  1. Would you quit over white uniforms?

    QuietRiot replied to TexMex22's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I would! I don't look cute in white. It doesn't bring out my shape either. I like dark colors like blues and purples.. I look really cute in purple. If I don't look cute! I can't...

  2. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    QuietRiot replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    And this should not be allowed. If you have not proven to be competent as a floor nurse, you should not be allowed entry into a MSN program! And surely not admitted into a NP

  3. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    QuietRiot replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I was considering going to a Diploma program as I need the intensive hands on training. I have decided to work as a CNA and then LPN ( the adn program has the lpn built into it) and build my skills...

  4. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    QuietRiot replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    @ Jules A do you really need a BSN? Well, No its not needed. But what do you expect when the job market is tight for new ADN graduates? I know a lot of hospitals in my area (Chicago) are requiring...

  5. Why are magnet hospitals bad?

    QuietRiot replied to golson's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It might as well be, because the two are highly correlated! The desire to pursue magnet status usually means a push for most or all nurses to obtain a Bsn. It is definitely a latent

  8. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    QuietRiot replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I used to wonder why the PT's went from a BS to PHD in what seems like overnight. They did this to protect themselves. To protect their livelihood, income and job prospects...and it now takes about...

  9. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    QuietRiot replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I do agree with you however, in defense of the younger generations I must say 1. We are graduating with a lot more debt. 2.We are also being told that we need a BSN and when its time to get a job, we...

  11. Get the Bsn or leave nursing?

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

    Medical Device sales would love you. And they pay really

  12. Get the Bsn or leave nursing?

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

    So her 10+ years of Nursing EXPERIENCE isn't competitive? The push towards a BSN is poppycock. She won't learn anything in a BSN that will remotely compete with 10yrs of

  13. How do you feel about professors locking the door?

    QuietRiot replied to Amnesty's topic in General Students

    I can see for those who are habitually late, but to lock the doors just because you can

  14. Please help! need to make a decision by 2/19

    QuietRiot replied to jayh77's topic in Washington Nursing

    If Renton is not accredited by th National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) or Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) Then the program is not accredited as far as you're...

    As it

  16. Please help! need to make a decision by 2/19

    QuietRiot replied to jayh77's topic in Washington Nursing

    If the other school is not accredited, then there is no competition between the two

  17. How do you feel about professors locking the door?

    QuietRiot replied to Amnesty's topic in General Students

    So, out of fear of the Ak47 toting vigilantes, they locked the doors to all the nursing classrooms?

  18. PA vs NP and Recommended Texts for the Latter

    QuietRiot replied to ChronicSG's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sure. I will be a mid level even though I provide the same care and I am held to the same outcomes as my physician colleague. Yes according to the Federal Gov, several major insurance carriers, pure...

  19. Will I get in trouble with the State Board of Nursing

    QuietRiot replied to aetienn6's topic in School

    Are you referring to the TAO that is found in Walgreens and other drugs stores (more often than not) OTC? IMO, the parents are doing a little much, over some glorified Vaseline being applied to their...

  20. PA vs NP and Recommended Texts for the Latter

    QuietRiot replied to ChronicSG's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well, naturally that's Biased. But of course the AANP would disagree and the fact that the AANP has to address it just further proves my point, that NPs are considered Mid-levels, despite the...

  21. PA vs NP and Recommended Texts for the Latter

    QuietRiot replied to ChronicSG's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    PAs would have no hope winning even if they fought...they are controlled by the docs. NPs...the docs try to control but don't have control. But, not too long ago they were saying NPs would never have...

  22. PA vs NP and Recommended Texts for the Latter

    QuietRiot replied to ChronicSG's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Definition: Mid-level practitioners, more commonly referred to as advanced practice clinicians are health care providers who have received less training and have a more restricted scope of practice...

  23. PA vs NP and Recommended Texts for the Latter

    QuietRiot replied to ChronicSG's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't think their autonomy is due to their education level at all (as in compares to NPs). Autonomy (as it pertains to mid levels) is political! They (PAs) don't fight for autonomy like the nursing...

  24. PA vs NP and Recommended Texts for the Latter

    QuietRiot replied to ChronicSG's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm sure there is a clinic out there that prefers PA's over NPs and I know for a fact there are some not so good NPs. With that being said,If you feel a PA's curriculum is better then for it. Go for...

  25. Online Nursing Schools vs Traditional Schools

    QuietRiot replied to canwil2082's topic in General Nursing

    @ Elkpark The difference could very well be the 50k price
