  1. 15hr CEUs after failing FNP boards

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to Simz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Take the other exam and you won’t need to do the CEUs. If you failed AANP, take ANCC this

  2. Desperately Need to Vent

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to LiLev's topic in Emergency

    I am an NP and some doctors treat me like this on the regular. Do not take it personal. Just like you’ll find nurses that are mean, and difficult to deal with you’ll find physicians that are this...

  3. AANP exam prep

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to Shriya Trivedi's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I highly recommend doing the Sarah Michelle review course. If you can do the live review. Especially if you have test anxiety. She has strategies on how to manage this. Best of luck. You can do

  4. Unions - Yay or Nay?

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to Kiwi82's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    If the union is active, it’s a yay for me. Better working conditions, better pay. Good benefits and better

  5. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Right? Imagine! We all should be perfect out of school! Some people around here forgot what it was like to be new and based on comments on this thread and others I have seen doesn't seem to be...

  6. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    then I guess an FNP shouldn’t take a job in cardiology and we should work on getting some cardiology NP programs going so they can be ready to go so school can specifically prepare someone for...

  7. BSN-DNP yes or no?

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to lizdimi54873's topic in Nursing Career

    It is hard work as a bedside RN, you are correct but we aren’t going to do this “who has it harder” argument because it’s not productive. Both roles are difficult and

  8. BSN-DNP yes or no?

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to lizdimi54873's topic in Nursing Career

    We cannot always just fire a patient, there is still some level of abandonment associated with this. There’s also a ton of responsibility, and a ton of nonsense associated with being an NP. It’s...

  9. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I get that you feel that way, but nothing is worth compromising your license. Nothing. You might feel like there are no jobs available out there based on online listings, but the more you get out...

  10. How do you go about looking for a job?

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to alexamasan's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Reach out to your old preceptors, and talk to any NPs or other providers you know working in primary care offices to see if there are any open positions. A lot jobs out there are networking, and not...

  11. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This doesn't sound like the best environment, and I agree that some physicians don't understand what we do, or anything about our scope. If you don't think someone there is willing to provide...

  12. Offensive Raise Structure

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    time to go to a new employer! Likely both. Google your CEO's salary, your hospital has more than enough money to pay nurses what they are worth. They just probably don't value them. This is...

  13. Passed the ANCC FNP exam May 2022

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to Freckledkorican's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I actually really tried to get into Urgent Care because many don't have PM requirements for shifts, but none would hire me without experience... but I was able to get into the ED. I basically see...

  14. Racism at clinical site...what to do?

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to ybstressed's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It sounds like your instructor may also be a

  15. Need some serious advice and help regarding HR and possibly about to be fired

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to in.despair's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It *may* be in your best interest at this point to put in your notice at this time to save yourself at this organization. I would not give anyone my medical records. It's not any of their business....

  16. Considering leaving job as NP to go back to school

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to Guest1192979's topic in Nursing Career

    What is it that you would want to go back to school for? I am unclear. To work in surgery doing what? to go to medical school and become a surgeon? Do to RNFA? Surgical Tech? This is...

  17. Feeling Lost

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to Nurselives4coffee's topic in Emergency

    Life is too short to stay somewhere that you are unhappy with. If you are so unhappy that the thought of going to work is stressing you out, that's your sign that it's time for a change. There is...

  18. Frustrated with New Manager

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Nursing Career

    Now. Can you just go elsewhere? I would guess you can, the job market is hot right now for RNs. This place honestly sounds like a circus. Who puts a nurse in a management role with zero...

  19. Not sure what to do

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to tide22's topic in Nursing Career

    I work in the Emergency Department as an NP, and I love it!! I have never worked hospice so I don't have a comparison there. I can tell you, that I wouldn't want to work Family Practice because I...

  20. Help! I can't stop looking at new RN openings and wanting to jump ship

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    THIS!! all of it! this is me so much. TO ME, my wellbeing and satisfaction and life OUTSIDE of work is so much more important to me than how much I am making. I have *enough*, I am happy, healthy,...

  21. Change fields?

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to Brittanydub's topic in Nursing Career

    What is it that you hate about nursing and can you do something else in nursing that doesn't involve the part you hate about

  22. Help! I can't stop looking at new RN openings and wanting to jump ship

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Organizationally, I think these hospitals need to start looking at why nurses are leaving though instead of trying to throw money (a bandaid) at the problem. This has always been an issue, and the...

  23. Advice For 'Wanna-Be-ICU Nurse' (new grad)

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to whitetable's topic in Nursing Career

    This is a very antiquated thought process, and many hospitals have residency programs these days in ICU, ER, L&D and other specialties and the nurses do great! Exactly this! There are New...

  24. Help! I can't stop looking at new RN openings and wanting to jump ship

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    This is literally not the nurse's responsibility to consider, and no one should ever be guilted into staying at a crappy job because it costs "an average of $40,000" to train them. What needs to...

  25. Help! I can't stop looking at new RN openings and wanting to jump ship

    AlwaysTiredNP replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Sign on bonus of $20K is usually a huge red flag. Why are they offering a sign on bonus? why do they have to pay people that much just to take a job there? What's the turnover rate? These are the...
