    Online RN to BSN with no prerequisites?

    Murse901 replied to caringkay RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There's an old engineering saying that goes something like this: "Cheap, fast, or good. Pick two". Chamberlain doesn't require clinicals. But, it is expensive. However, as I don't have a ton of Gen...

    Online RN to BSN with no prerequisites?

    Murse901 replied to caringkay RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Chamberlain's RN to BSN is accredited by CCNE and NLN, has no pre-req's, and can be completed in a year. But, it's pretty darned

    Should you admit you made a mistake when it could affect student success

    Murse901 replied to vlr1445's topic in General Nursing

    Very true, along with the accusations that the instructor failed them "for no reason at all". I guess we'll be on the edge of our seats until OP

    Should you admit you made a mistake when it could affect student success

    Murse901 replied to vlr1445's topic in General Nursing

    Spoiler alert: the answer to my question was "Yes". Can't tell if the OP is a student looking for sympathy after failing or an educator looking to have their guilty conscience

    Should you admit you made a mistake when it could affect student success

    Murse901 replied to vlr1445's topic in General Nursing

    Should you admit you made a mistake when it could affect a patient's outcome? OP, I think you'll find that the answer to my question is the same as the answer to

    Paying for your own training as a new grad

    Murse901 replied to NursePati87's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm with llq. This smells like something concocted by administration to get cheap labor while bypassing labor laws by putting it up as an educational

    For those a BSN or MSN acquired online, did you face discrimination when job hunting

    Murse901 replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Nursing

    This is getting a bit off-topic, but I'd like to address your opinion. A few years ago, in the middle of her junior year of HS, my sister had a devastating illness that forced her to stay at home for...

    is this within my scope?

    Murse901 replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

    If you believe this, then you're on the fast track to a malpractice lawsuit. To the OP: Don't do it, plain and simple. Unless you're directed to do so by an MD, you're exposing yourself to a big...

    Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Murse901 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    Wonderful story, but completely irrelevant in the context of this discussion. No one in this thread has stated that chauvinism does not exist. Oops. I said I wouldn't defend my point any further....

    Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Murse901 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    Don't read too much into it? The OP believes that this male nurse's irritating behavior is due to his woman-hating ideals, which are a result of his "evangelical" upbringing. Talk about reading too...

    Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Murse901 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    Also, this statement is about as asinine as if I were to say that you're agreeing with the OP because you're a female. Utter

    Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Murse901 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think so. There are others that have disagreed with the OP that are female. Again, gender has nothing to do with this particular issue. I'm not sure how I can make folks like you understand....

    Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Murse901 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm replying to those that reply to me and countering each argument with an argument of my own. Why do I have to be in the OP's shoes to provide my own opinion on the issue? As for the last sentence...

    Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Murse901 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    So, your hospital has different requirements for male and female charge nurses? In that scenario, you definitely have a case for discrimination. But, somehow, I think you're skewing the facts

    Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Murse901 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    Male privilege in a field that is heavily dominated by women. Riiiight. With the ratio of females to males in nursing, the chances are good that a woman put him in the position that he's in. I...

    Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Murse901 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    When it's all said and done, the OP wanted to find a way to "get back" at and "nail" the charge nurse. Had the issue of gender not been focused on by the OP, my advice would have still been the same....

    Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Murse901 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for proving my point. This is a gender issue, but it's been made a gender issue by the OP. Wait, so females are allowed to exhibit this behavior but males are not? You're failing to...

    Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Murse901 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, I didn't call it man-bashing. That was a quote from another poster. I'm sorry if you misread it. Second, I am not the one wrapped up in the gender issue. This was a key topic in the OP's...

    This sounds like the prelude to a threat Nope, no gender issues here. Sorry to disappoint, but I could care less what gender anyone is. I probably would have entitled this thread "Handling...

    Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Murse901 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    It's not an accusation of sexism. It's an accusation of not seeing the big picture and keying in on the fact that the charge nurse in question is a male. If the OP had not keyed in on this, the thread...

    Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Again, it really doesn't matter either way in the scope of my original statement. We're expanding on something that has absolutely no impact whatsoever on the

    Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Murse901 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I'm minimizing your concerns because it's a gender issue. This is turning into a vicious cycle here. I don't believe that this is a gender issue. The behavior that you've described doesn't seem...

    Murse901 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    Did you even read my post??? Sorry, kidding and just taking a page from the OP's book there. I put it in quotes because I am quoting the thread title. Of course there are men out there who hold the...
