   OnwardEver replied to PeanutButtersRN's topic in NP Students

   I just found out I wasn't oferred admission to the program I applied to at UNC. It's a huge relief finding out and being able to move on and focus on my choice among the more highly ranked programs I was accepted to. Because of the time element I m...

3. UNC grad school 2016 decision

   OnwardEver replied to PeanutButtersRN's topic in NP Students

   That's crazy, redshirt09. Apparently you never came off the wait list last year? I appreciate how heavy the applicant pool is and the efforts of the admissions team devoted to making the decisions and hope we find out sooner in April than later. G...

4. UNC grad school 2016 decision

   OnwardEver replied to PeanutButtersRN's topic in NP Students

   I'm waiting to hear too. Problem is I've already received admission offers from two other top schools and they want deposits within 15-30 days. UNC is closest to where I am living now and as an in-state student would be the best choice financially ...

5. Affordable Psych NP Programs in & near North Carolina

   OnwardEver replied to OnwardEver's topic in School Programs

   Thank you both for the advice. From my rotations in nursing school and experiences across the various specialties I have worked in I feel the PMHNP would be a great direction to go in for me. Nursing colleagues have told me I have a way with and seem...

   I find myself more and more interested in pursuing an advanced practice Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner post-master's certificate or DNP degree. I'm a North Carolina resident with 8 years of nursing experience ranging from med-surg to h...

7. Why don't you just read the chart?

   OnwardEver replied to Guest219794's topic in Relations

   My favorite part of receiving report from the ED is when the nurse that is giving me report has never even assessed the patient. So I ask of the ED nurse sending me a patient that was given Lasix 80 mg IV when was the last time the patient voided or...

8. I'm a sexless nurse

   OnwardEver replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with mvm2 and others in that just because we are a males in the nursing profession it doesn't exempt us from performing medically necessary procedures on patients of the opposite sex. There will be shifts when all the nursing staff, from the...

9. Hospital Beep Syndrome

   OnwardEver replied to hypatiafaerie's topic in General Nursing

   I have gotten a similar PTSD-like aftershock of alarms and beeps just like you, OP. I agree with others in that it often happened after a particularly stressful shift especially if staffing was short and census was high. This happened quite a bit o...

    Berkshire1995 (tried to PM this but got a message that your PM inbox was full) and any others who might have an opinion or thoughts/feedback to add, I'm interested in obtaining my FNP as a post-master's. I am about to graduate with a master's in comm...

11. What is the point of becoming a nurse?!

    OnwardEver replied to newRN121's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Igunbor, you started out asking why become a nurse if you won't find a job once you graduate and then you shifted to "the problem of oversaturation of nurses in the nursing field" when you received a response that stated it depends on where you are l...

    bump: Any other thoughts or advice from anyone regarding this topic? Will also search the forums for more. Thanks.

13. NC and MD Grad Program Rankings vs. Real World Reputation

    OnwardEver replied to OnwardEver's topic in Advanced

    Thanks, rgbrn. I'm not clear about the isolated negatives I've read about UNC-CH. It sounds like Duke, Vandy, and ETSU all have strong programs in the area but I'd like to be further east closer to Duke and UNC-CH and, on gorgeous days off, the sho...

14. NC and MD Grad Program Rankings vs. Real World Reputation

    OnwardEver replied to OnwardEver's topic in Advanced

    Bump: does anyone have any advice on east coast FNP programs? I'm sure this is the way I want to go but still on the fence regarding UNC-CH. Would appreciate advice and welcome any feedback if I'm going about my request the wrong way. Thanks.

15. Forced to another shift when I have seniority

    OnwardEver replied to northern_RN's topic in Relations

    I agree, stand up for the residents and do what is right but also look out for yourself--whether you walk or not. Walking doesn't mean you can't contact the state like the poster above says and let them know what's going on at this place. I'm very ...
