    Does abortion play a role?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Jen_Loves_Nursing's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    There are people who are against abortion and not religious. Just saying...it isn't always about God. I haven't been inside a church in 4 years. I may never see the inside of a church again. My...

    Does abortion play a role?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Jen_Loves_Nursing's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I, and many of my coworkers, never participated in terminations where life was a possibility. If a woman was making a choice to end a pregnancy that could be viable...there were nurses willing to take...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Jen_Loves_Nursing's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Well at least I point out that yes you can work OB while not okay with abortions. Catty

    Does abortion play a role?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Jen_Loves_Nursing's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    And this assumption provides what to the conversation? I'm very much against abortion and very much for social programs and the death penalty (in certain situations). Oh...and I worked OB without any...

    How many clinical sites?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Yuppers21's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It will depend on your program. I'm doing a primary peds. We need a new site every quarter. They have allowed individuals to stay at a site twice...but that was it. You might hear some schools will...

    Simmons University School of Nursing FNP online program

    IrishIzCPNP replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was in a similar situation when I started my NP program. My unit believed they should be priority #1. They would not ensure I had off the one day each week I had class. They said they would try to...

    Which is better Pediatric NP or Family NP?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to camar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    For "a day in the life"...you need to shadow and then know it can be completely different for another NP. Job market...can make arguments either way. I went peds because I only want peds. I made...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to BirkieGirl's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I can tell you I have 4 classes with clinicals and 99.9% of my clinical time has had to be during the week and during the day. There were no other options. So working a "normal" job can be almost...

    NPs working with chiropractors

    IrishIzCPNP replied to mystcnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You had bad ones. That's something you see in anything. My husband found out about his issues because the chiro pushed for imaging. I know I have nerve issues. My chiro does too. I'm not doing...

    PNP versus FNp. Drexel?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to sab7169's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm doing a PNP. I never want to work with adults. It's simple. The FNP at Drexel is 10 weeks of peds clinicals. That's it. That's not a lot. I'll be honest as a parent...my children don't see my...

    NICU vs MedSurg

    IrishIzCPNP replied to migo1234's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you want NICU...do it. But if you sit there and think "I don't want to do babies" or "and ICU setting isn't for me" then don't do it. There's no harm in going right into a specialty...if that...

    NPs working with chiropractors

    IrishIzCPNP replied to mystcnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I love my chiropractor. She had fixed what "modern medicine" hasn't been able to fix. She is quick to refer if she feels there are issues beyond chiro care. Chiropractic care is reasonable and...

    Can an employer ask?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to UFEDRN's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I had to provide all that recently for a clinical site. I am treated like an employee when it comes to that stuff. I had to get a physical by their emoter health PA. I really didn't like it at all....

    Yeah my IBCLC was hardly a few hundred bucks and a simple test! It was countless hours of education and hands on experience. If I ignore what I had already obtained with my RN the IBCLC still cost...

    How helpful/important is it to work as a CNA before going to nursing school?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to ReadyToListen's topic in General Students

    Eh...lots of people come in slightly awkward and you get over that pretty quickly. You don't need to take on a job just for that...especially when the bed habits can be an issue, there are other...

    How helpful/important is it to work as a CNA before going to nursing school?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to ReadyToListen's topic in General Students

    I'll tell you what...you really couldn't tell who was a CNA and who wasn't when I went for my RN. I know somebody who has seen CNAs in their program struggle with doing things correctly because they...

    NICU nurse becoming a Lactation Consultant?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Mindylane's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm a former L&D RN and also an IBCLC. I did pathway 1 and had the IBCLCs at the hospital sign off on my hours. I used Lactation Education Resourced to get the ed hours. I had almost all that I...

    Does abortion play a role?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Jen_Loves_Nursing's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    There's no issue for the most part. I don't believe in abortion and won't take part in one. I work L&D for many years with many nurses who wouldn't participate in terminations. There are lots of...

    About to pull trigger, am I making the right career choice?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to mtg0884's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think in many cases school name doesn't matter. There will be times it does but it doesn't mean that those who didn't go to x school won't get a job. I recently heard somebody make a point that...
