Does anyone know of any prep courses for the NCLEX-LPN in or near Lincoln, NE? Just trying to help my step-daughter out a bit Thanks!

As far as direct patient care is involved there is no difference between ADN and BSN, we all passed the same boards and do the same care and should get paid the same amount. As far as management goes, some say BSN's are better, I disagree, it is the person and not the piece of paper that makes a good manager. I am an ADN and have held management positions and have done very well with them. I personally think there should only be RN and advanced practice RN, do away with all the other designations (diploma, ADN, BSN) or else make boards more difficult and more inline with the higher education.

I get it all the time, just got it last night. I usually tell them about the same thing "no, I do the work while the doc's sleep". :yeahthat:

Here is a fun game we used to play way back when our hospital first went to computers. I will start a story below, then read from the beginning and add a sentence or two to the end. The next person adds a couple more lines and so on. This can make for some very interesting and sometimes downright hilarious stories. Here goes: One lonely Saturday night I am sitting at home with "a couple beers" under my belt and decide I want to go out. Not having any money I figure the Emergency Room would be an entertaining place to be. I check in with the complaint of......

This is really true, Dr. Richard "Dick" Hedden MD-Urology. And yes, he did want us to call him Dick!! :rotfl: :rotfl:

I am an RN with an ADN, I have worked M/S, ER, ICU, Charge positions, and supervision and can tell you there is not any difference in ADN and BSN when it comes to staff nursing. In fact ADNs get more hands on during their schooling than BSNs. There are really not that many more nursing oriented classes in the BSN program, but there are more "support" classes. I find the push for BSN entry level ridiculous, we all have to pass the same boards. I do not look down on anyone for pushing for increased education but I do look down on paying BSNs more for doing the same job as ADNs.

Never try to steal anhydrous ammonia from a large farm tank at 2AM while high on meth. After arriving at the ER do not try to leave AMA by running out the ambulance bay door, skin hanging from face and arms, with only a bath blanket on after the decon shower. Even after the police return you to the ER since you lost the bath blanket half way through the parking lot do not think yelling at the nurses will get you home any sooner. Worst part is this patient later signed out AMA as she was alert and oriented and not placed under arrest!!

Hey guys, good to join you. Where are some more of those jokes Crumbwannabe? Are you still listening in KarenG? How about bass fishing, any enthusiast out there? I personally fish bass tournaments all over the central and southern US and love it.
