    Not Excited About Becoming FNP

    Tait replied to ChristineN's topic in General Nursing

    Here is a role journal article that explains the CNS and CNL positions pretty well. CNS seems like more of a "super resource" nurse in the hospital. It can include things similar to RRT, to direct...

    Just a question

    Tait replied to Mrsladysoul83's topic in General Students

    I failed a class once, but not the program, so I am not sure but I think completion of the LPN program and honors would be enough to warrant a re-entry. I would make an appointment with your academic...

    I need advice on if I can change my record.

    Tait replied to dakota0898's topic in General Students

    I failed my 2nd semester clinical in the 7th week of an 8 week course and I went back in the next semester, retook it and did fine. As far as the LPN NCLEX we could sit for it after the first year of...

    My family thinks that I am playing it too safe.

    Tait replied to na-na's topic in General Students

    I say go for it. A lot of nurses take steps in their education. I would rather my daughter pace herself then dive in and then discover she hates being wet. Shows a lot of maturity on your part. Bravo!...

    Super Obese

    Tait replied to anotherone's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Perhaps, like confused patients who need additional help and are provided private sitters by family, those who need extra help with turning and cleaning due to weight should be approached about hiring...

    medication error

    Tait replied to athnurse's topic in General Nursing

    It happens to all of us at some point. Give yourself a break, breathe, and just learn from it (which it sounds like you already are). I know it is a horrible experience. (((hugs)))

    Request for good wishes/prayers

    Tait replied to trauma_lama's topic in General Nursing

    Enjoy your last two weeks, revel in being graduated, and start working on fine tuning your resume and looking deeper for jobs. New grad positions are tough right now, in a lot of areas, but don't lose...

    All in my head?

    Tait replied to JVoEDrn's topic in General Nursing

    While having a talent most of us would trade an expensive stethoscope for, don't let it be your only defining ability. I am sure this man appreciates the fact that you recognize the trouble you have...

    Would phlebotomy skill be helpful to get a job as an RN?

    Tait replied to hilee119's topic in General Nursing

    I say go for it. If nothing else it will give you confidence if you wind up in a job that requires you to draw your own blood

    HELP! Im running out of loan money

    Tait replied to Tiffany7779's topic in School, College Programs

    Generally FA is calculated by attempted credits (completed/withdrawn/failed). I would talk to the advisers again. Most of the time the school sets some of the limits and perhaps you can get an...

    Capella University

    Tait replied to bahamagirlrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have no experience with Capella, but when I mentioned they had contacted me about their DNP program my husband got a little huffy. Something about harassing students to apply, but then not vesting...

    Any Grand Canyon RN-BSN grads?

    Tait replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I had a guy for my class and he was awesome. He had these worksheets that were pre-made and you could fill them out online for the assignments. I was fortunate to have my husband here to sort of...

    Ventage

    Tait replied to exit96's topic in General Nursing

    I think a lot of people live on credit. I know, despite my husband having a great job, we are still putting things on credit as I am currently not working and focusing on my 22 month old and soon to...

    Let RN license lapse to get out of "Old" new grad rut?

    Tait replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Nursing

    I spent five years keeping my license active in a state I had no intention of returning to any time soon. I would never let my liscence lapse. So in short, no I do not think it is a good

    First Informal Interview as an MSN-Ed

    Tait posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to say I haven't felt particularly "special" since I started getting my RN-MSN-ed. For the most part I just kept my head down and put one foot in front of the other each day. Now t That...

    It's also against the TOS to attempt to start arguments or degrade other posters. I prefer the report button over derailing a thread about grammar or

    When a friendship turns toxic? Treat or release?

    Tait replied to babsy28's topic in General Students

    I agree with everything above. Additionally, for me, partying and sleeping are BOTH signs of potential depression. If things have changed this dramatically there is something else going

    medical terminology

    Tait replied to malonejr's topic in General Students

    This is a thread on its own and has been clearly addressed by the OP. In other more relevant news, I think with your schooling background you could pick up a med term book and just self-review. I...

    Super Obese

    Tait replied to anotherone's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ty for this. Pretty much summed up what I was thinking. I remember watching a Lifetime special on morbid obesity. One of the moms of an obese son brought him food everyday. She was so damaged from the...

    Why do some nurses use their titles as a big ego boost?
