I wish I had some advice for you. New NP here, but I just wanted to agree with you. I wish we would have been taught more about documentation and coding. Hope someone has some good advice for you (us).

I can relate a little to your situations. I did tell my boss because I needed her to be flexible with my scheduling, especially when clinical hours started. But I didn't really want everyone in the floor knowing, mostly because I didn't want them to...

Does anyone have any ideas for thank you gift for the offices where I do clinical? Last semester I made cupcakes and a thank you note but this semester I was way too busy. I want to either have something delivered it drop it off. Any ideas?

I want to practice my assessment skills for NP school, so I was looking into buying an otoscope/ophthalmoscope set. Since I am sure many offices already have them, I am not looking to spend a fortune. What is a decent brand to look for? Thanks!

I believe legally they can terminate you as family medical leave does not start until you have been there a year. I think it is unlikely though if you are gone only 2 weeks. Or would probably take them longer to train your replacement. Hope you feel...

I too had a baby in nursing school and I was not able to do clinical for 4 weeks although I only got one day off class (Thanks!). I went to a hospital diploma program and in order to return to clinical I had to be cleared by my OB and also by emloy...

For my RN-to-BSN class I have to write a letter to a politician expressing my view on a political issue which impacts nursing and the current healthcare system. Anyone have any good issues or know of a place where I can access some of these issues??...

I work full-time, which means 3 12-hour shifts, at a intermediate med-surg unit in a hospital. I am in need of extra money and was wondering if you have any suggestions on where I should look for a job. I was thinking per diem work, but I have no i...

I am graduating from my RN program in June and I am trying to sell the books I don't think I will need (mostly because I need the cash and because I don't want them lying around). So what books did you keep?? I am thinking Med Surg book, maternal-c...

Try: http://www.midwives.org/home.html They have an FNP option. I think you have to have your BSN first. But there are a ton of places you can get your BSN online.

What area of PA are you looking at?

I go to a hospital diploma program so we are right across the street from the hospital. I am in critical care too.We also have to preassess and have 3 days per week in ICU/CCU. For day 1 due is the patho, a problem list sorted by systems, a careplan...

Ok so I graduate from my RN program in June and it was recommended that we begin applying for jobs. To me it is a little odd because I just started my critical care rotation which I will complete clinical in the ICU and ED, so I haven't been expose...

I think this is a great idea and I never even thought of it. Thanks for pointing it out to all of us. There is no use on holding on to the review books, once you pass the test!

I got mine through wachovia bank online. It was a pretty simple process. You can take out additional money over the price of tuition if you want to cover expenses like gas or daycare if you need too. Seems the interest rates are pretty much the sa...

Ok, let's see what I can do here. Before going to nursing school I was a tax accountant at a CPA firm. Let me see: Any money you pay towards your tuition can be used towards a credit on your taxes. The form you would want is 8863. Your school sho...

I have a careplan due tomorrow. It has to have a psycosocial nursing diagnosis. I am at a total loss. I can't really do it on fear or anxiety, because the patient is "happily delirious". Any ideas would be appreciated.

I sure hope it can be done. I applied to nursing school two years ago and got accepted and then found out I was pregnant, so I withdrew. I applied again for this year, and once again, found out I was pregnant. This time I wasn't going to let it de...

OK, I feel like a complete and total idiot for even posting this question, but I am going to ask anyway. I start school on August 27. I am really excited and getting a little nervous, especially because I received my stethoscope the other day. Wel...

I go to bigwords.com or icampus.com. Both websites will do comparisons of all other websites, such as amazon, half.com, barnes&noble, and many others and show you the prices on those websites. That way you can see which website has the best dea...

I am currently an accountant going back to school for nursing this month. Just call your employer that issued the W2, they have to keep copies of them for 3-5 years. They can fax you a copy or youc can stop and pick one up.

I am starting NS in a couple weeks and it will be a second degree for me. I am hoping to get more stafford loans. I haven't recieved anything from financial aid yet, which is really annoying. I am going to go ahead and apply for a loan to cover th...

I am also working on my second degree. The first one was for accounting. I, like you, am looking at about $40k in loans when I am done with. I have been paying on my loans from my first degree, but they will soon be deferred. Here in PA, if you w...

I wouldn't recommend Sallie Mae. I have undergrad loans with them and have had tons of problems once they entered repayment. They weren't using the correct interest rates and I could never talk to someone I could understand (call center in India). ...
