   YG FNP replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

   When I started nursing I was on a med-surg diabetic/renal floor. We had regular med-surg, all the DKA drips, and CAPD patients. The floor was not respected by the other specialty floor nurses or administration. I felt this was mostly due to the type...

   YG FNP replied to angel1312's topic in General Nursing

   Leaving aside the politics that seems to have become part of the conversation, I am speaking to Angel1312, I would work with the advisors at the school you went to and see if they have any contacts at the hospitals your cohort was supposed to be in. ...

3. APRN - Is it worth it.....

   YG FNP replied to DialysisRN34's topic in Advanced

   I can share my experience and opinion, take from them what helps. I have been a nurse for 11 years, and in that time I have been extremely fortunate to have many different opportunities. Each one had different pros and cons. I have been a manager,...

4. How long did it take for AZ BRN take to accept your fingerprint card?

   YG FNP replied to blossomingnurse's topic in Arizona

   So did you get approval yet? I sent mine in May 12th and still nothing on my portal except that darned red X like you mentioned. I have an interview next week that I have already put off once and still no license. It is quite upsetting.

   YG FNP replied to eternalstudent328's topic in NP Students

   Congratulations! You are probably somewhat numb like I was - but be proud of yourself and take time to reflect and absorb that you really are a FNP-C!! I used all the same products you did as well in January, I totally concur!

   YG FNP replied to Tait's topic in COVID

   If your facility is able to see long term rather than succumbing to the knee-jerk policy style so many health care systems become comfortable with, they will realize that having educated staff is not only important but vital to their sustainability. ...

7. Low Pay...for New Grad?

   YG FNP replied to HealthNutNP's topic in NP

   Recently graduating in December while living in the southeast, I would have been offered ~ $95K if I had stayed and worked as a new grad in Virginia. That was the starting salary at the large healthcare organization I was with was offering, and it w...

8. VA hiring process 2020

   YG FNP replied to RosesrReder's topic in Government

   I haven't. I was unsure if that was appropriate or not, since I had received the qualifying email. It is such a stressful time right now with hiring freezes going in in several places, but I was hoping since the temporary position has already done t...

11. Abandoning Ship

    YG FNP replied to cin808's topic in Career Support

    I think you alive and caring for yourself and loved ones is more important than the guilt you feel at leaving your unit. When all this is over there will be other types of nursing that you could consider that will not put you in a vulnerable positio...

    YG FNP replied to Corey Narry's topic in NP

    Thank you for the words of encouragement TheSquire, I am trying to stay positive and encouraging words from those who have lived it help tremendously. Wish I could say it was because I was picky, but I truly believe it is a combination of unfortunat...

    YG FNP replied to Corey Narry's topic in NP

    I am a newly graduated FNP who is still working in the ED as an RN while trying to find a job. No one has time to train a new graduate and I still have to eat, so it is the front lines here with a surgical mask, eye shield and the n-95 in a paper ba...
