Hello all, I am sure this is not the very new question. I am in my final year of MSN-NP (Adult Health) I teach part time iand I work at mid-management level in a small hospital.No more bedside since 6 months. Recently my role is becoming intense with Research and Data Management. While I consider it as a good progress,it is not what I will be doing as a NP. I am thinking may be I will opt for a role transition in the same hospital as I have earned a very good reputation and position. I am still confused about how and where to kick off as NP? In employee health? or ER?

My friend, first of all. No doctor yells at nurse.(There is professionalism and code of conduct in every organization.) I am sure you are looking around for second career. Do not enter in a profession unless you know what exactly you are getting into. My advise - go to your local hospital and request if you can volunteer on a floor as a help person and observe a nurse in action in various departments for at least 1 week. Think about this time as your investment time and make your decision. There is nothing like practical experience. Good Luck.

worked for 6 months and had to leave with 1 week's notice due to family obligations. Now when I want to return,I can not be hired as I gave short notice? what's next?

I'm a graduate from Trinitas. The course has been designed in order to make a nurse who can take total responsibility as soon as they pass the course. You will see when you will take the boards.It seems like a cake walk after you graduate. Everyone had to go through the same,even 5-6 semesters back. So hang in there,do what is within your capacity and you will be able to make it. Just relax.

Hello Nurses, With the change in the field of nursing.From legal nursing to holistic nursing and many more options in administration we all are trying to further our careers in a direction that will make a lot of difference in healthcare scenerio. where do you see yourself 5 yrs from now. I can see myself either in administration or as a holistic nurse. I just want to know how you feel about your future.

When I practiced Homeopathy back in my country only thing they asked was "Can you heal this complaint?" I tried my best to help.And Homeopathy did help them. Here the world is different.Now many a times I have to question myself how I am going to explain that this is not a placebo therapy.How can one see beyond the actual material substance.The principle of Dynamic healing is nonpalatable here. I may have to ask each of them to read 'Organon of Medicine " by Samuel Hahnemann(Founder of Homeopathy) which explains in detail how it works. The only reason to start this thread is to see how many of us know what Homepathy actually is.How can we practice it legally?How can we give our clients an opportunity to choose alternative therapy when they are told that "THERE IS NO KNOWN CURE FOR THE CONDITION" I respect all alternative treatment as far as it does NO HARM. The healers high and only mission is to cure the sick.

The best thing for you to do is get certified by AHNA as a holistic nurse practioner.http://www.AHNA.org I am a Homeopath from India.Practiced for 10 years in India and even taught as a lecturer for 2 years there.When I came to this country I practiced with an MD but soon realized that it is illegal to even prescribe without appropriate licence.Here many RN were practicing and prescribing Homeopathy ,hence I thought of pursuing RN.I have recently passed NCLEX after completing the state approved nursing course. I am looking forward to establish my practice as an independent holistic practioner.I also have plans in future to set up training for those who are interested in Homeopathy. I wish you good luck

1.75 Questions 2.Went over my notes from school and Saunders CD with new format. 3.I scored highest in my School ATI testing 4.Iwas ready to take NCLEX as soon as I graduated.I had to simply wait for 3 weeks as my ATT number did not arrive.Out of frustration I kept calling (Called for 5 hours straight till I got someone live on line).Got my ATT number within 48 hours took test in a week after that. 5.Came out of test feeling relived,good and relaxed. 6.It was my first attempt. And yes I passed and have my letter with Licence number within 10 days of NCLEX.I will get my actual licence soon. :) To those who are still waiting. Good luck. Just think it this way NCLEX wants to make sure that we are going to be SAFE nurses.That's What I felt about the whole exam.

