  1. Online Rn to Bsn as schools as good as brick and mortar?

    openyourmind replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If I were working as a nurse by the time I decide to pursue a BSN, I would honestly do the online route. There would be no reason for me to do otherwise. I would have completed my ADN degree in person...

  2. I Hope No One Hires You

    openyourmind replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Do people do this because its a risk for losing license type of thing? How do people then apply to another job and explain the time gap for when they were at the place they suddenly quit at? Surely no...

  4. I Hope No One Hires You

    openyourmind replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Is anyone grateful for an opportunity? I'm trying to get my leg in as a unit secretary or sitter with zero experience while I go through nursing school. No one will hire me.

  6. LPN before RN?

    openyourmind replied to TMCasaletto's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If RN is your goal, get straight to it in the most cost effective way, if

  7. How much education do you plan on receiving?

    openyourmind replied to daetor2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Doing the associates and then bridging. It's just more cost effective. After a few years of bedside experience I would like to do a FNP program. I see so many people brag how they are going to do a...

  8. Do you ever find yourself comparing where you are to where other people are?

    openyourmind replied to kdpatula's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Never ever compare yourself to others. You are not on their level and they aren't at your level. People who constantly compete/compare get nowhere, trust me on this. I've seen overly competitive...

  9. How ready are you for nursing school?

    openyourmind replied to openyourmind's topic in General Students

    Definitely need to be serious about this, thanks for the

  10. How ready are you for nursing school?

    openyourmind replied to openyourmind's topic in General Students

    I try to limit animal products by consuming more greens. Eventually I'd like to eliminate meat products or at least not consume the way I do now. I lack greatly in the exercise dept and I find it hard...

  11. How ready are you for nursing school?

    openyourmind replied to openyourmind's topic in General Students

    Very positive way of looking at things futurenurse1211! I have no doubt that I and others are going to have to see and deal with all kinds of diseases and procedures. Our job as a student is just...

    openyourmind replied to lala2017's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah I'm not totally excited for next season

  13. Nasty nurses

    openyourmind replied to Sabr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think people are confusing the words respect and trust. I respect everyone and trust no one. Lol! Respect shouldn't be something someone earns because everybody deserves respect. Not everybody...

  14. Are nurses forced to assist abortions?

    openyourmind replied to lookingintoRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    LOL! Just an FYI, the topic of this thread was probably lost 4 pages ago. This was an OLD thread before someone started looking for a place to place their opinion on abortions. *yawn* Perhaps the...

  15. Nasty nurses

    openyourmind replied to Sabr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You can totally have that guano. I'm sure no one will complain.

  16. Are nurses forced to assist abortions?

    openyourmind replied to lookingintoRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The reality is if abortions were illegal, that wouldn't fix the problem of a girl/woman not wanting a fetus growing inside her. I mean, do I need to spell out death by wire hanger out for you? No one...

  17. Are nurses forced to assist abortions?

    openyourmind replied to lookingintoRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The solution is seriously simple. If you do not want an abortion, don't have one. What exactly is the argument here? Is someone forcing you to have an abortion? Or are you just wanting to control the...

  18. Anyone else waiting to start RN program?

    openyourmind replied to LifeIsGood76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you tried to apply to programs that don't have a wait list? That was a major determining factor for me. Really sorry about your situation! Hope you look into other possible

  19. Greys anatomy-"my person"

    openyourmind replied to lala2017's topic in General Nursing

    Oh no, well, I was totally referring to someone to team up with during my program. I had a real good study partner prior nursing school that was mentally on the same page as I was, I'm hoping I find...

  20. Greys anatomy-"my person"

    openyourmind replied to lala2017's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I'm on this boat so you are not alone. I find I get along with people who keep it professional, are compassionate, and are humorous in nature like I am. I'm pretty hopeful

    openyourmind replied to kjewel36's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Mind sharing what difficulties you may have had during your first semester and how you have adapted since? Would love to hear!

  22. Are nurses forced to assist abortions?

    openyourmind replied to lookingintoRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Apparently you are not understanding that this is about the patient, and not you. It is offensive that you put a label on nurses who (in this case) actually respect the choices of the patient vs...
