  3. How hard is CRNA programs vs NP programs?

  4. Nursing Admissions: A Frustrated Student's Manifesto

    ED Nurse, RN replied to medicapoetica's topic in General Nursing

    You gathered enough information after applying to ONE school for a "manifesto?" This "article" can't be serious- it's satire, right? You seem to love the thesaurus- I have found that people who feel...

    ED Nurse, RN replied to imsickagain's topic in General Nursing

    It says a lot about a persons character when you become defensive and hostile because you don't hear the answer you like. Nursing isn't about you, it's about safe and effective patient care. If you...

  8. What's it like having a flexible work schedule?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to LucidDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    Getting advice from strangers on the Internet to shape what your future may look like, is quite naive. Why not go speak with actual, real people, in person? Why not find out what's it like by...

  9. Have you ever worked with someone who had such a nasty attitude that it was almost hostile

    ED Nurse, RN replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If strangers opinions on the internet distress you so much to the point you need to announce your separation from such, the Internet, is not for you. Lighten up, this is a great place if you don't...

  11. Have you ever worked with someone who had such a nasty attitude that it was almost hostile

    ED Nurse, RN replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So, OP is never coming back, huh? What a shame- we are probably all bullies now. If this special snowflake could just swallow her pride she may have learned some valuable lessons

  13. When to start applying for RN jobs?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to g.elizabeth's topic in General Nursing

    Applying for a job now is not a good idea. When I have open job positions, I'm not going to hire someone and hold that position open for possibly almost a year- you graduate in December and have to...

  15. Do Bachelor's Degrees Save Lives? - The Facts about Earning a BSN

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Rasmussen University's topic in General Nursing

    Factoring in the standard deviation will basically equate to an equal pass rate for BSN and ASN. However, I stand behind my previous post of evolving our profession and what it takes to do

  16. Do Bachelor's Degrees Save Lives? - The Facts about Earning a BSN

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Rasmussen University's topic in General Nursing

    ED Nurse, RN replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in General Nursing

    I code people on a daily basis- we had two at the same time a few nights ago. Unless you have ACLS you are not able to administer meds in a code situation. Even if you could, you should NEVER...

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Dgardella's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You do know getting a masters degree does not equate to being an NP, right? There are numerous other nursing masters degrees you can obtain that are not an NP. Why not have masters prepared bedside...
