1. Carson-Newman for FNP Certification

   ML1376 posted a topic in NP Students

   Hello there. I've been an RN for 5 years. I have my BSN and got an MSN in Nursing Informatics from WGU. Many FNP programs don't accept WGU credits due to their "pass/fail" system. Carson-Newman says they offer an FNP certificate program and my MSN ca...

2. We Did Not Sign Up For This

   “We chalked that up to she is more important than us........in her eyes.” So wanting to protect herself and loved ones by not wanting to work in an environment where safety precautions were thrown out the window (putting it lightly).. where ...

3. Am I a coward for going on FMLA due to COVID?

   ML1376 replied to ML1376's topic in COVID

   Well, as an update, they didn't allow FMLA, but I took an unpaid LOA until the end of May. My manager emailed about the upcoming schedule and what my availability is. I've been in regular communication with my co-workers and consistently told how bad...

4. Am I a coward for going on FMLA due to COVID?

   ML1376 replied to ML1376's topic in COVID

   I haven't been there since the end of March, but at that point, it was surgical masks only for covid rule outs, with test results taking 4-6 days to come back. Only if pt was having aersolizing procedures was an N95 required. That was protocol then a...

5. To be a coward, or to be a fool?

   ML1376 replied to MsJenn_The_RN's topic in COVID

   And you shouldn’t be posting with that bs. Whoever is to blame, RN’s should not have to put their lives on the line, every 12 hour shift, every week for an indeterminate amount time. Included in the oath you’re should speaking about, should RN’s ris...

   Yeah. Was just getting an update from 2 on the ICU status today. It’s pretty bleak. But I understand. Looking at different opportunities I can find.

   ML1376 replied to Alexa Weaver's topic in COVID

   Losing "friends" because of it? I question that title, no offense. Nursing friends/co-workers or ones who have no idea what it's like and are judging simply for the sake of it? Either way, If they won't or or for whatever reason cannot understand how...

    ML1376 replied to BlessYourHeartt's topic in COVID

    I can definitely relate.. not so much on the kids factor, but the overall dilemma, as I believe all of us on here can. And to see how it is currently being bungled and completely mismanaged from the local level all the way up to the White House and h...

    ML1376 replied to covidletmebeanurse's topic in COVID

    Hello there.. I just wanted to reach out to you. I have to say, my heart breaks after reading that. Regarding work, are you in a high risk group and if so, can you do FMLA? Do you have any money saved if you want to step away? Maybe if you don't alre...

13. Am I a coward for going on FMLA due to COVID?

    ML1376 replied to ML1376's topic in COVID

    Thank you for pointing that out. Something I meant to include in my last reply but got caught up with everything else haha. But it's sad and true nonetheless. And when that happens, nurses from far and wide won't be able to leave work to attend the f...

    ML1376 replied to MunoRN's topic in COVID

    One study, in one journal, that involved one instance of exposure. Not convinced just yet..

    ML1376 replied to ML1376's topic in COVID

    At first your point hit me. But I then gave your comparison some thought and here’s my take. Sorry.. this is going to be long.. Parkland vs. Covid? Apples to oranges. Parkland was a one-time occurrence in an emergency situation. He had the necessary ...
