  1. Leaving the bedside

    Guest1144461 replied to Newbie4567's topic in General Nursing

    To do what? Public health, community health, education and care management are all

  2. Is NPO really NPO??

    Guest1144461 replied to LH366's topic in General Nursing

    NP here. Generally we are okay with sips of water/ice chips but it should be specified. Rarely is there an ABSOLUTE NPO order but it happens in certain

  3. BSN to MSW??

    Guest1144461 replied to CFanRN's topic in General Nursing

    Many hospitals use "Care Managers" which are RNs that function in a pseudo MSW role. Why not do

  4. NP residency and salaries

    Guest1144461 replied to Sun1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sure

  5. Chances of finding RN position with the ability to commit only a few months before moving?

    Guest1144461 replied to soluscreas's topic in General Nursing

    0 chance unless you lied. The cost of training you as a new grad is easily 50-75k. Don't waste their

  6. NP residency and salaries

    Guest1144461 replied to Sun1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NP school rankings don't matter if you look at the nuts and bolts of how they compile the rankings. I would say in general, an on campus program with a well known rep (JHU, Penn etc) might be better...

  7. NP residency and salaries

    Guest1144461 replied to Sun1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Easy. The lack of clinical hours, piss poor accreditation oversight and low barrier to entry has gutted any legitimacy of NP programs. ANY RN with a BSN and a pulse can find some NP school to accept...

  8. NP residency and salaries

    Guest1144461 replied to Sun1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Here is a link example: (2017) Old so I would individually check each link, also use Google well. I found programs not listed when I was looking. Lots of programs come and go depending on the budget...

  9. NP residency and salaries

    Guest1144461 replied to Sun1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You don't have to but I did. I STRONGLY recommend one. Problem is, there aren't many and they are very very competitive. I am talking a couple hundred applicants for 1-2

  10. NP school, did you pull a loan or paid in cash?

    Guest1144461 replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Some jobs might have nominal loan repayment but unless you go to a Native Reservation or SEVERELY undeserved are you will be footing the

  11. No Jobs For New Grads Despite RN Time?!

    Guest1144461 replied to kdawnz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Its a risk, the market is saturated for NPs in most suburban and metro areas. If you REALLY want a job, go

  12. If the US started a system like the NHS in the UK should nurses expect a cut in pay

    Guest1144461 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Once again, its the VA that's not real life for 99.9% of nurses. Look I am not going to argue with you. You are for unions, I got it. I just didn't want to be a wage slave my entire life. I like being...

  13. If the US started a system like the NHS in the UK should nurses expect a cut in pay

    Guest1144461 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Jobs are plentiful everywhere and salaries rarely vary more than couple dollars. Literally find me a hospital that isn't hiring nurses with 1-2+ years experience. Your situation is unique, what you...

  14. If the US started a system like the NHS in the UK should nurses expect a cut in pay

    Guest1144461 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Truth hurts, there is a reason why actual "professional" careers don't involve unions. Nursing loves to tote this line between white collar and blue collar. Hmm wonder why. Unions breed incompetence...

  15. Sawyer Initiative

    Guest1144461 replied to Richard Michael Brett's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Cat is out of the bed, the nursing accreditation bodies got greedy and should have done something years

  16. If the US started a system like the NHS in the UK should nurses expect a cut in pay

    Guest1144461 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Unions are good until that garbage nurse that is lazy and entitled makes 20 dollars an hour more than you for simply existing. There is 0 incentive to work hard in a union. I couldn't stand it. My...

  17. On line NP or On-campus Np? (MA)

    Guest1144461 replied to Rosemarch's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Okay so if this the and norm, one should question NP education across the board. There is absolutely no quality and control with this system. Schools were continue to pull this crap until the...

  18. If the US started a system like the NHS in the UK should nurses expect a cut in pay

    Guest1144461 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Percentages are off but it doesn't matter, UK is still much higher. The average tax rate in the UK is 40-45% for most people, even at the highest tax bracket here you won't even come close to that...

  19. If the US started a system like the NHS in the UK should nurses expect a cut in pay

    Guest1144461 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Where my grandparents lived outside of London it was easily 2500-4000 US dollars unless you want a complete dump or something in the middle of

  20. Applying to NP School at Simmons

    Guest1144461 replied to Future MSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No I have always wanted to be a provider, I will take the stress because I enjoy the

  21. Do pH nurses change their title to doctors?

    Guest1144461 replied to Future MSN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Regardless, it still doesn't happen that way. The only "doctors" by name in he hospital are

  22. Do pH nurses change their title to doctors?

    Guest1144461 replied to Future MSN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    No one actually does this though. Clinical world is different from academia. We say Bob from PT or John the NP with the hospitalist

  23. Do pH nurses change their title to doctors?

    Guest1144461 replied to Future MSN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    No NP I know uses the term doctor in an inpatient clinical setting. Culturally it just isn't a thing. Pharmacists and PTs are often "doctors" too, do we call them

  24. CRNA to ACNP or FNP repost

    Guest1144461 replied to CVCRNA1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Jack of all trades master of none unfortunately isn't what the FNP is anymore. Most likely those ICU FNPs came in with experience, no metro area I have ever been in has FNPs in the ICU. If you want...

  25. HATE bedside nursing

    Guest1144461 replied to Clueless in CA's topic in General Nursing

    FWIW the NP world isn't going to be better. This myth #1 that bedside RNs believe when thinking about NP
