   NightAngelle replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   Condolences to the staff, friends, and family of Brian Short. I've been a member here for a very long time. It was this site that helped me to decide which career path to take, where to complete said career path, kid with colleagues, and I also ref...

2. The hospitalist dilemma

   NightAngelle replied to sauce's topic in Advanced

   As an RN, I've worked ER for 6 years and critical care for 9. As a newly graduated FNP, I have accepted a job as a hospitalist/intensivist. I DO plan on returning for post-master's certs in acute care, but there is duality in my intention for doing...

3. Recently failed ANCC n AANP

   NightAngelle replied to Marie81's topic in NP Students

   If you have a solid knowledge base, you will be able to pick out what questions are wrong. There are a few formatting errors throughout the text as well, but again...if you are reading and cross-referencing well, Leik is actually the BEST (IMO) study...

5. What supplies needed for FNP school :)

   NightAngelle replied to BeeGeeRN's topic in NP Students

   A Keurig!! OMG....it's been the absolute best thing I could have ever bought. Liquid motivation (in the form of black tea or coffee) has been great for those all-night paper writing/study sessions. :)

6. Anyone working night shift and going to school

   NightAngelle replied to teelatice15's topic in NP Students

   I work night shift in CCU. Before I began NP school (I go full time), I dropped to per diem, but I average 24 hours a week. I'm on my husband's insurance, so that helps. I also have two boys (11 and 16) who demand a great deal of my time as well. ...

9. Planning to get RN, should I get my BSN?

   NightAngelle replied to TiffCNA's topic in General Nursing

   Check out the BSN in 10 initiative. http://www.americannursetoday.com/article.aspx?id=5272&fid=5244 Here is my first tip as an ex-ADN, now BSN. Don't do anything just because anyone else has done it before. Always do things that are backed by ...

12. Question: RNs currently in US Congress

    We added four nurses? Way to go NURSES! I think I will start small. Just become a VOTING member of my state association.

13. Question: RNs currently in US Congress

    NightAngelle posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've googled this question until my eyes are googly. Does anyone know if any Registered Nurses currently serve in US Congress?

14. Hospital paying for NTI? Really?

    NightAngelle replied to NightAngelle's topic in Critical

    And that makes perfect sense....mileage may vary according to hospital. I can respect giving nurses the time off even if the nurses have to absorb their own cost. Here, we may get time off to go, or we very well may not. I can also respect the nur...
