1. The Frustration of Getting Licensed

   CarolinaRN0501 replied to CarolinaRN0501's topic in Advanced

   I wish I had had the opportunity to network-there was an opportunity at a conference being held near my school but it was canceled due to COVID. Can’t focus on the what if’s though. Trust me, I am not striking out on my own haha. Major ...

2. The Frustration of Getting Licensed

   CarolinaRN0501 replied to CarolinaRN0501's topic in Advanced

   Congrats on passing boards! And it's for your APRN license but only in certain states-states that have restricted practice basically. Some states will not give you a license (but will let you become "registered"...) or they will license you but ...

6. Medication error

   CarolinaRN0501 replied to red426's topic in General Nursing

   Please, do not let this turn you away from nursing. Learn from it. Grow from it. Any nurse that says they have never made an error of some sort is lying through their teeth. As several people have said already, there were a chain of events that lea...

7. Clinical Experience Thoughts

   CarolinaRN0501 replied to CarolinaRN0501's topic in NP Students

   Thank you everyone for your responses. As the initial soreness and shock of the experience of it has worn off I can look back on this experience and agree with all of you. Yes, there were some miscommunication errors here. I had met my preceptor fac...

8. Clinical Experience Thoughts

   CarolinaRN0501 posted a topic in NP Students

   As most nurse practitioner students know, it is very difficult finding preceptors. I secured this preceptor in September/October last year. Paperwork was sent back and forth and approved by all parties involved (school faculty, office manager, and pr...
