  7. Any Mormon/LDS nurses here? I need help?

    JKL33 said it all- I have no children and nurses in all the 4 countries I have worked do lots of compromises for their kids' schedules- we who do not have kids do not judge them- why are people so...
  8. My children made the choice for me

    Good for you. If you can afford financially, absolutely noble decision to take care of yr kids while they are young and needy. Many women do take off to raise young children and return to work at...

  10. CMSRN or CCRN? Both?

    Ooops! My bad. I am only realizing this was about CCRN Vs CMSRN. I was thinking ANCC-not CCRN- which certifies multiple specialties including med-surg. I am considering med-surg certification as...
  11. CMSRN or CCRN? Both?

    I think there is some prestige to CCRN...I have no reason for thinking that way except its better known because it certifies multiple specialties. However, I prefer CMSRN because its specific to...

  19. Should I quit nursing school?

    Can I like that a 100 times? Such cynical dismissal of nurses or nurses-in-the-making who have real struggles with the profession is the reason many cower from being open about it! There are some...
  20. Most Phillipino BSNs are able to register easily in both the USA and Canada. For most who don't, the biggest challenges are the English proficiency tests, and in some states, the CGFNS exam (a nursing...
  21. Unless something changed recently, a BScN is not a requirement for working in BC for foreign trained RNs in good standing. However, the best is to apply to NNAS / SNEI, they shd be able to assess your...
  22. You will all probably hate me for this
