  1. Best online Masters in Nur Education?

    MommyandRN posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hi! I am wondering what are the best programs for a Masters in Nursing Education that are out there right now. If anyone has completed one recently or enrolled in one now?

  2. Chamberlain online FNP

    MommyandRN posted a topic in Chamberlain College

    Is anyone enrolled in the online FNP program at Chamberlain? I am interested in hearing anyone's experiences with the program.

  3. St Joseph's College of Maine FNP program students

    MommyandRN replied to LJames13's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Does anyone know what's going on with the SJCME FNP program? I was finally ready to apply but it says that they are not taking applications for the FNP program at this time. Is the program going to...

  4. Offered job but interview this week

    MommyandRN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hi. I have just been offered a job I would LOVE to accept. It's in a "dream" specialty of mine, but it is an hour away and the schedule would definitely interfere with my kids' schedules. I told the...

  5. Bullied nurse. I quit. :(

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

    Sounds like the unit I used to work in. I loved it there for a few years. I was on the council and attended meetings too. Had a lot of friends there (still friends with). But I applied in another...

  6. Thanks

    MommyandRN replied to Bortaz's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Good luck with your new job, Bortaz! I enjoyed reading your posts. Thank YOU for sharing your NICU knowledge. By the way, I read your other post too. I have also worked in a toxic unit and had to...

  7. Would you commute an hour to a job you wanted?

    MommyandRN replied to nursebythesea's topic in General Nursing

    What did you decide, @nursebythesea? I am in a similar position while job hunting. How far is too far for that dream job? I'm worried about falling asleep on the way home from night shift....

  8. Neonatal NP??

    MommyandRN replied to Road2CNO's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    See, this is what the problem is for me though. I would LOVE to go back to school for NNP. But I can not get hired in NICU without NICU experience. I have been applying for 7 years. I know that I...

  9. Why do aspiring CRNAs change their goals?

    MommyandRN replied to TU RN's topic in General Nursing

    Because at first I would have had to take the GRE or MAT, and hated studying for those tests and never scheduled either. Because I waited too long to go back to school. Because I had kids. Because...

  10. BLS instructor

    MommyandRN posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'm wondering if there are BLS instructors who are also nursing educators? I have wanted to become a BLS instructor for a while, and looking into MSN education. And feel like they would go well...

  11. WGU won't accept per diem nurses

    MommyandRN posted a topic in Western Governors University

    FYI to everyone since it is not stated on their website: WGU does not accept RNs employed per diem. It only states on their admission requirements on the website that the RN must be employed in a...

  12. Bullying like I am back in middle school

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

    I've been there, done that. Bullying is widespread in nursing. At one job, it was okay for a while for me, while everyone else complained about it. Then I spoke up about something I didn't think...

  13. Co-worker asked how much I make an hour

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

    Although it is inappropriate to ask this, it's usually not confidential what new grads make at a facility. She could have called HR and asked herself. IT should be the same exact rate for all new...

  14. Transitioning to L&D after med-surg

    MommyandRN replied to danik's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I went into a broader general area after school but IMHO I think you should specialize right away if that's what you want. I have found it difficult to transfer into another specialty. I see new...

  15. Failed the pre-employment talent screening test

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

    I suspect I don't get calls for some jobs because of these personality tests. I think I always answer them okay. But when I don't even get called in for an interview, it makes me wonder. I guess my...

  16. Why is Pit started on spontaneous labor?

    MommyandRN replied to Katie71275's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree it's overused. With my own children, it was needed for two of them (induction). However, with the one pregnancy I arrived at 6 cm after laboring at home. They put me on pit bc the one...

  17. Nitrous Oxide use may come back to the US for labor pain management!!

    MommyandRN replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, I agree with above. The reason it went away? Probably because the patients were brainwashed by the medical community that epidurals and pharmaceuticals were the way to go. No profits mean no...

  18. Would you commute an hour to a job you wanted?

    MommyandRN replied to nursebythesea's topic in General Nursing

  19. How did you get into NICU nursing?

    MommyandRN replied to pixie6089's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm another one with adult experience. Critical care. It's frustrating to not be able to be hired in this area with so much experience. ... I would LOVE to work in a nursery. I've been

  20. Repeated Tries x 5 to Enter L/D field--Still applying Suggestions

    MommyandRN replied to SINGMAGGIE-RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have a ton of experience with adults too, and have been applying for a few years years. Took AWHONN fetal monitoring course and a breastfeeding course. No jobs. I really think I might walk into a...

  21. Newly Qualified RN - and already want out?

    MommyandRN replied to rose_11's topic in Nursing Career

    I've been there and have felt the same way. Multiple times over the years. But I say you don't have to leave nursing. Not every nursing job is 12 hour night shifts on holidays. Also, of those that...

  22. Nursing jobs that primarily involve teaching your patients...?

    MommyandRN replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Nursing

    Mother/Baby - breastfeeding support, newborn

  23. My interview at a Hospital with the lions

    MommyandRN replied to garn12's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I actually got up and left an interview like that. My interview with the manager went well. But then I was sat down for a peer interview with three RNs. One of them was nice, but the other two were...

  24. MSN worth the student loans?

    MommyandRN posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I have debating getting my MSN for a long time now. In fact, I enrolled in one but then backed out. And I'm thinking about it again, but I'm in my late 30s. I know I am determined enough to do the...

  25. NP school + full time job + family...Is it doable?

    MommyandRN replied to ambi_dextrose's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think it's doable. Did you ask your present job to go down to part time and they said no? What about going on interviews for PT and NOT telling them that you are in a NP program? As for the 3 year...
