Dana1969, it sounds like things haven't changed in the FNP program at Holy Names University. Wish it were otherwise, as I believe FNPs are the bright stars of our profession that nursing needs to promote better in the public eye. I hope HNU can turn ...
RNs in the acute setting are treated as Disposable. We are regularly forced to work in unsafe/hostile conditions, where we face patient assaults, verbally abusive doctors, and relentlessly hostile management. The RN is the Point of Contact for almost...

I completed a 12-month accelerated BSN, and it was 12 months of hell! The first seven months, I had to cutback to four hours of sleep a night, just to keep up with the reading/term papers/presentations. I got an apartment 2 blocks from the campus, di...
