  1. Anyone get their Booster yet?

    Got it a week ago (Pfizer #3). No previous Covid infection. The reaction was pretty much like shot #2. Fever, aches, headache x 24 hrs and then I was fine.
  2. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    Do we want nursing to be less female-centric? It doesn’t feel like it. Few men teaching in nursing schools. Despite the experience of nurses above, there is a certain amount of discrimination in OB sections in school, interestingly, as someone poin...
  3. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    It’s interesting that you pose the question this way in the same month the Washington Post provides this headline: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/health/the-big-number-women-now-outnumber-men-in-medical-schools/2019/12/20/8b9edde...
  4. Career Path to Flight Nursing

    I give this recommendation to most of the people who ask... I work for a hospital based program that uses Air Methods as our vendor (they provide helicopter, pilot, and mechanic) our Hospital provides the medical crew. Look around your area...
  5. Which field of nursing is the most technically hard?

    Darn skippy! Keeping up with flight certifications, especially if you work strattling state lines, can feel like a full time job in itself.
  6. Which field of nursing is the most technically hard?

    Darn skippy!
  7. Even if the ads say ED or ICU, unless the service you are looking at has mostly scene work, go ICU. After 20 years as a paramedic and 8 years as an ED nurse, it was a steep learning curve to proficiency in a mostly inter facility (as most are) servic...
  8. Older nurses

    Love it! I didn't start nursing school till I was over 40 (darn near dead according to the OP) at 50 and change I work the ED and now flight nursing. I worked (and work) more than the younger Nurses and, in most cases, run circles around them. Maybe ...
  9. Making 100k salary/ income as a nurse?

    Yup, I didn't, knowingly, take a vow of poverty. This is a business proposition. I provide you with a service and you pay me a acceptable wage. If either of us fail that contract, we are free to move on, no excommunication needed.

  11. Making 100k salary/ income as a nurse?

    If you are looking for $100k anywhere but CA you want to give some thought to APRN. CRNAs starts way above this level and NPs are close w/o OT. Other than that, go to a metro area union hospital. Cost of living will be higher though. I have made >...
  12. RN to BSN without statistics/chemistry

    Excelsior College doesn't have a chemistry requirement but does have a prerequisite or co-requirement for statistics during the research class. Hope that's helpful!
  13. License by endorsement HELP

    OMG! Despite the unfortunate actions of a single nurse, this system is draconian! If NJ, et al would participate in the compact this system would be far more streamlined. They were just fine taking my money...immediately deposited! To tell me that th...
  14. License by endorsement HELP

    I can't say that I'm happy that everyone has the same problem with the New Jersey Board of nursing! They've had my information for about a month now, after calling yesterday, they said oh, your fingerprint cards are in the mail. They are very good at...
  15. Becoming a transport RN right out of school

    If you know where you'd like to practice and can work, even per diem, you may be able to transition from critical care paramedic to RN at the same company. I was a paramedic for 10 years before going to Nursing school and am a PHRN for the same comp...
