    Not Excited About Becoming FNP

    Multicollinearity replied to ChristineN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm at the beginning of a DNP program. The tuition for this program will be approximately $80,000. It gave me pause when I figured out that I currently earn what a beginning NP makes in my area -...

    Male nursing student, Canada, Wondering about Correctional Nursing.

    Multicollinearity replied to martialartistadam's topic in Correctional

    Correctional nursing is a fantastic field. I miss prison nursing. There is a lot of autonomy, and you have to draw from a wide knowledge base. I'm puzzled by your comments about drama, though....

    What are hospitals doing for recruiting new nurses?

    Multicollinearity replied to BeckyBrunker's topic in General Nursing

    I work at a remote, rural hospital. There are plenty of applicants even out in the middle of nowhere. My unit will not hire new grads - only RNs with one year of experience will be considered. I...

    Best states for new grads?ca, or, wa, nm, az..?

    Multicollinearity replied to JennyandPups's topic in First Year After Licensure

    AZ is horrible for new grads. The AZ BON published a survey showing a significant percentage of new grad RNs being unemployed 6-12 months post graduation/licensure. NM is much better. The nursing...

    Any ADN-BSN programs without ridiculous papers?

    Multicollinearity replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Topics such as caring, hope, trust, and fear are central to nursing practice. These are so complex - it easy for me to imagine writing a 50 page paper on one of these topics. I'd look deeper and be...

    California DOC - what to wear, what I can/can't take in

    Multicollinearity replied to wyogypsy's topic in Correctional

    If you end up going, I would not wear clogs unless you can run fast in them. You'll need to be able to carry emergency equipment and run to "man down" calls within the prison complex. Hope your...

    Does corrections nursing make you jaded?

    NICU vs Psych position HELP

    Multicollinearity replied to athena123's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I think NICU is a wise choice. I work acute care psych. It wears on you ~ the crazy staff. NICU will give you good experience and future

    CNN article on nurses and job growth

    Multicollinearity replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry new grads are still going through this. When I graduated in 2009, the economy had just tanked, and not many of my classmates got jobs in our large urban area. I am glad I wasted no...

    How does correctional nursing look on future applications?

    Multicollinearity replied to krf1989's topic in Correctional

    Multicollinearity replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    A close loved one, frail, had an MI this morning and is in ICU. I had no choice but to jump in the car and drive 500 miles to get there. My second thought after 1) thank goodness she survived was 2)...

    Do you think psychiatric care is inadequate in the US?

    Multicollinearity replied to MusicEMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Psychiatry could do better, but I don't see that as the main problem in the US. I think the US culture is inadequate, and so is the legal system that (doesn't) deal with the problem
