    GM2RN replied to jennifers's topic in Ob/Gyn

  3. do you get paid more for certifications?

    GM2RN replied to jennifers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I figured it was a certification, but since there are many, I'm not always familiar with those outside my specialty area. I was asking what the letters stood for. Thanks for supplying the general...

  4. differences between PA and NP?

    GM2RN replied to magichospital's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't entirely disagree. But I think it depends on the experience that a nurse has had relevant to the specialty that they practice in as an NP. What is more relevant, however, is that nursing...

  5. Will I ever keep up the pace???

    GM2RN replied to Traum-a-Rama's topic in Emergency

    What you are experiencing is normal, and WonderRN did a good job of laying it out for you. Give yourself at least 6 months to 1 year to start to get really comfortable, but realize that even when you...

  7. do you get paid more for certifications?

  9. Being prepared

    GM2RN replied to twinduff's topic in General Nursing

    GM2RN replied to abcdefg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  11. differences between PA and NP?

    GM2RN replied to magichospital's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What kind of "significant healthcare experience" do you mean? I know some PAs have been nurses, but the requirements for the PA programs that I have seen include that of phlebotomists, MAs, CNAs, and...

  12. How much debt is reasonable for NP school?

    GM2RN replied to junipers's topic in Advanced Practice

    There's actually more available right now due to Obama Care funding. Check with individual schools to see what they have available. I know of one that is covering 100% of tuition plus money for...

  13. New nurse, need some more info on ER

    GM2RN replied to CalidthreeN's topic in Emergency

    In my ED, ratios are 5:1, 6:1, or 8:1 depending on the assignment. We have only 1 tech for days or nights. During our busiest hours, the tech is usually tied up primarily with transport, either with...

  18. Do FNP's really make 80k to 90k a year?

    GM2RN replied to mariposabella's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  19. Electronic MAR?

    GM2RN replied to MelissaLPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Oh, ok. My hospital has these too, just not with the med drawers in the ED, obviously. But I have no idea if they keep track of when the meds are given with the ones on the floors. I wonder if it's...

    GM2RN replied to Corey Narry's topic in Post Graduate Students

    This thread was started 4 years ago but is even more relevant now, and asks some questions that I would love to see answers to. Hopefully, bumping it up will generate some fresh discussion on the...

  24. Work load question.

    GM2RN replied to Chemistry Sux's topic in General Nursing

    I work in the ED and have never been cancelled or sent home early, and I never will. I work for a union hospital and staffing has been negotiated in the contract. My shift is from 5P-5A. What that...

  25. Venting about job search...Has anyone experienced this?

    GM2RN replied to rnnow09's topic in General Nursing
