  1. Discrimination Against ER Nurses?

    47yomalestudent replied to DaveBSN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi Dave, out of curiosity, did you elevate your concern about breach of contract before you resigned? Perhaps there was a sound reason for the actions the hospital made? Maybe it was a temporary...

    #520- I would think a strep test would be in order whenever someone shows up with those

  5. Nurses are Not Doctors

    47yomalestudent replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I think the jest of this topic has evolved into a debate over the educational differences between a MD and NP and should NPs be allowed to practice autonomously? I am of the opinion they already do in...

  6. Nurses are Not Doctors

    47yomalestudent replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    #488- I agree that not all programs are created equally. A person should research the school they are considering attending to be sure it offers a quality education. As for a NP researching a...

  7. Nurses are Not Doctors

    47yomalestudent replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    C'mon folks, his (or her) screen name is Gluteus... So it should be of no shock value to learn that even they consider themselves to be an

  9. Nurses are Not Doctors

    47yomalestudent replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    MDs seem to trust NPs, do they not? NPs are not only working in Family HC clinics, you can find them in hospitals making rounds, ordering tests, prescriptions, making diagnosis, and sometimes...

  10. Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    47yomalestudent replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    Our lab instructor banned food or drink in the lab for health

  11. Let's hear from the over 40 students

    47yomalestudent replied to 47yomalestudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My cumulative is 3.1 but I have all A's in my math and sciences. I do still have A&P2 to take, and like you, need to study for the entrance exam. It seems like most areas have waiting lists, but...

  12. Let's hear from the over 40 students

    47yomalestudent posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would like to hear from any pre-nursing students over 40. How are you doing? Kids? Do you work? Taking day or night classes? Major challenges? Advice to navigate school and still provide for your...

  13. Let's hear from the over 40 students

    47yomalestudent replied to 47yomalestudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All great posts. I'm hoping to maintain a job through this journey so I'm eyeballing the LPN to RN path. The local college has a nights and weekends program. However, there is a nights and weekends RN...

  14. Nurses are Not Doctors

    47yomalestudent replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Go to see your Family Practitioner these days, chances are your going to see a NP. Sure, maybe a Physician will glance over their charts every few months, but the patients care was entrusted to the NP...

  15. Job offer rescinded? What did I do wrong?

    47yomalestudent replied to Pandora6212's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Most places will at least have a probation period. I've never even heard of anything like you described. I know it's probably not worth the effort, but I'd be tempted to call and request compensation...

  16. Nurses are Not Doctors

    47yomalestudent replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    The Princess Bride- I don't disagree with the basis of your post; a doctor goes to school longer and receives more clinical hours. I don't think anyone is suggesting NPs will ever replace the need...

  17. Nurses are Not Doctors

    47yomalestudent replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Agree, or disagree.... I think The Affordable Health Care Act will drive this debate. I think we will see NP's opening private practices nation wide. It's simple math, you can't dump 30 million plus...

  18. Older Nursing Students

    47yomalestudent replied to faithfl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe God steers the right people to nursing.... age is just an obstacle, but if God brought you to it, he will get you through

  19. Employer tuition reimbursement question

    47yomalestudent replied to MSofia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My wife's hospital offers reimbursement, she set up a delayed payment with her school. At the end of the Semester, she presents her passing grades to her employer and they cut her a check..... There...

  21. In my late 40's, is it worth it to go back to school to become an RN?

    47yomalestudent replied to 4everpeace's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hope your not. I'm 47, will be 48 this year. I'm getting ready to take the plunge into a LPN nights and weekends program. After that, a bridge program to RN. I'll be in my 50's when I get my RN. I...
