   HurdYou replied to DNTcode's topic in General Nursing

   HurdYou replied to DiplomaNurseRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I despise the "my daughter (or son) will be here later, she's a nurse and she the mean one" conversation. I'm thinking "SO!" But I just smile and say "oh really? in what area does she work?" I have...

3. Being called a racial slur by a patient I sat?

   HurdYou replied to Rayrayma's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   HurdYou replied to CRC12's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Awwww, you haven't experienced anything yet. Of course you feel like you've got this! Stand down grasshopper! I've seen the cocky new nurse get her behind handed to her by the doctors and other...

6. Any Cardiology NP's? What do you do?

   HurdYou replied to MJC2118's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   So, I'm not an NP, yet, but my former supervisor is a new FNP at the same hospital. Anyway, I work on a cardiology unit at a hospital where a particular cardiologist group admits their patients from...

7. Exactly how competitive are MSN-FNP programs?

   HurdYou replied to smnoh's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   HurdYou replied to patelbijal85's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   #proudtobeanurse, I applied to the adult/geri primary care NP program. Yeah, the guy told me that if I hadn't called, it may have still been sitting in limbo. Wonder what

9. When to call Rapid Response Team?

    HurdYou replied to patelbijal85's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I received my acceptance letter today, after waiting 3 months and my application sitting in space. Had I not called, it would still be there. Did any of you have to interview? I'm seeing people say...

11. When to call Rapid Response Team?

    HurdYou replied to LUCBSN's topic in Critical Care
