  1. Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

    tyloo replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Josh said it was his first day working on a psychiatric floor. This was a psych patient who told him this who was likely in a very vulnerable state of mind. “Why does everything fall onto...

  2. Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

    tyloo replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you. I read his original post and I remember thinking to myself that he may get into trouble for it. I wouldn’t imagine that he would be fired though. His post was in bad taste....

  3. New Grad as a Clinical Liaison

    tyloo replied to Alison2209's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would hesitate if I were you. This will be your first nursing job and it does not have the direct care component to it. Essentially you may have a hard time moving on from this position in the...

  4. Help! First year new grad can't pick which job to take

    tyloo replied to Amae13's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would say ER if you want to get into critical care. More importantly go with your gut instinct. When you toured the units was there one that you felt more inclined to be at? How was the staff?...

  5. Leaving nursing job after 2 months

    tyloo replied to swimmingfever00's topic in General Nursing

    OP, You said this is your second career, so have you done research before? I would call HR or read the policy online to see if someone in orientation could apply to a different department. I am...

  6. holidays... sick call...

    tyloo replied to imsickagain's topic in General Nursing

    I call out sick for every major holiday that I am scheduled to work. When I return to work everyone greets me with smiles, cookies, and pastries. My boss gives me an apology card and says how wrong...

  7. Struggling NP student in need of advice !

    tyloo replied to pkakar929's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't advocate for, "watering down the NP curriculum or making it as easy as possible." Good luck on your journey of starting grad school

  8. Struggling NP student in need of advice !

    tyloo replied to pkakar929's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You took patho and pharm in the same semester? That is a very large workload! Is that your school's recommended curriculum plan for your program? Plus the summer semester (atleast in my school) is...

  9. USA online np course format

    tyloo replied to HikingNinja's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Very interesting. I finally came across the ANCC certification pass rates for 2012. There were 669 that tested for the Family PMHNP and only 553 passed, so actually the pass rate would be 82.6%....

  10. USA online np course format

    tyloo replied to HikingNinja's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Vanderbilt actually has the pass rates for all the ANCC specialities. The national pass rate is 89% for the family mental health nurse practitioner....

  11. USA online np course format

    tyloo replied to HikingNinja's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    AANP posts pass rates on an annual basis, but 2013 is not posted yet. Pass Rates- AANPCP I could not find any posted pass rates for ANCC on any of their

  12. Truth about UAB NP-FNP program

    tyloo replied to Ms.Kay's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did not go to school for NP, but I went to an online nursing graduate program. Flexibility does not equate to easiness. It is hard. It is time consuming. It is challenging. I am proud that I am...

  13. Anybody feels they still wanna go the CNS route?

    tyloo replied to stepbystep12's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    I wish more hospitals were like yours! Congrats on going back to

  14. Truth about UAB NP-FNP program

    tyloo replied to Ms.Kay's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't think the OP was complaining. She stated UAB is an excellent program, but there were things that did not work for her. This is an informative post for people considering UAB. The strict...

  15. Anybody feels they still wanna go the CNS route?

    tyloo replied to stepbystep12's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    I have searched for positions nationwide and there are many traditional CNS positions. These jobs are speciality based. I see a lot for critical care, oncology, ER, and OR. If you don't practice...

  16. Panic over Patho!

    tyloo replied to masonmoore0824's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There is a lot of content. Some of the test questions are very specific. Like I said before there will be questions that aren't even on the study guide. There will also be points in the study guide...

  17. Panic over Patho!

    tyloo replied to masonmoore0824's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That happens every once in a while. It happened to me with two of my classes if I remembered

  18. Panic over Patho!

    tyloo replied to masonmoore0824's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What do you mean by your section of patho? You have to read the whole entire book. If you want a head start then just start reading chapter one and keep pushing forward. I don't think there are any...

  19. Panic over Patho!

    tyloo replied to masonmoore0824's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Pharmacology and Pathophysiology are open book- not health assessment. The best thing is to tab your book. Tab the study guide points and tab the beginning of the chapters. Really there are so many...

  20. Getting eaten alive at an LTACH...

    tyloo replied to Gamecock73's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    There is more to being a good nurse than starting IVs. I work in LTACH and most patients have PICCS/midlines for a reason. They are difficult to stick. The procedural things like starting IVs and...

  21. Panic over Patho!

    tyloo replied to masonmoore0824's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There is a lot of reading. I read everything at least once. They would give you a test guide. This was just a guide though. Some of the points on the guide you would see on the test and some...

  22. Calling all current cns students

    tyloo replied to nicolein's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Thanks for this reference! How are you doing? Are you finished with

  23. Calling all current cns students

    tyloo replied to nicolein's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Being on the fence- I would say if your primary goal is to provide direct care to patients and to prescribe medicine than go with the FNP. Job opportunities- I think since the CNS is broad you can...

    tyloo replied to Asystole RN's topic in Government, Military

    MyelinSheath. Congrats on finishing your ADN. I enlisted in the ANG at the age of 17. I went through the medic program and when I went home I started my four year BSN program. I also worked as a...

  25. Anyone Going for DNP now or Later??

    tyloo replied to nicolein's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Right now I would say No. I can't speak for the future though. I always wanted my MSN, however I never thought of a doctorate degree. I am the kind of person that will take one day at a time and...
