  1. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    JimmyDurham9 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I'm naive I guess. I chose nursing because I needed to help people and make an impact on the world; not to imply any judgement toward nurses who chose the profession for reasons different than my own....

  2. Sorry, we must start you as a new grad.

    JimmyDurham9 replied to strawberryfields's topic in General Nursing

    If it weren't for the fact that you are being told you have to wait for a "new grad" slot to open I would say it is a pay negotiation tactic. Like schnookimz said before new grad pay = new grad pay,...

  3. BSN or BS

    JimmyDurham9 replied to Sirena922's topic in General Nursing

    There are accelerated BSN programs that take into account that you have a bachelor's degree in another field. You should then only have to take bridge courses into the nursing

  4. Sorry, we must start you as a new grad.

    JimmyDurham9 replied to strawberryfields's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds odd to me. What position did you apply for? Unless you were going for something completely outside your wheelhouse, it seems strange to call you a new grad (and even then, it's still...

  5. Get the Bsn or leave nursing?

    JimmyDurham9 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There are nurse consultants, advice line nurses for insurance companies, sales for medical equipment, nurse writers, nurses who do insurance physicals, private duty nursing, maybe? You like bedside?...

  6. Help! I think I'm going to accidently hurt or kill someone

    JimmyDurham9 replied to HollySue061566's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Give yourself a break. You'd be a real danger to your patients if you didn't have this fear you might make a mistake. It's when we think we know and have seen it all that we become seriously...

  7. Get the Bsn or leave nursing?

    JimmyDurham9 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    One more thing - the competitive nurse is the adaptable forward thinking nurse. You've already got a leg up on many because you're carefully considering the future

  8. Get the Bsn or leave nursing?

    JimmyDurham9 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    smartnurse1982, I say get the BSN. You are only accumulating experience, which will be to your advantage in a so called nursing glut. I don't recall seeing what kind of nursing you do, but I see you...

  9. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    JimmyDurham9 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Guys, we're all nurses here. Regardless of why we chose the profession, we're here in it; the other option is to choose not be in the profession. I get uncomfortable with the older nurse vs younger...

  10. Indiana Licensure Question

    JimmyDurham9 replied to shampick's topic in General Nursing

    Just from having read other state nurse practice acts, I can say with some certainty there absolutely is some impact on an Indiana nursing license when there is a criminal charge involving drugs or...

  11. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    JimmyDurham9 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I want to chime in on the point that volunteering should be considered as a entry qualification to nursing programs. I don't disagree there. Something I see everyday and have seen just reading through...

  12. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    JimmyDurham9 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    We are also in an age where bullying and incivility has become out of hand. All of us as communicators are responsible for the messages (all of them) we send. While one person can only feel inferior...

  13. Feeling Drawn to Palliative and EOL Care

    JimmyDurham9 posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I recently took a continuing education train the trainer course on Palliative and Hospice nursing because I felt drawn to it after watching my grandfather succumb to lung cancer over the past two...

  14. Interview Correctional Nurse Position

    JimmyDurham9 replied to joannavn's topic in Correctional

    These sound like good questions to ask during your interview. It'll show that you're interested in the position. Given that they've seen your resume, which would include your lack of experience in...