Relax, You will get a letter in mail stating your Licence number ,and then you get your actual licence in mail within 2 weeks. I gave my boards on 6/18 ans received the letter today 6/28 so you will get in within 4 days.(Counting 10 days period) You can use that letter to apply to any hospital till your licence arrives. Have patience. You know you have passed so have some fun and relax. I did the same ..enjoyed time with my kids.Once you will start working it's getting into routine.We all will be like Hamsters .. :rotfl:

The hospitals in northen jersey start with $27.50 plus $2.50 shift differential. The experience also counts. Some offer bonus and tution reimbursements too. :)

Hello , I'll start working in August as a Medsurg nurse in night shift 7pm-7am. Is anyone working the same shift? Do you really get out at 7:15 in the morning???/ Can you keep awake for WHOLE night? How is the work scenerio? I'll appreciate if you can share your experienceand let me know how to make it easier.I really need to know as I am not a night owl. Any tips to keep the eyes open and remain focused will help me. Waiting to plunge soon.

I'm will be starting with 7pm -7am..So let me understand,I work 2 days one week and 3 days one week??????????I was told I will have to work 3 days every week and may be on weekends? i'm terrorized with the thought of working at night as i'm not a night person but with 2 schoolgoing kids that's my best option now. I don't think I'm ready.I can use some moral support. :)

Please tell me what would be a nursing Diagnosis for a women who had lady partsl first degree laceration during childbirth? My intervention would be actually towards her whole body but I need to be specific. Thanks in advance Healinghand.

Hello Friends. I want to know if any of you belong to the Nursing Student Government in your nursing school.If you do,then what kind of activities do you usually have? Is there anything like peer counselling about courses,how to manage studies and family etc. Does your Student Government participate in any of the state or national confenreces?

About your A&P book,I don't think there is anything like UCC cutomized book. The content is same .If you need some clarification just go to Biology dept and talk to Prof.Dunscomb.He is wonderful and he may even look at the book which you have and OK it. If you really need to know about Nursing course then you must come to Union county Elizabeth Campus and talk to Senior Nursing students.Everyone at Trinitas are more than willing to share the information. Good luck

"Efffective immeidately registration into fundmental nursing course at Trinitas is by invitition only." Due to overwhelming number of people trying to get into Trinitas nursing Program,the school has resorted to new criteria of registration. Complete your credit courses and see to it your GPA is impressive enought o get invited. Good luck to all in line waiting.

Good luck If you already know what books you have to buy,my recommendation is start with Doses Calculations and Medical terminology. Read Perry and Potter like Bible.Everyday. :)

Your prerequisite classes like Bio1 and Bio 2 and Chemistry GPA is for the starting. The minimum GPA requirement is 2.5 So a "C+" in all these subjects can determine your possibilities of getting IN However,the recommendation is that you finish all you prerequisites before actually registering for Nursing classes. At Muhlenberg you can even opt for accelerated if you have a bachelors. Try to keep an average "B" that is 3.0 which can earn you scholarships. Also doing Nursing classes after the prerequsites are done will give you an opportunity to concentrate on clinical aspect and help you to keep up your GPA. Take advise from someone who has already gone through this. I ended up doing almost all prerequisites in summer.Thank god.

Are you BRAND NEW NURSE?? Or a BRAND NEW MESSAGE BOARD USER???

Are they offering any sign up Bonus? Or the Boom in Nursing field is already subsiding? I always look at Employment section for Nursing and see very few advertisements compared to last year. What is the starting pay for a new graduate?

If you did not get a chance to attend the session, try visiting the Elizabeth Campus on August 26,when students will be lining up to register.The line may start at 4:00 A.M. This will give you an idea and this will be like"Ask all you can" and "Get all the answers day " for you. You need to act FAST.And make a personal visit if you want to save some time. Good luck

RN's job is not easy. An alternative for an RN is to opt for a job in a pharmaceutical company as a CRA working at a desk,a typical 9 to 5 job. How much that kind of work can appeal to you? Why?

A nursing student and mother..Hmmmm!!! Pretty combination. I say it to myself loking in mirror whenever I'm leaving for clinicals,wondering how much my family will miss me and I'll miss them. Well The secret is in balancing. They get home cooked meals(Prepared on weekends),due attention and love.Quality Time I should say. Both kids are straight A s.Husband is more than helping. I guess it is the family support and understanding that makes our life as a student much better. My best wishes to all moms and dads who are working hard.

Hi I'm not YET in UMDNJ program but when you start it,I might have questions coming to you related to MSN bridge program.I'm sure you won't mind answering. Good Luck

Just wanted to now if anyone is practicing homeopathy.
