   LiberatedRN replied to dlyr750's topic in Georgia Nursing

   LiberatedRN replied to g3momma's topic in Post Graduate Students

   Actually sailornurse, you are incorrect. I am working towards the nurse clinician educator and I had to take the same three core courses you listed right along with the NP students. I can still be an...

4. utep acnp 2012 applicants

   LiberatedRN replied to g3momma's topic in Post Graduate Students

   The core courses were not that easy for me but I still do maintain a 4.0 after taking 18 credits. It's really a lot of research and APA format paper writing. If you have that down, you will be fine....

5. Why do mean/crabby people become nurses??

   LiberatedRN replied to R!XTER's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

8. Supervising a coworker with the same amount of experience

   LiberatedRN replied to luckynurse_1234's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I agree with sofl98, you probably need to be a little more assertive as a charge nurse. I became charge after only being a nurse for 1 year and it can be a scary thing. But now, 13 years later (and...

   I work in Cardiac Telemetry in South Florida. We get 1:5 or 1:6 on day shift and 1:6 or 1:7 max on nights. I work days and 1:5 on some days is way too much for heart failure patients with average age...

10. Managing stress during shift

    LiberatedRN replied to charlie8025's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I am in total agreement with this! Staffing is not our job and we should not be made to feel guilty about not working when we are over-stressed. I am currently on a leave of absence right now because...
