  1. Called in tonight; I know I'm in trouble...

    PMHNP10 replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    Although I do have some sympathy with mgmt. (:chair: but believe me, it's only about || this much) because unless someone is desparate for money, finding masochists who want to willingly torture...

  2. Changed My Mind

    PMHNP10 replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I got cheated out of my 5 minute time limit to edit.... I wanted to add: I agree, sitting in a classroom for 1, 2, 3, 4 hrs while some instructor lectures at me is incredibly inefficient....

  3. Changed My Mind

    PMHNP10 replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I promise there is no confustion whatsoever on my part, so let me clarify so you can understand what I'm saying... I'm not referring to clinical in any way. UT-H set up their programs to have core...

  4. Changed My Mind

    PMHNP10 replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ahhhhh...excellent, an issue I never considered; for the most part, I have enjoyed the nurses I've worked with too; so what you're saying is that you don't get together with your MD colleagues for a...

  5. Are 2 year nurses getting phased out?

    PMHNP10 replied to mack7580's topic in General Nursing

  6. Changed My Mind

    PMHNP10 replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    AMEN!!! I'm hitting OT all over the place in this thread, but I can't help it. I do apologize to the OP. So re: the quote above, that is my concern as well. I think online NP programs are a...

  7. Changed My Mind

    PMHNP10 replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    funny because while earning my first bachelor degree (in psych; early-mid '90s) I was a pre-med student; I went to a private university of about 12,000 students; about one third of the entering...

  8. Changed My Mind

    PMHNP10 replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    this thread is troubling in a sense--I read a lot of disappointed accounts, but no details why it isn't as rewarding as you had hoped why are folks not particularly happy with their career as a NP? I...

  9. Above and Beyond Scope

    PMHNP10 replied to gingersdad's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm not an endocrinologist or dietician, but since you gave something that should help give a quick boost to the blood glucose, wouldn't it have been better for the CNA to give something that might...

  11. No Inpatient Psych RN positions available, now what?

    PMHNP10 replied to spirit08's topic in General Nursing

  12. Bye Bye Discovery Health

    PMHNP10 replied to amya215's topic in General Nursing

    ewwwwww...Ellen...she's equally nauseating IMHO; she put an adoption agency out of business because of her influence and sense of entitlement---so if you get 9 different dogs and all of them are...

  13. I am getting terminated tomarrow

    PMHNP10 replied to nl2005's topic in General Nursing

    and there is also the option of quitting; if you are absolutely positive you are gonna get terminated you could give your resignation so you don't have to report that you got fired; or maybe start...

  14. under the influence at work/sleeping on the job

    PMHNP10 replied to cafenurse1112's topic in General Nursing

    As a RN (forgive me if my assumption is incorrect), isn't it your duty to report the use of narcotics by a health care provider while on duty? I don't think it's up to you to determine whether the...

  15. No Inpatient Psych RN positions available, now what?

    PMHNP10 replied to spirit08's topic in General Nursing

    unless you are tied to your home, perhaps look into psych nurse

  16. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    PMHNP10 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    As sooooooo many others have said, except I'll put it as only I can...Hell will freeze over before the BSN becomes the mandatory entry into nursing. Having said that, I do strongly believe there...

    PMHNP10 replied to BrittRN2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    I cannot help you much because I went through UT-H's RN-BSN program, but what I can say is that by choosing that school, I believe you have the opportunity to take up to 11 hrs of grad classes as an...

  20. Being an ADVOCATE for a less than helpful coworker

    PMHNP10 replied to missnurse1's topic in General Nursing

    Kudos to you for taking a stand, but what kind of martyr like behavior was occuring on your floor that allowed this person to get away with her most inappropriate behavior for as long as she did? I...

  21. Bye Bye Discovery Health

    PMHNP10 replied to amya215's topic in General Nursing

  22. Entire ER crew will go to mandatory retreat

    PMHNP10 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    PMHNP10 replied to daisybaby's topic in Activism, Healthcare
