ISTJ nurse

I'm interested in this program as well. Did you start this program?

I have a lot of experience-ICU, ltac, dialysis, home health, neuro step down etc. I don't like being a nurse. Honestly, I should have shadowed 7 years ago before deciding to enter the profession. I find my coworkers extremely draining. The constant g...

Thank you for this awesome response. I have been looking at starting a nursing informatics program. Glad I am not the only one experiencing this.

I currently work in a dialysis nurse clinic. I am struggling with finding myself in this position. I did not receive the best training from the CHT (attitude issue) so I am still anxious with sticking fistulas and grafts. The charge nurse keeps on as...

As for working in dialysis, I really like it but the drama between techs and RNs is a bit of a challenge.

Thank you for the awesome replies. I have been working on obtaining cannulating practice when I am placed in the float RN position.

Thanks Nurse Beth! I took your advice and received a job offer.

The hospital I interviewed at had joint commission that day. The manager seemed very pre-occupied. I was nervous, she left pretty quickly after meeting me, and I failed to ask when I should follow up. It has been a week. I am not certain the manager ...

Thanks you're awesome. Will look into psych NP.

Are there any master's programs you would recommend with a good job outlook. Many of my friends in my unit obtained an FNP and are still looking for a job 8 months post graduation and they are amazing, experienced (4+ years) nurses. I don'...

I was recently accepted into TWU NP school in Houston. My advisor has been sort of disorganized and unclear in regards to finding clinicals/preceptors. Does anyone have any experience with TWU's NP school? Would you recommend this program or would yo...

Hi, I have 2-3 years of ICU nursing experience. I was considering taking a CVICU position before applying to CRNA school next year. I have neuro, medical, and surgical ICU experience. I would have to switch hospitals because my hospital does no...

Super sorry I did not respond to this sooner. Thank you for your input! I love working PRN contract.

Thank you for your detailed insight into both professions. I appreciate the different perspectives. I did not consider how long residency would be for primary care and the pay afterwards would not be worth the extra education. After reading bo...

I shadowed a CRNA for 12 hours at a large hospital. It did not seem that hard of a job. I keep on reading posts about nurses that loved working in ICU also similarly love being a CRNA. However, I personally hate working as an ICU nurse for the ...

3 years part time does not look like they offer full time

I am looking into UTMB galveston now, since they offer clinicals if you are willing to drive. I am also looking into PA schools with a few prerequisites.

What medications are you guys using to boost your immune system if you contract covid-19? Thanks! I am taking vitamin D, C, and zinc.

Has anyone used typhon to find NP clinicals? Was it still challenging to find preceptors using this website? Thanks everyone!

Thanks Rnis for your advice!

I love this post. No mango or frozen pineapple anywhere:)

I applied to UT Health Science Center Houston FNP program. Does anyone have experience with finding preceptors for this program? UT Health claims they provide a list of possible clinical sites associated with the school. Thanks for your advice! "Cli...

Thank you Casa-Bella! I will start searching for preceptors far in advance.

Thanks Numenor, Verene, and SummerGarden for the clear explanation of Typhon's uses!

I am deciding whether to take a position in an ICU. It is a large hospital in a rural setting. I really do not want to care for COVID-19 patients without proper PPE. So in summary, has any nurse personally experienced COVID-19? Would you recommend...
