  1. Military spouse overseas

    Probably a long shot but has anyone been successful finding a preceptor in an overseas military treatment facility? I am in Okinawa and I hope to get the credentialing for the clinics here so I don't have to go back CONUS for clinicals.
  2. School Nurse Salary?

    I sent you a PM. I just arrived in Oki and would love to meet other nurses :)
  3. University of Colorado Colorado Springs (FNP)

    Sent you a PM. :)
  4. University of Colorado Colorado Springs (FNP)

    Hi. Congratulations on getting in! I will start in the Spring semester. If you don't mind answering, I do have a question about the clinicals. The schedule says 45 hours of practicum for advanced health assessment; since we find our own preceptors c...
  5. Online NP School - Clinicals overseas

    I know this an old post but by any chance, OP, have you found a school that will allow you to do practicum overseas? Thanks.
  6. Ebook or Textbook?

    Get the physical book. Aside from what all the posters above mentioned, you can always sell the book when you are done. An even better option is renting it. It is 1/4 of the price, you send it back when the class is over, and most of the time they pa...
  7. Graduate Nursing schools with no GRE

    If you want to become a NP, you still have to take the state boards to be able to practice. I assume this will be like the NCLEX - timed.
  8. ANA membership?

    I just cancelled my membership with ANA since I have not seen any benefits to me. $200+/year adds up and I'd rather pay membership to my specialty group and my liability insurance for less than what I am paying ANA. I am also back in school for my BS...
  9. I feel like a glorified maid

    That sucks. I hope it gets better. I currently work in a onsite family practice clinic and although there's a huge pay cut (vs hospital), there is less stress. Sure, those "customers" still need to be satisfied but I am in a position where I can tell...
  10. Anyone RNs have worked for Provant Health Solutions?

    Awaiting response. I received an email from this company and will be attending the online orientation next week to learn what they are all about. I will post once I get info. Anyone else?
  11. Old New Grad - Over 1 Year without a Job

    This is an old post but I will reply to it because I wanted to let old "new grads" know that there is hope. I graduated in Fall '09, got my license a month after graduation and then immediately (as in 3 days after I took the NCLEX) moved overseas du...
  12. Do you ever correct people about medical stuff?

    My husband keeps using "diaretic" when my kids have a bout of diarrhea. "He's been diaretic all day, hon. What should we do?" I do not have the heart to tel him to stop using the damn term when he has spent all day changing diapers of a "diaretic" to...
  13. I'm getting terminated from my first nursing job

    Dude, that was their opinion. LOL!. :)
  14. I'm getting terminated from my first nursing job

    So you did admit you did a stupid thing. Congratulations! Next step would be to face the consequences - good or bad. If you get fired, man up just like what some folks here said, try to not to burn (or blow up) the bridge, exit quietly with whatever ...
