    knewb replied to knewb's topic in General Nursing

    What do you think would be the best route to go for (1) family practice NP and (2) Psychiatric NP? I really want to get good nursing skills and try to keep them. I'm not sure how long I will be able...

    knewb replied to knewb's topic in General Nursing

    I love the beach, and will be sad to leave it , but I think the job prospects are dim here. Too many nursing schools with new grads! I may come back after I have some experience. I'm ready for a...

    knewb replied to knewb's topic in General Nursing

    How is the commute? Is it a cool city for an older (young-at-heart) professional, too? Can you find a place to live in a safe neighborhood on a starting nurse's salary? Sorry for all the questions,...

    I hope all these years on earth have helped my instincts! LOL You are so right about the area where you live being important. Can you elaborate on the "distinct personalities"? I wish there was some...

    I feel like what you have said is so important. I hope I can find a place where I can feel free to ask questions and learn from experienced nurses (or CNA's). In my clinicals, I have already...

    knewb replied to knewb's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! How do you know so much?! I will take your advice, and apply to them all. I did check out the website for UMMC Shock Trauma- it looks great! I just don't think I'll be able to get the same...

  10. Older new grad- career advice, plz

    knewb replied to knewb's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks- you bring up good points. Your point of a long, specific orientation with a preceptor is my idea of "nurturing." Could this happen in an ICU for a new grad? Also, how can I learn more about...

    knewb replied to knewb's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for responding! Did you take your classes online? Did you find it difficult to work and take classes? One last question- how will you work and do your MSN clinicals? I'm just trying to figure...

    I have already done the review of literature, but part of the assignment is to interview 2 nurses.... and we all know nurses are too busy to be interviewed... this is my last hope. Thanks for the...
