  1. Can I be a nurse without majoring in BSN?

    Green Tea, RN replied to 4pplepie99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why dont you become a nurse aide and see if you really wanna work in healthcare in general? It does not even require you to have a degree. From my experience and observation, many young people tend to...

  2. Feeling like I made the wrong decision by getting into nursing

    Green Tea, RN replied to Rickettsia_typhi's topic in General Students

    Out of curiosity, why did you come back to school for a BSN even though you have a degree in Chemistry/Biology

  3. What is it like to work in a good hospital?

    Green Tea, RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    One day I was doing chitchat with my co-worker. She said she wanted to work at another hospital located a few hours away, but she mentioned it was very hard to get hired into the hospital because no...

  4. Feedback appreciated

    Green Tea, RN replied to jinct's topic in General Nursing

    I feel the other nurse's practice sounds fishy, but.. If you were told to discontinue the order of 2.5mg haldol for discharge by the provider, you should have documented it so on MAR. There should not...

  5. Scared to leave nursing

    Green Tea, RN replied to nurse_982's topic in General Nursing

    I have three years of experiences (med-surg and OR) in nursing, and I'm getting ready to the exit. I am in a program (master's degree in a STEM field), and I will be out of nursing in a year. I'm...

  6. Ohio Hospital Fires 23 After Fentanyl Overdose Deaths

    Green Tea, RN replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    If you, as a staff nurse, were assigned to have Husel's patient and had orders to administer the lethal amount of meds, no matter what choice you made, you would be ended up in trouble. If you...

  8. Depressed anti social low self esteem. What to do?

    Green Tea, RN replied to epinephrine1mg's topic in General Nursing

    I was surprised that I have a lot of similarities with you. I'm not from the us. I came to this country when I was 18 and I didn't know how to speak English at the time. What makes things complicated...

  9. Is this for Me?

    Green Tea, RN replied to Mr. Confused's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I like turtlesRcool's advice. In addition, I would recommend you to check the market in your area first unlness you are willing to relocate. I live in an undesirable area so nursing jobs are...

  10. Going into nursing with no prior medical experience. Am I insane?

    Green Tea, RN replied to Mmonroe2004's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Having experiences working with patients before becoming a nurse may be beneficial (like you can see what it is like to take care of patients), but it is not a must. I personally did not have such an...

  11. ARE MOST RN SCHOOLS LIKE THIS??

    Green Tea, RN replied to Anon143's topic in School, College Programs

    My school required to get at least 75% (even every syllabi in nursing school noted "74.9% will not be rounded up to 75%"). If a student failed two classes, s/he was kicked out. No mandatory tutoring...

  12. I should continue with the nursing program or change my degree?

    Green Tea, RN replied to Joanna369's topic in General Students

    I was like you when I was in a nursing school. I realized I didn't like nursing but I didn't quit nursing school because it was competitive to get in the program (I studied a lot) and I did not find...

  13. Paramedic looking for a career change...

    Green Tea, RN replied to NYCNative21's topic in General Students

    Your post reminds me my coworker (not an RN) who works in the same hospital with me. He is a little older than you and wants to be a PA eventually. What i do not understand about him is that he is in...

  14. How many people made it to the end of the program?

    Green Tea, RN replied to Snatchedwig's topic in General Students

    Started with 70 and graduated with

  15. Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    Green Tea, RN replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    I know a couple nurses at my workplace who chose nursing as a second career. They could not make a living with their first bachelor's degree, so they got their BSN on top. Nowadays, many college...

  16. Sitting down - New nurse looking for advice

    Green Tea, RN replied to MgoBlue37's topic in General Nursing

    I was shocked when I was told that one of my friends (an RN) broke her back at work and ended up being forced out. She was still in her 20s with less than a year of nursing experience. After it...

  17. Is this nursing?

    Green Tea, RN replied to Catalin's topic in General Nursing

    I can relate totally. And you know what? I currently work as an RN part time and go to school for my master's degree (in a STEM field). One of a few good things about nursing is that many nursing jobs...

  18. So conflicted..hate current job..two new options

    Green Tea, RN replied to brindlenurse's topic in Nursing Career

    I work in OR. OR is quite different from other nursing specialities. Surgeon, assistant, CRNA, and/or surgical tech can be nasty/abusive in a closed operating room. I definitely would not recommended...

  19. I Desperately Want Out

    Green Tea, RN replied to toxiktraktor's topic in Nursing Career

    I didn't like nursing already when I was a nursing student. I didn't quit nursing school because I worked so hard to get in to the program. I didn't wanna waste my hard work. I have been a nurse for...

  20. What would you do if nursing staff refuses do carry out your request?

    Green Tea, RN replied to Saflanut's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think there is a possibility that your request of "tick check" is not clear to your nurses. If a tick (a foreign object) is on skin, I will figure it out for sure. But what about it if a tick bit...

  21. Did you take a risk?

    Green Tea, RN replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the poster that people complain whatever, but only a few of them actually make a move. I have been a nurse about three years (a year of bedside and the rest in OR). I had been thinking to...

  22. Are my hours being cut?

    Green Tea, RN replied to alieu4's topic in General Students

    You cannot expect too much about financial stability if you are PRN. You can ask your colleagues if they want a day off and you may be able to pick up a shift. I work with a PRN nurse. We used to be...

  23. Failed A&P 1... idk what to do

    Green Tea, RN replied to cardenas_a's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How much were you prepared to take the class? I took anatomy and physiology 1 & 2 over a summer and took As on both. How did I do? Actually on Day 1, I was already familiar with the subject...

  24. Job opportunities in a new state for a new grad?

    Green Tea, RN replied to UnapologeticallyCurly's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It depends on where you wanna move to soon after graduating from nursing program. If you are moving to an area which is desperate for nurses, it will not be hard to get a job. I live in one of those...

  25. Patient had terrible fall

    Green Tea, RN replied to neuron's topic in General Nursing

    Does your facility have a policy for patient's
