  1. Nurse Practitioner clinicals/practicum

    sleepwalker replied to Bread&water16's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    sleepwalker replied to Lust4life's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You're welcome to your opinion regarding the process but, ultimately, the BON and PNAP do not care about your opinion. The only way to find out the answer to your question(s) is to contact them...

  11. FNP School

    sleepwalker replied to future_FNP21's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This. Clinical placement is very competitive due to multiple schools (brick & mortar as well as on-line) competing. Wait lists for clinical are often 2+ years! In addition, less people are willing...

    sleepwalker replied to Alice L's topic in General Nursing

  18. Anatomy & Physiology

    sleepwalker replied to Heather02128's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it's been 10 years (which is why most programs require re-taking at 5 years) and you don't remember anything then you should retake the courses. Looking for a "quick fix" isn't going to help you in...

  19. How NOT to get sued in Workers Comp?

    sleepwalker replied to Nursethatknows's topic in Case Management

    I would suggest reviewing the issue(s) with your supervisor...something is not right when an employer, an adjuster and a provider are calling with complaints/issues. It's hard to make specific...

  25. Judgmental rant about time off

    sleepwalker replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    I'm too suspicious minded to accept "abuse of call outs" as an excuse. The decision is most likely tied to money/profit and that weak excuse is all the effort they were willing to make to justify...
