Daddie O BSN, RN

I have been accepted! I start January 8th. Wish me luck!

I have not attended Walden, but I have a few coworkers that have and I asked them about their experiences. They both felt that Walden did not do a good job of preparing them to be PMHNPs. They stated that they had to do everything on their own. Th...

In California the law states patient nurse ratio on a psych unit is no more than 6:1

I'm a guy and I passed in 75 questions.

I went to a very competitive nursing school. Everyone accepted to the program was a straight A student before the program. Pretty much no one was by the end. It was hard at first to accept you won't get an A in everything, but not having a 4.0 whe...

If you passed then it should be posted on CA breeze already

I bet your licence posts about 11:45 pm tonight.

Part of the problem is our education system. It rewards memorization skills instead of critical thinking skills. Obviously both skills are necessary, especially in the nursing profession. Instead of being able to memorize a correct answer you are ...

Hi everybody! I recently graduated nursing school with honors while earning my BSN. I was actively involved in student government, and continue to volunteer. Since graduating I've earned my ACLS, PALS, and NIHSS certifications. I went on my first...

I'm shocked at the "slip medication into his food" when the patient is non-compliant. This not only violates the ethical principle of autonomy, but I believe it constitutes battery.

There is a lot of bacteria in the mouth, and if you don't do oral suction first you may introduce bacteria into the respiratory tract.

Congrats! You should add RN to your name now :) I'm waiting for the ATT from the BRN and then I'll schedule my test.

Thanks for all the work you do!

I love my Littmann Master Cardiology. I made it through nursing school and no one walked away with it. I had it engraved as well. I didn't mind spending $100 more for it as I use it all the time. It also came with a cool adapter for when I was on...

I live in California, and just graduated from a BSN program. Nursing schools in CA will not accept a student with a D in anatomy. Only ADN programs at community colleges or private BSN schools will accept students with a 3.0 GPA. In any case you m...

In California nursing schools are all impacted and very competitive. I agree with the poster that recommended LVN to RN to BSN route. It's longer and more expensive, but really your only option. You may have to go the private school route.

Please complete your nonparenteral medication skills checkoff while I silently judge you.

I'm just graduating a BSN program from a very competitive state school. I did all my pre-reqs at community colleges. My tuition at the state school wax about $16K for 2 years accelerated program. If the nursing programs in your area are impacted, ...

I'm a BSN student, so my response will be from that perspective. One benefit of the BSN curriculum is the experience of my clinical rotations on different units. Some units that I had been drawn to, I don't care for as much as some units I initiall...

I am about to start in an accelerated BSN program. I have no experience working as a nurse, but it seems obvious that experience would be the greatest asset when it comes to patient outcomes. That being said, the requirements to get into a BSN prog...

Thanks! It was nice meeting you at CPR training. See you at orientation!

I live in Elk Grove so I will commute, but it will take less than half an hour.
