   LNFNP18 replied to gudiarani's topic in Career Support

   FNP working at a FQHC here, I’ve been accepted into the NHSC SUD LRP program. I received my COI on May 1, received the counter signature first week of July, and got the notification via email of my acceptance on July 14. No idea when my credit chec...

   Wondering the same. I signed my COI on may 1 and still waiting for the counter signature. Also getting nervous 😞.

   I received my finalist email on May 3. Also glad to hear there’s no horror stories of finalists not getting the award in the end! I’m an NP, applied for SUD LRP.

4. RN new graduate finding jobs in new york

   LNFNP18 replied to truenurse's topic in New York

   I know that hospitals upstate are hiring... I think you just need to be proactive about it. I have gotten callbacks and interviews, and have been hired upstate. I called the HR department/nurse recruiter after having turned in my application, just ...

5. 9-5 no w/e RN jobs and salary

   LNFNP18 replied to rnintwo's topic in New York

   I work in an urgent care right now, and it's definitely not 9-5 with no weekends and holidays off! I work 12 hour shifts - 7:30am to 8pm and every other weekend. We do get certain holidays off (I work christmas eve for example, but not christmas da...

6. How do I find a job in a doctor's office? please help!

   LNFNP18 replied to aprilgemini24's topic in General Nursing

   Just an FYI... I don't work in a doctors office exactly, but it is an urgent care clinic... I still work 12 hour shifts! I don't have a single 8 hour shift... I work two 12 hour shifts, a 7 hour shift and a 9 hour shift. I like this because I get 3...

7. Quirky Habits?

   LNFNP18 replied to dorisc1981's topic in General Nursing

   Picker here!! I just broke the habit of picking at my nails, but still any loose skin around my fingers, or anywhere... my lips! that's the worst... picking at my lips when they are dry

8. Pain Scale

   LNFNP18 replied to makes needs known's topic in General Nursing

   Oh yes, I also do always make it a habit to put what the scale was out of.... for example I would never just say pt rated pain at a 5, I would say pt rated pain 5/10.

9. Pain Scale

   LNFNP18 replied to makes needs known's topic in General Nursing

   I agree! If we are not asking the patient to rate their own pain, then I can only guess that we would be rating their pain based on how they are reacting to it? However, that is not accurate (in my opinion)... people react differently to pain and h...

10. Pain Scale

    LNFNP18 replied to makes needs known's topic in General Nursing

    I would say the 0-10 pain scale is a big part of my charting. I also use the faces pain scale for people who may be unable to tell me a number, or young children/babies (they have charts for this that you can use for reference... I just draw a pictu...

11. New Grad Ethical Difficulties

    LNFNP18 replied to theycallmeking's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the previous poster who said the job market is bad for new grads right now. I say take what you can get for now, and in the meantime keep looking for something better. I worked at first at a LTC facility where I didn't agree with many ...

12. Today after clinical I broke down in Tears!!:(

    LNFNP18 replied to believeallispossible's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I always look up a medication before I give it if I dont know what it is. And I also did this during clinicals, because I knew my instructors would be asking me questions about it! I honestly dont think it's expected that nurses remember all sorts ...

13. Hep B birth vaccination

    LNFNP18 replied to Aquadream13's topic in General Nursing

    I think the vaccine debate can get pretty heated... I agree with what previous posters have said, if you said no to a vaccine, then they can not "force" a vaccination on your child. On the other hand, I do hope you don't let this experience stop you...

14. Vent - Business sense and the nurse.

    LNFNP18 replied to caroladybelle's topic in General Nursing

    "You think that you can bring your kids to work or to an interview, that since you have kids, that means you get the "preferred" schedule...right out of nursing school" Just wanted to point out, I feel the opposite as this one! When I interview for ...

15. Can a doctor ask a nurse to write the order when she is standing right there??

    LNFNP18 replied to Parul's topic in General Nursing

    I do write orders out for doctors and providers all the time... I just make sure to have them read it over and sign it. It's not that different than taking a telephone order, right? With a telephone order, you still write out the order etc., and th...
