1. I Hope No One Hires You

   HornsRN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric

   Ever work in CA as a nurse? The law enforced patient to nurse ratios, now that's one thing the state got right (there aren't many)! Because of the strict laws they maintain a larger float pool and staffing to accomodate for sick calls/no shows/etc....

2. I Hope No One Hires You

   HornsRN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric

   No problem, I am glad that I did not offend, it certainly is not my desire to do so. You are right about your online forum observation (not just nursing ones, check out SDN lol). I recently heard it put this way, people in public tend to default to...

3. I Hope No One Hires You

   HornsRN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric

   Is it wrong? No. Perhaps I should reword it. IF you are person, merely seeking a "stable job" and you think that nursing is the "stable job" for you then you MIGHT be very surprised on that it is a very difficult job that is often very demanding, p...

   HornsRN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric

   To those wondering why the revolving door with some nurses - Yahoo, Fox news, CNN, et all constantly have top 273 jobs that are stable and easy to get (or whatever adjective they prefer) and Nursing is ALWAYS in those lists. The truth is, there is ...

9. Off the wall question about NPs

   HornsRN replied to HornsRN's topic in Advanced

   Thanks, too be fair, I am a prospective NP student, in that I am applying to programs. However, my mind and what interests me is much further down the road, hence my reasons for starting this thread. I think you are right about joining state associ...

10. Off the wall question about NPs

    HornsRN replied to HornsRN's topic in Advanced

    Yeh I agree with ya for the most part (although I wouldn't use the word drivel, just not interested in it heh). The lack of interest in challenging discussion disappoints me. And SDN? Ugh, no thx. That site is so full of arrogance and a-holes I'd r...

11. Off the wall question about NPs

    HornsRN replied to HornsRN's topic in Advanced

    I believe that AN does support it. I just think that the large number of new grads and hopefuls are of a different mindset from me, and some others apparently. It is a weird part of nursing that I have noticed. For example, I got a ANA newsletter...

    HornsRN replied to mag2014's topic in Advanced

    Since you are not quoting people in your responses I have no idea who you feel is "chastising" you. What I will say is I hope you are able to get your degree conferred and your license granted. I also hope you learn from this experience as it is a ...

    HornsRN replied to mag2014's topic in Advanced

    how is this possible? did the school lose accreditation during your attendance or did they not have it before you started? Surely you didnt attend a program that wasn't accredited?

15. Wanting to start the DNP path

    HornsRN replied to HornsRN's topic in Doctoral

    They don't. I am also considering MSN programs now just to open my options. Honesty I just wish I could be in South Bama's Emergency program. The dual FNP/ANP cert is really appealing to me as I am unsure of where I'd like to settle career wise. ...
