What is so hard to understand? Nurses are supposed to care for people. PERIOD. If your religion keeps you from caring for people, if your religion makes you hesitate before helping someone, ya know, until you can look into his or her personal life......

exactly. AMEN. As usual, religious people misunderstand religious freedom to mean that they can subject others to THEIR beliefs. If you can't be true to your religion, and also take care of ALL people , no matter their private life, then you are FRE...

This place seems to be the best I've found for botox and filer training in the US: https://aestheticmedicaltraining.com/ it's $1,650, for a one day class, and you can get a video package to go along with it for $100. They have them all over the count...

Anne marie, Hello! I am an FNP, and have been doing a specialty for 5 years, but now wanting to get into Aesthetics, and thinking about taking a course in botox and fillers. it seems every job wants 1 year experience with injectables. Did the job yo...

I am looking into Aesthetic courses, and empire seems to have many bad reviews if you look at the better business bureau- BBB. they seem like a bit of a scam to me.
morganvibes replied to CatherineT's topic in General Nursing
it looks like a great course, lots of hands on. much better than others I've seen. it is pretty pricey, though. Did you take this in hopes of getting a job in aesthetics, or did you already have one? I would like to change my career path, and would l...
hi I am an ARNP, NP in the lucky position of having to decide between 2 job offers, of course it took 2 months of not knowing what I was going to do and getting a bit nervous before this happened. Ideally I wanted a position with another provider pre...
Hi, it was with a start up neuropathy clinic (see above post for more info) but ended up closing because of a problem getting medicare reimbursements for our procedure. Too bad too,because it really worked very well for people. I've been with another...
Oh Yes I will definitely give them a call when they are back on Friday. Im trying to get a bunch done while I'm off for a few days. i t will be nice to be free for another 5 years soon!
Hi I am renewing my certification for FNP with ANCC soon and am trying to find out if I can count my ACLS and PALS courses. It isnt clear on the website. These were my initial courses. They were certainly more involved and more difficult than any C...
Thank you Juan, that's good news! I was going to count 4 pharmacology credits for each 12 hour class, since that's all I need, but do you know if there is a standard for determining pharmacology credit? Thanks again!

On the GRE I got 90th percentile in verbal and 50th in math, thats all I remember, sorry dont remember a number, but I got in. Also agree with last poster, very expensive., and they don't use the money to get good preceptors, that is for sure, I thin...
Hi, I have been looking into Palliative Care as well and there are some people/MD's I've talked with that say your personality and desire to work in this field are the most important things, but then they also say it is necessary to have a very good...
Hi, sorry, it's disappointing for sure, but just get back up and get the next one scheduled and look on the bright side - you will rock it next time. I did well with the Fitzgerald study guide and cds, heard her voice in my sleep. I am a classic ove...
I am considering two very diverse positions and would like some input First- position- Wellness chiropractor owned clinic, owner feels strongly about holistic wellness, and is starting a medical branch. I would be working with a very nice MD to get...
Thanks, every little bit helps. I haven't seen any jobs just doing the face to face visits, but that does sound good. Its odd, but I cant seem to find any information regarding NP's who work at Hospice, though there are lots of great stories from RNs...
Hi Yes, I love doing the assessment. I have been doing mostly in home assessments since April and I love meeting people and being able to answer their questions and make sure they are being taken care of. There seems to be a lot of money to be made ...
Hello fellow NP's Yes, These chronic care assessment jobs can be good, but usually all companies will promise 6 mos or more of work and only have about 1-2, so be careful and don't quit a good job for this. SCAM ALERT: do not work for this company -...
Hi mystory, This is what happened. the lower stress job was nice, loved it, but since it was a start up in the area, it didnt work out (something to do with medicare reimbursements). So. The search goes on. They did reimburse me for my insurance, etc...
Hi I would apprecite opinions on this from other NP's, not sure if it is something worth drawing a line in the sand about, but let's just say, it irks me. Basically the question is: When you are hired as an NP, should you have to do more menial LPN, ...
