    80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Jedrnurse replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    While it's certainly not a panacea, I've always thought that administrative/managerial nurses should be required to pick up a proscribed number of staff shifts working in the facility that they're...

    80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    CEUs

    Jedrnurse replied to Lee132's topic in General Nursing

    My state requires 15 contact hours every two years. I actually don't think that's enough. One hour a month would give you 24 in a licensure period. The importance depends on the quality of the...

    BULLYING at work as Usual

    Jedrnurse replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't use and abuse the word "bullied". It dilutes the meaning and when people actually are bullied, it's just another "cry bully." Not getting what you want or being treated unfairly (in...

    If I could redesign the system, I'd bring back the diploma programs with options to continue on to complete a bachelor's degree in a convenient/seamless way. Diploma-trained nurses were some of the...

    80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Jedrnurse replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure how that would work as a graduating nursing student probably couldn't be expected to be beyond minimally competent. Expertise and increased competence would come with actual nursing...

    80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Jedrnurse replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Moving to Massachusetts

    Jedrnurse replied to Brownelfin's topic in General Nursing

    I was referring to Developmental Disabilities, primarily, but there may be some Adult Day Health programs in that area as well. I'm from the Boston area, so I'm not sure who the "players" are in...

    Jedrnurse replied to Brownelfin's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, you will have a difficult time finding an inpt. job/straight days with your level of experience/credentials. You may want to look into human services agencies, the ones that run both day...

    The paragraph is your friend, really!

    Jedrnurse posted a topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    A lot of folks put a fair amount of effort into writing sometimes lengthy posts. I promise you that they'll be read more often (and on some level taken more seriously) if you insert paragraph...

    ADN program starting now vs my aspirations towards and MD or DO: What do you think I should do?

    Jedrnurse replied to MDBoy's topic in General Students

    Have you had any experience in patient care? If not, you may want to ease into it a bit with the EMT route. You can continue to take college classes that would be applicable to various routes as well,...
