2. Rant About Covid Antivaxxers

   ladybugmo replied to SunDazed's topic in COVID

   Wow, I feel for the patients in your care who have different views than yourself. I think you missed a few classes in Psych 101.

3. Deal or no Deal

   ladybugmo replied to aurora1212's topic in NP

   I highly advise against that. That is almost exactly what I have been doing, and unless you have EVERYTHING spelled out in a contract, you may find that what is supposed to be provide is lacking. If you decide to do this, please make sure you conside...

   Two words....Jimmy Buffett!

5. In need of ideas!

   ladybugmo replied to AshiPanda's topic in New Nurse

   Ashi, first, check with the school from which you graduated. Many have a career placement office and those folks may be able to help you. Second, you may want to check with area LTC facilities. Many will hire new graduates. It may not be exactly what...

6. Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired

   ladybugmo replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

   I totally know the feeling. I graduated from a NP program in December 2007, and I have been sick with various things at least 4-5 times since. I think we are very exhausted and our immune systems are down when we finally finish school. Then, we start...

7. Cheating in nursing school?

   ladybugmo replied to believer4's topic in General Nursing

   Unfortunately, cheating in nursing school is more common than most of us realize. Happened in my BSN class several years ago. NOTHING was done. In my opinion, anyone caught cheating should be kicked out of the program immediately. If one will cheat ...

8. End of the Nursing Shortage

   ladybugmo replied to Flightline's topic in General Nursing

   Flightline and GoLytely, I agree 100% with you. I wasn't alive in the 1930's, so I don't truly know what it was like back then. But regardless of whether we call it an economic downturn, a recession, or a depression, I believe this situation is going...

9. End of the Nursing Shortage

   ladybugmo replied to Flightline's topic in General Nursing

   Flightline, I hope and pray that it does not happen again, but back in the early and mid-1990's, in the area where I live, there were pay cuts for nurses. And those nurses basically had to just sucked it up, because there were no other jobs without i...

10. End of the Nursing Shortage

    ladybugmo replied to Flightline's topic in General Nursing

    GoLytely, I live just down the road (so to speak) from TTC-Livingston. You are so right that students are getting into the program who would not have gotten in ten years ago. I graduated from that program back in the 1980's, and back then, it was har...

11. End of the Nursing Shortage

    ladybugmo replied to Flightline's topic in General Nursing

    I also partially agree with Flightline. I don't know if I saw the same news report that you did, but I did see an economic analyst discussing the current economic conditions in our country. He said that the economic patterns that we are seeing now ar...

12. Anyone waiting to hear from USA

    ladybugmo replied to graceofone's topic in Post Graduate

    Advanced Pharm was pretty intense. Concentrate on the classes of medications. Then look at the individual meds within the class and determine if any are particularly unique. If that is the case, make sure you know how they are unique and what implica...

13. Day in the life of psych NP/CNS

    ladybugmo replied to HealthyRN's topic in NP

    Matt, I don't know where the biggest demand is, but the job outlook for psych NP's seems to be pretty good across the country. I gather this from doing job searches on the various websites. As far as independent practice goes, I think it just depends...

    Thank you for the info. I seemed to remember something like that but couldn't remember the specifics!

    ladybugmo replied to HealthyRN's topic in NP

    RN007, thanks for the PM.....can't figure out how to reply to it!!! I haven't posted very much, so I may not be able to yet. I don't know exactly how that works.
