    Direct Entry MSN - No interest in bedside

    lifelearningrn replied to mgryffon's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think nursing school and MHNP program will give her the experience in pharmacology. If you find a NP school that will take your without RN bedside experience, that go for

    lifelearningrn replied to RN UNDER DOG's topic in General Nursing

    My first nursing job I had an LVN as the floor supervisor and she was amazing. I learned more from her in a few months than all of nursing

    LPN or RN school?

    lifelearningrn replied to Yadayada's topic in General Students

    If BSN is the goal- I'd go for ADN then bridge (or straight to traditional BSN). And LPN bridge to BNS will take much more work in the long

    Pre Nursing Student Desperate for Advice

    lifelearningrn replied to nurse200003's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're young. Hang in there. Focus on those pre-nursing sciences, as those are heavily weighed in many schools. If you have to retake stuff, retake it. Stuff happens, we make mistakes and move on....

    Lack of reviews for nursing instructors

    lifelearningrn replied to Midgette1985's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    THIS. I loved being able to pick my professors in my prenursing classes. Nursing school you don't get a choice. You go where and when they tell you

    Call in sick over cut on hand?

    lifelearningrn replied to eggtart's topic in General Nursing

    Since you're taking oral antibiotics and can wear gloves, I don't see a reason to call out, unless you're in a lot of

    Should NPs learn from Korean MD strikes?

    Feeling defeated with NCLEX... I need serious help.

    lifelearningrn replied to Hardcore Believers's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hurst was the review course I took for NCLEX (albeit over 10 years ago). The single biggest thing that helped me when doing practice questions was to ALWAYS read the rationale. Even for the ones you...

    I'm sorry you're experiencing this. It sounds like you were exhausted and the headache and being woken from a deep sleep can account for your confusion and symptoms. Hold tight for the negative...

    NP to physician... is it possible?

    lifelearningrn replied to FamNP123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm a believer in doing what is in your heart. You say you want children. How many children do you want? While I know people put off having kids until after their careers are established, however,...

    Every day IVF clinics pick and choose which embryos they believe are 'healthiest' and discard those they don't believe will result in a successful, health baby. With these 'laws', will the couple be...

    Should I get pregnant during nursing school?

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

    You may get pregnant right away, or it may take time. I disagree that you're in your prime childbearing years at 33. You want two more children, and fertility begins rapidly decreasing after 35, and...

    Advice on Home Health Boundaries

    lifelearningrn replied to JaneDoeDoe's topic in General Nursing

    You're a skilled nurse, not a housemaid. Unless it's in the plan of care that you're responsible for laundry (other than changing linens and patient related things) than you shouldn't be doing it....

    Restroom Access

    lifelearningrn replied to seedanurse's topic in School

    I agree with this. 4 minutes to get from one class to another is cutting it close already. To expect the kids to use that time for restroom breaks sounds almost impossible, unless the school is very...

    Did this nurse behave unethically?

    Can a non-licensed allied healthcare professional manage a licensed registered nurse?

    lifelearningrn replied to Jenny2001's topic in General Nursing

    I remember as a grad nurse applying at a local nursing home I had volunteered in when I was in high school (some 20+ years prior). When I was told the DON was never a nurse, I was shocked. Never got...

    You definitely made a mistake ruffling up the union. If there are other non-union hospitals you might want to apply and see how it is working on the other side. You may realize unions aren't a...
