  9. I'm considering starting one within the next year or
  10. Thanks for your thoughtful response! More than likely, my fear of criticism is actually fear of my own criticism - the fact that I wanted to make money with my job was something I couldn't say out...
  11. Hi All! I will be graduating and sitting for boards (in psych) in August. I am looking at jobs and had an introductory phone call with a private practice. They have several physicians and...

  14. Hi all, Does anyone have experience working at a place like Ideal Image for laser hair removal? My former ICU preceptor recently passed her boards, started in primary care, and hated it. She is the...
  15. Hi all! I am commenting on a discussion r/t alkalosis for my graduate APRN class. I want to write about the practice of returning gastic contents to the stomach (originally removed via GT to LWS,...
  16. Feeding GI contents to combat alkalosis

    Ok, I reread your first comment, Mom, and it made total sense!! And RN-Logic -- I'm so glad you get your rocks off by being the master of an online forum! I too could spend my time trying to think of...

    What isn't professional? How I formed my post?? Certainly you don't mean the
  18. Air Force HPSP Scholarship

    I am very much interested in this as well (just heard about it a few days ago from a coworker). I found your post during the beginning of my Googling, so I have lots to research still, but it sounds...
  19. Loan repayment for ARNPs?

    I'm just starting grad school (in a few months), and have read about the loan repayment programs. What I haven't been able to figure out is if one has to "sign up" before going to school/getting...

    Zenman: Were you referring to therapy for the people going into the mental health field, or that they should get a "therapy" degree ~ I really wasn't sure which you meant! I hadn't meant "minor...
  22. Hi! Okay this thread is a little in the past, but is relevant to some questions I have (and posted in another thread, but makes so much sense here, so maybe you past-posters can help). I was under the...
  23. NP Specialties?

    Since the OP originally mentioned ED nursing... Has anyone heard about UMDNJ's ED concentration in the FNP program? I just spoke with them and the program (brand new for Fall 2010), will prepare NP's...

    plus...check out the gender
  25. How to Shadow?

    Hi! After determining that I definitely want to get my masters degree and deciding CRNA is out, I am stuck trying to decide if becoming an APRN is for me and what I might like to do with it. I work in...
