  1. derm & aesthetic NPs

    MursingMedic replied to paul3489's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm also curious about this. I'd love to hear the typical derm path that leads to

  2. How to tell if your school sucks

    MursingMedic replied to synaptic's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    While I agree with some of the items on your list, I also sense a level of hostility or resentment to some of the programs or people who apply to said programs which aren't as selective as others....

  3. University of Washington DNP application '16

    MursingMedic replied to RunLove13's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I left the ED a little less than a year ago to take a position as a program coordinator. Hopefully that won't take away points.

  4. University of Washington DNP application '16

    MursingMedic replied to RunLove13's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I feel my essays were my weakest point. I'm super critical of myself when it comes to stuff like that since I'm more of an analytical personality instead of the creative writer. I can bust my ass and...

  5. UW DNP program

    MursingMedic replied to dsab's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Reviving this thread for the Fall 2016 cohort. I applied to the AGNP-AC track. Anyone else out

  6. University of Washington DNP application '16

    MursingMedic replied to RunLove13's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Good luck KT_RN! I also submitted my application last weekend. It was definitely the most comprehensive application I've filled out. Out of curiosity, which track did you apply for? I applied to the...

  7. Has anyone done George Washington University Online Program?!?!

    MursingMedic replied to LKWalters22's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Reading through this thread, I haven't seen one person get turned down. Everyone has been accepted, and some with less than one year of nursing experience. I am curious as to what the pass rate is for...

  8. FNP vs. ACNP

    MursingMedic replied to LacyMarie's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thank you for asking this! I've been wavering back and forth as well. I see myself working in a specialty type setting but didn't want to limit myself out of the ED by going AG-ACNP. I wouldn't...

  9. University of Washington DNP application '16

    MursingMedic replied to RunLove13's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The title of this thread is kinda misleading. I'm currently in the middle of the application process and thought (based off of the title) that this was an application discussion and update thread for...

  10. New to Navy, ODS, Portsmouth-need any help?

    MursingMedic replied to Sw88tpea's topic in Government, Military

    MursingMedic replied to Sw88tpea's topic in Government, Military

    I'm having a hard time just getting someone at my NRD to answer the phone or call me back. It was totally different when I enlisted. Had to beat the recruiters off with a

    @PMFB-RN, I love your profile pic! I might be stealing it for other purposes.

  14. Thin skinned nurses

    MursingMedic replied to cinja's topic in Men in Nursing

    If you feel the need to yell at me for not getting your dilaudee request, then I feel the need to stand there staring at you with arms crossed sternly telling you you're not going to get it. I'm not...

  15. New to Navy, ODS, Portsmouth-need any help?

    MursingMedic replied to Sw88tpea's topic in Government, Military

    This has been the most informative thread I've read in quite some time. Thanks for starting it up. I as well have some questions if anyone has a couple seconds to help. I am a prior service HM2 last...

  16. New name for nurses who are men

    MursingMedic replied to midlife101's topic in Men in Nursing

    I could care less. I chose my user name here just to keep it lively. Someone mentioned something about corpsmen, and I did the same damn job as a corpsman in an ER in Japan as I do in an ER here in...

  17. Is Being a Male nurse hard?

    MursingMedic replied to thegreatone28's topic in Men in Nursing

    One of the jobs where I work, The manager and assistant manager are both guys. At my other job my supervisor is a guy. I think as long as the old Brunhildas of nursing continue to retire, so too will...

  18. Extremely Offensive ER experience

    MursingMedic replied to NickB's topic in Emergency

    Sounds like you got caught up in a mix of high expectations and some poor communication from the ER staff. ERs are unfortunately in the business of throughput. You seem to have been well versed on...

  23. Backboards in the ED

    MursingMedic replied to mwboswell's topic in Emergency

    It differs from quality of medic attending the call in some places, and in others it is a protocol issue. My last agency I worked for had an awesome protocol for clearing c-spine. The medic could...

  24. Needle Chest Decompression?

    MursingMedic replied to mwboswell's topic in Emergency
