1. Are nurses commissioners of oaths?

   Borntobenurse? replied to das729's topic in General Nursing

   We are not notary's. That is not part of the license. We cannot make your letter official by stamping/signing it.

2. Nursing to Medical School

   Borntobenurse? replied to doctor2bM97's topic in General Nursing

   You are posting on the wrong site, but as someone who has some experience with the situation you want to put yourself in: You definitely can do medicine after nursing, but its much harder. Having all the medical prereqs will help, but if you want to ...

3. Nursing school has made me not like nursing

   Borntobenurse? replied to kilcawleymarco's topic in General Nursing

   Nursing School harder than nursing? Yeah I don't think so.

4. Nursing school has made me not like nursing

   Borntobenurse? replied to kilcawleymarco's topic in General Nursing

   Floor nursing is very different from school. You might possibly like it better. People usually like it worse because nursing school is sunshine and rainbows. But with your military background, the floor might actually suit you more than you think. Th...

5. Just accepted job, now may be pregnant

   Borntobenurse? replied to RNtoBe14's topic in General Nursing

   Congrats if true. You tell them nothing till you are certain you are pregnant and you get past the 1st trimester at least (unless you work around radiation). There is some chance you could have a miscarriage still, so its not wrong at all to withhold...

   Much better said than I did. +1

7. Too Many Nurse Practitioners?

   I believe your PS is not true anymore, but I am so glad that people are shutting down on the online school shill's commenting in this thread. Thank you, thinking nurses!

8. Too Many Nurse Practitioners?

   Borntobenurse? replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   Hmm, drinking the coolaid are we? Doctors and PAs educate too. And on working alone in a rural setting fresh out of NP school, just because something is easy to do, doesn't mean it should be done (i.e. online only NP programs for one).

9. Too Many Nurse Practitioners?

   Borntobenurse? replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   The spaghetti monster is real. Prove he doesn't exist. What, its difficult to prove a negative? Seems like that should be in a bio-statistics class or something. Even so there are some studies out there but they are limited in scope, poorly designed...

10. Too Many Nurse Practitioners?

    Borntobenurse? replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I would like this more than once if I could. With maybe the exception of the last paragraph I think you are dead on (I don't know if crazy nursing can ever fully adopt the medical model, and quite frankly the science background required for USMLE wou...

11. 100k in loans worth it?

    Borntobenurse? replied to ravindram's topic in General Nursing

    Get on a waitlist for an ASN at a community college, then get your hospital to pay for the BSN. 100k is too much for nursing degree in most states. BTW, good chance nursing will be much harder than you anticipate. I would read a couple of the 'I hate...

12. New grad as a unit manager

    Borntobenurse? replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in Geriatric

    Inspirons quote, which was what the poster was responding to, which you then responded to her. I will ask you, did YOU read the thread?

13. Too Many Nurse Practitioners?

    Borntobenurse? replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe that information is published (exception being Advanced Pro Nursing Institute, I mean golly how did an advanced pro fail?). Only the ones that they did approve. I would make sure my school was on that list. Nursing Programs Here's the...

14. doctor reviews and ratings

    Borntobenurse? replied to socoamaretto's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that most doctors have very little idea how competent thier peers are, unless they work in OR etc. Its funny that a very good PCP will sometimes refer to a not so good specialist. Also double agree on the only reviews being worthwhile are wri...

15. New grad NP job offer- questions

    Borntobenurse? replied to AMagoo923's topic in NP

    After reading Darths post, I changed my mind. He has a very reasonable approach and the slow build up might be good. I was worried about the physician having no clue about NPs and just seeing you as a profit extender, but with a new practice you will...
