    Is it normal to hate my job this much?

    I'm a maniac. It has helped me tremendously as a NP though.

    Is it normal to hate my job this much?

    The short answer is yes. Bedside is rough. Especially, the first year. It gets a little better as time goes on but not by much, in my experience. I stuck it out for 9 miserable years because I wanted to be a good NP. If I didn't want to be a NP,...

    Is being an FNP worth it?

    Totally true. My experience also. I do feel more respected as an NP than I did as a bedside nurse. That's not saying much though.

    BEDSIDE...run, don't walk!

    I did 8.5 years in Med/Surg and it was horrible. I learned a lot and knew I wanted to be a NP so I kept at it despite the tachycardia from anxiety, sleepless nights before shifts, sleepless nights after shifts, no lunch breaks, physical demands, shor...

    Is being an FNP worth it?

    I'm a new FNP. I did not feel ready when I secured my first NP job (family practice) and I still don't (10 months in). I just do the best I can to look everything up and learn as I go. I work with a rather challenging population who cannot get into ...

    Complaints of Complaining

    This happened at my hospital when we were applying for magnet. They sent the more vocal peeps to mandatory counseling to help improve their "attitudes". I really wasn't a vocal one but I got sent. The complaint that got me was explaining to my charge...

    Nursing School and Career with Back Problems

    Facilities that are "with the times" should be using lift equipment and other technology to prevent employee injury (beds that help turn patients, air sliding devices). Nobody should be manually lifting people. Preexisting back issues or not. I do N...

    NP

    I'm a newish NP. Started my first job in October 2019. I work in family practice. Better pay and better quality of life than hospital RN (did that for 9 years). No regrets here.

    Am I a coward for going on FMLA due to COVID?

    YOU ARE NOT A COWARD. Drop the guilt. I'd do the same thing. You are high risk.

    Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

    That's exactly what happened! I know, it killed me. The doctor I work for is literally the sweetest individual I have ever met. She just let it ride.

    Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

    I'm a new FNP and worked 9 years in med/surg as a nurse before becoming a NP. My bedside experience is proving to be so helpful as I transition into the FNP role. There is a NP student at the office in which I work. She has 1 year of nursing experien...

    Sorry nursing

    Did 9 years (at the bedside). Left me with physical illnesses and emotional problems (burnout, anxiety). It's a sad state of affairs.

    5 8s, no thanks!

    They offered me benefits but I'm on my husband's plan. This is a private practice. I knew these doctors from working at the hospital for 8.5 years. That helped me a lot. They basically created this job for me. Put in the hard work, make the connec...
  15. Just wanted to say: I am very happy I went for it. I just started my first NP job a few weeks ago and I can confidently say: it was 100% worth all the blood, sweat, and tears. I did land a sweet gig with two of the most wonderful doctors so that hel...
