2. Hofstra FNP 2020

   UKRNBSN replied to K.Alva's topic in NP Students

   Basically just given scenarios & ask questions about what you'd do in different situations & why. Nothing clinical or nursing based. The website has a practice test. Not really something you can study for

3. Hofstra FNP 2020

   UKRNBSN replied to K.Alva's topic in NP Students

   My coworker is graduating as a psych NP from Hofstra at the end of the month. She worked FT nights throughout the program & that's what I'll be trying to do as well. She said it was tough but doable. Definitely don't want to downplay how hard ...

   Please believe we are getting hit BAD. I work at one of the hot spot hospitals in NY & we've been a COVID unit (regularly med surg) for a little over a month now. Admissions are finally starting to slowly decrease but the number of RRTs, codes,...

9. My Ultimate Warning based on personal Experience with COVID+ patients and co-workers.

   UKRNBSN replied to theoneandonly's topic in COVID

   The OP seems to have exaggerated justttt a bit. I work on M/S floor which was turned into a Covid r/o floor for a short period before becoming one of the many Covid floors in my hospital. I work in one of the "hot spot" hospitals in NY. I've seen ...

10. Hofstra FNP 2020

    UKRNBSN replied to K.Alva's topic in NP Students

    Oh OK. I took my casper test on the 2nd which is their virtual interview but it takes 3 weeks for results to come back. One of my coworkers is in their Psych NP program, works full time & is going to graduate in May so its possible. Hard, but ...

12. Anyone applying to Stonybrook FNP for summer 2020?

    UKRNBSN replied to JLB1215's topic in NP Students

14. Death threats at work?

    UKRNBSN replied to UKRNBSN's topic in General Nursing

    For clarification immediately afterward I of course told him that it wasn't acceptable and mentioned that security will get involved if he continued, which is when he stopped. But I've definitely realized since then that I should've escalated it imme...

15. Death threats at work?

    UKRNBSN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Do we put up with too much as nurses? So I'm a new grad grad nurse, graduated May 2018, & have been working as a med surg-nurse for the last 6 months. Before that, I'd been working as a nursing assistant and tele tech for 5 years. The other nig...
