  1. PRN but haven't worked in 8 months!

    GM2RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If you are indeed inactive, but would still like to work there and they are willing to make that happen, I'd be proactive in getting shifts there. It wouldn't hurt to call them at least once a week...

  2. Calling to follow-up

    GM2RN replied to sbostonRN's topic in General Nursing

    One of the best threads I have ever seen on this forum was from someone who had just gotten a job as a new grad and posted to let others know how she did it. Here's the link:...

  3. Questions about ENPC?

    GM2RN replied to hiddencatRN's topic in Emergency

    "Large" is a relative term. Besides, it's presumptuous at the least for someone to judge what another person can

  4. Need help to convince parents!

    GM2RN replied to NateH's topic in General Nursing

    The part about the GPA is a good point, and I'd like to add that even though you may not have any intentions of pursuing an advanced degree right now, things have a way of changing. In 5, 10, or even...

  5. Male nurses hired faster?

    GM2RN replied to Chemistry Sux's topic in General Nursing

    You said yourself that you would have given the female your "honest feelings," and that's the way I feel. It's not the fact that you asked the question. It's the motivation for asking, the place you...

  6. Male nurses hired faster?

    GM2RN replied to Chemistry Sux's topic in General Nursing

    What makes you think you didn't get honest answers??? I don't think they could have been any more

  7. Need help to convince parents!

    GM2RN replied to NateH's topic in General Nursing

    I can second this. I intended to go the ADN route, then get my BSN while working. But nursing is a second career for me. I was out of a job with bills to pay and I couldn't afford to wait 2-3 years...

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

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

    Thanks so much for the information. You confirmed some things that I suspected but didn't really know for

  9. Male nurses hired faster?

    GM2RN replied to Chemistry Sux's topic in General Nursing

    I've never worked in medical sales, so I have to accept your comments. But I'm sure you can find those attributes in many other professions as well, and I'm sure even some females have acquired them....

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

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

    Thank you for that information! That's pretty darn good. Am I understanding correctly that you were an employee of the hospital and not a physician? I'm planning to start my NP program in January....

  11. Pay rate is significantly higher...

    GM2RN replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    You called these facilities and probably spoke with HR, who wouldn't know you from Adam, not asking the person who was actually interviewing you DURING the interview...different altogether. I...

  12. Male nurses hired faster?

    GM2RN replied to Chemistry Sux's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmmmm..I wonder how guys would feel if a woman posted the same question to them in male dominated professions. But we don't have to worry about that happening, do

  13. Hiring outlook for ADN vs. BSN in your town?

    GM2RN replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    The REAL difference with BSN vs ADN, relative to the OP's question, is that some employers WILL NOT HIRE YOU, won't even interview you, without a BSN. They don't care how good you are at IVs and...

  14. Hiring outlook for ADN vs. BSN in your town?

    GM2RN replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I see. That makes a little more sense. Still seems like a lot of money

  15. Hiring outlook for ADN vs. BSN in your town?

    GM2RN replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    80 grand??? That's some expensive program, even for a university! Do you have any other university

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

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

    What specialty were you in when practicing in Michigan, and how much experience did you have at the

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

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

    Glad to see that SOMEBODY has a sense of

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

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

    In your "personal" opinion. (and I already know that what I wrote is

  19. Nurse Practitioner vs. Medical School, subjects covered?

    GM2RN replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Nursing Career

    Nobody said there was anything WRONG with the OP asking questions. However, the OP is only 17 and I sense that she needs help beyond what she can get from simply from asking questions in this forum....

  20. Am I selfish for going back to school?

    GM2RN replied to nancypants's topic in General Nursing

    Here's a counter point from another member in a different thread on a different topic, but still totally applicable to this

  21. Nurse Practitioner vs. Medical School, subjects covered?

    GM2RN replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Nursing Career

    Ok, but I still think you would benefit from talking with a counselor at school. Good luck.

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

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

    Can we say, "over the

  23. Nurse Practitioner vs. Medical School, subjects covered?

    GM2RN replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Nursing Career

    OP: Linearthinker's post made me check your stats. You have started 41 threads in just over 3 months! You seem to be all over the place and quite anxious about your future. Yes, do shadow some...

  24. Pay rate is significantly higher...

    GM2RN replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's a perfectly reasonable question. You just never know when you are dealing with someone who is "old

  25. Nurse Practitioner vs. Medical School, subjects covered?

    GM2RN replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Nursing Career

    I can't really answer your question about MD vs PhD for research purposes, but you do get more in depth A&P classes in NP school. I will also never forget a particular NP during one clinical...
