  1. Do you feel ill will from doctors?

    I recently started a FNP program, and the other night I got bored at work so I innocently googled the difference between FNP school and med school. What I found was vitriol from the doctor side regarding NPs, most of which was from a student doctor w...
  2. UTMB FNP Fall 2015?

    I'm currently working at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, and was told 2-3 days a semester you need to be on campus. Also if you do not live in the Houston/Galveston area then you have to find your own clinical placement. Otherwise they will assist you.
  3. UTMB FNP Fall 2015?

    I received my letter of acceptance in the mail in December.
  4. Stupid classmate tricks

    My friend and I always crack up on these; "Miss when you say rotate the injection sites do you mean to twist the needle round and round?" "I have a third nipple too! It lines up just like a dog." "Oh that's what those missing eldery signs mean? I tho...
  5. Are you your own worst critic?

    I just started a new job on a Med-Surg floor, I have worked previously in pysch and SNFs for about 2 1/2 years, 2 as LVN and rest as a RN. I keep feeling like I suck as a nurse, can't get IVs, sometimes push medications too fast, report isn't as deta...
  6. Depressed RN- maybe nursing isn't for me?

    "I'm not doubting your diagnosis. Only saying that it's just the starting place. Your doc may need to try different meds, singly or in combination, to find out what works best for you. It also sounds like you could use some counseling regarding all ...
  7. Deciding Between RN vs PA.

    Joey, have you explored the curriculums closely? Which seems more clinically oriented? I've been recently very discouraged with my BSN coursework, and cannot fathom moving on to an NP tract and writing more theory papers. The PA path seems more and m...
  8. Deciding Between RN vs PA.

    I have found that PAs have less of a chip on their shoulder, not to say they don't have one, but NPs always seem defensive about their role. As a LVN currently working on becoming a RN, I plan on getting my masters and becoming a PA after I get my BS...
  9. "size of the paycheck"

    I'm happy that when I was in school I didn't have to deal with "people" like roser13.
  10. "size of the paycheck"

    I'd kick her in the back of the knee and say, "Now there is two differences... my money, and you be on the ground crying like a baby!" No but really, as a LVN/LPN doing a transition to RN program the only RNs I take issue with are the ones shoving c...
  11. Could employers judge people by their names?

    The book "Freakonomics" contained a study that when two equally qualified candiates went into an interview, the guy name Bill overwhelmingly got the job over a guy name Anfrony.
  12. I'm allergic to.....(laundry list)!

    I'm currently dealing with one such soul allergic to Nsaids, and wants vicodin and dill... dillotit. Now wants Ultram despite stating she was allergic to tramadol.
  13. you're joking... right? Just in case a nigerian prince wants to send you millions if only you provide your bank account number, give it to me first, and then I'll forward it to along the way.
  14. Can we get rid of the sugar in nursing?

    I feel like I should come back and restate my case. There is a difference between empathy and sympathy, I can understand what you're going through, but I won't talk down to you. And as far as me being a "nurse bot", no dice. I have been known to be t...
  15. I'm sure I'll get burned for this, but today I attended a graduate panel for my former nursing program. The students got to ask us questions about pay scale, what we enjoy about nursing, and how to find jobs... etc. Well all my fellow nurses went on ...
