Yes, you are all over the place! And you have done the right thing. Find what makes you happy and go on your own path. The medical system and nursing as well is in such a different direction than years ago. ( I am an old retired nurse). It is sad to...

Hi Kali Rn, I have both an RN and Esthetics license. You need to check also with your Board of Cosmetology in your State to see if you are covered. You may be covered in a Medical Office with your Nursing license, but if you practice in a Spa sett...

I just retired a few years ago after 25 years as a nurse. Excellent suggestions and support in all the posts above. I would like to add that in addition to making nursing your passion ( it already is for you as you are in your first year journey) you...

First. you need to look into your State Boards for Nursing and Cosmetology. In many States to practice as an aesthetician, you need to go to an approved Cosmetology school for a separate aesthetician license. So, do not assume your Nursing license wi...

Dear MA Nurse, I will defer to the above discussions about coping with the stress while at work. I am retired after 30 years in nursing. I would like to address another issue... What are you doing outside of work to nurture yourself? When in a hi...

Hi Stephanie, To be on the safe side, check directly with your state's Board of Cosmetology to clarify if you are exempt. State Boards vary and if you had a salon it would be inspected by Cosmetology board of your state. Years ago , I had to get an A...

Thanks so much for the info. I looked at the course and it is just what I am looking for! Very appreciated!

I am looking for online courses that offer for nursing Ceus, in Ayurveda nursing, health, nutrition etc. Does anyone know of a resource online? Appreciate any assistance with this as I am very interested in the topic.

Unless your goal is advanced practice, office nursing is very difficult to find for an RN. I spent the majority of my career in office nursing, and it is a wonderful experience. They can bill insurance for NP's but not RNs. You may want to rethink t...

Is anyone doing an MSN in Nursing online through Grand Canyon University?

The psychiatric nurse role is sometimes perceived as a easy specialty. I would like to invite psychiatric nurses to give examples of the types of cases that we see in our outpatient clinic, emergency services office, and inpatient units ..............

Well from this old nurse's point of view, it costs the administration more with constant turnover rates,than if they hired us crusty old bats....

First, consider going back with a new attitude. The dialysis job was a problem because you were expected to zoom right into a role that you were not ready for, and trained by experienced but not licensed staff you would be in charge of. I am 2 years...

The point is, no one should put up with her. If they stay and put up with it, that is their issue. You need to really ask yourself, why put in all this worry if you can not change the situation. Move on and cut loose, or your revolving thoughts about...

I am in a fog with your story. If the manager is easy to deal with, remind him of your request and take the time off. The issue is a management problem, allowing this individual to run things even with her "expert knowledge" of the doctors office/ins...

Yes, consider a NP with a concentration in Child/Adolescent psych. Then join an emergency services team. Outpatient is a challenge, but rewarding. Many areas would welcome the Child/Adolescent psych NP specialist. As to the current workplace, depart ...

Congratulations and best wishes with the new job!

Take a look at exercise dvds, there are so many available and they can keep you in shape until you have time to run again. I use many dvds by Gilad (Bodies in Motion with Gilad). His Express workout dvd gives you many options as the segments are abou...

Is there a link with info on this program? I could not find info on the Duke University SON site. Thank you ....

ruby vee said= i'm not angry at nurses who choose to leave the bedside -- i just think that with the education model we have for nurse practitioners, they need to actually be at the bedside for awhile before going through an np program. you canno...

A good watch, I have a Flight chrono from Fossil. Another backup watch just in case, a smaller Fossil watch. A nursing handbook in the specialty, a pocket flashlight (had the lights go out in clinic while the MD was suturing a face wound, have alway...

You have rights, contact a good lawyer who can advise you appropriately. Very sorry that you are in this situation, astounding that HR is not responding correctly. That is especially why you need a lawyer.

Stay strong, retake the test and best wishes. You can do it! Just keep postive and keep dancing! (Dancing helps your spirits to keep positive :) )

I refused a job in a plastic surgery office as an RN due to the upsell focus of that practice. If your heart is in working in plastic surgery, look before you leap. The same practice was cited by the state and the surgeon is no longer licensed and ...

Rule: In Blizzard conditions, you call the pediatric office demanding an appointment immediately for your child who has been ill(non emergency) for the last 5 days. Your request came into the office 15 minutes prior to our office closing. We advi...
