  1. got fired/terminated

    Conqueror+ replied to YesYesRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have seen on many applications a stand alone question that asks "have you ever been terminated or forced to resign? Magnet hospital staff is comprised of people just like every other type of...

  2. Question about Cussing on the job.

    Conqueror+ replied to Roda dendron's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think profanity is low class and unprofessional in the workplace. Whether or not you are

  3. How old is too old to safely practice?

    Conqueror+ replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    All of the 60 is the new 40 rhetoric has been propagated to encourage people to work up until the day they die. I work with a nurse in her 70's and I feel sad for her and her patients. She cannot...

  4. Seriously?? Small rant.

    Conqueror+ replied to DelaneyB's topic in General Nursing

    This is MY license. There are many like it but this one is

  5. Doctor stole my stethoscope

    Conqueror+ replied to ayejay09's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I never lend mine to anyone. They think you are kind of a....at first but then they learn not to ask you. The thought of sticking someone elses ear smear into my head is beyond

  6. The problem with Some new nurses

    Conqueror+ replied to princesscoronado's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    While I have no problem toileting/changing/getting ice water etc... if I wanted to do it for an entire shift I would not have gone back to

  7. More preceptors than you need

    Conqueror+ replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    School 1 has more hours required but they do not have a campus visit for skills checkoff before clinicals like school 2 does so I consider them even in that department. Neither has advanced...

  8. Chiros depending on NPs for their new practice model: watch out!

    Conqueror+ replied to urbanrn328's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Could you explain what you mean by the reap what we sow comment ? I honestly don't

  9. More preceptors than you need

    Conqueror+ replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have built up quite the excel spreadsheet over the last two years :). I have been trying to balance rigor/cost/time. I so regret not taking my first two years of undergrad seriously. Some of the...

  10. More preceptors than you need

    Conqueror+ replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My ASN and BSN gpa's are 3.9 combined but they count every class ever so the events of 1998 and 1999 have my gpa too low. They also will not count classes taken after degree conferral. The second...

  11. More preceptors than you need

    Conqueror+ replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you for your response. In revisiting my midnight post I realize that it comes off a bit sarcastic. I suppose I was overeacting to all of the thread hijacks that always tend to take place when...

  12. Psych NPs: Do you touch your clients?

    Conqueror+ replied to resilientnurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    When I worked psych we never touched. I later found that many of my patients had boundary issues and hugs etc.. just made it harder to

  13. Perrla

    Conqueror+ replied to cnp002's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have used PERRLA for 3 years and love it. Purdue OWL is a website that gives you guidelines. It does NOT format your papers and APA proficiency will NOT make you a superior

  14. Programs in Florida-Nova/UT/USF

    Conqueror+ replied to abmrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I understand what you mean. I graduate with my BSN right after the application dealine which puts me starting my MSN almost 18 months after I graduate. I could be 6 months from finishing at another...

  15. "My Nurses"

    Conqueror+ replied to HairyMurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In my case I am not going to remember 100 names. If I am floating or traveling as I did for years it just make sense. Also, I asked myself how I would feel if a doc referred to me as "that nurse" or...

  16. Programs in Florida-Nova/UT/USF

    Conqueror+ replied to abmrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Since I've had a meeting with admissions at the University of Tampa in the last month I'll add what I have learned. I was informed that the program is three and a half to 4 years. They could not tell...

  17. Night shift and clinicals

    Conqueror+ replied to amygrizzard's topic in General Students

    This is why I am a proponent of keeping my mouth shut. I think that the world of social media makes people feel as though they have to share everything. School at school, work at work, it only becomes...

  18. Request not to be placed at certain clinical site

    Conqueror+ replied to sheirry's topic in General Students

    I would not want to risk making my school look bad by showing up and then being asked by the facility to leave. They will be pretty angry when they haul you in and their first question will be "why...

  19. Allina Health not hiring online NP grads

    Conqueror+ replied to RockMay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    And I'll just bet there will NOT be a bunch of physicians willing to openly bad mouth them

  20. How do you handle co-workers who are extremely dramatic and are easily stressed?

    Conqueror+ replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    They are trying to get something from you with their behavior. I NEVER give it to them even once. They stop coming to you. The

  21. What is with this angry nurse?

    Conqueror+ replied to itsybitsy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I used to work with a nurse and I could tell if she and her bedmate of the week were getting along by the way she put her bag down. Working with her taught me to let people keep their crazy to...

  22. What do you think? My mother is told she is a drug addict by her primary care physician

    Conqueror+ replied to lhome's topic in General Nursing

    While I do not have all of the answers I strongly disagree with pain is whatever the patient says it is. It might work if the patients were not aware of the rule. When you are sucking down a big mac...

  23. Feeling blackballed out of RN program

    Conqueror+ replied to JackieHouse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is the one upside to online/digital applications. I can literally see pdfs of everything that has been submitted and they are checked off as complete when they are

  24. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    Conqueror+ replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is great. While your mom chose to have you she did NOT have to do a good job raising you. Do something nice for her. It's not like you can pay her back for all of the years she put in....

  25. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    Conqueror+ replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked in Philly I saw many an LPN driving Mercedes and Jaguars etc... You could also make $30+ dollars an hour base pay easily and OT was plentiful. I was happy with my paid off 10 year old...
