  1. PASSED AANP Adult-Gero PC boards!

    Hi all! So this past Saturday I took my boards through AANP. I took the AGNP exam. It honestly wasn't too bad. I had three hours of allotted time once the test began, but I finished in just under two hours. I flagged/marked about 23 questions in tota...
  2. RN's are you happy with your career, why or why not?

    No. But mostly because I have worked too long as a floor nurse. The amount of customer service and the general chaotic environment has burnt me to a crisp and caused a depression. I would have not chosen nursing if I knew it would be like this. There...
  3. University of Michigan AGACNP

    I applied to the Adult Primary NP, but I got in! Received the email today!
  4. Keeping experienced staff!!!

    What are they doing? Nothing. Most experienced staff leave for greener pastures or retire. Management gives no cares to the happiness of nursing staff long-term.
  5. University of Michigan AGACNP

    No, no confirmation email, but I scheduled mine for the morning with the link they sent me. Good luck to you. I'm going for the adult primary NP.
  6. University of Michigan AGACNP

    I just received an invitation to interview. Hopefully I'll get in.
  7. Staff Nurses Who Refuse To Precept Or Teach?

    I hate precepting and I refuse to do it anymore after having done it on a continuous loop. In fact, I flat out told management that. I do not feel it is my job to educate new nurses, and quite frankly, I do not care. I am there to take care of my pa...
  8. Should I tell my manager I'm burned out?

    Yes, the pay is not enough to motivate me, it's one extra dollar for extra stress. It's not fair to me, or my orientee to have a preceptor whose head is not in the game at the moment. I am not a teacher by nature as it is, I'm also introverted, and I...
  9. I'm a nurse that works on a very busy and fast paced floor in a hospital. I'm a good employee, know my stuff and have been employed there for several years. This has caused management to give me more responsibility than some of my other co-workers su...
  10. Charge Nurse

    On my unit it's usually around 6-8 months, mostly out of necessity, and this is an occurrence on night shift. Day shift is full of experienced nurses so who's ever in charge will have a couple of years under their belt already. I work in a hospital o...
  11. Preceptor burnout

    Thank you for all of the feedback. I wanted to clarify that on my unit, only a small handful of us are "gifted" with tasks such as precepting and charge, and quite a few who have been there for years manage to skate by and not do their fair share eve...
  12. Preceptor burnout

    I'm definitely asking for a break after this current run. I'm not the only one on my floor that does it, but there are only a small handful of us, and my manager hires many people at once. as I said in my OP, I would appreciate it if some others that...
  13. Preceptor burnout

    *WARNING* NOT A PLEASANT POST AHEAD. I've searched, and most of the topics on this discussion are from new grads bemoaning their preceptors and not much about how hard it is to have to mentor new grads, sometimes for months at a time, almost seemingl...
  14. New Nurse Time Management

    The time management comes with experience. Are you going to nights after your orientation is over? The slow pace of nights might help to hone your time skills better. It's normal to be slower when you're new and learning. Cluster your care. Do your a...
  15. Why so many newbies on night shift?

    I just recently switched to day shift after having spent almost 3 years on night shift. As was customary, when I was hired in as a new nurse, I did my orientation on day shift, and then was transferred to nights. At the time of my hire, nights had a ...
