   That would be so much worse lol, but I do know as someone with an anxiety disorder I would have been very bothered too :)

2. Nurses: You've Been LIED to about your Back and Body Mechanics

   Chesterton1 replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in General Nursing

   It's an interesting article, and definitely something to keep in mind. However I cannot help but feel a little irked by all the appeal to authority that is being used (a logical fallacy). That isn't to say they aren't correct, however there are pro...

   Chesterton1 replied to eternalbride's topic in General Nursing

   Course, if you have an anxiety disorder and are a wee bit if a germaphobe then something like drinking someone else's water can cause a bit of mental anguish despite your knowledge of the situation.

4. FNP vs Women's Health NP-- looking for program info

   Chesterton1 replied to GrnMtn21's topic in NP Students

   I actually live about ten minutes away from Castleton State College and am taking my prerequisites at the Community College of Vermont, however I have plans to get my ASN from Vermont Technical College because I plan to do some debt reduction between...

5. FNP vs Women's Health NP-- looking for program info

   Chesterton1 replied to GrnMtn21's topic in NP Students

   Man, I wish I was a NP right now lol. I'm actually just starting my journey into the nursing career and am working on becoming a LNA and start my prerequisites in the summer. I have to agree with you tho that it is discouraging that our state does...

6. FNP vs Women's Health NP-- looking for program info

   Well the University of Vermont which is our states medical college is actually a very well respected university that I think she should pursue. University of Vermont College of Medicine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

7. FNP vs Women's Health NP-- looking for program info

   Chesterton1 replied to GrnMtn21's topic in NP Students

   Sweet! a fellow Vermonter! I don't know where in Vermont you are situated but perhaps the job outlook might be better in New York or New Hampshire? Also, I don't think if you become a FNP you will be required to work with Children. I mean FNP's are...

8. Can You Lose Your CNA License for Job Abandonment?

   Same thing with Vermont.

9. To scrub or not to scrub...?

   Chesterton1 replied to NursePatty77's topic in General Nursing

   I would wear business attire to a job interview, and if there really is an opportunity to job shadow on the same day of the interview you could possibly bring a pair of scrubs to change into if the opportunity arises.

10. Can You Lose Your CNA License for Job Abandonment?

    Chesterton1 replied to Pj1975's topic in CNA/MA

    Well in my state we are licensed and have to renew our license every two years. However it is my understanding that if you accepted a patient then it would be patient abandonment.

11. Are Entry Level FNP Programs worth it?

    Chesterton1 replied to octopus510's topic in General Nursing

    *scratches head* I always thought the NP route was phasing out MSN, but I honestly don't know...if I'm right (trying to think back to what I read) I would just go straight for NP.

12. Should I get my EMT-B cert.?

    Chesterton1 replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what the other options are but you could always look into starting off as an EMR, the course would be far less rigorous and it would get you inn the right direction :) I don't plan to be a flight nurse, I actually whant to eventually be ...

13. THE question -- NP or PA

    Chesterton1 replied to reflective11's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are right, what they specialize in ends up being determined by the residency they choose.

14. THE question -- NP or PA

    Chesterton1 replied to reflective11's topic in General Nursing

    It is very true that PA's are truly generalists, however I thought they could also specialize? the most popular being Surgical I thought.

15. THE question -- NP or PA

    Chesterton1 replied to reflective11's topic in General Nursing

    Also don't forget that PA school takes about 2 years and most schools either highly discourage working while enrolled or outright forbid it. So there is the reality that you might have to find a way to do two years of very demanding school work whil...
