  1. DNP Project

    NursKam posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Hey guys! I'm starting to think about going back for my DNP and I want to know how intense the project is. How was your experience in the program and with the project? That seems to be the only thing...

  2. DNP Project

    NursKam replied to NursKam's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Thank you for your response. I am actually already an NP with my MSN, so I’m not worried about clinical sites and preceptors etc. I’m more curious about the capstone project, but I see you have...

    NursKam replied to RShieldsSN14's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I agree. It sounds like that particular nurse was being unprofessional. That kind of talk should be saved for outside of

  8. Being Gay and a Male Nursing Student

    NursKam replied to RShieldsSN14's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I should probably also add that I live in California. That may have a lot to due with my experiences in the workplace, versus someone from a more conservative

    NursKam replied to RShieldsSN14's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I am gay and have never felt discriminated against in the workplace. My sexual orientation just does not seem to be an issue for my colleagues or my patients. If they do have an issue, they...

  11. Should I go for my DNP?

    NursKam replied to NursKam's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Unfortunately, most hospitals around here offer very little tuition reimbursement. Nowhere near even half grad school

  12. Should I go for my DNP?

    NursKam replied to NursKam's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for your reply! You're right. There is no real DNP requirement for NPs in the near future. I've had some time to contemplate the issue and for now, I'll save some money and go the MSN

    NursKam replied to NursKam's topic in California Nursing

    Hey there. Sorry for the late response. I've been really busy lately. First off, Bio Stats was easy! I hate math and aced the course. Just do your best in your prerequisites. Realistically to get in,...

  15. Help with Major CNA Problems

    NursKam replied to JSBoston's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In response to Kooky Korky... I think you mean well, but I have to disagree with you on some points. First off, a floor nurse is not the boss or in charge of anyone but herself and her patients, so a...

  16. CNA vs ER Tech experience

    NursKam replied to BrewCrew312's topic in General Students

    Having been both a CNA and now an ER Tech, both within the same hospital, I'd say either one will give you good experience. I was bored being a CNA on the same Tele floor for almost 5 years! I like...

    NursKam replied to westcoastguy's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    One more thing. I think it is a given, but if you work as a CNA you are only allowed to work within the scope of practice of a CNA. However, the hands on nursing experience may benefit you on future...

  20. LVN then work as CNA or caregiver?

    NursKam replied to westcoastguy's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You definitely can work as a CNA in the state of California even if you are licensed as an LVN. I, too live in Fresno, CA and work as a CNA at a hospital here. I have many coworkers that are licensed...
