Sounds like the peeps that work in the office are overworked but wondering how the NPs feel about the company?? How are the hours, etc?? The recruiter makes it sound like gravy but we all know how that goes. LOL. Thanks for your feedback!

Did you ever call them and find out??

I'm starting clinicals for Adult NP-Geron in the fall at The University of South Alabama. So excited! I was FNP and decided this semester it wasn't for me so I switched. I'm desperate to get back to school. LOL. Bored out of my mind!

OK> Don't get me wrong:uhoh3: I'm not saying as an NP you don't do those things! Just not quite as much. You do more of the things that the initial poster states she loves about her job. YOu never ever get away from doing the small tasks (which BTW are sometimes the "BIG" things to our 90 YO's that haven't pooped in 4 days) in a healthcare setting. Hell, I make my docs help me with the bedpans if they're the closest things I can grab. LOL!

You can actually do a AS to NP degree through my school, I believe. University of South Alabama.

I'm going to say that you should make the change before you get burnt out. Either change to HH or Hospice or choose to continue your education and go on to get your NP. I'm in NP school and I honestly understand why you feel the way you do. I felt the same way! I then decided it was time to make a change. As an NP, you still have the time to spend and educate your patients and you don't have to worry about the small stuff. You know what I mean? I pray you have peace with whatever direction you go in life. Nursing is such a fulfilling profession. Don't give up on us yet!

Yikes! I just wrote a paper on the DNP. I can't figure out if I'm for or against it.. LOL... I think it makes me nervous thinking we may have to get it in the long run... I was hoping to be done w school. hahaha

I'd believe it. I'm in the FNP program at USA and I applied super early. I love it!!!

Oh I hope it's the interview!!!;)

I'm applying to Sam Merritt in Dec. I have some questions for you. Please send a private message. I would REALLY appreciate it!!!

I am going to comment on this without even reading all the comments because I've never understood this. Why is it when nurses get pulled to other units or floors they always get the crap assignment and nobody helps each other? Nurses are all there together! Everyone's job would be so much easier if we helped each other out! I don't understand why this is so hard to figure out. Sorry, it's my pet peeve..._ Me stepping off my soapbox.... Everyone needs to learn about team work and realize that we all get pulled and everyone needs help. Karma people...Karma. What goes around, comes around....

I'm a fairly new nurse (9 months) and I thought it was funny.....:)

I love the scrub nurse thing!!! ha ha ha!!

I love it!!!!

I was just wondering what kind of qualifications do you have that your boss would ask you to develop this policy? I can understand if maybe they asked you for your input, but to develop it???? I think that if you are developing this it would be best to consult mds that are more qualified when it comes to the care of mechanically ventilated patients. This is not meant to be demeaning to you but to ask you to be more specific about the development of your facilities policies and procedures.
