   SillyFever replied to Sav101's topic in Critical Care

   I have only done one ICU, so I can't speak for others. However, I used to work in a mixed medical/surgical ICU and I really liked it. It was a mix of everything from cardiac, GI, neuro, respiratory,...

2. Would you rather stay as an RN or work as a NP?

   SillyFever replied to SillyFever's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   That’s amazing! I am really glad you like being a NP. Maybe one day I might move into the role, but I have no idea where I want to be. I’m happy in my role as an RN and like the flexibility in...

3. Would you rather stay as an RN or work as a NP?

   SillyFever posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Hi everyone, Just curious on the opinions I might get to this question. Would you rather stay as an RN and work pretty much in any specialty? Or do you think becoming an NP is worth specializing...

   Hi everyone, So pretty much like the title suggests I am looking for opinions on those who have went to a Certified Nurse Midwifery program without any labor and delivery experience. I graduated...

5. Do my stats look good for CRNA school?

   Hi Everyone, Pretty much looking for advice on what other SRNA's and CRNA's think about my current stats for CRNA school. ADN - 3.5 GPA Science - 3.25 GPA BSN - 4.0 GPA I...

6. Nurse midwifery program with low GPA?

   SillyFever replied to BSNMomOf6's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

   While you may have a lower GPA than another candidate - this isn't always what Graduate Schools look at. They will take everything into consideration, especially since you do have 20 years of...

8. Women’s Health NP

   SillyFever replied to SillyFever's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Thank you for your reply! There is one grad school where I live that offers a dual CNM/WHNP degree - I have been thinking about this. As for my career, I know I want to specialize in women's health. I...

   Hello all, Just a little background. I am a new grad nurse, currently working full time at a nursing home. I am almost halfway through my BSN and am thinking about my future. I’ve always wanted...

10. L&D - is it a good place to start?

    SillyFever replied to SillyFever's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you for the input. I never actually got a job in either of those departments since there hasn't been a lot of jobs available for those units where I live. I ended up in adult ICU and hope to be...

11. New Grad Needs Advice! ED or M/S?

    SillyFever replied to Candykens's topic in General Nursing

    I am also a new grad RN so this is simply my opinion. But if I was in your shoes I would take the job that your heart is in. Pay is a huge part of it but why take the M/S job if your heart is not...

    Thank you! That actually gives me some hope that I can still get rehired if I

13. Quit While in Orientation (New grad)

    SillyFever replied to SillyFever's topic in General Nursing

    Where I live they would not hire a new grad who did not have a BSN or some kind of experience in peds/NICU. Adult ICU was the way to go if I even want to try to go in that area. I tried L&D and...

    SillyFever replied to SillyFever's topic in General Nursing

    The comments don't bother me, everyone has their opinion. It's a matter of respecting the other person that's all. In regards to your post, my manager handled it well I thought. I spoke with HR and my...
