    Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Murse901 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    As I said, they may not have the designation "management", they can be considered managers. Perhaps we're mudding things up here. A charge nurse does have some authority and responsibility for the...

    Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Murse901 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    Whether or not he has good people skills is a subjective observation. To you, he may seem like Hitler. To someone else, he may seem like Gandhi. Does he meet the minimum experience requirements for...

    Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Murse901 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my God. Are you freakin' serious? Now you're just being annoying and argumentative. While a charge nurse does not have the designation "manager", a charge nurse is management and can be called a...

    Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Murse901 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I have read your posts, which is why I jumped to those logical conclusions. Sure, there are decisions that are unfairly made due to gender, race, or religion. In this case, I doubt it's true....

    Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Murse901 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    While Infinisynth's assertion was overstated, I'd be willing to bet that this thread would not exist if the nurse in question were female. It seems that the OP has more of a problem with the fact that...

    Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    Murse901 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You're absolutely right. Some people just aren't very receptive to facts that do not mesh with their superior knowledge of nursing and medicine (which I'm guessing comes from watching too many...

    CNA's/PCT's how much do you make?

    Murse901 replied to Karen06's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Not in nursing. It all depends on years of experience in the field. I've had 4 years of experience as an LPN and 2 1/2 years as an EMT-IV. Those years of experience matter absolutely zip when it comes...

    seems like more people are passing lately?

    Murse901 replied to hotnurse84's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've never seen that before. Thanks for pointing it out. I've done several Google searches and looked through all the Excelsior material, but I was never able to find anything. Weird that they just...

    seems like more people are passing lately?

    Murse901 replied to hotnurse84's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I agree with the other posters that there is more material available. There is definitely more and more information coming out all the time, more workshops, more focused material and videos. Companies...

    Anyone going to Mansfield Ohio for CPNE soon?

    Murse901 replied to hotnurse84's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I passed in Mansfield on 9/24-9/26 this year. I was extremely nervous, with so much riding on it, but the CA did all that she could to make us all feel more at ease. While they did not do any...

    true or false

    Murse901 replied to shortcake17's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Depends on the setting. I've worked at a hospital that paid CNA's 9/hr (they were called Medical Assistants, but had CNA credentials), and worked at a nursing home that paid CNA's 13/hr. It could be a...

    true or false

    Murse901 replied to shortcake17's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    In Memphis, the market for LPN's has been on a downward spiral, while the RN market seems to be about the same as it was a few years ago. If you're interested in nursing, I'd highly recommend going...

    true or false

    Murse901 replied to shortcake17's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I apologize. I thought you were talking about accreditation of LPN or RN programs. For CNA in Tennessee, it just needs to be state approved. I don't even know that there is a national accrediting body...

    Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    Murse901 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Listen. Finish a nursing program, any nursing program, and we'll talk about how much you really know about nursing education. As it stands, you're just running off at the mouth with nothing to back...

    Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    Murse901 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Wow, really? You're attacking the fact that ADN's are less competitive for entry, which simply makes it a faster route to licensure for the student with no educational background? There is still the...

    Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    Murse901 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    To me, three can be considered several. Now you're just being silly with the semantics. Grasping at straws? How is it grasping at straws to question your perception that all students go full-time for...

    Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    Murse901 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You do realize that not everyone goes full-time for all of their pre-req's, right? A part-time student can easily spend three years on the coursework leading up to acceptance into the final two years...

    Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    Murse901 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    *rechecking the last couple of pages* Nope, looks like everything has stayed pretty much on-topic. No one seems to be on the defensive. Just a lot of confusion as to what your point was. If your...

    Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    Murse901 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Ah, now I understand. The problem here is that you're simply misinformed. You're assuming that it takes a year and a half to do pre-req's for the ADN, which is most certainly NOT the norm. One year is...

    true or false

    Murse901 replied to shortcake17's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I'd be more worried about whether or not the state will even let you sit for NCLEX if graduating from an unaccredited school. I don't know if Tennessee requires accreditation or not (never bothered to...

    Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    Murse901 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Maybe I missed something, as I haven't read every single post in this thread, but where the **** did anyone state that you should get an ADN if you already have a BS in another area? I don't see...

    So, you're a paralegal. Good luck with your case, but do your work on your own and stop trolling

    The College Network - Legit or Scam?

    Murse901 replied to RHJS's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Considering the fact that NancyLynn joined allnurses just to make this post, I'd bet my bottom dollar that Nancy is a College Network rep trolling and attempting to do damage control. I see these...

    Study guides from Ebay

    Murse901 replied to GeauxNursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I strictly used studygroup101 and larends (both eBay sellers) for all my nursing exams. The only one I used adjunct material on was LS2, because I just couldn't get the endocrine system down
