  13. Help NP clinical advice after hours

    I have never heard of a primary care clinic offering extended hours. There are some that are open on Saturdays. An option might be Urgent Care, either a stand-alone center or one attached to a...

    Thank you for your service as a police officer. It is very hard to work FT and go to school FT, especially nursing school. Does your nursing school have a PT option? If so, go for that....
  17. Nursing Schools COVID Vaccine Requirements

    While GA may be more lenient in this regard, it is not common. My honest advice is that a person that does not want to get vaccinated should not choose a healthcare career. This isn't a judgment...

  22. Sexism in Advanced Practice?

    You continue to put words in my mouth that I never said. From your defensiveness, it appears that you are insecure about being an RN, and I am very sorry for that. Best wishes to
  23. Sexism in Advanced Practice?

    I am sorry that you feel RNs are "just plebes." I do not understand how you are able to know and comment on the lived experience of other people, including
  24. Sexism in Advanced Practice?

    You are being overly sensitive and you also did not read the original question closely. Here is the original question: "I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced sexism in the workplace as an NP,...
  25. Sexism in Advanced Practice?

    Did I say that? No, I did not. I correctly pointed out that the question was for Advanced Practice Nurses, not for RNs. I would not answer a questions directed at RNs, as I am not an RN. I think...
