  1. NP vs MD and other discussions...

    SFDRN replied to ivyleaf's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with the posters who say that if you really want the prestige, title, and the more in-depth knowledge of basic science, definitely go the medical school route. I can say that as a second-year...

  2. ACNP without research, theory, etc

    SFDRN replied to 8mpg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Juan and NPreform, I could not agree with you more. We need comprehensive ACNP education reform that actually reflects what ACNP's do on a day-to-day basis. I have suffered through one year of ACNP...

  3. experienced nurse with anxiety on the job

    SFDRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Dear colleagues, I was searching for pre-existing threads that I could contribute to, but only found ones written by nursing students. I, too, have performance anxiety at work, especially starting...

  4. experienced nurse with anxiety on the job

    SFDRN replied to SFDRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, you guys are fantastic! Thank you for all your helpful and supportive comments! It is so reassuring to hear people say that they still struggle with skills 15-20 years out of school. Hearing...

  5. Nurse Residency Programs

    SFDRN replied to Jump_Nurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh, I didn't know that. Maybe that's a new rule or something. Anyway, ask me specific questions and I will try to answer

  6. Nurse Residency Programs

    SFDRN replied to Jump_Nurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    ASU Student Nurse, Pls private message me your specific questions about the residency program. I'm happy to answer questions, but I'd rather speak to specific points than generalities. Thanks,

  7. is this a dumb idea?

    SFDRN replied to picurn10's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I currently work nights on a telemetry floor as a newish (6 months experience) grad... I tried to do the 3 nights in a row schedule for a few months, it wore me out and left me exhausted for at least...

  8. Nurse Residency Programs

    SFDRN replied to Jump_Nurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm at UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center for their one-year new grad RN residency

  9. Reality Shock!!!! Please answer a few questions about when you were a new nurse!

    SFDRN replied to LoveActually's topic in General Nursing

    1. How long have you been a nurse? Less than 1 year 2. What type of school(s) did you go to? BSN Care to share your school(s)? 3. Did you have any experience working in a hospital before becoming an...

  10. UCLA new grad training program completion rate

    SFDRN replied to gretchn1234's topic in California Nursing

    This can't be right. Maybe what she heard was that they have 10% turnover among new grads in the first 6-12 months. That would make much more sense and actually reflects very well on their new grad...

  11. Does UCLA cover relocation costs?

    SFDRN replied to malaski's topic in California Nursing

    Also, FYI, relocating to LA is pretty cheap right now. I just moved here two weeks ago and found a 1 bedroom in Santa Monica for $1500 with a $500 security deposit. There are a lot of deals like...

  12. Does UCLA cover relocation costs?

    SFDRN replied to malaski's topic in California Nursing

    For new grads, they will cover up to $1500 in relocation costs in your name only. (Meaning, the receipts must bear your name, not someone

  13. End renal failure Nursing Diagnosis Help!!!

    SFDRN replied to CSNS's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How about "impaired urinary elimination r/t chronic renal disease

  14. 12 hour shifts for students AND Med. school

    SFDRN replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    They instituted 12 hour med-surg clinicals at my BSN school this semester, too. We'll see how it goes. My first one is next Tuesday. I don't know how your school can accept D- as a passing grade,...

  15. Is There An AllDoctors.com?

    SFDRN replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for pointing out that many RN students complain and gripe about the curriculum, which is SUPPOSED to be difficult, given the immense responsibility that practicing RNs have. It bothers me...

  16. Is newyork reaching out to Nursing

    SFDRN replied to vivicaq's topic in General Nursing

    Woops! I missed the pub date, too. Gosh, I feel dumb now!

  17. Is newyork reaching out to Nursing

    SFDRN replied to vivicaq's topic in General Nursing

    This article is totally weird. The numbers do not at all match up. What RN in NYC only makes $19K/yr? CNA's probably make more than this. Also, the housing one-bedroom units are going to be sold...

  18. Nursing School vs. Pharmacy School

    SFDRN replied to Pumpkin1621's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm about to enter an accelerated nursing program in the fall, but I thought I would weigh in here because 3 of my parents/step-parents are/have been pharmacists. My mom, for instance, has a really...

  19. NYU Accelerated Program Applicants?

    SFDRN replied to Jegra's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm starting the 15 month accelerated program at NYU this fall,

  20. Food And Nutrition Spring 2007

    SFDRN replied to bblair's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anyone interested in selling their nutrition book? My online summer class is using Nutrition: Concepts & Controversies, 10th Edition, by Frances Sizer. PM me if you're interested in selling....

  21. Master Entry Clinical Nurse vs. Master Entry NP

    SFDRN replied to lizcakes's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Lizcakes, The distinction between the two, as I understand it, is that a Master's prepared Clinical Nurse is on track to work as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in hospital, nursing home, or ambulatory...

  22. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    SFDRN replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    So after posting yesterday, I finally did receive my letter. I'm Alternate #3 for the Gerontological specialty. It's probably pretty unlikely that 3 Gero people will drop out, so I guess I'm back to...

  23. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    SFDRN replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Anyone else on the East Coast still waiting for their letter from UCSF? I can't believe it takes so long for mail delivery from CA! I keep saying, "maybe today...?" and then I get home and nothing!...

  24. How do you feel about volunteers?

    SFDRN replied to capribry's topic in General Nursing

    I have had similar experiences at the hospital where I am volunteering right now. The nurse manager runs around all the time and seems really busy and always has a little project for me when she sees...
