My question is to all the NP's and those with MSN's, did any of you achieve a degree through an online program? If so how was it? Did you find it difficult or easier than traditional class work? Which online program did you go with? How long after ge...

It has been over 6 years now since taken my boards, and yes thank goodness it is a very distant memory, or nightmare lol. And some day you will be able to say the same. Good Luck!

I am also new to night shift on pp/nursery and find myself really hating it, I started out on occassional work force orienting on days and absolutely loved it, I love ob and love the hospital, I accepted a 24 hour night shift position and am having a...

I have been in homecare for approx one year now, but it has never been my true love/passion. I would love to go from homecare to ob, but no one around here (Massachusetts) will hire without experience. What should I do? Is it too late for me? Shoul...

I have seen ob patients in the homecare setting as well as newborns and premature infants. I occas do heel sticks and a variety of other skilled visits, sometimes those patients are few and far and then other times plenty. The problem is that I took ...

I am interested and found an NP program at the same university I graduated from. The school has an Adult NP course. My question is if after going through the adult program can I practice as a Family NP or do I need special certification for that? Als...

Anyone know of any NICU's hiring in Mass or RI? Women and Infants HR told me they are not hiring until June. I have been trying to get into this hospital for a year now and have had no luck. The HR department is awful to deal with. And the Boston hos...

How would I do that? I did visit the web page and do not see any positions posted for NICU. The hospital is only about 45 minutes from my house. Do you know anything about pay etc. If they hire without experience, I guess it would benefit me to look ...

Well, my lower back was the problem at the time. But, since then I have lost 70lbs, starting working out, and went through therapy. I now know my limits, like when not to stretch across a patient's bed to get to an IV{something that I did during clin...

I have been a nurse for almost 2 years now. I have worked as a school nurse, did flu clinics, spent a short time on post partum[had to leave r/t health reasons] and now home health/private duty for past 8 months. I like home health and plan on keepin...

Thinking about taking a job on surgical floor, 7p-7a. Does anyone like this shift? How long does it take to get use to? Any problems on days off? Are the 12's harder to work? Thanks to all who reply

As a new grad, I have seen some scary nurse-patient ratio's. Does anyone ever feel like they could loose there license working under such conditions? And if so how do you deal with it? I worked very hard to get my license, as did everyone else, and I...

Sounds very interesting, Thanks for the info :)

The hours range from 8:10 to 2:30, or 8:40 to 3:00. I am not sure how they are going to pay yet. I'm hoping it is just for the months working, so I can get a better pay check. But, you do have to have a BSN in order to work for the school department....

Just start working in a public school, and loving it I met up with someone at a flu clinic who gave me the inside scoop on a position, you never know where you will meet a contact for a job, forget the help wanted :chuckle lol. Anyway, I also hope t...

How did you complete your clinical rotations?

Oh well, it sure beats working your ......off, and killing your back in a hospital setting, just to make more money. There's more to life than money, like happiness, and feeling well. 32,000 for only 8 months of work, at 6.5 hours/day is not bad at a...

I live in Mass, and was offered a position only working for the rest of the school year at a little over 32,000. I guess that is not too bad huh?

Just to have less stress would be worth the pay cut. Not to mention, not having to work weekends and holidays!!!!!!!!

Just got back from a clinic. It was supose to start at 3:00pm, and people starting waiting at 10:00 am. When I first got there, people were already yelling because all the numbers had been given out, and they did not get one. Talk about mass hysteria...

WOW!!!!!!! GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!! Hat's off to you for standing up to the MAN!!!!!!!!!!! :balloons: :balloons:

Hang in there, once you get thing's going, it is not so bad. :) First have them fill out the paper work ahead of time, then when they get to you, you can just ask them about allergies, give the shot, and send them off, or have them stick around for 1...

Hi All, I am experiencing a great dilema. Here is my story. After getting my license, I was fortunate enough to get a job in Maternity. When I was hierd, the nurse manager told me that she needed me for L&D, which I was very excited about. Howeve...

Thanks anyway :) I really just want the rest of the hours that they owe me, so I can move on with my life. I did not sign anything stating the facts. I am going to fill out the exit interview and tell them exactly what I think about their company. :a...

First of all how would one get hierd for such a position? And second would working as a nurse in 3 different child care settings be considered public health nursing?
