   Yeah, what's next? A long break? MCG's DNP? Anyway, congrats. Hope to be there myself in a few months.

2. Associates degree nurse salary vs. bachelor's ??

   Pmdc replied to Strawberrygirl2's topic in General Nursing

   Sorry for the brevity. ATL is ATLanta. Along similar lines of WI being WIsconsin. I do agree with the path you mention. Why not make money while pursuing the BSN?

3. Excelsior College and Georgia. How are the Precepted Clinicals Working?

   Pmdc replied to Pmdc's topic in Excelsior

   I read yours and others posts about your experiences. You ended up with initial licensure in another state, and then wasn't able to endorse, right? The system our State has created, be it for those seeking endorsement, or those pursuing initial lice...

4. Excelsior College and Georgia. How are the Precepted Clinicals Working?

   Pmdc posted a topic in Excelsior

   I know a couple of people in Georgia who are starting the precepted clinicals after completing the EC ASN. From what I hear, it's easier if you do it through the hospital where you are employed. Is that the consensus? What about those who work in a ...

6. Associates degree nurse salary vs. bachelor's ??

   Pmdc replied to Strawberrygirl2's topic in General Nursing

   Oh. Interesting. I'm in the ATL area and from what I've been seeing the trend here seems to be going in the opposite direction as that mentioned above. I've known a few new grads with ASN degrees who were passed over due to certain facilities hiring ...

8. What is your experience with ADN program through Excelsior College

   Pmdc replied to Mandy79's topic in Online Learning

   My experience with EC was great. If you decide to go with study guides from TCN, Rue, etc., then just buy them used. Some of the publishing companies have shady reputations, and sometimes the line between them and EC gets a little blurred for those w...

9. Men in Nursing

   Pmdc replied to eas78's topic in General Students

   I've spent my career around areas like the ER, ICU, and flight. Men seem to be pretty well represented in those areas, as well as in anesthesia. I do notice that when I visit one of our med-surg areas that they sometimes have the token dude, or maybe...

10. Associates degree nurse salary vs. bachelor's ??

    Pmdc replied to Strawberrygirl2's topic in General Nursing

    "Is it common that Associates degree RNs make the same as Bachelor's degree RNs in a hospital staff nurse position?" There usually isn't a huge difference in pay, at least in my experience. I think it's about 25 cents an hour at my facility. The diff...

11. MD as Preceptor?

    Pmdc replied to wrigh146's topic in NP

    I start my rotations in the next couple of weeks, and my first preceptor is an MD. The school allows us to use MD, DO, NP, and PA. I had hoped to work with a diverse group, and learn as much as possible from them. I'm not sure why PAs would be exclu...

13. Spinal protocols

    Pmdc replied to mwboswell's topic in Emergency

    We are not presently clearing C-spines by physical exam at my facility, but I think the time has come for properly trained RNs/Paramedics to perform this skill. Just from some of the research I've read regarding the complications of unnecessary immob...

14. Honesty answers needed.....Will going to an HBCU affect hiring opportunities

    Pmdc replied to runnerVA's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't even know what an HBCU was until now. Seriously, I really don't think anyone would even consider that when making hiring decisions. If they did, then I wouldn't want to work there anyway. I would be more concerned about the school of nursin...

15. NP age??

    Pmdc replied to kayakin08's topic in NP

    I'm in the fire dept also. I've worked as an emergency nurse for several years and starting NP school in August. I'm 42. I still have twelve more years in the FD, so I guess I'll do both, as I don't plan on giving up the FD retirement. I plan to work...
