  1. Unpaid Mandatory Meetings?

    fnp2b369 replied to BiohazardBetty's topic in General Nursing

    i think it's wonderful that you took your concerns to your manager and that she agreed to adjust the start time so that the mandatory meetings would be on-the-clock, paid time. That's the way it...

  3. Unpaid Mandatory Meetings?

    fnp2b369 replied to BiohazardBetty's topic in General Nursing

    I am not at work for "everyone," I am at work for me and my patients. You are attempting to guilt your co-workers into attending unpaid meetings which is manipulative behavior. I could care less how...

  4. Seven Hells: Vent

    fnp2b369 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks, I appreciate that. I like to think I am a good OR nurse. Yes, I know more about the OR than you do. That doesn't mean you know less than I do. Conversely you know more about ICU than I do,...

  5. Seven Hells: Vent

    fnp2b369 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Really? I beg to differ. I went directly into the OR after I completed my ADN program and passed boards. I've spent nearly 20 years there-I've never worked a day on my license that wasn't in the...

  6. Seven Hells: Vent

    fnp2b369 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Landing your dream job and going to grad school have almost nothing to do with each other. If you want to go to grad school then just go. I am working FT and am about to start grad school FT, an FNP...

  7. Seven Hells: Vent

    fnp2b369 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had no idea the VA had a mechanism in place whereby techs could earn their RN. This is very interesting, could you tell us how that works? Also, I thought all VA RN's had to have their

  8. Seven Hells: Vent

    fnp2b369 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hmmm, I have to disagree with you there. All this "put your time in the trenches" is nothing more than a sign of the times, IMO. When I graduated from my ADN program in '97 I swore on stacks of bibles...

  9. Are we "semi-professionals"

    fnp2b369 replied to GastroAwesome's topic in General Nursing

    I was an LVN, immediately bridged to an ADN program afterwards and earned my BSN online through UoP. Therefore I am able to speak from firsthand experience and can say without a doubt my BSN program...

  10. Are we "semi-professionals"

    fnp2b369 replied to GastroAwesome's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed! Until the BSN is the minimum requirement for entering nursing we will never truly be viewed as professionals,

  11. Is the nursing profession causing its own RN shortage?

    fnp2b369 replied to RNDave's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Very well said, PyridiumP! No school in the nation has the legal authority to determine the total number of clinical hours of its students. The state BON's have the sole authority to set the minimum...

  12. Is the nursing profession causing its own RN shortage?

    fnp2b369 replied to RNDave's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I have no problem at all with RN's who see bedside nursing as a bridge to a better career. I've been an OR nurse for nearly 20 years now. During that time the work has steadily gotten so much harder...

  13. Samuel Merritt online MSN-FNP summer 2015

    fnp2b369 replied to deedeeRN8's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi FNPhereIcome, I will be applying to the Winter 2016 cohort starting in January. I am a little nervous about my application, I have a 3.75 from University of Phoenix. Is that considered...

  14. Georgetown Online Midwife/Women's Health

    fnp2b369 replied to Dyana143's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I called Georgetown just a few days ago and spoke with an admissions advisor-what a disappointment. The advisor was unable and unwilling to share even the most basic of information with me. I asked...

  15. CNMs, how long did you wait?q

    fnp2b369 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I found out about Frontier on this forum and have been very excited at both the thought of going there (WHNP) as well as all the good things others have had to say about the program-I don't think I've...

  16. Where is the best online NP program

    fnp2b369 replied to n4dcb's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    OK, I think I may have heard of this program before (it's ringing a vague, distant bell . . . or is that just the result of too many wine coolers on the 4th???). It SEEMS kosher but what I'd like to...

  17. UCSF CNM program

    fnp2b369 replied to fbee's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi there, I am planning to apply to the WHNP program at UCSF in 2010. I was wondering if anyone knows how the school views ADN nurses with a BSN from University of Phoenix (online). Yeah, I know...
