  3. Job offers... stuck

    ajmclean replied to EMSnut45's topic in General Nursing

  7. Can a Nurse have a Tattoo???

    ajmclean replied to futurenurse'15's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The "no visible tattoos" policy is discriminatory. Pure and simple. Making someone cover it up because you have a personal bias against ink is wrong. Trying to equate professionalism being...

    ajmclean replied to mara.bug's topic in General Students

    KNicolle67, Good words! My phone won't let me reply with a quote of your message. I have never understood why someone with a Master's Degree gets paid so little. A friend is in the field and keeps...

  9. when to apply to nursing school?

    ajmclean replied to cristygonzalez6's topic in School, College Programs

    If you want to be a nurse, apply. Sitting out serves no purpose. Nursing school is very competitive, so apply early. My school required an interview to get accepted into nursing and no interview...

  10. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    ajmclean replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You are starting the obvious that a BSN is a bachelor's program in nursing. The OP is looking for specifics in how it's different. Perhaps mentioning the courses in Leadership, Statistics, etc. might...

    ajmclean replied to katie6126's topic in General Students

  16. Should I quit nursing school?

    ajmclean replied to mara.bug's topic in General Students

    If you are stressing so much that you need to be medicated, it's time for a break. You can call it a sabbatical, a vacation, a leave of absence, or whatever. You have pretty much said you don't have...

  17. Are you encouraging other XYs to pursue nursing?

    ajmclean replied to Amnesty's topic in General Students

  24. Diploma nurses are worthless?!

    ajmclean replied to stephdRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am taking liberty in responding as I am a lowly tadpole. Yes, I am a nursing student. One month in of my 16 month tour. But I can speak intelligently to this. As a former Navy Hospital Corpsman and...
