Amazing. Now I'm soon to start clinicals.

Yes, Bates. A good read indeed. Thanks.

Much appreciated. Thanks for the response.

My on campus course is approaching, Advanced Health Assessment, I don't know exactly why I'm so nervous. Any word's of advice from those who already took this course? Thank you in advanced.

Congrats! I'm curious to know how many years of RN experience before the FNP journey?

Understood. Thanks. Guess its safe to say, I'll be experiencing the "novice" feeling again. Thanks for weighing in with your responses.

I'm hearing mixed opinions on this topic. Some swear "yes" and some say experience as an RN will not help. The claim is RN and NP is completely different. Would love to hear from the practicing NPs. I just want to make sure I follow the appropriate advice. Thank you!

A rep came and spoke with us during the orientation. And this is when everything was explained. And when I learned of this "union." I'm new to all this. Perhaps it could of been failure on my part for not fully researching the Hospital prior to applying. Anyhow, I have no issues in joining but just wanted clarification if this was legal.

Ok. No problem. Was just curious as to whether or not this was true information. Just never heard of not having an option or choice. Well thank you for your time and answering my question.

I did not. I learned this during my orientation. So the news is recent.

It is a unionized workplace. Not sure about the question, "is this a new position?" I'm at a new facility. New employee. And my knowledge is very limited on understanding unions. And side note, the dues totalling for the year just seem so high.

I'm being led to believe that I have no choice but to join my workplace union. True or false?

Nice! But yeah, I wouldn't qualify.

When starting your shift, how do you organize yourself to be able to flow smoothly throughout the day? Just worked my first offical week on the floor and just want to learn a better way. When to start charting? Immediately after doing my assessments? Or assess, v/s, and then medication admin and then chart. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Helpful information. And that's what I'll do. We have a scheduler and I'm told they're flexible. I will ask. Thanks again.
