1. FNP Program Fall 2020- College Mount Saint Vincent(CMSV)

   herowneulogy replied to abari2's topic in NP Students

   Beware: this school pretty much accepts anyone. From what I've heard (and observed), I am surprised they've been able to maintain their accreditation. The graduate students are not adequately prepared for the roles/responsibilities of an FNP. If you'...

2. PLEASE HELP: Psychotic Nurse Recruiter!!

   herowneulogy replied to herowneulogy's topic in General Nursing

5. PLEASE HELP: Psychotic Nurse Recruiter!!

   herowneulogy replied to herowneulogy's topic in General Nursing

   Getting the job is only fair, right?! And the best revenge..... But I really do want this to work, because as much as I love ER, I need something else under my belt, and it has to be challenging, because easy is boring. Plus, writing doesn't pay the ...

    I went from Allscripts HMED 7.1, to Wellsoft (huh?), to Allscripts EDIS (HUH?). Three different facilities, the latter is my current place. The nurses here used to use HMED and then "upgraded (sorry, but I consider it a downgrade)" to EDIS, which is ...

12. Can anyone suggest a good EKG interp book?

    herowneulogy replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in Emergency

13. Do you need a BSN to work in NYC?

    herowneulogy replied to llamadan's topic in New York

14. Applying for day shift during probation period

    herowneulogy replied to herowneulogy's topic in New York

15. Applying for day shift during probation period

    herowneulogy replied to herowneulogy's topic in New York

    The job is on the same unit. It just doesn't make sense to me why I'm not being considered for a vacancy that no one has applied for or has shown interest in....
