Hi, I've been working on the floor for 6 weeks now and I'm still trying to fine tune my discharge documentation so far it goes something like this: 40yr old male presents to ED with HA, N/V, Chest Pain. Hx: none Allegies: NKA medications taken PTA: p...

Question. Do you have a spouse, not in the medical field, that tells you how you should do your job as a nurse practitioner? My wife tells me I shouldn't be asking my patients if they do illicit drugs, and if they do illicit drugs, I shouldn't be tel...

Yes, I meant a_.s._s. My wife thinks I sound condescending because I talk about my day with emotion. In all honesty, if I were my wife's provider, she would be my PITA patient. I had to pull up the NIH NIDA website about "Talking to Patients about th...

For those of you that do get into the the GWC nursing program and would like a head start, the nursing theory model that GWC uses for the program is the Roy Adaptation Model. If you can get a book from the outgoing students that would be good as the...

all nursing positions for the VA are posted on USAJOBS.gov. If you have your BSN, SCI at the Long Beach VA is always looking for nurses. Of course, it's the hardest job in the hospital working in SCI, but you learn a lot and it's the foot in the door...

Most acute-care hospitals these days are now only hiring BSN RNs. If you need a job now, look into long term care, SNF, Sub-acute, long term acute care. Try the VA and talk to your nurse manager in the unit you used to work in. See if any medical gr...

Hi Students, I graduated from APU's online accelerated BSN program back in 2012. I have the books from the program I no longer have any use for. It's too much of a hassle for me to sell them, and the editions are quite dated but still relevant. ...

Hi, when I applied on my 4th application, it was automatic entry. At the time, GWC was a lottery based system, no points that I can recall. This was back in January 2007. I had a classmate and we applied at the same time for the Spring 2005 entry, he...

Hi students! I graduated from the GWC Nursing program in December 2008. I have a ton of books from the program that I'd like to unload that are still very relevant. The fundamentals of nursing have not changed. I live in Westminster fairly close...

Hi, I'm a cardiac NP. I would say, if you wanted more options in your career, become an NP. I work with three interventional cardiologists and a heart failure specialist. Prior to that I did a year of family medicine. Was 11 years as a bedside RN doi...

The last day in my bedside nursing position was on 2/14/2020 before this whole situation unfolded. I now work in an outpatient clinic as a cardiology provider. The unit I left was a 30 bed spinal cord injury unit. It has since been converted to a med...

So what will happen to me come Jan 1, 2020? I'm not sure if my doctor follows this. Do I have to tell him he has to hire me as a W2 employee? What happens to me if I keep working as 1099?

I'm a 1099 employee that works 2 days a week in a primary care clinic as a Nurse Practitioner. So, starting Jan 1, I can no longer work in my clinic if my doctor doesn't hire me as a W2 employee? This would really suck.

I live in Orange County, CA and my inbox is always filled with positions for FNPs at various clinics in and around the LA and Orange County areas. For a person without a job, these would be great opportunities. I always get requests for locum tenens ...

Schedules are done on a biweekly basis, not weekly. You can place your days wherever you want as long you complete the 80 hours in the 2 week period. The manager puts out the final schedule based on your requests. You won't always get the days you w...

I work at the VA in Long Beach as an RN. 7+ years, currently making over $100k. It depends on your lifestyle and where you choose to live. The pay is pretty good compared to the cost of living. I live in Orange County near the beach, so cost of housi...

I was talking to my nurse manager to here at the Long Beach VA Hospital about the NPSB. She sits on the NPSB board here and she informed me that they are getting rid of the board starting in August. Meaning that a board will no longer vote on promoti...

I just want to let everyone know that the Long Beach VA Hospital is hiring RNs. Our new nurse executive has dropped the 1 year experience requirement, so the doors are wide open. There is no "new grad" program. Training is on the unit of hire with se...

I understand this frustration about writing my own proficiency for promotion as well. And it's that time of year again that I dread where my manager asks for my proficiency. I finally got my Nurse II after 5 years at the VA. I understand that some nu...

Hi sbonve1, You can't practice medicine until you match with a residency program. Good luck in matching. By the way, this is a nursing forum. Not many nurses would probably know the answer to this question. I've been reading stories recently about n...

if you are a veteran, apply to the VA Hospital in San Diego. They give preference to Veterans over civilian applicants. Also, if you are currently a reservist, think about the Navy Nurse Corp. Also look into the Naval Medical Center as well. I have c...

The Long Beach VA is always hiring experienced ICU nurses. See job posting here: https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/457259500/ Start early if you decide to apply to the VA. Federal government HR is notoriously slow in the hiring process. Als...

Just apply To the unit of your choice. HowEver, the unit that is always hiring is Spinal Cord Injury. HR hasn't updated. We have a fresh new grad that got hired to our unit, she didn't see the 1 year requirement but got hired and the said the 1 year ...

Have you looked at Charles Drew's MSN-FNP program? It's accredited and has a really high pass rate on the FNP boards. It's accelerated at 16 months. I'm almost done and it's been a great program. Tuition is high, but probably not as expensive as USC.

Have you tried all the providers in your clinical note entry program (Typhon, e-medley)? I remember I cried my 2nd semester of NP school because I couldn't find a preceptor for primary care adult. 3rd semester I had to find OB/Women's Health and Peds...
