1. MHI vs MSN-NI (Informatics?)

   ParryPerson posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm going back to school online to earn my masters, but I'm unsure of which program would be best. I've noticed MSN with NI specilization is getting more and more rare to see, but Masters of Health Informatics degree programs abound. I work nigh...

2. Online Only Informatics Program

   ParryPerson posted a topic in Informatics

   I need to decide on an online only informatics masters program, and the sooner the better. The problem is that there are many, many online colleges, but I'm unsure of the best cost/performance ratio. My workplace is offering to pay 80% of tuition, bu...

3. New Grad, Non-Floor Nursing?

   ParryPerson posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have 6 months of BMT experience, and while I love my co-workers and my patients, the politics and staffing are dragging me down. I have severe anxiety problems (perfect career choice right?) and feel bedside nursing is not for me. Would it look bad...

7. New Grad Stressed, Nights Easier?

   ParryPerson posted a topic in ADN/BSN

   I'm a new grad on a ortho post-op floor doing my day shift orientation. I didn't know that this floor was the hardest in the hospital when I accepted the job, but that is it's reputation. Every day before waking up I feel sick to my stomach and my ne...

8. Online MSN without 1 year RN experience?

   ParryPerson replied to ParryPerson's topic in Online Learning

   Thank you for the reply! I'm still on orientation for a job I got offered while in school. I made the mistake of not being picky enough and ended up on a fairly rough floor, but that is what really made me realize I want to go for my NP. I can handle...

9. Online MSN without 1 year RN experience?

   ParryPerson posted a topic in Online Learning

   Does this exist? Is it even possible? I know it's probably not recommended, but I am curious as I am interested in getting my FNP as soon as possible. I went back to school late, and even though I've just earned my BSN, I'd love to be on the fast tra...
