Welcome to the dumpster fire that is Healthcare in the US. Many in your shoes may think the way out is to get your MSN and flee the floor. Unfortunately, schools are pumping out MSNs in every specialty except anesthesia faster then you can say "pay...
Thanks! This is what I"m looking for... looking to maintain my RN license for informatics but my current state requires hands on hours, which I don't get working remotely in informatics. Will look into these.
I'm wondering if there are states that don't require residency to get licensed in that state; I've looked at a few but the info is vague beyond visiting all 50 state's Board of Nursing / Depts of health!

Amazing. Perhaps we spew so much therapeutic communication to our patients, we save none for our peers? I see nothing wrong with venting. You get heard, and while it likely means nothing, its gets gears turning. Some of the issues the OP poses are ...

And because of this (OP), droves or nurses are going for their NP thinking it's the way out, not realizing they're creating an NP excess. NP jobs are becoming like new grad RN jobs, hard to find, paltry pay etc.
If you REALLY have nursing as a passion, do it. You may make less, you may work more. It doesn't matter if it's your passion, because you won't be 'working'. Now. For reality. If it is not 100% what you will absolutely love, even if it means less...
This is true. However, I am extrapolating from previous experiences as a CNA in a local hospital. Being a male CNA, 99% of what I did was sit with violent, aggressive, combative and abusive 1 to 1 clients... alcohol withdrawals, drug withdrawals, d...
Awesome! By the way, you can call... assuming you have Federal Loans, (and possibly with private loans), and get extended forebearance/deferments for up to a year or more! I only know that as my wife (a nurse), had to do that as well! I agree on yo...
That is heartening. However, I see so many nurses taking jobs that they will simply hate, just to get their year in. Having worked at a job I despised, I must say, that is something I cannot do... I can't see doing a job I would despise for the ul...
It is a standard admitted to by the ANA. My associate studies end in a year. Since we're getting off track and trying to quantify this conversation to my education, my Bachelor studies finished 2 years ago, in microbiology, my 1st associates in biolo...
Lol. Now this is getting silly. Let's just be frank and admidt that there are $hit NP programs out there. Furthermore, one CAN go straight from BSN to MSN-FNP. Schools are slowly changing it, but it's a fact. An NP SHOULD out-preform a PA as an EN...
I studied Kaplan for the NET (Nurse Entrance Test). I found 40 errors, typos, things that were plain wrong. While it had minimally good information, the fact that I paid for it, and it seemed not to be edited was beyond amazing. I've started the Ka...
I'm using, Saunder's Comprehensive 5th ed, Just ordered PREPU NCLEN-10,000 and LaCharity's delegation 2nd ed. I graduate in December (10th). Our school has a Kaplan course... some student swear by it. I personally HATE kRaplan. Their texts are rid...
