    Did anyone hate nursing school?

    yellow finch replied to FNPhopeful's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well thanks. In the whole scheme of things, nursing school really wasn't the horrendous experience so many here have stated. I wanted to become a nurse, I went through the required education, and now...

    yellow finch replied to MERCEDES674's topic in Post Graduate Students

    So out of curiosity, did a pay raise come along with this requirement for a doctorate degree?? I understand that those already certified to practice probably got grandfathered in, but are they going...

    Totally online FNP program: no campus orientation

    yellow finch replied to MERCEDES674's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Are the requirements changing for PTs as well? I know that they changed over the years to a master's level education in order to practice. Are they moving onto doctorates as well? Or are her interests...

    Totally online FNP program: no campus orientation

    yellow finch replied to MERCEDES674's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm not familiar with the Vanderbilt program or any other DE focus. All I know is that online programs are not all evil as you probably know from personal experience. You're going to get all sorts of...

    yellow finch replied to MERCEDES674's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Sounds like one of the many direct entry programs out there encouraging people to enter mid-level practice. You can find plenty of discussions on this topic around allnurses along with the opinions of...

    Totally online FNP program: no campus orientation

    yellow finch replied to MERCEDES674's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The educational requirements are the same for online students as they are for those who attend class in person. The delivery of the information is the only difference. Clinicals are done with NPs or...

    Did anyone hate nursing school?

    yellow finch replied to FNPhopeful's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow. I'm a little surprised by all the negative opinions on nursing school. While I won't lie and say that everyday was a bed of roses, I found my undergraduate experience to be challenging and...

    Non "floor nursing"

    yellow finch replied to KungFuFtr's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'll add a little something to the discussion (even though I'm a chick ). My nursing career started off as a tech for 1.5 years (while in school) on med-surg floors. I learned absolutely nothing...

    Personality question for the guys (and any gals who might have an opinion)

    yellow finch replied to phoenixfire's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm female and work with a former military male nurse who is also our charge nurse. He's straightforward and very respectful towards the rest of us who are female. However, he also knows (maybe from...

    Indiana State University requires you to find your own preceptors. This was difficult at first, but I finally realized that the key to securing one was to start early and stay on top of your search....

    RN to BSN programs in georgia

    yellow finch replied to Triple A's's topic in Georgia Nursing

    New grads don't have much of a problem entering any area as far as I can tell except for maybe PACU which requires ICU experience. L/D at Kennestone might be a little hard to get into because they...

    New ANCC credentials

    yellow finch replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Interesting. I've always wondered what all the different initials stood for. Do these rules apply to current practitioners or just ones who graduate after 1/1/08? Yeah... It would probably help if I...

    yellow finch replied to rnrnewgrad's topic in Nursing Career

    This is an interesting topic. While I don't see the OP returning to the thread, I do wonder if there is a double standard for men and women? I work with several male nurses who have visible tattoos on...

    yellow finch replied to yellow finch's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Good to hear! While I'm overall pleased with my FNP program, there have been a couple of mis-communications via email that make me wish I'd know ahead of time how unpleasant some of the instructors...
