  1. DHMC Nurse Residency Program

    greygooseuria replied to ParrotheadRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard nothing but good things about DHMC, contract or not. Are you sure the 15k isn't the amount they pay off of your student loans? I have an interview with them next week and I'll

  2. Job Advice

    greygooseuria replied to gapeachRN2009's topic in First Year After Licensure

  4. Do ADN's have trouble getting hired now that everyone is getting a BSN

    greygooseuria replied to katierinsd's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  6. Will most hospitals hire a person with a bachelors dgree before a person with an ADN.

    greygooseuria replied to TrinaCNA's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yeah, I am really sick of getting slammed on this board for going for my BSN. Why waste 4 years to get an ADN when I can do an accelerated BSN in 15 months? And personally, I think my BSN and BA in...

  10. Questions about Hopkins

  12. MMC CNA course...

    greygooseuria replied to mgsp14's topic in General Nursing

    I did it this past January before I started nursing school. I worked full time during it and was taking A&P II and I passed the Maine state CNA test with a perfect score. It is extremely doable...

  13. Hospitalist NP's - How do you do it?

    greygooseuria replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have a question for all you hospitalist NPs! The school I want to go to (University of Pittsburgh) has many concentrations, two of them being Acute Care NP and Pediatric NP. My eventual goal is to...

  14. "Nursing students with C's are still nurses".. ?

    greygooseuria replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    There are so many factors to take into consideration, but to answer the original poster's question (which not many have done, mind you): yes, it is completely possible that she will be a better nurse...

  15. UPMC jobs

    greygooseuria replied to greygooseuria's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    We exchanged PMs a few days

  16. UPMC jobs

    greygooseuria replied to greygooseuria's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Yeah, I know they have jobs posted but I don't think that necessarily means there isn't a freeze. Maybe I'll email HR/the manager and see if it is still happening. PM sent

  17. Gay male nurse stereotype?

    greygooseuria replied to greygooseuria's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I actually had a weird response to a straight coworker finding out I was gay tonight. He's a meathead and asked a nurse if he should flex for me and take off his shirt and try to turn me on....

    greygooseuria posted a topic in General Students

    greygooseuria posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I graduate in August and am looking to move to TX to be with my best friend and depending on what med school she gets into we will be moving to Houston or Dallas. Are there any new grad programs in...

  20. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    greygooseuria replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not to bash on MDs but... when I was in the ER in September, the ER MD said I just had a pulled muscle and gave me some pain meds and sent me on my way. My PA the next day saw my labs and did some...

  21. For those of you who hold a hold a biology or science degree

    greygooseuria replied to srleslie's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on what school you go to. In my program, most of my test questions are patho related and aren't at all questions on technical skills. For example, we'll have a question like... Your...

  22. New grad programs in Houston and Dallas?

    greygooseuria replied to greygooseuria's topic in Texas Nursing

  23. Seeing a dying patient

    greygooseuria posted a topic in General Students

    So this weekend, I saw my first dying patient, and I was assigned to sit in his room with him so that he wouldn't be alone when he passed. Well...I cried pretty much the whole time I was in the room....

  24. Odd observations.

    greygooseuria replied to THAT Nurse.'s topic in Male Nursing Students

    Maybe it's your specific hospital then. I have seen this in numerous hospitals in New England, the midwest, and in PA. Female RNs that I've seen are usually gruffer with their patients and just don't...

  25. Odd observations.

    greygooseuria replied to THAT Nurse.'s topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have an easier time with female patients than male patients actually, and I have never had one mind me. I find female physicians MILES better than male physicians. MALE physicians are the ones with...
