1. As a NP do you miss bedside care?

   TRAUMARN96 replied to Love_2_Learn's topic in NP

   I'm not an NP, but I'm toying with the idea. I do, however, work (or have worked in the past) with NP's working as staff RN's. You're still an RN, right?? So I don't think there would be too many hospitals not willing to hire a per diem RN due to b...

2. Master's Degree in Emergency Nursing & Disaster Management

   TRAUMARN96 replied to TRAUMARN96's topic in Post Graduate

   NURSING.ADELPHI.EDU Then click on Graduate programs, you'll see it listed. The only downfall if you live out of state is that they require you to attend class 3-4 times a semester. But there are other programs out there as well. Hopefully cheaper too...

5. What Degree do I need to teach??

   TRAUMARN96 replied to TRAUMARN96's topic in Post Graduate

   Any suggestions for getting over this public speaking fear that I have. I've been told I'm a really good teacher (which is usually one on one), but even though I have considered teaching I still have a fear of being the center of attention. Surpris...

   You guys are the best! I only joined this forum a few days ago after stumbling across it accidentally. I am so glad I did. You all have some really great advice, and you can never hear too much of that. I'm open to hear any additional advice, but...

9. Survey: Do you use humor to help put your patients at ease?

   TRAUMARN96 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   Yes. I use humor all the time. You just need to know who your audience is first, or you could be found offensive.

10. Why are nurses so important?

    TRAUMARN96 replied to katieRNlove's topic in General Nursing

    We are important because we need to take all the abuse from the patients, so that way they can be nice to the doctors who are the ones who made them wait so long in the first place. Did I mention I work in an ER??

    TRAUMARN96 replied to feenie's topic in General Nursing

    A Littman Stethescope. I love them, and he'll be able to use it in any field of nursing he chooses. I wouldn't want anyone to pick out uniforms/shoes for me. I'm way too picky, but he may appreciate that idea too. Gift certificate is a good idea ...

    TRAUMARN96 replied to twizum's topic in CNS

    Having another Bachelor's Degree may not be a bad idea. There are some hospitals that will not hire you without one. Other hospitals are beginning to phase out hiring new nurses with only an Associate Degree or Diploma. There are a lot of schools tha...

    TRAUMARN96 replied to xjae's topic in New York

    Hi. I don't have any information or insight on the schools other than Farmingdale. That's where I went. I think it was a good school. My classroom and clinical instructors were good. Some better than others, as you will find anywhere, but overal...
