  1. My parents don't want me to become nurse but I don't care anymore

    nutella replied to JayLuv108's topic in General Nursing

    All nurses are leaders in my opinion.... You do not just follow orders blindly or do what the doctor tells you to do. Nursing is very different from medical school. Physicians orient themselves...

  2. Do I have to get my masters?

    nutella replied to PrincessAlexis's topic in General Nursing

    There is some glorification of the nurse practitioner role, which is perceived by many as a highly desired role. However, when this comes from nurses, they are usually dissatisfied and disenchanted...

  4. ER GN Quitting Smoking - Any tips?

    nutella replied to AlmostERnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I smoked hardcore 2 packs a day for few years. I tried a couple of times to quit but was not successful. When I was still in nursing school, I decided to quit cold turkey. It is an addiction for a...

    nutella replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    OP: There are a couple of things to consider when you look at what happened. They dynamics of social interaction can be very "interesting" in the hospital setting. 1.Dynamics due to age difference -...

  7. New nurse feeling hopeless

    nutella replied to Katastrophe's topic in General Nursing

    This and your previous long post make me think that your mental health problems contribute a lot to how you handle or feel that you can't handle stress/ new job. You write that it is the other way...

  8. What would you do?

    nutella replied to BerryhappyRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I left middle management and went into community nursing / home palliative and hospice care and now work for a palliative care team in a community hospital. The money was good in middle management but...

  9. New nurse feeling hopeless

    nutella replied to Katastrophe's topic in General Nursing

    I think there are several things going on. One is that you are new to the job and just off orientation - I would say that it takes at least 6 months to get somewhat the hang of it and for the first...

  10. Older nurses

    nutella replied to poopylala's topic in General Nursing

    From my observation of working as a nurse for more than 20 years and now moving towards the age of 50 I find that most nurses on high traffic/ high workload floors including med/surg and all...

  11. Would you be content if you worked your current job/specialty for the rest of your career?

    nutella replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I am a very lucky nurse - I work for an palliative care consultation team in a hospital and our team is very supportive of each other plus I love what I am doing. Yes, I am content and would be...

  12. Communication w facilities

    nutella replied to aphillipi's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I think this is a very common issue nowadays because 1. people hear what they want to hear 2. everybody is pushing their own agenda. What I ran into frequently for a while was assisted living and...

  13. What Can I Do With A BSN? (Without a license).

    nutella replied to Chloe Price's topic in General Nursing

    I think you must have gotten better with your second NCLEX test because you had to go through many questions, which means that it was not so clear if you are able to practice as a nurse or not - the...

  14. They want me to be an RN

    nutella replied to AspiringMD585's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The short answer is "no" it does not make sense. Nursing and medical school are very different and a BSN prepares for nursing. You seem to be having a lot of problems plus everything is mixed up. Here...

  15. BSN RN to DNP/ PhD/MSN with NP specialties

    nutella replied to Plumrose15153's topic in Post Graduate Students

    A DNP is a clinical doctorate while the PhD is a research and teaching degree that focuses heavily on creating new knowledge/research. DNP have some basic knowledge about research an teaching but...

  16. Communication w facilities

    nutella replied to aphillipi's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Could you elaborate on the kind of issue - and are you a hospice nurse? Good communication can be a challenge between hospice and SNF/ALF because of the constant issue related to role boundaries and...

  17. Palliative Care on Med Surg Floor

    nutella replied to Tgeagle83's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    The method of symptom control needs to be appropriate and proportional to the symptom severity. What that means is that some patients achieve acceptable symptom control by receiving medication...

  18. Why is Neudexta not covered?

    nutella replied to doggal's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    As others already pointed out - it is very expensive. A hospice is paid a "flat rate" per day, which has to cover everything from nursing care to equipment and medications, the other team members and...

  19. Am I nuts for leaving a job I love?

    nutella replied to coffeetalker's topic in General Nursing

    What about working per diem or per visit for any other hospice agency if there are any in your area in addition to your job? Working on a medsurg floor is very different from hospice/ home care. Or...

  20. New Grad ICU Residency w/o ICU capstone?

    nutella replied to baleen's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would say that most students do not end up in the ICU during their senior year. Also, there is a difference between an ICU in a major teaching hospital and an ICU at a community hospital. In a...

  21. Is nursing REALLY that difficult?

    nutella replied to lilythorburn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say "it depends". Personally, I am still very happy and satisfied with working as a nurse but I left the traditional bedside nursing job years ago because bedside nursing in major teaching...

  22. Should I stay or should I go

    nutella replied to buckgirl80's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't you apply to critical care?? It sounds like you are working in some kind of strange CDU / procedural unit. If you like patient contact and do not wish to sit in an office, perhaps going to...

  23. Headed back to school - Need feedback!

    nutella replied to YourFavoriteMurse's topic in General Nursing

    All three of them are leadership including the DNP (not NP role) ? If that is the case, personally I would choose the MSN option with the concentration because even if you decide on stopping after...
