Patients Say the Darnedest Things - WIN $250! Nurses Week Contest 2018
I was taking care of an older gentleman and was warned that he had a potty dirty mouth. I had him in his wheel chair and while I walked away after parking him he asked me to see my lady parts, but in a much dirtier term. I ignored him so that mad him more determined. As I walked further down the hall he started yelling again and again "let me see your *****, I know it looks good." I turned 50 shades of red and the hall seemed to get longer rather than shorter.

FNP practice
Thanks for all of the replies. I am in Kansas City and last year as. BSN full time I only made 51K. So getting bumped up to 80 or more seems like a good enough increase to motivate me as far as pay. I have looled into pay and it ranges from 85 to 120. With my employee discount school will cost me about 29k. I am planning to pay cash as I go or at least half. So it seems like the numbers are there it is just my own worries about the role of an FNP vs a floor nurse. I am worried about the responsibility and actually gettinf through school and passing the test as well. So many decisions. Thanks

FNP Oversaturation
I am not sure if I agree completely with this comment. I applied for FNP school for an online program and have 2 yrs of tele pcu experience, I was accepted with a phone interview and my trascripts. I do not mean to be snarky, but my comments lie in my concerns as well. I am concerned as I am supposed to start FNP school in 3 weeks if this is right for me. I want to know I will make a significantly better salary and have a job.

FNP practice
Hi everyone, I am new around here so help me please. I have my BSN for 2 years now and have enjoyed work thus far. I am 38, a wife and mother. Although I am enjoying being a busy tele pcu nurse I cannot begin to think I will be able to do this for 30 more yrs. I applied for FNP school and got accepted. I am just worried if this is the right choice for me or not. I applied because I enjoy nursing and want to spend my career as a nurse but I want to have outlets for making more money for my family as well as a possible more 8-5 type of choice for hours. I am supposed to start school in 3 weeks and am so conflicted as to what to do. If I am being completely honest I am terrified. I feel like I have no idea if this is right for me. I am not afraid to be honest and say I really just want to make more money with my BSN but do not know how. I do love nursing, and what we do for patients. I just do not know if going into FNP just for a pay increase is the right thing to do. Any advice.
