   Mnstn posted a topic in Doctoral

   Hello! Please let me know if this has been answered elsewhere. I've recently graduated with my MPH in Health Education and Health Promotion. I have been an BSN/RN for around 7 years with a bit over a year of bedside experience, a bit of research...

2. Recert for CPN

   Mnstn posted a topic in Pediatric

   It is time to renew my CPN certification which I've had for I think 4 years. I've been in grad school for public health this year and the nursing for I've done hasn't been pediatric related. Because of this, I don't qualify for work related hours or ...

3. Working on MPH, worth going for MSN?

   Mnstn replied to Mnstn's topic in Public/Community

   I understand that one has to have nursing experience in an area to actually educate. I've been a pediatric RN for 6 years with both inpatient and outpatient experience and now I'm getting my MPH. My question was more, is a MSN worth it or needed to f...

4. Working on MPH, worth going for MSN?

   Mnstn posted a topic in Public/Community

   This may be a bit premature but I can't help but think about the future. I've started a MPH program with a focus on health promotion and behavorial science. I don't have clear cut goals yet but I'm interested program development and evaluation as wel...

5. Burned out on telephone triage

   Mnstn posted a topic in Ambulatory

   I've been doing telephone triage for pediatric and adult neurology clinics for roughly 3 years. I've been burned out for so long. It's exhausting to sit all day, get yelled at on the phone and never be thanked for what I do. I answer between 50 to 70...

   Mnstn replied to Mnstn's topic in Holistic

   Thanks everyone for your support! I started the Wildflower School of Botanical Medicine since they have a weekend program and I'm in Texas but if I ever plan to go further into the advanced stuff I'll need to move closer. A lot of their students have...

   Mnstn posted a topic in Educators

   I am considering applying for several MSN Education programs. I have a background in pediatrics but aside from that not really anything specific to education. Does anyone have suggestions for things I could do to bolster my application to make me mor...

9. Research assistant job

   Mnstn replied to gizmopacurn's topic in Research

   I can't speak for everyone who has been hired in research nursing but I know that when I was hired as a research nurse coordinator they specifically were comfortable with someone who had no research background. I still think there would be a chance f...

10. Fair work hours?

    Mnstn replied to Mnstn's topic in Research

    Thanks for the responses. I guess I'm still confused by the grant and payment systems because I'm new to everything research still. I know that I'm not tied to a specific grant to my knowledge so I can't lose my job if it runs out. If I am I've neve...

11. Fair work hours?

    Mnstn posted a topic in Research

    I've worked as a research nurse coordinator for around a month. When I interviewed I was under the impression it was a typical M-F job with the mention of an occasional Saturday if the volunteer couldn't make it during the week. What I was not made a...

12. I failed my school drug test. Am I finished forever?

    Mnstn replied to Breatholife's topic in General Students

    I can't help the OP unfortunately but I had to chime in and state that what drug tests are testing is not the psychoactive component of marijuana. Typical screening drug tests in no way measure impairment due to marijuana. Typical drug tests are test...

    Its a good program. I'm currently in their new grad residency program and I have met nurses in the fellowship program. The ones I have spoken to like the program a lot because it allows them to get 6 months experience, be considered experienced when ...

15. Can't find pediatric job, move to adults?

    Mnstn posted a topic in Job Hunt

    My dream is to work in a NICU. I quickly realized that wasn't going to work as most required a lot of experience. I moved onto looking at pediatric jobs, unfortunately a lot of those jobs require experience. There are two children's hospitals in my t...
