  1. PhD vs DNP

  2. Travel Nursing w/ Teenager considering homeschool

    So I would have to register him with each state & follow their guidelines every 13 weeks? I figured the home state would be home base for the schooling as well. I wonder if it's the same for online schooling.
  3. Hey everyone! I recently started thinking about travel nursing. I have a 13 year old boy who would probably love nothing more than to be home-schooled. I'd like to take him to the East Coast such as DC, Virginia. Also Hawaii and Alaska (where we ha...
  4. Animosity between L/D & Postpartum

    We do have a report sheet that has a lot of information. At the bottom of the moms side it has medical hx and that is where elevated BP's, GDM, etc goes. On the baby side we have 4 spaces for blood sugars to be entered so it should be a reminder to t...

    I am starting the MSN in Leadership with GCU July 27th. I graduated in May from the RN-BSN program at GCU and loved it. I had heard negative stories but decided to go with GCU because it was 100% online and worked with my schedule. Plus I get tuition...

    I'm thinking about these options as well. I start my RN-BSN program Monday and figure I have about a year before i need to make up my mind. I didnt know that to teach in a BSN program you had to have more than your MSN in education. I love these boa...
  11. Newly licensed RN cant find work

    I was lucky and was offered a job in my area of interest right out of nursing school (OB) but if that had not happened I would have done my time on a medsurg floor first in a hospital that has a NICU/OB unit and then transferred when the time came. Y...
