  1. Holistic Nurses, what are your thoughts on GMO's

    JustMeRN replied to HeatherMax's topic in Holistic

    I love how we are all judgmental, but you are the only one calling names. You do realize everything you eat and drink is a chemical, Right? So you comment is rather silly. The problem is not with...

  2. Orientation for New Grad in Home Health

    JustMeRN replied to NewGradRN114's topic in Home Health

    home care is not the place for a new grad, sorry. The way you learn and grow skills is by working with others and learning from them. Home care orientations are generally short because it is expected...

    JustMeRN replied to HeatherMax's topic in Holistic

    Can you please link to a specific study that proves organic foods are healthier or safer than traditional foods? its great that you grow your own foods. But, that is not an option most people have. I...

  5. Pregnant, scared, emetophobe, nursing student

    JustMeRN replied to Zerocks's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, and another thing. Through both of my pregnancies I dealt with significant nausea for the first trimester, but never vomitted once. So it's not a given you will

  6. Pregnant, scared, emetophobe, nursing student

    JustMeRN replied to Zerocks's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, talk to a professional. But, on a supportive note. My second pregnancy was unplanned, unexpected, unwanted. I cried, screamed, was soooo mad, secretly prayed I would miscarry. It took until 2...

  7. Where are all of the holistic nurses?

    JustMeRN replied to PaleoNurse's topic in Holistic

    With your attitude about medicine you are barking up the wrong tree Pursuing nursing. You will not get through nursing school without administering the medications and treatments you turn your nose up...

  8. 46 credits to complete. Is it doable in 2 terms?

    JustMeRN replied to 501diabetesnurse's topic in Western Governors University

    I did 40 credits in 10 months. I work part time, have 2 very busy kids and quite a lot of other time commitments. I worked consistently, but not constantly. Took a month off around the holidays. The...

  9. LVN to RN to BSN, LVN to BSN or Skip LVN?

    JustMeRN replied to jengarcia87's topic in Nursing Career

    Depends on where you live and what your end goal is. Here in New England there are very few job opportunities for an LVN. Look at help wanted adds and see what if like in your area if getting a job...

  10. Where are all of the holistic nurses?

    JustMeRN replied to PaleoNurse's topic in Holistic

    Well, preventative care is not new, and certainly makes a huge difference in outcome and disease management. If you want to be in a preventative care position you are going to have to become more...

  11. New RN, Need info on Independant Home health care

    JustMeRN replied to erinmicheletti's topic in Home Health

    What you are talking about is private duty not home health. Honestly, sounds like a terrible idea for a new grad nurse. No chance to develope skills and

  12. BSN bigotry

    JustMeRN replied to Delilahdj's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think based on the title of the thread the op feels as though s/he is being discrimated against in jobs because s/he had a bachelors degree in something else. Maybe be my shiny new BSN can get me a...

  13. The elephant in the room

    JustMeRN replied to Kssrn404's topic in General Nursing

    The truth without too many details is good. My children had a difficult time with being sick while in daycare and it cost more in medical bills than I was making. They needed me at home and we...

  14. BSN degree seems off topic

    JustMeRN replied to Wayne47's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    no, I don't agree with you at all. I just completed my BSN, and I have been a nurse 16 years with an ASN. Every single class, every credit hour, every paper has benefitted me in some way. One of the...

  15. WGU Graduates

    JustMeRN replied to WJewell's topic in Western Governors University

    Yes, it's all self paced and you can potentially finish quickly, but you do have to have a good deal of time to move quickly. Do you already have a bsn? I believe the average time for Rn to bsn is...

  16. part-time/PRN work from home options

    JustMeRN replied to yasonjoto's topic in General Nursing

    I just finished my bsn with Wgu, all the course instructors were at least MSN, and many dpn. Student mentors I believe are required to be MSN, and require a full time commitment. I occassionally see...

  17. Transitional Care in Home Health

    JustMeRN replied to keyairrn's topic in Home Health

    I recently took on a transitional care role, but my agencies definition of that role is slightly different. We admit a certain group of high risk patients to home care with close relationships with...

  18. WGU homework type

    JustMeRN replied to chanib143's topic in Western Governors University

    Yes. It was annoying and uncomfortable but not really a big deal at the end of the

  19. RN-BSN @ WGU

    JustMeRN replied to dmiller2720's topic in Western Governors University

    Wether or not it's doable depends a lot on you (prior experience, work schedule, home life). I completed 40 credits in 11 months working part time with a very busy home life. Good

  20. Has anyone quit wgu?

    JustMeRN replied to pixiestudent2's topic in Western Governors University

    You don't get to choose your mentor, and the vast majority of them are very helpful and accommodating. Take the complaints with a grain of salt, in my experience there are other unsaid things going...

  21. WGU RN-BSN

    JustMeRN replied to stephalina6's topic in Western Governors University

    I don't think this class assignment is a good indication of the material in the program, no. What exactly are you concerned might not be a good fit? The health assessment video is really an annoying,...

  22. WGU homework type

    JustMeRN replied to chanib143's topic in Western Governors University

    There's no homework per say because it's all home work. Your coursework is layed out in the course of study culminating in tests and / or papers as your final class assessment. There are assigned...

  23. To take at local community college or when I'm at WGU?

    JustMeRN replied to pmabraham's topic in Western Governors University

    At WGU passing depends on the class. The grading of exams is a little different. The course mentors determine what percentage score would equate to mastery of a certain percentage of course content...

  24. I want to complete the RN to BSN program in 1 term

    JustMeRN replied to nightflower's topic in Western Governors University

    Firstly, don't decide your mentor is your enemy, or that your are going to have to fight. You need a relationship with your mentor, and starting out assuming you won't be working for the same thing is...

  25. Prospective student

    JustMeRN replied to Bhanuszczak's topic in Western Governors University

    The great thing is you can figure it out as you go. If you finish all 17 you pull another class up and keep on going. I found the later classes to be harder, so definitely get as many done as you can...
