Lorelai22RN RN

Any 1 year full time NP programs that allow you to become and NP in a year.........I know of Vandy. Are any of these online with clinicals that you can set up in your hometown?

Hi everyone! I'm Lorelai, I have been a nurse for almost 9 months now. I work on a medsurg/tele unit. My one year mark will be in early June and I am really excited about it. Although I find that I am growing more comfortable and confident in my role...

Sleep. Not think bout work.............veg and catch up on tv. Exercise. But mostly sleep........:)

Um, I dont know who really thinks nursing is sexy. Any career with women in it, anyone might think of as sexy just because a woman is in it. Men being in nursing isnt considered sexy. Wiping someones cdiff backside isnt sexy to me.........or anyone I...

Do you miss it? Did you go back? Just wondering............

I am dedicated and if I choose to get my MSN and be and NP, I hope the training will be thorough and I wont be judged by the length of my program, by the time I will start in the fall, I will have been practicing as an RN for 2 years. The program I ...

Dont be so judgemental. Would you feel the same about accelerated BSN programs that are only a year? Also, Vanderbilt which is a great schools has NP programs that are a yearlong if you go full-time.....that is some faulty logic my friend, that you f...

Yep. I regret it. Should have studied english lit..........oh,well. It pays the bills, that part's good.

Well, if feel like you feel pretty comfortable with the material..everyone is different, so this may be enough time for you. I'd take a practice exam first and see where you stand, you may be more ready than you think! What program are you applying ...

BSN 2006 ANP 2008-2010 (start in Aug/08!!)

Hey!! I am going to start studying for the GRE Dec.1 and hopefully take it in February. I am trying to do some research on study tips......I do plan on getting some flashcards for the voc. words.....I plan on starting my NP program in Aug 08' so I go...

Hmm, I am wanting to go back to my med/tele unit and do my 3'12s on f,s,s and be off 4 days. I have a cushy desk job reviewing charts and I find it too boring and I hate work 8-5 M-F. I miss my 4 days off! I hate sitting all day!! I am PRN on my unit...

I was skimming through your past posts and it seems like you have been trying to decide which job to take for over 6 months!! These jobs sound good, I'm gonna come take one and you can have the other!!!

Well, what will your role be in both jobs? That may help you make a decision.....I would pick the least stressful because both sound like good money.

Yes, yes, yes!! I have been a nurse 1.5 years and I do this still from time to time, less than when I was brand new but I still do it.

I have been a nurse for 1.5 years. And I too felt the same way, major case of reality shock as well as me being way too hard on myself and taking everything personally. After a year, I ended up going prn and now work full time doing chart reviews for...

Hmm, both sound good.... the LTC job......more money and it is at night but the oral surgeon job sounds good too, it is something different. I would choose the oral surgeon! Probably will be less stress than the LTC!!

I'm starting NP school this fall, August 08' and I plan on doing a WOW job on my unit, weekends only with every 8th weekend off. The pay is better than just regular weekends. Most of my classes the first year are online, so it should be cool. When I ...

Hi, I have 1.5 years experience on a busy med/tele unit and am ready to go back to school!!! So my question is can adult health NP's get a post masters certificate/ further training in something such as peds and be allowed to care for children while...

thanks for the response! the program here only has adult np and psychiatric np.so i chose adult.

I agree partially with this. Nursing is tough. I would shadow a nurse, become a CNA to get a realistic view of it. No one is trying to be negative.........just take what everyone says and realize that there are good sides and bad sides........but bot...

*Sigh* Easier said than done........when you start practicing as a nurse........you will understand that it is not this simple.

I was reading this...........student. You have no idea of what nursing really entails until you are actually a nurse.......I feel very sorry for youwhen you do become a nurse and come here to vent. All I have to say is........when you become a nurse....

It's just not that simple......nurses dont want to be treated badly. But it often happens. And we often dont get meal breaks. What you are saying sounds good in theory but when you begin working as a nurse post nursing school......you will be aware o...

I'm in LA. New grads here make about $18-19 and hour base. I was working 3-12's, days on the weekends so I was getting shift dif but I was so exhausted all the time......I'd sleep 2 of my 4 days off. I'm making a bit more at this job even though I ...
