  1. Help with Dosage Calculations!

    nurseprnRN replied to kmek30's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am going to step in here and disagree. We see people all the time here who read a word problem, see a bunch of numbers in it, and run as fast as they can to cram every one of those numbers into a...

  2. Approved VS Accredited

    nurseprnRN replied to cocobrotha's topic in General Students

  3. BSN Schools Without Transfer Prerequisites?

    nurseprnRN replied to nursing5275's topic in General Students

  4. ADN vs BSN Battle

    nurseprnRN replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You're entitled to hold this opinion if you like, but the data are against you, both in hiring and in outcomes. But you already know that. Educational Levels of Hospital Nurses and Surgical Patient...

  5. Volunteering/Experience

    nurseprnRN replied to qwertyytrewq's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The best person to answer that is the admissions advisor at your target nursing program. It's different

  6. AS or AA ?

    nurseprnRN replied to Alexandrasmiles's topic in General Nursing

    You are completely correct. I was originally thinking about the acclerated BS-in-anything-to MN program, and then realized the OP wasn't asking about that but did't change it back. Thanks for the...

  8. You will all probably hate me for this

    nurseprnRN replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Bless his heart, my sweet husband thinks so. :) Not too bad for an old bat. Although when my GYN asked me if I were having any menopausal symptoms, hot flashes, night sweats, and the like, I said,...

    nurseprnRN replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Nah, just like the students -- I make it all up as I go along. God'll getcha for that,

  10. You will all probably hate me for this

    nurseprnRN replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Fallacy here: Nurses in general do not have a lot of contempt for the people they treat, any more than shopkeepers do for the members of the public they serve, or teachers do for students and parents,...

    nurseprnRN replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    No, literally. I did not write the NANDA-I book, although have contributed my on various diagnoses when asked, am on a NANDA-I committee (entirely volunteer, so no conflict of interest when I...

  12. AS or AA ?

    nurseprnRN replied to Alexandrasmiles's topic in General Nursing

    To be a nurse you can take a number of paths to be eligible to take the NCLEX licensure exam, but all of them are specific, not general. One of the following must be completed before you can think...

  13. bon

    nurseprnRN replied to butterfly1983's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    For bank scams, a fun way to make them waste their time is to let them think they've got a live one for a few emails-- never giving any real information, of course, but perhaps your beloved husband...

  14. License with wrong spelling of middle name

    nurseprnRN replied to Vkearn's topic in General Nursing

    "Spelt" might indicate that the writer was educated more in the British system, where this form is still acceptable. Otherwise, you're completely

  16. RN after PhD?

    nurseprnRN replied to crazyphd's topic in General Nursing

    What do you want to do with your RN? Work bedside until you retire? It's harder and harder for people to get even bedside jobs without the bachelor's in nursing, so you might as well bite the big one...

  17. You will all probably hate me for this

    nurseprnRN replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Never try to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person. I have this plaque upon my office wall: Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig. Unfortunately, as a...

  19. what do you say to friends who want to copy

    nurseprnRN replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    That sounds useful and functional and collegial. All good sounds. :yelclap: Suggestion for less-functional study groups: At the end of every session, decide on the topics for the next one. If (for...

  20. what do you say to friends who want to copy

    nurseprnRN replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Be prepared for her to pitch a fit, imply that if she does poorly it will be your fault, and say that she never liked you anyway and especially now that you have shown your true colors. Obviously, if...

  21. Being Prepared

    nurseprnRN replied to amazinga921's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your college should have an academic success center (or whatever they call it) with people who can help you with test-taking skills and strategies. Run, do not walk, to see them and get in their...

  22. Follow my heart or follow fear

    nurseprnRN replied to Treu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you want to improve your life, chances for employment, and self-esteem, don't waste your time on LPN. Go to the ADN program, pass NCLEX, and plan to start your BSN immediately after that. As to...

  23. Transferring dependent pt

    nurseprnRN replied to cracklingkraken's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You're doing the right thing by working out if you can't get the lift soon. If the gym you go to offers trainer advice, have him/her focus on developing your core strength, because that's what gets...

  25. IRSC to UMass?

    nurseprnRN replied to xvxjared's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you get a FL RN license and move to MA, you can always apply to the BoN for a MA license. You'd have to be here anyway to go to UMass. :) OP, are you
