  1. Should I switch programs?

    So I'm in a program currently for FNP. The program that I am in is spaced out so it will take me another 3 years to graduate... Which I don't mind because I'm in no hurry right now. So with the program I'm currently in, I've only completed one course...
  2. Working Out and Working?

    Since I only work 3-4 nights a week, I workout on my days off. I have over an hour commute to work so I don't want to lose any of my sleep time. Which adequate sleep is also important for your health. I workout on my days off and then I only pack a...
  3. Excited & Nervous NP student

  9. Bowel protocol

    Ours is similar to above but we also have bowel programs for our spinal cord patients who get a bowel program in the morning or afternoon based on what's convenient to them. The program is then based on their injury and how it relates to sphincter co...
  10. Questions for an acute care nurse.

    Are you glad that you got that all out? I don't think that has anything to do with being an "LTC" nurse... I feel those are basic report questions. Besides asking about the admitting diagnosis two days later... But anyways why are you so upset that a...
  11. I want to move out of rehab

    This. You need to sell the experience you do have from rehab. I hardly doubt you haven't learned anything. I was in the same position as you (almost 2yrs in rehab) and I liked rehab but just recently received a job in an ICU. One of the things interv...
  12. How much above your base pay do you generally make?

    Hi all, I will be starting a new job within the next two months after almost two years of subacute experience. The floor is part tele, stepdown, and ICU. I was told I would be starting in the stepdown and move my way into the ICU as I become comfort...
