Mnstn BSN, RN

Hello! I am currently taking a beginner botanical medicine course with the hopes of continuing to their intermediate and professional programs eventually. I would love to somehow integrate being a practicing registered herbalist and a registered nurs...

Hello! Please let me know if this has been answered elsewhere. I've recently graduated with my MPH in Health Education and Health Promotion. I have been an BSN/RN for around 7 years with a bit over a year of bedside experience, a bit of research...

I've been doing telephone triage for pediatric and adult neurology clinics for roughly 3 years. I've been burned out for so long. It's exhausting to sit all day, get yelled at on the phone and never be thanked for what I do. I answer between 50 to 70...

It is time to renew my CPN certification which I've had for I think 4 years. I've been in grad school for public health this year and the nursing for I've done hasn't been pediatric related. Because of this, I don't qualify for work related hours or ...

This may be a bit premature but I can't help but think about the future. I've started a MPH program with a focus on health promotion and behavorial science. I don't have clear cut goals yet but I'm interested program development and evaluation as wel...

I understand that one has to have nursing experience in an area to actually educate. I've been a pediatric RN for 6 years with both inpatient and outpatient experience and now I'm getting my MPH. My question was more, is a MSN worth it or needed to f...

I didn't get my senior practicum in NICU. I was placed in pediatric medsurg despite showing extreme interest in NICU throughout school. Will I still be able to be hired or get a residency in NICU? I feel like my school has just shut me out of jobs an...

Thanks everyone for your support! I started the Wildflower School of Botanical Medicine since they have a weekend program and I'm in Texas but if I ever plan to go further into the advanced stuff I'll need to move closer. A lot of their students have...

I am considering applying for several MSN Education programs. I have a background in pediatrics but aside from that not really anything specific to education. Does anyone have suggestions for things I could do to bolster my application to make me mor...

I can't speak for everyone who has been hired in research nursing but I know that when I was hired as a research nurse coordinator they specifically were comfortable with someone who had no research background. I still think there would be a chance f...

I've worked as a research nurse coordinator for around a month. When I interviewed I was under the impression it was a typical M-F job with the mention of an occasional Saturday if the volunteer couldn't make it during the week. What I was not made a...

Thanks for the responses. I guess I'm still confused by the grant and payment systems because I'm new to everything research still. I know that I'm not tied to a specific grant to my knowledge so I can't lose my job if it runs out. If I am I've neve...

I can't help the OP unfortunately but I had to chime in and state that what drug tests are testing is not the psychoactive component of marijuana. Typical screening drug tests in no way measure impairment due to marijuana. Typical drug tests are test...

Its a good program. I'm currently in their new grad residency program and I have met nurses in the fellowship program. The ones I have spoken to like the program a lot because it allows them to get 6 months experience, be considered experienced when ...

I am a senior nursing student in Seattle. My school does not learn how to start IVs and while we are allowed to learn to start them in our final quarter, only students in the ER really learn. I don't think it is just my school. Why is this? Is there...

My dream is to work in a NICU. I quickly realized that wasn't going to work as most required a lot of experience. I moved onto looking at pediatric jobs, unfortunately a lot of those jobs require experience. There are two children's hospitals in my t...

I am interested in pediatric neurology but I don't know how one actually becomes a pediatric neurology nurse practitioner beyond getting a masters/doctorate. Does anyone have any information about this process?

Thank you so much for the information, it was very helpful.

My school does not allow us and we are not taught at all. If we get the opportunity in our capstone course it is because the unit we are on is willing to teach us.

Several of my classmates who are graduating this June with me who are worried about not getting hired as an RN quickly enough. They are wondering if its possible to work as a CNA while they wait to be hired as a RN?

I recently have had problems with hypoglycemia during the morning and I think its because I'm not eating enough breakfast. I ate two scrambled eggs and toast before my clinical and still felt a bit faint and hot when listening to morning report. Wha...

I need to make plane flights soon! I am currently a nursing student in Seattle, Washington but I am a resident of Houston, Texas. I plan to be licensed in Texas but I was hoping to take the test in Seattle to study with my friends. If I take the NCLE...

Thanks for the feedback. I am applying to nurse residencies in Texas (all over, though I am from Houston). Fortunately I do have some medical contacts in Houston to use as well as several references from clinical professors. I will do my best in my s...

I have lecture mondays and fridays for 6 hours though there is a break between classes. I have clinical at the hospital on Saturdays for 12 hours from 7 to 7. Im not married and I dont have children.
