  1. Which MSN degree, CNE or CNS?

    Thanks for your insight. I am planning on being a Clinical Instructor for students at my Alma mater, do you believe that can serve as an entry level expertise? I would like to get my MSN and work on staff professional development at the workplace. ...
  2. Things have been going well at my job, and while I do enjoy critical care and caring for patients, I know that my long term plans will most likely not involve bedside direct patient care. I have always been happy to work with students and colleagues...
  3. Thanks for all the words of encouragement. It's always good to hear the successes
  4. The problem with multiple preceptors...

    Thanks to everyone for their help and insight. I have done alot of thinking over the past few days, and plan on waiting everything out for a little bit longer. I like working there, and if I just stay strong and deal, I would have no problem. I do...
  5. Is that I have to take a half step backwards each time. When my educator says I will be getting a new preceptor, I usually bite my lip, keep my breath hushed and low, and keep to myself. If you think about it, variety is good, because there's many w...
  6. New Nurse! Need Critical Care advice!

    I'm a new grad in critical care, and things that I usually read are the the policies and binders that we have on our floor (they are like cheat sheets for policies, drip rates, standards, protocols, etc). If you want to do some other outside of work...

  11. Dear New Grads

    Great story. I love hearing about people that 'keep their head up' and put in the time to just get it done. I'm really happy for you. Congrats to the max.
  12. Hobbies that keep your soul alive?

    I'm totally with ya, man. I spent my off time doing usually one of 4 things... lifting weights, writing, drinking whiskey, and going out with girls. Life is all about balance. Take care of your mind, body, and emotions, and you'll find school is m...

    Yup, that's Laverne. Looks like I'm not eating at that Mexican place again.

    Thanks for the comments everyone. I'm glad so many people can relate to my story, and it's nice to hear to each and every one of you.
  15. Thanks for a review of the current recommendations and policies. I was quizzed on the difference between using Zofran and Phenergan and besides the drowsiness, this is the most important difference.
