Hi Everyone. I'm looking for any ideas I can my hands on to eventually get away from the bedside. I have been a nurse for 10 years with the majority in Emergency Nursing. What kind of ideas are out there for people starting their own businesses? I...

I'm not an NP, but I'm toying with the idea. I do, however, work (or have worked in the past) with NP's working as staff RN's. You're still an RN, right?? So I don't think there would be too many hospitals not willing to hire a per diem RN due to b...

Hi Everyone. Is anybody out there able to tll me what kind of education I need in order to teach, for example, clinical instructor (if I decided) or Nurse Educator. Do I need to have a Master's Degree in Education, or is it possible to have a Mast...

I found an online program in Emergency Nursing and Disaster Management which sounds pretty interesting. That's what triggered my interest of persuing my Graduate Degree. My question is....what do you do with a degree in that?? That's a lot of $$$ ...

NURSING.ADELPHI.EDU Then click on Graduate programs, you'll see it listed. The only downfall if you live out of state is that they require you to attend class 3-4 times a semester. But there are other programs out there as well. Hopefully cheaper too...

All that is 'just off the top of your head'. Geeeezzz!! You've got a lot going on up there in that head of yours. Thank you soooo much for all the useful info. How do people get jobs teaching online courses? Do you just apply online? What kind ...

Any suggestions for getting over this public speaking fear that I have. I've been told I'm a really good teacher (which is usually one on one), but even though I have considered teaching I still have a fear of being the center of attention. Surpris...

You guys are the best! I only joined this forum a few days ago after stumbling across it accidentally. I am so glad I did. You all have some really great advice, and you can never hear too much of that. I'm open to hear any additional advice, but...

That's something I would never have thought of. Not a bad idea. Thanks, Jeremy!

Yes. I use humor all the time. You just need to know who your audience is first, or you could be found offensive.

We are important because we need to take all the abuse from the patients, so that way they can be nice to the doctors who are the ones who made them wait so long in the first place. Did I mention I work in an ER??

A what??? What's a break???

A Littman Stethescope. I love them, and he'll be able to use it in any field of nursing he chooses. I wouldn't want anyone to pick out uniforms/shoes for me. I'm way too picky, but he may appreciate that idea too. Gift certificate is a good idea ...

Calzuro's. I have always been most comfortable in Calzuro clogs, and they last forever. I love them!!

Having another Bachelor's Degree may not be a bad idea. There are some hospitals that will not hire you without one. Other hospitals are beginning to phase out hiring new nurses with only an Associate Degree or Diploma. There are a lot of schools tha...

Hi. I don't have any information or insight on the schools other than Farmingdale. That's where I went. I think it was a good school. My classroom and clinical instructors were good. Some better than others, as you will find anywhere, but overal...

Hi. I used to work in a very busy interventional Cath Lab and I loved it!! I had ER experience prior to this. It's very different and you will learn so much. Depending on where you work may differ in job descripions. Most hospitals near me have ...

Hi Everyone. I'm looking for some career advice. I have been a nurse for ten years, and I currently work in a busy Emergency Dept, which is fine for now, but I don't want to be doing this 10-20 years from now. I have my BSN and am contemplating m...

I started my nursing career in the ER and don't think I would have wanted to start anywhere else. If I'd started on MedSurg I think I would have quit forever. I began in a smaller community hospital and eventually advanced to a busy Level 1 Trauma ...
