  2. Hello!! I just joined this site today because I was recently accepted into Chamberlain College of Nursing, I am scheduled to begin classes on March 1st and I was wondering if anyone else is going to...
  3. GN to NP in <1yr

    I disagree with your perspective. Perhaps, for this nurse it is not time to be an NP, but that is not true of all new graduate nurses. The RN role and the NP role are COMPLETELY different. Being an RN...
  4. Interdisciplinary Bullying!

    This happened to me when I was in ICU and when I was in LTC. The staff were literally running to the manager for anything and everything, sometimes blatantly lying, other times making a big deal out...
  5. Night shift diff

    Most do offer a shift differential. I agree with the first person who responded. State that you wanted to work nights because you need a shift differential and if they do not offer it you would like...
  6. what is a scientific process of nursing?

    Look in your text book or Google "nursing scientific process". We are here to clarify and point you in the right direction, not do your homework for you

  8. Jobs in school, success on NCLEX

    I'm not sure how much being a Pharm Tech will help you with nursing. Being a CNA will help you
  9. Work smarter not harder. Get paid more to do less? Why
  10. You posted a thread asking for people's opinion. That is what you received- a lot of other peoples' opinions... Since a majority of the opinions seems to disagree with yours, instead of telling people...
  11. And I cannot agree more with the people who have already said: DO NOT report her to the BON. She hasn't done anything blatantly illegal, harmful, malicious or wrong. If she ends up getting...
  12. My response might get flagged but... It kinda seems like you are just "hating" on this person for whatever reason... I hear an undertone of jealousy and/or intimidation in your post. She might just...
  13. Are you satisfied?

    Hello All! I would like to get perform a survey including NP salary, certification, area of work and job satisfaction. There are other threads from 2009 addressing salary, none addressing...
  14. Are you satisfied?

    There are tons of forums on allnurses.com that request salaries, if people are uncomfortable posting salary then they don't have to respond :). It is because a bunch of us students were wondering how...
  15. Sigma Theta Tau

    Yes it is equally competitive here also. When I got the membership I was thinking "I need more stuff to put on my résumé" because as a new grad your résumé looks like everyone else's. It still...
  16. Sigma Theta Tau

    I am/was a Sigma Theta Tau member. My GPA was 3.75, I was #2 in my cohort of 55 nursing students the girl above me had a 3.76. Yes, that's right, no one in my cohort got Summa Cum Laude lol. Just my...
  17. Aggressive patients?

    We get a little gray triangle thing on the top of the EMR, which indicated past violent behavior with medical staff. Honestly though its not a huge help. VERY rarely will a person just be chilling in...
  18. Night shift nurses: tips on sleeping AT NIGHT

    It depends on what time you are staying up until the night before... if you're tired enough you WILL sleep. What I mean is if you work from 7p-7a then come home and sleep until 4, yes you might have...
  19. Planning pregnancy while looking for job

    Yes, like the other person said- in order to be eligible for FMLA you have to work for an employer for one year. There are a lot of companies that offer alternatives to FMLA that include 12 weeks of...
  20. Dr. Devil Thank you for saying this. I completely agree, which is why I included "allowable for anyone" in the poll. Everyone should have access to PAS. If a person believes that their life is no...
  21. Student Loans

    Yes. Apply for financial aid to see if you qualify for federal loans. Just an FYI though, the interest rates are really high. You can also go to a bank and apply for a student loan to see when your...
  22. When will NCLEX results post ?

    Yes, trying to re-register works, and it works immediately. Other than that, every BON is different. Some will show your status online, others just send your license in the
  23. Honest Question

    Why are you freaking out about them freaking out? Yes, it was your responsibility to get the appointment order. You can't hold the doctor's hand, I've had a tons of doctors leave before doing...
  24. I definitely agree. Putting yourself in their shoes- you would want the option. Most of us cannot even comprehend the degree of suffering that some of these people
  25. Chamberlain does not require 2 years. Neither does University of Arizona (but its a DNP program). Yes, Chamberlain is "for profit" but it's honestly not much more than State Universities, especially...
