1. A Different Approach to the ADN vs. BSN Debate

   NextSummer replied to Sheri257's topic in ADN/BSN

   Yeah I totally agree that ADN programs are much more affordable especially for adults with families. My point was that although increasing entry to practice requirements may result in losing people who otherwise might consider nursing as their 2nd or...

2. A Different Approach to the ADN vs. BSN Debate

   NextSummer replied to Sheri257's topic in ADN/BSN

   Well, I don't know it's reasoning, but if one grows up in an environment where university education is the minimum expectation from your parents, one can't say that "I want to do nursing that does not need university education." My parents would have...

3. A Different Approach to the ADN vs. BSN Debate

   NextSummer replied to Sheri257's topic in ADN/BSN

   I don't agree with the point that if BSN is required for entry to practice, many people won't choose nursing. I think there is another pool of people who want to choose nursing if BSN is the minimum entry level to practice - people right out of high ...

5. reference from NM

   NextSummer posted a topic in Career Support

   I just have a question regarding references when applying for a new job. Is it a 'must' to give my current nurse manager's contact info as a reference? If I tell my manager that I am trying to change my job by asking her to give me a good reference,...

6. night nurse who leaves everything undone..

   NextSummer replied to linzz's topic in Geriatric

   I agree with allantiques4me. It's wrong to assume that a previous shift nurse did not do catheterization just because the amount of urine you obtained was a lot.

7. Giving Baths At Night. Agree Or Disagree?

   NextSummer replied to kmwlpn's topic in Geriatric

   The people who created this idea must be people who have never worked a single night shift in LTC!

8. Collecting urine sample

   NextSummer posted a topic in Geriatric

   My first job in nursing, although it was short, was long term care, and I worked only nights. What made me wonder was that when urine C+S needs to be done, days and evening shifts leave that work for nights. Why is that? Is that a particular reason? ...

10. Anxiety with facing first cor/code blue

    NextSummer replied to murphynmax's topic in New Nurse

    That's exactly what constantly worries me too.... I don't work in a typical hospital setting so the chances of code blues are very low here. And that's why I am very reluctant to leave this place, even though I don't think I will make a good nurse he...

11. When is the best time for New Grad to move on to another hospital?

    NextSummer replied to amy0123's topic in New Nurse

    I also think 8 months are okay enough to leave.

12. What's the big thing about "1 year?"

    NextSummer replied to stillpressingon's topic in General Nursing

    What if the training period was less than two weeks?

13. Anyone here in a "nursing couple"?

    NextSummer replied to heartlover07's topic in General Nursing

    My boyfriend is an RN too I am still a newbie, and he is a nurse with a couple of years of experience, which is so good because I can ask tons of stupid questions :monkeydance:

    NextSummer replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with Lindarn's points as well...!!

15. A New Twist on a Familiar Complaint: Toxic EMPLOYEES

    NextSummer replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Relations

    "Says, "I would NEVER quit my job here, I love the residents too much" even as they're filling out applications" But then, are we supposed to say or express some kind of desire to leave when we are considering about changing jobs?
