1. 10 Fastest Nurse Practitioner (NP) Programs | 2024

   greener22 commented on Melissa Mills's program in Canada

   People need to be aware that family nurse practitioners, which is usually the fastest and cheapest route cannot work in a hospital setting. They are limited and their scope of practice. I work with so many FNP's at the bedside who are doing staff nur...

2. Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

   greener22 replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

   I would not have cared at all if my L&D nurse was male. My OB was male. Doesn't make any difference to me. Not everyone would feel that way I suppose. If she has a female OB and no one other husband has "been there" it might be a situation

3. Going from 3 12s to M-F 5 8s

   greener22 replied to TryingtoThriveRN's topic in General Nursing

   I stopped working 12 hour shifts 25 years ago when my son was a baby. I could not stand not being with him all day. He would be in bed before I got home and then the only time I saw him was on the way to day care at 6am. I left to work M-F with wee...

4. My tech will not speak to me

   greener22 replied to Eliza22's topic in Georgia

   Why does she not speak to you? Is it just you or everyone? If it’s just you , you deserve an answer and she does not provide one, ask HR for a mediator to discuss it. If it is everyone, then just carry one and do her work too because she is useless ...

5. My First Code Blue! Still Trying To Process It

   greener22 replied to Dani_Mila's topic in General Nursing

   My first code was so long ago that we didn’t have any type of postcode analysis or really even paperwork. It was in the Summer of 1988 and I had one year of MedSurg experience in orthopedics. I work the 3 to 11 shift and I was making my rounds on a f...

6. Retaking NCLEX For Licensure In Another State

   greener22 replied to Rn198801's topic in Career Support

   Call the BON in the state you wish to live to and ask for reinstatement. Pay the fee and then complete any CEUs but they won’t ask for those up front. Not hard

7. Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

   greener22 replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

   Reading these comments I am floored by the comments I am a mother and I would not have minded at all if my nurse was a male. I had a male doctor who I had never met as my female doctor was not on call. Would the opinion be different if my female nurs...

8. Thoughts on Commuting

   greener22 replied to MalinkeMuso's topic in General Students

   I would choose the school with the better pass rate and if particularly if it’s nationally accredited. But I would figure out a way to move closer. I don’t think that commute is gonna work

9. Switched to LVN from the Business World and am UNDERWHELMED!

   greener22 replied to Guest1188630's topic in LPN/LVN

   Oh honey there are so many questions that you need to know the answers to. I wish it were as easy as a supply and demand. Schools are limited on the number of students they are allowed to admit every year. This is controlled by the state board of nur...

10. Remote positions with a baby?

    greener22 replied to Nrslna's topic in General Nursing

    The trouble I had when my kids were little was that day cares are not open after 630pm. I had to take 8 hour day jobs from 07-330 or 8-430. Lots of those jobs exist. I did have to get in the waitlist for the hospital day care but I took them to La Pe...

11. Please Read: Fired from first nursing job

    greener22 replied to newRN109's topic in General Nursing

    I would not write a letter to your former employer because they are not going to care. They are not going to change your file. If ever asked in the future if you’ve ever been terminated from a position I think you should say yes. Because if you say n...

12. Take job for less money but more potential happiness?

    greener22 replied to AnaLong's topic in NP

    Take the job where you’re happy. $3500 a year is not worth the hassle or the unhappiness. Just remember that there is no such thing as a perfect job and whatever pastor is greener is going to have crabgrass eventually

13. Is it worth it to be an NP?

    greener22 replied to Polly Peptide's topic in NP Students

    “If you don’t know why hospitals are short staffed you have not worked in a hospital..” is rude. Hospitals spend upwards of $50k training new staff and then they leave in 2 years once they finish school. Few people want be a nurse anymore- they just ...
