I have recently decided that I do not want be a family NP. I also have recently completed my program, but I do not want all of the hard work I put into it and lost time with my family to go to waste. Are there any other options out there that would ...

OK….here’s the dilemma: it’s gotten PRETTY crazy at the bedside and the hospitals are continually showing how much they DON’T care. I am currently pursuing my MSN-FNP so the flexibility of the bedside allows me to get my school obligations done. The ...

OK, I have 3.5 years of med/surg experience and now I am considering traveling. I want to travel locally. How local you ask? I want to be a travel nurse in the city that I live in. Is that possible? Could I use someone else's address that does not li...

Currently, I am enroll in a NP Program with a focus of Family NP. I have been thinking about changing to Adult-Geri. I currently work full time in a hospital where the youngest patients that have been admitted were no younger than 18. I have absolute...

Hello again, I am interested in pursuing a FNP career after 2 years (but feels like 5) of bedside nursing experience. My questions are: Can I specialize in GI with an FNP degree? Or would I have to focus on the whole body? The way my anxiety is set ...

Are there any other hospitals out there that are not paying hazard pay? Or is it just the hospital I work at ??

You should probably find another career because you’re going to have to wear a mask, for 12 hours, in the hospital so.....

I was interested in getting the RN tag for my state, but after I realized the truth about being an RN and the business of healthcare, I no longer wanted the tag.

I guess I forgot to mention that I haven’t enrolled in the NP program yet. I was just looking for some other ideas before I decide to do that.

Let your units guide you. If they’re looking for drops/min, then you know that you need to calculate the 20 drops/ml. Also, you need to calculate the 100ml/hr. There also needs to be a conversion in between, such as the hour into minutes. Disregard t...

I have decided to enroll in a 2.5 year NP program but here’s the real dilemma: I DO NOT like bedside nursing, for various reasons(everything falls on you as the nurse, nurse-to-patient ratios, etc). It sucks because I am a really caring person ?. I g...

Hello ??....scared RN here; Not scared of my current position (which I have been working for 1 year now), but afraid of the thought of NP school ?. Other NPs I have spoken to say that it is not as bad as nursing school, is this true? Is my anxiety (t...

Thanks for the feedback!!! I’m still a nervous wreck though.

Pushing Narcan is AMAZING!!! I also like to draw labs from central lines and wound care.

OMG ?.....the contents of a patient with possible MRSA EXPLODED all over me today ?. Be honest, what are my chances of getting MRSA if the patient has it??? ?.....(fortunately, none of the contents got into my eyes neither my mouth ??) Thanks guys!!!

I meant to say....the contents of a patients’ peg tube EXPLODED all over me. I was so distraught that I left that part out ??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️

I have recently decided to remove myself from the float pool (I simply became tired of floating) and become a med-surg/oncology nurse. Yesterday, my patient’s (who has pancreatic cancer) was crying and saying “I just don’t like to see him in pain”. L...

I graduated nursing school going on 4 months ago without ANY clue as to what specialty I wanted to start in. So, I was fortunate to land a job with the title "Clinical Rotation Track", which is were I can spend 2 weeks on each unit of the hospital I ...

I , personally, do not have a problem with Cerner, overall. The only thing that I can say that I have a problem with are those Task Interventions. Let get real here, we cannot always do those tasks at the exact time Cerner wants us to do it. We shoul...

Schizoaffective disorder??

School nursing, maybe??? That seems like a slower paced position

From what I've read, the NCLEX "switches gears" every 3 years, so next year will be 3 years since it was "switched up". When I took the NCLEX last month, the research questions at the end were all related to a case study. I had to read the test study...

Me three!!! :) (meaning mine too)

Does your school utilize ATI?? If so, I HIGHLY suggest that you read your med-surg ATI book along with your class med-surg book. ATI cuts out all of the "fluff" and tells you what you need to know, helping you get to that "ah-ha"moment. It is importa...
