   Surgical Oncology unit- New Grad

   on eagles wings replied to Kelzp66's topic in Oncology

   So I started on a surgical onc (step down ICU) floor as a new grad too about 3 years ago. You may or may not be giving chemo--my unit wasn't the chemo onc floor. We received actual SURGICAL pts like status post mastectomies, hysterectomies, bowel res...

   Hey, I'll be taking the PCCN In three months. I'm using the AACN book as well as Ahern's. I am listening to ICU rounds by Jeffrey Guy on iTunes and Woodruff's lectures on YouTube. I also have an ICU book or two to supplement. I am on a surgical step...

   on eagles wings replied to pmabraham's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi! First of all, I wanted to say I really appreciate you for wanting to learn another language. I think it's great when people make this decision as it opens up their world so much! I am a native spanish speaker although I was born in south Florida....

   What is a surgical-oncology floor like?

   on eagles wings replied to hakunamatata's topic in Med-Surg

   Hi there. Congrats on your job offer! I've been working on a large surgical unit for a year now and let me tell you it is extremely stressful. We are, according to floats, the most stressful unit in the hospital. We are a medium sized teaching hospit...

   NP vs PA vs CNS

   on eagles wings replied to OriolesMagic's topic in Advanced

   Making fun???? Where was I making fun??? I was correcting him, where was I making fun? Are you serious? I clearly pointed out where he was wrong, I think, fairly. Because one does not think like you does not mean I am being mean. You are the one call...

   NP vs PA vs CNS

   on eagles wings replied to OriolesMagic's topic in Advanced

   No, I am not an NP, I'm an RN. I don't know how much you read but I was clearly comparing RN's to PA's because DIVOBARI was the first to say they are practically the same thing. I even quoted it. Of course they are not the same thing. You are complet...

    NP vs PA vs CNS

    on eagles wings replied to OriolesMagic's topic in Advanced

    I'm replying to Divobari2's post, where, if I am not mistaken, makes it sounds like PA's just "do more technical things" than RNs but have the same level of education. But I just realized he/she is from Germany. I don't know what the PA model is like...

    NP vs PA vs CNS

    on eagles wings replied to OriolesMagic's topic in Advanced

    Oh no no no. Very incorrect, I am sorry. First of all, getting your certificate, Associates, Bachelor's or Masters in PA Studies is the SAME. They take the same coursework, except Master's may take extra elective rotations (Rural medicine, tropical ...

    MSN-NP or PA?

    on eagles wings replied to ryonel's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would do PA if I were you. I don't see the point of getting your RN to become an NP. Your experience is real competitive for PA programs, you would just need some LORs and I think you could get into a program easily :) good luck

    Not sure if I want to stay in the nursing field...in desperate need of advice.

    on eagles wings replied to LPN709's topic in Career

    To slinkyheadcna, I knew since 2nd or 3rd semester I would probably hate nursing but felt stuck since I had already made so many sacrifices to get in. Now that I have been an RN for 7-8 months, I regret getting into nursing altogether. You don't have...
