  1. help, torn about staying in current job

    Hi simplyFNP, I agree with the other responses that it seems like a major risk to stay at this job. To chart under his name/credentials brings up an ethical AND legal issue in my eyes. Can you trust this MD enough to continue working with him? I...
  2. Another potential new grad psych RN

    Hi HeyLove, Although I was not a new grad in psych nursing when I first started as an RN, I quickly became an inpatient psych RN early in my career. My recommendation would be to become a CPI Provider (or take an equivalent class in non-violent cri...
  3. I don't feel like I've settled for this job--and this life--at all. My journey to becoming an APRN has been challenging, rewarding, and allowed me to feel fulfilled. I hope doctors with MDs feel the same way--and I feel positive that some do feel...
  4. Independent Contractor Salary

    Hi NP92, I am an NP and independent contractor as well. That's a tough question--the answer would be based upon the terms of your contract, but I would guess that you would still be paid despite the doctor closing the office. Are there any specifi...
  5. How much experience before entering PMHNP program?

    Hi Oceanblue, I recently completed my PMHNP (DNP) program and am currently working as a PMHNP in my community. I worked part-time as an RN during my PMHNP program, and I found my RN job in inpatient psychiatry to be extremely helpful during the pro...
  6. Night Shift Burn Nursing

    Hi fellow nurses! I'll very soon begin working as a burn nurse during night shift, and I was just wondering if any of you could please share your experiences or advice. What are some of the major challenges for burn nurses working nights? Is there ...
  7. Night Shift Burn Nursing

    Thank you both so much for your responses! What would be good ways to prepare for burn nursing night shift?
  8. Night Shift Burn Nursing

    dirtyhippiegirl, the unit is combined stepdown + ICU, I'm not sure if the dressings are BID, no daily tankings, and there are both wound care RNs and techs.
  9. Best New Grad Programs in NC

    Hi everyone! I just wanted to ask you all which hospitals in NC (especially the Triangle and Triad) have the strongest new grad programs and why you think so. Are there any programs or hospitals that I should avoid? Since I will be a new grad in a ...

  11. Best New Grad Programs in NC

    Hi again, I was just wondering if anyone had any comments or insight. I would appreciate it so much!
  12. Moses Cone- Greensboro, Info for a New Grad Relocating

    Hi! I've done a few of my clinicals there, and I have heard great things about the academy program. Which academy are you applying for (med-surg, ED, etc.)? From my understanding, it is very competitive (like all new grad programs in the area). I'm...
  13. Hi everyone! I was just wondering what you all thought about OT and SLP versus Nursing. If you could go back, would you go to either of the fields? Why or why not? I'm at the stage in school where I still have a choice about which path I follow, and...
  14. Nursing vs. Occupational Therapy vs. Speech Pathology

    I ultimately chose nursing school, and I am SO GLAD I did. While it's challenging, it has been such a positive life experience: even if I don't end up a nurse one day (I probably will, though!), I have learned so much about myself during this journey...
  15. Hi everyone! I'm currently a student pursuing a Bachelor's degree in either Nursing or Psychology, and I'm unfortunately at that fork in the road in which I need to choose whether I pursue a track for Psychiatric Nursing or Occupational Therapy. I've...
  16. UNC-CH school of nursing Summer 2011 acceptance

    Tarheal, A few weeks before the budget cut announcement, I was told by someone in the nursing office that we would have our nursing letters by spring break. However, because of the adjustments, I'm thinking they may need until March 20th. That doesn...
  17. UNC-CH school of nursing Summer 2011 acceptance

    Hi, I think New2NC is correct, in that there is a good chance that some of the spots for January matriculation could be added to summer matriculation, but with a 25% reduction in total admissions for the year. I think that is good news for our matr...
  18. Nursing vs Occupational Therapy as a career?

    I've definitely struggled with the same decision (for months actually!). I'm currently getting a bachelor's degree, and I reached the fork in the road where I had to declare what major and path I was going to follow. I understand how difficult this ...
  19. Occupational Therapy Or Bachelors In Nursing?

    I've experienced the same struggle between choosing OT vs. BSN, but I ultimately chose BSN because of the opportunities. I figured that I could always go back to school and become an OT, and at least I'll be able to work a few years beforehand to pay...
  20. Nursing vs. Occupational Therapy vs. Speech Pathology

    I have spent a lot of time volunteering in OT Psych and Rehab, and I have a close relative who is an SLP and loves her job. I have been very drawn to the rehabilitation process, and I guess it doesn't necessarily matter to me which aspect I would pot...
  21. Nursing vs. Occupational Therapy vs. Speech Pathology

    Thank you all again for your input! I really wanted a "nurse's perspective," and your comments have been helpful! I also just wanted to ask, from your experiences, are OTs and SLPs respected in the field? How, as nurses, do you view the two professio...
  22. Nursing vs. Occupational Therapy vs. Speech Pathology

    Thank you both so much for your responses! From the OTs or SLPs that you have met, are they generally happy? Quality of life good?
  23. Quality of Life: NP or CNS

    Hi everyone! I'm currently a student pursuing a BSN. After shadowing both RNs and NPs, I feel that NP might be a good fit for me. As an NP or CNS, how do you feel about your profession? Briefly, what are the parts of your day that you look forward to...
  24. Quality of Life: NP or CNS

    To any current NPs: Are you happy with your jobs overall?
  25. Quality of Life: NP or CNS

    That definitely helps! :) The reality of the working situation for a Psych NP/CNS is precisely what I'm trying to discover and explore. Thanks for the response!
