  1. Unsolicited Advice From A Preceptor

    Izzy11 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm an FNP and I want to share some advice that I assumed was obvious, but apparently is not. I started precepting students this fall and I had four over the semester. Two were rock stars - one is...

  2. How would I address a firing?

    Izzy11 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I graduated in May and I began working at a LTC in July. I was suspended today because of a mistake I made yesterday when the state surveyors were there. The ADON told me to call her on Monday to...

  3. online np programs that find your preceptor locally

    Izzy11 replied to andreead's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's hard enough to find an on-campus program that gets your clinical placements. Forget about an online program helping. I think it's absurd that programs can do this but that's how they

  4. Unsolicited Advice From A Preceptor

    Izzy11 replied to Izzy11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I went out of my way on some other things to help him out that I didn't get into on this post, so it really rubbed me the wrong way that he wanted to skip out on what would've been about an hour of...

  5. Finding a FNP clinical preceptor

    Izzy11 replied to shell1983's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Does your program provide any assistance with finding preceptors? If not, then I don't know how they expect you to find any without cold calling. I would just go ahead and cold call. One suggestion I...

  6. The Hotel Phenomenon

    Izzy11 replied to Jacqueline.Damm's topic in General Nursing

    I have the opposite issue. I work in a SNF/LTC and we get way too many admits who would've still been in the hospital even five years

  7. Am I freak for charting meds as I pull them?

    Izzy11 posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I just started working in a LTC facility and it's my first job out of school. It's taking me a long time to do the morning med pass, although I'm getting better at it. The nurse who oriented me said...

  8. ACLS class prep

    Izzy11 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm taking ACLS next week and after going through the pretest, I don't know much of the material. I'm wondering what they actually teach in the class if you're supposed to learn it all on your own...

  9. ACLS class prep

    Izzy11 replied to Izzy11's topic in General Nursing

    This is my point. If I had known I had to learn this all on my own, I would've saved some money and taken it on-line. But since I have no experience with any of this stuff (I work in a nursing...

  10. Metropolitan State Denver ANO 2012 applicants

    Izzy11 replied to ec7855's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Mike, The program had its ups and downs. The faculty was extremely supportive and really wanted us to succeed. They really prepared us well for the NCLEX - my class had a 100% pass rate on the first...

  11. Metropolitan State Denver ANO 2012 applicants

    Izzy11 replied to ec7855's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I graduated from the program in May 2012 and I thought I'd share a couple of things that annoyed me with the requirements, although it might be a little late. When I started the program, the school...

    Izzy11 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am a second-year nurse and I've been working in LTC but I want to find another job. I just started an FNP program with an expected graduation of 2015. Should I put this on my resume? Whould it...

  14. Did you learn IV in NS?!

    Izzy11 replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in General Students

    At my school, we learned in lab on the fake arm, which is just like a real one (yes, that's sarcasm). We were told we'd get to do them in clinicals. I only got to try two of them. Now I'm working...

  15. How to get in to a clinic

    Izzy11 posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I've been working in LTC and skilled nursing since I graduated about a year ago. I would really like to work in a clinic, office, or outpatient setting. How do I get into one? I'm an RN and it...

  16. How to get in to a clinic

    Izzy11 replied to Izzy11's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Thanks for the reply. My question is how do you find the jobs? They don't seem to be advertised anywhere. And there are a zillion clinics and you don't know which ones hire RNs, so it's hard to do...

    Do you live in Kansas? Even though the program in online, you have to do the clinicals in

    Does anyone know if there are classes or such for RNs to get practice starting IVs and drawing blood? I don't feel like I learned them at all in school, and working in LTC I never get to do them....

  19. Platt college?

    Izzy11 replied to tbahde's topic in Colorado Nursing

    All the graduate programs I looked at just want the BSN from an NLN accredited school, so I don't see why they wouldn't accept a Platt degree. But as always, do your research. Ask some of the...

  20. How would I address a firing?

    Izzy11 replied to Izzy11's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I haven't heard back on that job, but I had an "interview" for another job this morning. I put the quotes on it because the DON basically gave me the job when I walked in the door. It's just PRN,...

  21. Help!! Can new grad BSNs start in Long Term Care and move to the Hospital Setting?

    Izzy11 replied to Sehille4774's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't see LTC as having a slower pace. Having to crank out a morning med pass for 20+ residents, do assessments, treatments, a midday med pass, chart, call doctors, pass PRN meds as needed, and...

  22. How would I address a firing?

    Izzy11 replied to Izzy11's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I got a call back today from an HR manager. She asked why I left and I told her the story and her response was "it was a minor error, I'll tell that to the ADON". So that was encouraging. Her main...

    Izzy11 replied to Izzy11's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks. What should I say when it comes up with applying for jobs? I asked the ADON what she would suggest (I really think the decision came from above her and she wanted to help me), and she just...
