    lweatherby replied to sallyjane's topic in General Nursing

  5. I feel like I missed out... can anyone give me advice?

    lweatherby replied to Thanksforadvice's topic in General Nursing

    You shouldn't feel insecure or bad about asking for help. It is always safer to have two people when you are transferring. It is better for the patient to have two people when turning patients and...

  7. UPenn phone interview for MSN program

    lweatherby replied to lweatherby's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It only took a week. They were very prompt. My interviewer told me if I did not hear back in two weeks to send them an email. But that was not necessary. What program are you applying for? I will...

  8. Any hospital hiring new grads? anywhere in the country?

    lweatherby replied to zefutebolera's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I know they prefer BSN, but not sure if they hire ADNs as new grads. All of the new grads hired since I have been there have been BSNs. However, that may not be true for every

    Darn it!!! Scrubs are so comfortable! Thanks for the input and for the ideas for shoes. As a floor nurse, I wear Keen hiking shoes and I LOVE them. That's not going to work with business

  13. New nurse getting eaten alive

    lweatherby replied to JSlice.'s topic in First Year After Licensure

    Unfortunately, you will encounter negative people no matter where you work. How quickly we forget how it is to be a new nurse! I cannot understand how an experienced nurse can be anything less than...

    lweatherby replied to nicunewgrad's topic in Post Graduate Students

    HeartRN - I pm'd you with my gpa/experience. As far as the GRE..... I didn't submit any scores with my initial application and they never asked for them. I am thinking that if they feel they need...

    lweatherby replied to nicunewgrad's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I already have a BSN and was accepted into the ANP/GNP dual certification program for 2011. I haven't found a site that gives the gpa/gre/experience stats. I know a few of the programs require some...

  17. UPenn phone interview for MSN program

    lweatherby replied to lweatherby's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It was not nearly as stressful as I thought it would be. I was not asked questions that tested my nursing knowledge. The questions were about why I wanted to attend UPenn and what I planned to do...

    lweatherby replied to MystyqueOne's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I can only speak from my experience as a new grad BSN. I too thought that I wanted to go straight through to a FNP program. I applied to the FNP program through the school were I received my BSN and...

    lweatherby replied to LookForward's topic in General Nursing

    My thoughts..... find a part-time job and go back to school. I am a new grad as well and I know the stress of learing on the job at a hospital. I have a BSN and initially thought that I would...

    lweatherby replied to lindseyjaneRN's topic in General Nursing

    lweatherby posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Is there anyone out there who is a GNP? Are you happy with your choice to become a GNP or do you think it would have been better to do ANP or FNP? I have been a nurse for a couple of years. Nursing...

    I don't want to work on a hospital hospice team. My preference would be to work in nursing homes, inpatient hospice or in-home hospice. I am doing prn work at an inpatient hospice and I love
