  1. Malicious "pimping" in nursing / nurse practitioner school?

    RomaniGypsy replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in General Nursing

    As long as it wasn't totally random and the information that was the subject of the quizzing was stuff that any nurse could be reasonably expected to have to know and use in the course of his/her work...

  2. Read my story and tell me if I should become an NP.

    RomaniGypsy replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't really mind that you can't answer each point. I was looking mostly for overall opinions, and they can be general as yours was. Anyway, when I said that we could live on what we have now, I...

  3. Malicious "pimping" in nursing / nurse practitioner school?

    RomaniGypsy replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in General Nursing

    I think I just learned that I can't multi-quote in here. When I said the "medical community", I chose that term so that nobody would think that I find there to be an unpalatable difference between...

  4. Malicious "pimping" in nursing / nurse practitioner school?

    RomaniGypsy replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in General Nursing

    I get that, but that's what the medical community calls it. If y'all have a different term for it, that's fine, because all I really care about is figuring out how common it is for instructors to mock...

  5. What's the deal with the "nursing shortage"?

    RomaniGypsy posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know that sounds general but I really want to know, from the perspective of nurses (not the internet), why there is a shortage. I will start with the way I see it, and I'd like y'all to respond...

  6. Can you have a dual specialty as an NP?

    RomaniGypsy posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've been spending a lot of time investigating what my next career move will be, and it has come down to four possibilities: counseling, clinical psychology, or medical practice in the form of nursing...

  7. Attitude differences between nurses & doctors?

    RomaniGypsy posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am not "in the medical field" yet, in any official sense, though my wife and I do make our living entertaining for nursing homes / assisted living homes / et al. I have been investigating going into...

  8. Attitude differences between nurses & doctors?

    RomaniGypsy replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I certainly don't want to downplay your aspirations... but I aim higher, for better or for worse. Though any positive effect on anyone is better than no positive effect at all, I've always been the...

  9. 38yo male, VERY non-traditional potential nursing student... advice?

    RomaniGypsy posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Okay y'all... giving this a shot for my first thread. I've "lurked" for a while, searched a bunch of threads... can't find something all that close to my situation, so here goes. Turning 38 in the...

  10. Attitude differences between nurses & doctors?

    RomaniGypsy replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Because my career and life goals are very tightly intertwined... and in reality, they are so unusual that most people here would find them quite unbelievable. In the interest of not coming off like...

  11. Attitude differences between nurses & doctors?

    RomaniGypsy replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I believe I have accounted for that. I am specifically referring to people who are practicing doctors and/or professors at medical schools (who are probably also MDs or DOs). Another reason why I'm...

  12. 38yo male, VERY non-traditional potential nursing student... advice?

    RomaniGypsy replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks, all, for the information so far. I really have been reading it - just had a lot to do recently. One big question I have, given what some of y'all have said, is this: Exactly what is the...

  13. 38yo male, VERY non-traditional potential nursing student... advice?

    RomaniGypsy replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in Nursing Career

    I've thought about that... but I've spent a good amount of time over the last 16 years working in nursing homes and assisted living homes, as an entertainer and a maintenance guy... and in my...
