   lostNneuro replied to Oakley44's topic in NP Students

   hey purple butterfly! I did complete my MSN with WGU, I learned a lot and I loved it for the most part. I did NOT continue for my FNP cert. I decided before I started WGU, I wasn't going to pursue it. My only concern with WGU is how your credits may ...

2. VA Hiring Process

   lostNneuro replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government

   I hate when employers act like that. Knowing they could fire you or downsize or do whatever else they wanted without a moment’s notice but yet expect “loyalty” at all costs from its employees. I don’t get it. You would think they would be apprecia...

3. VA Hiring Process

   lostNneuro replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government

   So I took the advice (thank you pfchang and mdrn1974!) and emailed the recruiter and HR regarding my deal breaking dilemma. She responded this morning saying they completely understood and it was not a problem to provide references from past co-worke...

4. VA Hiring Process

   lostNneuro replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government

   Thanks pfchang - I will reach out to the recruiter on Monday. Hopefully an exception can be made because honestly that is a deal breaker for me and I'd hate that - I've come so far already!

5. VA Hiring Process

   lostNneuro replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government

   I received a tentative offer from the VA today. I was so excited but stopped in my tracks when I realized they are requesting a recommendation from my CURRENT supervisor. There is no way I can provide that at this point. I would be fired. The VA h...

   Recent interview experience - the interviewee stated she had other interviews lined up but after my interview was not going to pursue them. She said she was going to be out of the office for the remainder of the week for a funeral but I would hear s...

7. ONLINE NP students....

   lostNneuro replied to TheDude77's topic in NP Students

   What do your friends think of the program so far? I have been looking at EKU but a little nervous about it being completely on-line. I'm back & forth about this approach for me. I think I may feel more confident in classroom environment for th...

8. Cheapest NP Program ... period

   lostNneuro replied to Oakley44's topic in NP Students

   I was never able to find a collection of that information anywhere either. Now, if you wanted to avoid the GRE that's a different story! lol .... I contacted the three schools I am interested in for my post MSN NP cert - two of the three said they on...

   lostNneuro replied to Oakley44's topic in NP Students

   I'm going to WGU right now for an MSN - leadership/management. If all goes well over the next few months, it will have taken me 9-10 months to complete the entire program. Total cost - a whomping $6,790.00 .. I did some research prior to starting the...

10. Advice needed: handling employee complaints

    lostNneuro replied to lostNneuro's topic in Management

    Update on how this situation unfolded .... The complainer never come to me. I overheard them talking it out between themselves. I try not to micro-manage too much. My nurses in general work hard and are professionals. I try to treat them as such....

    lostNneuro posted a topic in Management

    I can see what's coming... I want to have my ducks in a row before the conversation emerges so I thought I would reach out to you more seasoned managers for some pointers. An employee is going to complain about another co-worker being too busy. Here...

12. RN wondering is it worth getting BSN

    lostNneuro replied to DisasterRCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like you have enough opinions, but I’ll share mine anyway :) Yes, I think it’s worth it. It is becoming a very competitive market in nursing, even when your not necessary looking to leave your current job. Things change quickly in corporatio...

13. Learning to navigate the insurance companies

    lostNneuro replied to JeanettePNP's topic in NP

    Billing can be very complicated with continuous updates & changes. I recently took a billing seminar for my particular area. It was very helpful. It included many different professionals and numerous MD/NP's in attendance. I think as a provid...

14. patient care, administration & marketing Oh My!

    lostNneuro replied to lostNneuro's topic in Management

    Wow, great idea. I've never even thought about that! I'm guessing I would need to contact the local university's to see what their requirements are for us to be assigned an intern. I don't want to sound winey & no boss wants to hear "I can't", i...

    lostNneuro posted a topic in Management

    I'm looking for a tactful, effective way to tell my boss there isn't enough time in one the day to give the attention required to these 3 tasks. I spend every moment at work, well working :) on a clinic that has been neglected for years. After the c...
