I am suppose to do an interview with an advanced practice nurse and I personally do not know any. If any can help it would be greatly appreciated! The questions are posted below! Advanced Practice Title___________________________________________ Gra...

Thank you soooo much for your help! I am a full time nurse going to school full time and I just didn't have the time to try and find someone I didn't know to answer the questions. I really appreciate it!

Does anyone know for sure any colleges that let you do both the CNM and WHNP together, or at least let you certified in both. For instance, I have found one college that when you do the CNM program, all you need is one more class and you can get your...

Although having a break in between shifts can be a relief, I often find it better to just do the three days in a row, especially with night shift. Working night shift already is a nuisance in itself because you are out of sync with a normal sleep/wak...

I am a new nurse and the facility that I work at uses the McKesson program to do our charting and for those of you not familiar, we chart by exception. I love this type of charting because it cuts out alot of things but I am also concerned because it...

So I graduated at the end of last month and my school just sent our transcripts to the board on the 3rd. So obviously, I don't have a test date set just yet. I feel like I really need to start studying a lot, but I'm finding it really hard to study w...

As a last semester nursing student I was applying to whatever position I could. I've always been one of those who wanted to work in OB. It was the subject area I succeeded the most in and it is just simply my passion. I had precepted on a medical flo...

Okay fellow nurses, this is a health question related to myself. I thought someone might be able to help. I had the MMR vaccine as a child... About 4 years ago when I was pregnant, my doctor had blood drawn and I was told that I would need an MMR boo...

I have decided to take the 8 am slot closer to my home. I am going to drive over the night before so I can find where I am suppose to be going and staying in a hotel the night before. I have decided to do this because being able to think before a tes...

I graduated RN school in December and have finally received my ATT. I was wanting to schedule my testing date for about 4 weeks from now. The only problem is that every test date only have time slots for 8am. I am NOT a morning person. Should I go ah...

On a med/surg floor, you'll be seeing alot of postoperative patients which would be the "surg" part and with the "med" part, think along the lines of pneumonia, copd exacerbations, kidney failure, pancreatitis exacerbation, etc... just any medical co...

Also, on the first one, I chose B. I chose this answer because all of the other three answers were dealing with cancer related issues that the oncology nurses would be use to seeing, and B was dealing with pain assessment and the such which every nur...

Ive dealt with this issue several times in the last two years, but if we were able to show them in the book why we chose a certain answer, than most of the time we got that point back. I think that with our school, this stems from instructors not mak...

I AM!!! I am SO ready for graduation that I cannot even stand it... Every time I see the first semester nursing students at my school, I feel so much empathy yet so much relief that its not me anymore lol. No offense to the first semesters considerin...

Okay, so I live in a larger town that has two hospitals.. I worked at one during nursing school as a nurse assistant and I have put in my request for transfer earlier this week for a graduate nurse position and am waiting to hear back. I also have ap...

Thanks for the reply! I haven't had many interviews in my life, and none for an RN position. That is one of the areas I feel I struggle with, ESPECIALLY when its time for me to ask questions. I don't really know questions to ask, especially when they...

Nicely said HouTX!! Awesome advice for the future :)

Wow, that is what I make as a nurse assistant right now... I know some hospitals in my area that even pay nurse assistant's more than 10 an hour... I'm in nursing school, and if that's what I have to look forward to, then what was the point in going ...

I am a new grad that had worked on a surgical floor during nursing school. I just applied for transfer to a GN position on a cardiac progressive floor, and my manager even has given the manager of the floor a good word for me. It seems as though this...

I think that there really are TONS of nursing jobs to be had, I just think more and more facilities are not hiring nurses when they should be. I've heard so many nurses talk about how short they are of nurses on various floors but they're just not hi...

I don't really see a problem with cameras as long as they are used appropriately. For instance, would they really have cameras in bathrooms like one poster said???? That's just ridiculous.. and a privacy issue. I also heard from a fellow nursing stud...

In my opinion, I would say go for you ADN first, then get your Bachelor's degree. I only say this because nursing school for 2 years is stressful enough, by the time your halfway mark comes up in a 4 year program, your gonna wish you would've bridged...

I will be graduating from nursing school in December of this year so I have begun to apply to different positions at different hospitals. I have applied through the various hospitals online application system. I was thinking that I could go ahead and...

So, my class has recently started back up for our final semester, and this semester we have an instructor that we had our first semester as well. As soon as we started back, we went head first into Advance Medsurg clinicals with no refresher days in ...
