I could most def see your concern with this. It was private, but now, not. During that private time, it was completely respected. There is a go fund me that is circulating all over public social media and it is widely known throughout.

I did not actually accept anything yet. I have had companies offer free passes for the kids and such and then I thought twice about it. I can't think of anything that would be wrong about it, but I want more opinions.

I am looking for opinions, I am not sure if I did something wrong or not. A fellow co-workers husband past away. They have two kids; we are all raising money for them in various ways. I decided to raise instead of money, things for the kids. I contacted some local companies for the kids in order to give back to them for the summer. I emailed some companies (Fun kids type places) with my OWN PERSONAL EMAIL ADDRESS (Not work email) not during work hours, at home during my own personal time, and told them a co-worker of mine lost her husband unexpected and her two young kids suddenly lost there father. I stated I was looking to see if there was anything they could do to help these kids out through one of the hardest summers of there life as there mom deserves it as she is a so and so nurse at so and so hospital and as given up so much of her life helping others and deserves it so much. I'm concerned because I said the Hospital Name in the email. I did NOT use a hospital letter head or anything, I didn't use hospital contact info, email, phone numbers, anything. Everything was my own personal stuff.

After becoming a nurse 6 years ago, I have wanted to become an NP. My mind and my heart is better suited for that sort of thinking, but I also love and carry the compassion to be at the beside. I plan to keep both of those values close to heart throughout my career. About a year after graduating and working nightshift, I developed tourettes/tics. My psych physician and NP highly think it is related to lack of sleep, awkward working hours, stress, etc. Even reverting back to a normal life, the hope is slim that my brain will actually reset. My tics are minor but a big deal to me. My main tic is a nasal sniffing tic. I sniff excessively when around people and mostly, when in a quiet environment. I really want to go to my local NP school which is all classroom based which is what I prefer/want. I am extremely nervous because of testing and all in a quiet environment. I did speak to the school about disability in regards to testing alone. The only special treatment I really would need is testing alone. I can sit in classes without issues, but in a dead silent environment, my nasal sniffing tic causes EXTREME anxiety and exacerbates. It does not affect my current nursing abilities. The disability department said, as long as my issue is documented with medical professionals and treatments have been tried, they have to approve it and it is a simple request. I'm scared of my classmates wondering why I am leaving during class when there is a test, I am scared of the professors thinking differently of me, I am afraid of annoying classmates in class if I start sniffing, etc. I have been treated for years, but mostly all failures. I have tried Clonidine, tenex, anti-psychotics, nicotine therapy, etc. Any words of advice? I have put off school for years because of this. Please, do not suggest going the online route, that is not for me. I hate myself because of this but I realize it could be much much worse.

agree with this. I have seen something on this nature happen first hand. A nurse reported someone else for doing something VERY inappropriate. That nurse reported it to management and a decent investigation took place from what we understand. it was proved in the end to not be true. The nurse being accused hired a lawyer and sued the crap out of the nurse that reported her, I can't remember what they called it, maybe defamation of character.. I think. It was taken very very serious and from what we heard, the court ripped the nurse who reported in apart for having no solidifing evidence rather just word of mouth and drawing personal conclusions. Be careful..

Good post!

Is it normal to be given just a ton of pages to read with no powerpoint or guidance on what is important to learn and no? I feel overwhelmed with all the pages I have to read as all of it is very detailed information. I have always been given in all previous courses I have ever taken a powerpoint or lecture that the textbook supplements. I asked my friend who goes to drexel and she said she studied and memorized the powerpoints and read the book for the parts she didn't understand. Just curious, because I feel like I have to learn every single thing I read and with a book this detailed, that is impossible. I can't grasp what is important to learn as there is no powerpoint to guide me. I am starting to think I'd be better off going to a school that that has actual in class, classes.

My biggest concern with going back to school is learning how to do research all over again. Mainly how to search databases with all those pety terms of "and" "Or" etc. In my undergrad, which was an on campus program we went to the library for two days in one of the classes where they taught us how to use the online databases. My friend is in the online drexel pnp program and said in one of her first courses, they took a class on how to do research with databases. Is this common in most/all programs to reteach students how to do these skills they may not have used for years? I've watched a youtube video and it's slightly coming back. If needed, my sister is in med school, I'll have her teach me!

I'm finally considering simmons after determining the price is worth my education. I've read a bazillion threads about simmons. I just have a few questions. 1. Anyone in the fulltime program, what hours are you working for a job? Part time? Per diem? Nothing? 2. Are there certain times you have to view the online lectures? For instance, do you have to attend at lets say, 5pm for a class, or can you watch the lecture whenever you want? 3. MOST IMPORTANTLY!!! How active are they in setting up clinicals? From what I gather, it is the students responsibility but they are there to assist. How much assistance do they truly provide? If very little to none, they I would just go to University of Cincinatti who offers no assistance for much cheaper. Thanks!

I am currently enrolled to start next semester in a PMHNP program. During my downtime at work, I search for psych np jobs for fun. I see very little listed, everything wants years of experience to apply, etc. Getting jobs as an RN has always been so easy. I feel like I should be going the FNP route because I'll never be able to get a job. I'm okay with moving for a job although I'd like to stay in the northeast if possible. I guess I just need a boost of confidence, I feel like I am going to spend all this money, not get a job, not be able to pay back my loans, etc. This NP world is so different from the RN world.

Thank you so much for that response! I will be going to Wilkes University which is mostly online, with some classroom stuff. The university is only 45 minutes from me. Greatly appreciated! Last question, for schooling, did you have to do a lot of theory work about Sigmund freud, erik erikson, and all those theorists? I am not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to understanding and comprehending there work; it was my struggle in my undergrad. Thanks!

I'd advise you to work in a NICU and shadow an NNP several times before you even consider the NNP route. I once thought I wanted to be an NNP, but after working in a nicu for 4 years as an RN, NO WAY IN H*LL!! lol They have a tremendous amount of responsibility, not that other NPs dont, but it is a very acute care setting.

4 year NICU nurse, 2 years pediatric nurse. I would love to go for my PNP, but after talking to practically all the NPs in my area, be prepared to move where ever. I am shying away from it because of that sadly

I am interested in this as I will just be started a psych program. If you wouldn't mind me asking, which school did you attend? What settings did you do your clinical practice in, state hospitals, offices? What types of clients did you see most often? What sort of diagnoses? Sorry, I don't mean to hijack your thread, but if we have a mini conversation here, it will keep your thread bumped to the top in hopes of getting your real question answered :) Appreciate any help you could give, remember what it was like to be in my position!
