    Took NCLEX, not sure what to do...

    SE_BSN_RN replied to mstein86's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yep. My school did that, too. We had 10 students in our class, and 5 couldn't pass the exit exam. Why? I have NO idea. They have one more shot, and if they don't pass that, they have to retake the...

    Working as an LVN in RN school

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Sony1214's topic in LPN to RN

    I started out in LTC doing doubles on sat/sunday. I had a lot of vacation hours built up, and once I started needing time off for clinicals, my requests were refused due to "short staffing". HHC...

    I Am FINALLY Able To Change My UserName From FutureNurse1982 to RonnieNichelle LPN

    ADN's being pushed out

    SE_BSN_RN replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The problem is, it isn't the BSN nurses "attempting to eliminate the very existence of another".....it is the hospitals making the choice. Put credit where credit is due (or not.) Don't blame nurses,...

    ADN's being pushed out

    SE_BSN_RN replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The studies are out there. Apparently, ADN's aren't taught EBP? Research? If anyone works for Kaiser, they can tell you about EBP, patient outcomes, and

    vent about floating

    SE_BSN_RN replied to proud nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. In a local hospital I applied for, an employee told me that if they were overstaffed, they would send me home and bring in a float nurse because they get paid less that me (on mother/baby)....

    NCLEX PN AND PEARSON VUE Registration!!!!

    SE_BSN_RN replied to studentkt88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It took mine about a week. Had to wait for the check to cash, the BON told me to call them when I registered to take the NCLEX, and I left a msg and they didn't respond. I called, and they got snippy...

    How do I stand out as a new grad applying for L&D?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to kballard09's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Talk to the hiring manager at the place you want to work. I was lucky to do my LD and leadership clinicals in the hospital I am planning to apply to, once I pass my boards. My preceptor told me to go...

    BSN patient outcomes

    SE_BSN_RN replied to S.G.'s topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would hope, though, that freaking out about the NCLEX on a nursing forum would garner some support and encouragement for the test takers....me being one of them. My NCLEX is scheduled for 8-19, and...

    "Just" an LPN

    SE_BSN_RN replied to kjrobinetteSN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You are not "just" an LPN. You are a valuable asset to the healthcare team. I have been an LPN for many years and I am anxiously awaiting to take my RN boards on the 19th. Then I suppose I will "just"...

    Help!! I'm shut out of the NCLEX exam!

    SE_BSN_RN replied to NurseCookie2013's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yep. We had our program exit exam, and we needed a 70% to pass. My classmate got a 69.4. Has to do remediation and retake the exam. She didn't

    How likely is it for a BSN to find a job right after grad?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to gentlerain's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I just finished my BSN and have 4 job offers.....but haven't taken my NCLEX yet. Choices,
  13. SE_BSN_RN

    Would you recommend doing RN to BSN or RN to MSN

    SE_BSN_RN replied to TXRN44's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Depends on what you want to do. I chose to get my BSN, and I plan to go the BSN-DNP route. There's the rumor, like they're phasing out LPN/ADN in favor of BSN and pretty soon they'll phase out BSN-MSN...

    ADN's being pushed out

    SE_BSN_RN replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Evidence based practice. Seems a lot of ADN's don't have this knowledge. I know a lot of BSN's AND MSN's that do bedside care. As for the BSN students....did it ever occur to you that maybe their...

    ADN's being pushed out

    SE_BSN_RN replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes, thank you! An ADN is NOT better prepared than a BSN. It's all about EBP, which is.....BSN's provide safer care, and client outcomes are better. These are not my words, its evidence. BSN is not...

    What is so special about working in postpartum???

    SE_BSN_RN replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just finished my BSN and am waiting to take my boards. I just applied to the hospital where I had my 3 boys, for a PP position that hires new grads. (I am an LPN with 6 years LTC/ 1 year HHC.) I am...

    Three Weeks! It's almost over!

    SE_BSN_RN replied to LeeLeeTheGPN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I just took my exit ATI on the 17th, and passed! I was so nervous, and that test was so HARD! I was told these exit tests are usually harder than the actual NCLEX itself. My BSN degree was conferred...

    What did you do the day before your test date?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to jsanchez512's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You can't work as an LVN in CA, and then an RN in WA. But the LVN license takes about 3

    Can a new nurse be a case manager for a Home Health Agency

    SE_BSN_RN replied to SWRNUSA's topic in Home Health

    How about in my case......I have been an LPN in LTC for 7 years. Been an LPN in HHC/PDN for over 1. When I pass my RN boards, my manager wants me to do visits as an RN for 6months then go to case...

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Marcia73's topic in Home Health

    I currently do HHC/PDN as an LPN. (Been in HHC for a little over a year, been in LTC the previous 7.) As soon as I pass my RN boards, my supervisor wants me to do visits as a RN for 6 months, then do...

    SE_BSN_RN replied to MS_SUNNYSIDE's topic in Home Health

    Thanks Kel, I was wondering the same thing! One more question, though.....going from staff (PDN) to case manager, how do you negotiate pay? I have no idea what is appropriate and fair to
