The university in which I completed my BSN offers an MSN in FNP and CNS and I am ready to continue my education. Here is my dilemma: From my understanding, the FNP is incredibly competitive. I...
I just graduated and I must say... As far as the printer goes, my dad bought me this big, giant canon printer/scanner/copier (and I think fax also?) that only prints black and white... At first I...
Did you ever get your questions answered? Because I'm wondering the same thing now! I have lived in TN all of my life but went to nursing school in AR. Well, now it's time to go back to TN, and Im...
Mr.DNP23 I worked as an ICU tech for 2 years as well. On our unit the techs doubled as the unit secretary (ours only worked like M-F 8-5!), so we would admit new patients & put their charts...
From what I gathered from working in a hospital (Im only a senior BSN student but worked as a CNA also), there is no difference. Others (coworkers, physicians, etc) would not even know if you are a...

I think this just depends on the individual person! I worked as a PCT for only 8 hrs a week for 2 of the yrs and was ok. But senior year came along and knocked me on my bottom! I always felt faced...
I've noticed a lot of my instructors have not worked in a hospital for years and years as well. It surprises me, since healthcare is ALWAYS changing. But my school is very big on "evidence based...
It's not so much that I expect ppl to "pay me back". I just feel as if I have been bending over backwards to help my friends out and when I ask for help I get stupid, smart alek-y comments in return-...
In case anyone was actually wondering.. I basically had my breaking point today with these "friends" They are always on me; "Do we have a quiz? do we have a test? whats due? Wanna get together &...
I actually practiced NCLEX questions for the first test (and I read the book) and I made an 82, which ended up being higher than some of my friends that normally make straight A's... But for this past...
