   What does you contract specify about vacation utilization? If they were to cancel your vacation based on you giving notice that would be seem to be a decision made by the employer in bad faith.

3. need advice

   alex1214 replied to 8-ball's topic in NP Students

   If you want to practice as an NP in an ICU or in a hospital setting you definitely need to have an acute care specialty certification. However, if you want to practice outside of the hospital and in a rural setting then FNP is the route to go.

   There is no way I would work a 1:75 ratio of an assignment. What if something happens? You have to protect your license. Especially as a new grad.

5. Was I wrong?

   alex1214 replied to AudreyLangston's topic in Chamberlain College

   Graduated from this program with an MSN FNP. Loved it. Great program. What you put into it is what you get out of it. Highly recommended.

   Close call. Keeping tabs on patient information is pretty important. I'm glad you found it.

10. Suicide screening for all is not needed

    alex1214 replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    You're right, having too many SI/depression questionnaires is not necessarily a good thing sometimes. Unfortunately though this is done due to joint commission requirements, which are pretty strict.

11. Hypothetical situation, thoughts?

    alex1214 replied to ladysyrah's topic in General Students

    The best course of action would be to follow the state's Good Samaritan act

12. Will this affect my future career as an RN?

    alex1214 replied to Alexxoxox's topic in General Students

    Employers won't see it as a big deal that you quit the CNA job, as long you left on good terms. Also, the quality of work is probably pretty important too. If you're a new grad special nursing residency programs are an amazing way to get your foot in...
