  1. Cheapest Psych NP Program?

    ktliz replied to resilientnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't think it's quite that expensive! If you are a member of the ANA, they offer a discount. It's about $600/credit for online. Still not pocket change but not too shabby either. Not that I am...

  2. Cheapest Psych NP Program?

    ktliz replied to resilientnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No, I was accepted to their accelerated BSN program, but am attending a different school instead. I know several Drexel nursing students and grads though (all BSN). I plan on continuing on to become a...

  3. Cheapest Psych NP Program?

    ktliz replied to resilientnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just curious... why not

  4. Which one do you feed?

    ktliz replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Great story, thank you! Although, TDFIMedicRN-- I disagree. It may be hard to ignore the hungry wolf in the beginning, but in time, it grows quieter and weaker, until you hardly notice its presence at...

  5. Nonscience nursing degree???

    ktliz replied to O.Nato's topic in General Nursing

    If it says "degree," I would assume that's what it is, e.g. an associate's degree. But, this question is probably best answered by the particular institution offering the

  6. Deciding on my first Nursing Job

    ktliz replied to NurseNancy88's topic in General Nursing

    Residency isn't always all its cracked up to be. I would take normal orientation in a supportive work environment over a residency in a crappy work environment. You are so lucky to have 2 good job...

  7. War is coming, the lines have been drawn!

    ktliz replied to outptsurgeryrn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    ScottE... brilliant. I watched the whole

  8. RN license in more than one state? NCLEX in New York applicable to any state?

    ktliz replied to Laurenslovely's topic in California Nursing

    Thankfully, boards are not like the bar exam.... the NCLEX is the same in all states. You only need to pass it once. When you need a license in a different state, you provide them with all the...

  9. NP to MD

    ktliz replied to kimkubick's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If there were 28-30 hours in a day, I would go to med school in an instant. Circadian rhythms being what they are, however, I chose nursing. :) This may be slightly off-topic, but I recently read an...

  10. OB... L&D.... what's the difference???

    ktliz replied to Sl1011's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I get the impression that L&D is the most sought-after OB position. There might not be as many applicants for antepartum, postpartum, etc., and therefore they are willing to consider those without...

  11. which career path to take

    ktliz replied to futurenurseOB's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I look at it this way--if you want to devote your life to medicine, go to medical school. If medicine isn't the most important thing in your life, then don't! If you want to work as an advanced...

  12. nclex nightmare

    ktliz replied to kolagirl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Do you think test anxiety has anything to do with

  13. New to med field and Afraid of the unknown

    ktliz replied to AngelsRnurses's topic in General Nursing

    The first time I started nursing school, I attended the first day of class, and a huge wave of self-doubt came over me--I dropped out. Now, 2 years later, I am again enrolled in nursing school (with...

  14. Does your facility hire new grads into L & D?

    ktliz replied to javawren_23's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry, onaclearday, but I don't think it's appropriate to compare new graduate RNs to

  15. Do you really remember half the stuff from nursing school?

    ktliz replied to FRESH_90's topic in General Nursing

    As a nursing student, this is what I can tell you: Will there be times when you are required to learn massive amounts of very detailed information? Yes. Nutrition is one of the worst in my opinion,...

  16. Can't sleep. Ever. And I'm getting fat.

    ktliz replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    No need to jog right off the bat. Walking is great exercise too. :) But, since you do have a heart condition, definitely check with your primary care provider about an appropriate exercise routine...

  17. Help with PRN medications

    ktliz replied to belle005's topic in Patient Medications

    Tait-- I enjoyed reading your reply, and I like how you intersperse your remarks in with the OPs questions. However, the combo of red and italics was pretty hard on my eyes. Maybe you can de-italicize...

  18. Saw my first dead body in the hospital

    ktliz replied to NurseAndLovinIt's topic in General Nursing

    I'm only in my first semester of clinicals, and don't have any personal experience with death. However, I DO have experience with the kind of feeling you are describing. I've struggled with anxiety...

  19. When did you decide nursing was for you?

    ktliz replied to pishoncna's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, reading others' experiences is nice, but you have to remember that everyone is different. Some people "just know," but not everybody. I'm in an accelerated nursing program designed for...

  20. HIPAA Violation-Jane Doe

    ktliz replied to rescugirl's topic in General Nursing

    If you truly think there was something fishy going on re: the hospital using the incident to "clean house," I wouldn't worry about the impact on future employment. If they just wanted you gone for...

  21. Thoughts on improving caring

    ktliz replied to mstev001's topic in General Nursing

    maybe you can find something on Jean Watson's website?

  22. To the cynical nurse

    ktliz replied to EDrunnerRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't understand why it has to be an either/or. Why not just give people the benefit of the doubt while at the same time keeping your radar up. It is possible to be caring and smart at the same...

  23. OT or Mental Health NP?

    ktliz replied to Sthere's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, also... since most NPs work in primary care, I think they have more of a regular, M-F/9-5 schedule, as opposed to the crazy hours required for bedside

  24. OT or Mental Health NP?

    ktliz replied to Sthere's topic in General Nursing

    I considered OT too. The OTs I worked with recommended the career highly and encouraged me to pursue it. The job market is definitely better due to few programs being available. But, in the end...I...

  25. Why can't I let go?

    ktliz replied to KaksRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ahh, gotcha. If it makes you feel any better, "goodbye" doesn't have to be forever. :) I know at my old workplace, people came and went all the time. If you are still missing the place 6 months from...
