  5. New grads in specialties without the basics

    ajmclean replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I agree about no bad habits to break. Start in a specialty area, you won't have to learn all over again, or retrain your muscle

  6. New grads in specialties without the basics

    ajmclean replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of great, and varied, responses. A new grad should be able to TRY and work in a specialty area. As previously noted, med/surg is a specialty. During my clinicals, there have been plenty of times...

    ajmclean replied to BumbleBuddy's topic in Men in Nursing

  9. How were you able to decide you could handle an ACCEL nursing program?

    ajmclean replied to BanannaFish's topic in School, College Programs

  11. How were you able to decide you could handle an ACCEL nursing program?

    ajmclean replied to BanannaFish's topic in School, College Programs

  14. I got reported to HR

    ajmclean replied to katie92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Trump was not race-baiting. He was accurately describing that some of the ILLEGAL ALIENS, which makes them criminals, are already criminals, rapists, murderers, etc., before leaving Mexico. He also...

  15. I got reported to HR

    ajmclean replied to katie92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Katie92, You did nothing wrong. Your question was taken the wrong way. Since she went to HR, you can't try to resolve this at your/her level. Stick to your guns when you talk to HR. Don't back

    ajmclean replied to Longa's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what accelerated programs you have looked at, or where you reside, but Keiser University in Florida is great. They have 12 campuses and it's 16 months straight through. As for bogus...

  22. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    ajmclean replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not to mention that blacks today have no personal experience with slavery either. Just as I have no personal experience of the slavery and institutional discrimination that my Irish ancestors endured....

  24. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    ajmclean replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, Dogen. I'm just tired of race being injected all the time, and in this case, before the fact. The OP has a Bachelor's and a Master's. Obviously her race didn't hurt in those two endeavors. After...
