  1. Anyone else regret becoming a nurse?

    rn409 replied to Florida Sun RN's topic in General Nursing

    It won’t get any better if there aren’t people in the job who care. And telling others not to go into nursing just because you don’t like it is incredibly selfish. IMO, it’s an extremely...

  3. Is it just me or is nursing school not as difficult as everyone makes it sound?

    rn409 replied to Nicolecn's topic in General Students

    I think the maturity level of some people entering the problem is probably pretty low. You’re talking about 20-22 year olds... so of course it’s hard compared to the other courses they’ve taken....

  4. Is it just me or is nursing school not as difficult as everyone makes it sound?

    rn409 replied to Nicolecn's topic in General Students

    I think each person learns differently- it takes me a long time to absorb material and I’ve found a process that works best for me. It isn’t the fastest way, but it is the most efficient it can be...

  5. Is it just me or is nursing school not as difficult as everyone makes it sound?

    rn409 replied to Nicolecn's topic in General Students

    I agree maybe keeping mum about your thoughts... it’s not that you shouldn’t be proud, but it’s different for everyone and voicing all that makes others feel very inferior. It’s not all about...

    I didn’t have an interview (which admissions told me is very sporadic for this one) and I applied to the ACAGNP. I am applying with my

  7. Crossroad: need advice/thoughts on my route

    rn409 replied to ASCATRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You’ll always have the opportunity to try for NP school afterward and may have a better feel for the type of specialty you would most

  8. Crossroad: need advice/thoughts on my route

    rn409 replied to ASCATRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You should do what you think is right for you... but that is an awful lot of work and time for just a “back up career.” Will the money cover books and travel costs as well (for clinical days)?...

    rn409 replied to LCSWtoPMHNP's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think so. That’s what I gleaned from the 2018

  10. Difficult conversations in the ICU

    rn409 replied to Ddestiny's topic in Critical Care

    I pester the physician to either talk to them or consult palliative care depending on the situation. Personally, I do not feel talking to a family about something they’re refusing to believe is in...

  11. Tips for AACN CCRN review ?

    rn409 replied to JLB1215's topic in Critical Care

    Barron’s is all I used... went through every page nd typed up notes. Then took every test and really focused on the rationales as well. There were several rationales that were questions on the exam....

    rn409 replied to Emmastone's topic in Critical Care

    I called admissions Monday- she told me decisions would be released mid to late February. She didn’t give any more details than
