1. Confused on what does PRN Mean??? Need Help on Understanding It Please!!

   benegesserit replied to jes07's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   Yes, it is probably normal. Places with adequate staffing don't need constant per diem coverage. When I was per diem, I usually got called once a month to arrange coverage for planned vacations and so...

2. Falls!!!!Falls!!!!!Falls!!!!!!

   benegesserit replied to texas tea's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   We were soooooooo skeptical when they decided to do away with alarms in my facility several years ago. But it is really much more pleasant, and I don't think falls have increased. It gets a little...

3. Statistics course

   benegesserit replied to NurseBre94's topic in Western Governors University

   At the time I enrolled, Statistics had a time limit of, I believe, 5 years. So, if yours is recent enough, it should transfer. Mine was 15 years old, so it didn't... but I found the WGU version...

4. WGU FNP

   benegesserit replied to stepbystep12's topic in Western Governors University

   They sent out a survey to alumni a few months ago asking about interest in FNP and DNP programs, among other things. Didn't respond, as the options they gave didn't really fit my personal situation....

5. WGU - RN to BSN - 90 hr clinical requirement. How are you meeting it?

   benegesserit replied to JennRN65's topic in Western Governors University

   It's possible that this individual responded to the thread without realizing it was about a specific

6. Slow nursing jobs? So I can go back to school.

   benegesserit replied to countrygirl1234's topic in General Nursing

   When I decided to apply to a Masters program, I was working in a small rural ER. There were many nights when we had *nothing*, or nearly so. I could work on outdates, stocking, or other busywork for...

7. MSN - how long does it take?

   benegesserit replied to Lz1123's topic in Western Governors University

   Because it is self-paced, "usual" isn't really an useful concept with WGU. According to the chart on their website, approximately 20% finish in 1 year, 25% in 1.5 years, 30% in two years, and the rest...

8. Switch Shifts?

   benegesserit replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

   This is very very valid. I recently switched to 5 8s, and found that, despite a pay increase, I'm earning around $1000 a month less because of lost overtime/per diem opportunities. If working nights...

9. RN to MPH-Nursing- Where to Go?

   benegesserit replied to beachtomountainsRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

   I looked into a public health master's options when considering which MSN to choose. I wasn't looking at quite the same thing, since I already had a BSN, but this is what I found. You've basically got...

10. Ruined my chances of a BSN? Have to be an ADN forever??

    benegesserit replied to sunnyfish's topic in General Students

    I screwed up my first round of university. Hasn't mattered in the slightest. I did an RN to BSN program, and am currently working on an MSN. RN to BSN programs don't tend to be particularly...

11. Panic attacks following never event.

    benegesserit replied to Iamgroot29's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, we had an event at my facility - I was there that day, but it wasn't actually my patient. A co-worker took most of the fallout from the event, but I'm 100% sure the situation would have happened...

12. I GOTTA KNOW!!!!!

    benegesserit replied to qaqueen's topic in General Nursing

    Well, combining a lasix shortage and a urinal shortage just might work

13. RN best -BSN or RN- MSN ,FNP

    benegesserit replied to Ammac516's topic in Post Graduate Students

    https://allnurses.com/western-governors-university/if-you-went-837412.html The quick answer is that yes, plenty of people have gone on to MSN/NP programs after WGU. You will not be coming out of it...

14. Did You Know the Specialty You Wanted to Work In Before Clinicals?

    benegesserit replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    I knew where I wanted to work. Like you, I'd volunteered in a certain setting, and that's what led me to nursing in the first place. Clinicals didn't change my mind. I found that I liked most other...

15. What happens to your license if the school you previously attended shuts down?

    benegesserit replied to jocelynpotano's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that contacting your BON is the answer, but keep in mind that all sorts of schools shut down - it isn't a problem limited to for-profits. The state university I'd thought about going to shut...
