  2. How to tell if your school sucks

    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

    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

    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...

    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

    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. 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

    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

    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?

    Anyone have any ideas as to how to get the recruiters to even call you back? I'm currently working on my RN-BSN, am an experienced paramedic, have my CEN and multiple instructor certs, am a prior...
  11. New to Navy, ODS, Portsmouth-need any help?

    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

    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?

    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

    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?

    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

    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...

    I didn't get hired as a GN. I know they just finished a round of GNs through training so they might be opening up another round
  20. New Grad program at Florida Hospital

    Ditto to ALL of this. I finally did get a job with a Florida Hospital, Waterman. Its not due to my applications from before. I applied directly to Waterman since they do in house HR and don't depend...

    Hey everybody, I am in my last weeks of school at Polk State College (Transition) and just got a call for an interview at LRMC for next week. I live in Orange County, but have enjoyed my clinicals at...
  23. Backboards in the ED

    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?

    Only twice in the field. One was more for experience on an unresponsive GSW that turned code on scene (needle wasn't long enough... the boy was a biggun) and the second was a beautiful tension pneumo...
