4. Feeling Very Discouraged

   loveflowers replied to loveflowers's topic in General Students

   I don't mean the clinical nurse. I meant my clinical preceptor. When I spoke about what was going on to the higher ups in my school, like the director of the nursing program, etc, that is where I felt attacked, misunderstood and that everything I was...

    I am in a well known nursing school in NYC and one of the teachers mentioned that the NNP programs are all phasing out right now. Is that accurate? Also, can a PNP work in the NICU or in well baby's nurseries?

    All depends on how deep the bond and friendship runs. If your friendship solely depends on having an externally good time together, that is different than if your friendship runs deeper than that, or deeper than your diverging career choices. Some of...
