  6. Live the dream or Crush the dream

    I hope this message receives you well. I don't see any reason you cannot pursue a career in midwifery. Just check the college rules for whatever program you want to see if they consider the overall GPA or just the nursing course GPA. I have seen m...
  7. Anyone in Advanced Patho?

    I just finished advanced patho last week and thank God the professor offered a blueprint of her tests prior to each one. Got an "A". I always feel like I dont have the brain capacity to try to absorb all of that information to be competent enough t...

  9. FNP vs AGNP?

    Im currently in an AGNP program for primary care and I made up my mind I never want to work with children. If you scour most job listings as I do, you'll see that most jobs dont even specify what type of NP that you are. Of course if you choose to ...

  12. DNP seems like a waste...

    My DNP program has 1000 hour requirements for the BSN-DNP. The curriculum is a strong mix of patho, anatomy, pharm, theory and caring. I believe it depends on the school. Researching your options is key.
  13. A better model for the DNP

    Im in my first semester with Florida Atlantic University's BSN-DNP program. This program award the MSN degree midway and you can sit for your boards. I work full time - plus overtime, so four days a week and have a husband and two year old son. It...

    My 92 year old patient wanted a female citing ,"I'm just old fashioned". Im a woman and I find it to be annoying at times because my Icu has a lot of males and a male tech. I was the only female that night and couldn't call the boys for help rollin...

  18. Not Excited About Becoming FNP

    I just got accepted into a DNP program for my adult gerontological primary care np , and I too am a little skeptical. The pay increase didn't seem too different from what I'm doing now working overtime in ICU. I love bedside nursing, and have my of...
  19. A Day in the life of an ICU nurse?

    I can tell you work psych because you seem more interested in the psychological aspects of icu nursing rather than the actual application (which is cool.) ICU nursing requires a high level of independent thought, especially in specialty icus like ne...

  22. dementia pt/wants out

    You need to stop them without hurting yourself or them..but dont just look daffy and let them go. A hospital I float to lost a patient that way, and ended up in the canal face down dead.
  23. Personal info was shared -HIPPA violation?

    Well....mama always said I was a terrible speller. :)
  24. Whats your specialty?What are the Pros and Cons

    Critical Care Pro : autonomy, 1 or 2 patients, the sense of using your brain at maximum capacity to solve issues, there is an unspoken respect given to icu nurses and er nurses which I make sure to return. (peds,onc,ld,rehab,medsurg,medical,tele,nic...
  25. Both. Can you imagine that person formally writing nursing papers? Is English a second language? What a pickle. Perhaps further investigation into the student and their qualifications will yield better results than that email. Ps : plummeted?! Lol.
