I have gotten a similar PTSD-like aftershock of alarms and beeps just like you, OP. I agree with others in that it often happened after a particularly stressful shift especially if staffing was...

BUMP: I'd like to know too... anyone with feedback about Stonybrook?

Berkshire1995 (tried to PM this but got a message that your PM inbox was full) and any others who might have an opinion or thoughts/feedback to add, I'm interested in obtaining my FNP as a...

Igunbor, you started out asking why become a nurse if you won't find a job once you graduate and then you shifted to "the problem of oversaturation of nurses in the nursing field" when you received a...

bump: Any other thoughts or advice from anyone regarding this topic? Will also search the forums for more. Thanks.

Thanks, rgbrn. I'm not clear about the isolated negatives I've read about UNC-CH. It sounds like Duke, Vandy, and ETSU all have strong programs in the area but I'd like to be further east closer to...

Bump: does anyone have any advice on east coast FNP programs? I'm sure this is the way I want to go but still on the fence regarding UNC-CH. Would appreciate advice and welcome any feedback if I'm...

I agree, stand up for the residents and do what is right but also look out for yourself--whether you walk or not. Walking doesn't mean you can't contact the state like the poster above says and let...

Why waste your time with employment attorneys when you know this is going to be a contentious work situation? As long as that DON is in, you will be the target of fury and disapproval no matter what...

Hi BostonSN, I think it's prudent to say in your cover letter that you will follow up in a certain amount of time, say 2 weeks. It is a very competitive job market and following up and showing...

Your perspective is appreciated, juan de la cruz. You're right, when evaluating the quality of FNP programs one definitely has to proportionately weigh the quality of partnering community-based...

Thanks for letting me know about your experience at UMich bearasara94. I'm trying to look at schools where the winter is milder than up here near Canada. While I've seen where UNC Chapel Hill and...

I'm considering graduate programs in North Carolina and Maryland areas to continue my nursing education as a post-master's FNP and possibly go on for a PhD to explore teaching and research. I'm...

I am trying to network to find a preceptor this semester (now through May). If anyone knows of any resources in the upstate NY area or has any leads on NPs/PAs/MDs in Family Health/Primary Care I'd...

Here's my sheet, adapted from others I liked here on the site: http://bit.ly/zfR4WN

Because the patient doesn't appear to have COPD I agree, I don't think it's so much about the risk of knocking out respiratory drive as it is about the day nurse wanting to know if you tried to...

AG-RN, I don't have any recommendations to give as far as online bachelors programs for nursing, but I should note I saw a Jacksonville degree on the wall of someone practicing at a high level in a...

I have the opportunity to buy Amelie Hollier's Adult and Family NP Certification Questions book at a reduced price. I've looked at the scant reviews on Amazon and saw Hollier's book looks at obscure...

It is understandable that you might be scared of going to the emergency department (ED) but your high blood pressure puts you at great risk. A Mayo Clinic page lists some of the dangers of...

What do you want to do with your nursing career and for how long? Do you want to go directly into a masters program without any nursing experience or do you want to complete everything in a...

Thanks for the advice guys! It sounds like the CEN isn't such a good idea just yet but getting some of the advanced life support training in, perhaps as an EMT might be helpful. I'm going to look...

I recently applied and was called back for two rounds of what I thought were successful interviews for a position in an ED at a hospital I respect and was very enthusiastic about working for. They...
