  1. Nurse for 5 years wants to quit

    delabeaux replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Welcome to the dumpster fire that is Healthcare in the US. Many in your shoes may think the way out is to get your MSN and flee the floor. Unfortunately, schools are pumping out MSNs in every...

  2. States that don't require residency for license?

    delabeaux posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm wondering if there are states that don't require residency to get licensed in that state; I've looked at a few but the info is vague beyond visiting all 50 state's Board of Nursing / Depts of...

    Thanks! This is what I"m looking for... looking to maintain my RN license for informatics but my current state requires hands on hours, which I don't get working remotely in informatics. Will look...

  4. Sorry state of Nursing ...

    delabeaux replied to Howardhughes's topic in General Nursing

    Amazing. Perhaps we spew so much therapeutic communication to our patients, we save none for our peers? I see nothing wrong with venting. You get heard, and while it likely means nothing, its gets...

  5. Sorry state of Nursing ...

    delabeaux replied to Howardhughes's topic in General Nursing

    And because of this (OP), droves or nurses are going for their NP thinking it's the way out, not realizing they're creating an NP excess. NP jobs are becoming like new grad RN jobs, hard to find,...

  6. Advice for a potential second career male nurse?

    delabeaux replied to Iwannabea...?'s topic in Men in Nursing

    If you REALLY have nursing as a passion, do it. You may make less, you may work more. It doesn't matter if it's your passion, because you won't be 'working'. Now. For reality. If it is not 100%...

  7. PrepU prepwho? Anyone used it?

    delabeaux posted a topic in General Students

    I've seen a couple of posts on prepU... anyone used it and passed the NCLEX? It seemed like the posts here were by the same person, so I wanted to check that it wasn't an advertisement of sorts! I'm...

    delabeaux posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If anyone is willing, could you post your CRNA book list; any adjuncts online to your program?

  10. New graduate moving to colorado please help!

    delabeaux replied to NY2CO's topic in Colorado Nursing

    This is true. However, I am extrapolating from previous experiences as a CNA in a local hospital. Being a male CNA, 99% of what I did was sit with violent, aggressive, combative and abusive 1 to 1...

  11. New graduate moving to colorado please help!

    delabeaux replied to NY2CO's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Awesome! By the way, you can call... assuming you have Federal Loans, (and possibly with private loans), and get extended forebearance/deferments for up to a year or more! I only know that as my...

  12. New graduate moving to colorado please help!

    delabeaux replied to NY2CO's topic in Colorado Nursing

    That is heartening. However, I see so many nurses taking jobs that they will simply hate, just to get their year in. Having worked at a job I despised, I must say, that is something I cannot do......

  13. Informaticists.... tell me about your specific jobs...

    delabeaux posted a topic in Nursing Informatics

    I'm debating on what I want to do post graduate. I love... love... love computers. Built my own. I love troubleshooting everyone's computers, recovering lost data from broken drives, reformatting,...

  14. Competent programs? NP or PA...

    delabeaux posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm deciding whether or not to go the PA or NP route. Yes, NP will have the doctorate level soon. So what. It really means little to me if NP programs are producing incompetent DNPs while PA...

  15. Competent programs? NP or PA...

    delabeaux replied to delabeaux's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It is a standard admitted to by the ANA. My associate studies end in a year. Since we're getting off track and trying to quantify this conversation to my education, my Bachelor studies finished 2...

    delabeaux replied to delabeaux's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Lol. Now this is getting silly. Let's just be frank and admidt that there are $hit NP programs out there. Furthermore, one CAN go straight from BSN to MSN-FNP. Schools are slowly changing it, but...

  17. NCLEX study guides, what do you think?

    delabeaux posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm using, Saunder's Comprehensive 5th ed, Just ordered PREPU NCLEN-10,000 and LaCharity's delegation 2nd ed. I graduate in December (10th). Our school has a Kaplan course... some student swear by...

  18. NCLEX study guides, what do you think?

    delabeaux replied to delabeaux's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I studied Kaplan for the NET (Nurse Entrance Test). I found 40 errors, typos, things that were plain wrong. While it had minimally good information, the fact that I paid for it, and it seemed not to...

  21. Second Degree options.. oppinions needed!

    delabeaux replied to LeXxBelieve1's topic in General Students

    I didn't say, 'Take credits until you get your GPA up'... I said RETAKE the credits you did crap in. Most colleges have 'grade' forgiveness and will replace and factor in an appropriate grade in it's...

    delabeaux replied to LeXxBelieve1's topic in General Students

    delabeaux replied to greyL's topic in General Students

    Wow... ya'll went to my nursing school... I graduate and December and am only semi-confident thanks to my month-long preceptorship. Other than that, in my two years I have NEVER been with a nurse one...

    delabeaux replied to delabeaux's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Dang it... I hate when my quick replies are lost . There is a difference between nursing theory and scientific theory... does it matter? Obviously not, based on so many papers showing that NP care...

  25. Do/did you enjoy Nursing School? Or hate it?

    delabeaux replied to Jayden8139's topic in General Students

    I'm done in two months. I really dis-liked it. It was sub-par, at best. Poor clinicals, poor instruction, disjointed. I've heard nursing school is supposed to be the hardest education of your...
