  1. Negative Feedback from GN Interview - HELP!!!

    MommyandRN replied to jtnurse13's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree with so many responses above. I think a business interview, you shouldn't admit you will make mistakes. But in a nursing interview, especially as a new grad, you should say that you expect...

    MommyandRN replied to jrsRN07's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    MommyandRN replied to Phoenix2541's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This is ridiculous,you should not have been fired! And yet I could see this happening at every hospital I have worked in. They have to cover their own butts in case someone sues. God forbid. Best...

    MommyandRN replied to TeleRN128's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Same here... I've been trying to work in mother/baby, l and d, nicu and no one will take my adult critical care experience. I believe they all just want new grads going into the specialty

  7. Anybody want to help me plan my career??

    MommyandRN replied to kerussll's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Maybe a pediatric nurse practitioner? You would still use your neonatal experience but give you more options. BTW, I have to say something... I believe you meant "role" not

  13. NP to CRNA?!

    MommyandRN replied to Missy89's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    A friend of mine was an adult acute care NP and went back for her CRNA. She was having trouble finding a job as ANP and was debating Family NP or CRNA. With critical care experience and more $ to...

  15. Question about FNP's in womens health

    MommyandRN replied to sweet_baby_RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There's always a post-masters certificate ... you could do FNP, and if you aren't finding a job in ob/gyn, get a WHNP post masters cert., pass the boards and be both. A lot of work but just a...

  16. FNP vs ANP

    MommyandRN replied to BeeGeeRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you don't want to see peds at all, then just go with adult. I think if you want to see women's health type of pts, you would need family. I'm not sure though. Adult would be the way to go if you...

  17. Thinking about NP school

    MommyandRN replied to FoundAndy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    From experience, an adult acute care NP needs more of a critical care or tele background, and works in hospitals or higher acuity areas. A Family NP treats all ages and can work in a wide variety of...

    MommyandRN posted a topic in Western Governors University

  19. Don't like the robo-calls

    MommyandRN replied to MommyandRN's topic in Western Governors University

  20. Reactions to being a NP

    MommyandRN replied to orangepink's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    When I was applying to FNP programs 5 years ago, I got the opposite reaction. People saying "why would you do that, they don't make enough $. Become a CRNA

    MommyandRN replied to mmcc26's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  22. WGU won't accept per diem nurses

    MommyandRN replied to MommyandRN's topic in Western Governors University

  25. WGU won't accept per diem nurses

    MommyandRN replied to MommyandRN's topic in Western Governors University

    Oh, this info is accurate. I was told both over the phone and in an official e-mail. What happens if you quit your full time job? I guess it doesn't matter. Just that you are PT or FT when you are...
