1. Discouraged from becoming and NP because I hate critical care

   koster22 replied to koster22's topic in NP Students

   Thank you for your input, everyone! While I get that not liking critical care doesn't disqualify me from becoming and NP, I have been discouraged from seeking an advanced nursing degree, even if it's not in acute care. A lot of the nurses I worked wi...

2. Discouraged from becoming and NP because I hate critical care

   koster22 posted a topic in NP Students

   I have been a BSN RN for about a year and a half. I took a job in pediatric CVICU right out of school. After staying for almost a year, I left because I was completely miserable. I am very detail oriented, and though adult ICU intimidated me in schoo...

   Do all of you mean to tell me you have never taken a pain pill that was in your family's medicine cabinet if you were in severe pain? I would never ever advise doing this on the regular, but come on.

   I think they can have a little gray or silver in them as long as they are mostly white. The Reebok Easytones I got have a little bit of gray. You're so right , though-- even though it's barely noticeable it does make a huge difference in the cuteness...

   @Ravenshelly: I believe they told us at the pre-orientation that we can wear whatever we like on lecture only days. We are to wear scrubs anytime we have a lab or clinicals and professional dress will just be for days we are specially told about for ...

    Thanks, guys! I really appreciate everyone's help. Just to be sure, I'm not the only one who has "TBA" out beside both of my lab classes for the semester, right? I have one assigned time for each of them, and then TBA to indicate another meeting time...

    Nevermind, I figured out the permits and registered. Anyone else with their clinicals on Thursday? The only thing I'm wondering about is where it says TBA on our schedules. I'm sure they went over this in the preorientation but I can't remember what ...
