an LVN and more on selling yourself for the job itself. Generally, a Family Practice clinic is looking for someone who has an engaging personality...

    RN interview for lvn job

    nursel56 replied to stuart2994's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My answer would depend on the answer to the question sally asked. Historically, RNs have often worked in clinics and doctor's offices. Right now in my state, all nursing jobs are so tight that it is...

    How much "dirty work" have you encountered in nursing school

    nursel56 replied to dulcet's topic in General Students

    The word "dirty" when combined with the word "work" becomes a phrase with a meaning unique to their definitions used separately. None of the definitions of "dirty work" reduce it to physical...

    Not sure if to switch to RN or finish my LPN and then go to RN

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

    If you have the chance to switch I think you should do it. Even if you'll need to repeat a quarter. I believe the current trend of oversupply of new nurses and fewer jobs for them will most likely...
