  1. Transition from RN to MD. Need some advice please!

    Gods child replied to Slayer's topic in General Nursing

    There are also several med schools that do not require a Bachelors degree. For instance, the one I am thinking about applying to only requires 3 years of college and the completion of the...

  2. Everyone and their dog

    Gods child replied to zaga21's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It is that way where I live as well. I read all of these articles about how there is nothing to worry about because there will be plenty of jobs available due to the baby boomers aging and the...

  3. CRNA salary in 1980s

    Gods child replied to zaga21's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have never heard about the pay being better in the 80's. I have heard rumors that the pay of CRNA's is not expected to increase much, and in some instances may even decrease (on average). I don't...

  4. LPN to RN through testing?

    Gods child replied to mc3's topic in General Nursing

    There is a weekend LPN-RN program at a Community College a few hours from me (they are in class all day, I think its from 8-5 or 9-4). I think more programs like that would benefit some LPN's...

  5. LPN to RN through testing?

    Gods child replied to mc3's topic in General Nursing

    I see. I don't think it is too much to ask to take pre-requisites. The accelerated programs have pre-requisites as well. The 64 credit hours for the LPN-BSN program sounds extreme at first, but is...

  6. LPN to RN through testing?

    Gods child replied to mc3's topic in General Nursing

    Accelerated programs aren't trying to bypass continuing education by "testing out of" anything. I know of several people who have completed an LPN-RN bridge program in about 15 months (or less)....

  7. LPN to RN through testing?

    Gods child replied to mc3's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there should be any shortcuts to becoming an RN. In the time it would take to get the five years experience as an LPN one could have already completed an LPN-RN program. However, I do...

  8. 4.0 GPA ...Great memorizing abilities.Yes...Good thinking/reasoning skills maybe not!

    Gods child replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    I agree, especially with the bolded statement. The goal of my reply was just to point out the downside to interviewing nursing candidates. The good probably outweighs the

  9. 4.0 GPA ...Great memorizing abilities.Yes...Good thinking/reasoning skills maybe not!

    Gods child replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I understand that. I was simply saying that was one of the possible problems that could arise from an interview. I agree, most jobs require an interview, but even then there is still the...

  10. 4.0 GPA ...Great memorizing abilities.Yes...Good thinking/reasoning skills maybe not!

    Gods child replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    Well, that could actually be the case. The people on the selection committee are not immune to having personal bias. For example, I have read here that one can tell who would make a good nurse...

  11. Everyone and their dog

    Gods child replied to zaga21's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yes, I have noticed that just about everyone I have spoken to wants to be a CRNA. I think I liked it better when CRNA's were "the best kept secret in

  12. AA school

    Gods child replied to staygold's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't know about your area, but where I live you can get hired as an Anesthesia Tech with paid on the job training. This might be something you want to look into before you start the

  13. "Just" a 2-year degree

    Gods child replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking the same thing. Although earning an ADN may take some people longer than two years to complete, it is still considered a two year

  14. Plan B

    Gods child replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    I'm personally against Plan B, because I'm one of those weirdoes that doesn't believe in premarital sex or birth control for myself. But it would not bother me if other people used it as they see

  15. Racism in the workplace

    Gods child replied to staygold's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, we need more people like you in this world. I can't believe that someone posted something on here which basically said oh well, just deal with it, we can't change it. If that were the case I...

  16. Racism in the workplace

    Gods child replied to staygold's topic in General Nursing

    I get that all the time. Although I am interracial, I am still considered "black" and people constantly tell me I sound

  17. Best way to deal with rudeness?

    Gods child posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In general, what is your approach to dealing with inappropriate or rude remarks from co-workers? Don’t be shy- I really want to

  18. Best way to deal with rudeness?

    Gods child replied to Gods child's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    After reading over some of the posts I realized that most of the things were not worth getting upset over, but I have to admit some things still bother me. To be more specific, I have one particular...

  19. Best way to deal with rudeness?

    Gods child replied to Gods child's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You're a genius. I think I will start to use similar tactics.

  20. Does this bother you?

    Gods child posted a topic in General Nursing

    I read an article in the local paper about a proposal from a prospective governor to create a five-year high school plan in which a student could graduate from high school in five years with an...

  22. Does this bother you?

    Gods child replied to Gods child's topic in General Nursing

    This brings to mind a job listing for truck drivers that I read in the classifieds (in the same paper the article was in) and the company wanted people over 23 to apply (yes 23, not 21). Then on the...

  23. Does this bother you?

    Gods child replied to Gods child's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting.

  24. Does this bother you?

    Gods child replied to Gods child's topic in General Nursing

    What you say is true. I just want to make sure it is clear that I was not refuting the fact that there are benefits of certain vocational skills taught during high. I was simply stating that the...

    Good points. My feelings aren't as hurt
