    Post Masters FNP after WGU

    klone replied to Sully64's topic in Western Governors University

    My husband is planning on doing this (not FNP, but AGNP). He's calculated that it will probably shave 6 months off his total time in the NP program, and a couple thousand dollars. I think he's...

    University of Phoenix CEO quits

    klone replied to Mavrick's topic in Nursing News

    I have no problem with online programs, as evidenced by the fact that my MSN came from one. My problem is with SPECIFIC programs that use predatory recruitment practices, inflate their job placement...

    Breastfeeding vs Formula Fed babies and Childhood Obesity

    klone replied to nursedeena's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry you were made to feel that way. It's wrong. It shouldn't have happened like that. My job as a lactation consultant is to help the women who want to breastfeed, not berate or guilt those who...

    Breastfeeding vs Formula Fed babies and Childhood Obesity

    klone replied to nursedeena's topic in General Students

    Heather, I'm sorry you had a bad experience. Just because your formula-fed child is healthy, smart and skinny does NOT negate the HUNDREDS (yes, hundreds, not one or two) of studies that show there...

    Tennessee Hospital Performed Procedure on Wrong Baby

    klone replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Nursing News

    While it's horrible that this happened, at least it was minor and not something like a circumcision! I'm wondering, though, why the physician didn't look at his tongue and question why they were...

    Independent CNM practice?

    klone replied to GenSurgRNFA's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    In Denver, I only know of one CNM who has a solo private practice. She attends homebirths. As the only CNM in the area who does homebirth (as opposed to CPMs or DEMs) she's quite busy, but is ALWAYS...

    For those of you who are starting the RN-BSN program, have you been in contact with your mentor yet? My husband is starting the program and there has been no contact, no notification of who his mentor...

    Initiating Evidence Based Practices

    klone replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Unlike a regular labor ball/yoga ball, a peanut ball is more oval with a narrower part in the center (looks just like a peanut in the shell) which is safer and more comfortable to sit

    Hospice Agency Startup

    klone replied to Kijana's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    We are in Denver. I think they failed because in Colorado there is no regulation on how many hospices there are (as opposed to a "certificate of need" state) so everyone and their uncle starts up a...

    klone replied to Guest941822's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    My husband is a hospice nurse. I think he worked in a SNF for about six months, then moved to hospice and has been doing that for 10 years. If you have CNA experience with hospice, that's a good way...
