  1. Brian Short News

    NightAngelle replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Condolences to the staff, friends, and family of Brian Short. I've been a member here for a very long time. It was this site that helped me to decide which career path to take, where to complete...

  2. The hospitalist dilemma

    NightAngelle replied to sauce's topic in Advanced Practice

    As an RN, I've worked ER for 6 years and critical care for 9. As a newly graduated FNP, I have accepted a job as a hospitalist/intensivist. I DO plan on returning for post-master's certs in acute...

  3. Recently failed ANCC n AANP

    NightAngelle replied to Marie81's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you have a solid knowledge base, you will be able to pick out what questions are wrong. There are a few formatting errors throughout the text as well, but again...if you are reading and...

  4. What is/was your job going through grad school?

    NightAngelle replied to 403RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I currently work 20 hours a week in critical care (PRN)....but I go to school full time. Right now my schedule, because I can essentially walk into my unit and choose my hours, are 7p-7a on Sunday,...

  5. What supplies needed for FNP school :)

    NightAngelle replied to BeeGeeRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    A Keurig!! OMG....it's been the absolute best thing I could have ever bought. Liquid motivation (in the form of black tea or coffee) has been great for those all-night paper writing/study sessions....

  6. Anyone working night shift and going to school

    NightAngelle replied to teelatice15's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I work night shift in CCU. Before I began NP school (I go full time), I dropped to per diem, but I average 24 hours a week. I'm on my husband's insurance, so that helps. I also have two boys (11...

  9. Hospital paying for NTI? Really?

    NightAngelle posted a topic in Critical Care

    Sooo...I'm hearing some of ya'lls hospitals are paying for NTI. My hospital (in South Alabama) is not paying for jack. As a matter of fact, we aren't even getting raises this year. Let my hospital...

  10. Planning to get RN, should I get my BSN?

    NightAngelle replied to TiffCNA's topic in General Nursing

    Check out the BSN in 10 initiative. http://www.americannursetoday.com/article.aspx?id=5272&fid=5244 Here is my first tip as an ex-ADN, now BSN. Don't do anything just because anyone else has...

    NightAngelle posted a topic in General Nursing

    We added four nurses? Way to go NURSES! I think I will start small. Just become a VOTING member of my state

  15. Hospital paying for NTI? Really?

    NightAngelle replied to NightAngelle's topic in Critical Care

    And that makes perfect sense....mileage may vary according to hospital. I can respect giving nurses the time off even if the nurses have to absorb their own cost. Here, we may get time off to go, or...

  16. University South Alabama DNP - Review anyone??

    NightAngelle replied to BrandybunsRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I work with a couple of people who are (or were) in the USA FNP program...don't know about DNP though. Haven't heard anything favorable,

  17. EVERYONE is going for NP these days

    NightAngelle replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I live in the Southeast (Alabama, more specifically), and I am currently working alongside 3 NPs in my CCU. There are a couple out on the floors. In this area, the market for NPs is saturated, and...

  18. Why aren't there better incentives for obtaining a BSN degree?

    NightAngelle replied to labelle777's topic in General Nursing

    AMEN!! We as a professional body are failing to see the BIGGER picture. I said on a previous thread that above all, in order to be taken more seriously as a profession as a whole, we should WANT to...

  19. Would you take THIS NP position without looking at other offers?

    NightAngelle replied to BlessedOne's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would. Where are you

  20. Student caught stealing

    NightAngelle replied to RaggedyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Think about it like this...if you'll steal, you'll lie...if you'll lie, you'll falsify your charts. Is that a reach?

  21. Advice for future Nursing Faculty

    NightAngelle replied to LuBen's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    That is the same reason I would like to go into nursing education. I enjoy students more than most do...I love to see the light bulb go off, and I've been told on numerous occasions that although I'm...

  22. Older nurses taking forever to computer chart

    NightAngelle replied to Giga's topic in General Nursing

    The very title of this post unnerves me. I value and appreciate my "more experienced" nurses. I don't even like to use the term OLDER because time in this field usually equals wisdom of some sort....

  23. How did you decide to teach?

    NightAngelle replied to MissJulie's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Bump...I wanna hear this too. Excellent

  24. BSN vs. RN Salary

    NightAngelle replied to busylizzy's topic in Alabama Nursing

    denit1am, i respectfully disagree with you for a few reasons. high pass rate, much like holding a bsn, has nothing to do with the caliber of nurse the school produces. in my humble opinion, in the...

  25. BSN vs. RN Salary

    NightAngelle replied to busylizzy's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I agree with you wholeheartedly in the fact that management and leadership skills either inborn or acquired. Great managers have been found on the ADN level with appropriate instruction in management...
