    Hospital CEO Salaries: Are The Big Bucks Justified?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm sorry, but I totally disagree. You can't possibly justify to me how in the world a CEO deserves millions of dollars a year. The budget would be sufficient enough if the CEO didn't get paid...

    Yikes!!! My BSN at a private for profit is less than that, almost 1/2

    Did anyone do the LPN to BSN at university of phoenix?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to lynnie88's topic in School, College Programs

    Contact the university where you are and let them know, or go online and fill out the requested info and they call you back pretty quickly. Are you in CO or CA? The wait depends on the program and how...

    Tylenol is offering a few, and so is Linda Lael Miller. Go to TYLENOL® - The official website for all TYLENOL® products and #1 NYT bestselling author Linda Lael Miller. I don't know if the deadlines...

    Reciting nurse's pledge question

    SE_BSN_RN replied to FLNurse2015's topic in General Students

    So, what happens to people who disagree about something, and speak out? She is possibly risking not being able to graduate. Who wants to take that risk? The pledge is a symbolic tradition that all...

    Reciting nurse's pledge question

    SE_BSN_RN replied to FLNurse2015's topic in General Students

    Maybe, but "In God We Trust" has been on our money for quite some time. Yes, you do have a choice....you can earn it and spend it, or don't. That's your choice. The country is deeply rooted in...

    Reciting nurse's pledge question

    SE_BSN_RN replied to FLNurse2015's topic in General Students

    And, hey, I disagree with being loyal to the physician, because many of them don't back their nurses! If anything goes wrong the nurse is the first one to be thrown under the bus and the physician...

    Reciting nurse's pledge question

    SE_BSN_RN replied to FLNurse2015's topic in General Students

    I don't think it's addressing a particular god, I think it's been part of the pledge and is a part of history. When we used to have to say the pledge of allegience in school, that, too, has a...

    Reciting nurse's pledge question

    SE_BSN_RN replied to FLNurse2015's topic in General Students

    Just don't say the word. You have to remember this pledge was written a long time ago. I went to a public community non-religious school and we recited the Nightingale Pledge. No one ever said...

    New grad RN in LTC

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Starfish, RN's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I started in LTC as a new nurse with 25-28 residents. Had three 8 hour shifts of orientation then was on my own. Took me about a month to get a good routine down. You will be

    Just had my first hospital clinical day

    SE_BSN_RN replied to ivikatasha's topic in General Students

    They say you get out of it what you put into it. Most of the nurses I have encountered are willing to teach you what you want to learn. Being an LPN for awhile now, I am willing to teach if someone is...

    Is nursing still a good career choice?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to manskette's topic in General Students

    Agreed. Very much so. My school did this to me, telling me I could do clinicals up where I live. Well, I can't, depending on the rotation. But, after living in California, driving 30 minutes for...

    Is nursing still a good career choice?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to manskette's topic in General Students

    I think it is. I am an LPN going for my BSN, and I think BSN is going to be the way to go. There aren't many jobs now, due to the tough economy. The older nurses that want to retire, can't. Once they...

    My med/surg was ok. I just finished my second day of clinicals in OB and wow! I got to watch a c/s, some procedures and got to coach a mom. My nurse said "You stand here and do this....." and she...

    Don't You Just Want To Scream?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    What's the protocol for a script? Does your facility have a number straight to the pharmacist for a VO so he can make sure the meds are sent without a script if it is a weekend? Did the pt come in...

    Don't You Just Want To Scream?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I think it depends on your approach. If you come in yelling, expect crappy work. If your staff feels like they can't come to you, give suggestions on how to improve care, and are ignored, expect...

    Well, I am not sure by what you mean by incentives.....but, my incentive, and my reward, is to be doing what I have always wanted to do. I have my sights set on the BSN-DNP program at Baylor, because...

    I am doing it now, graduation date is May 2013. Whole program cost $35,000. Yes that's a lot, but I am willing to pay for the LPN-BSN. I regret not doing it sooner. One of my coworkers did it, and...

    Anyone run into this....??

    SE_BSN_RN replied to JacknSweetpea's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes, I have, and, I no longer work for that facility. I have no use for "nurses" like that. And that shows me the type of nurse I do NOT want to
