  1. Cried at work... in front of a doctor!

    gettingbsn2msn replied to scorpio82's topic in General Nursing

    Don't worry, karma will get him eventually. Obviously, this bast*rd has not learned that nurses can make his job much easier. Don't worry about your tears. Everyone has a day like that eventually....

  2. First RN job & it's pay

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Stephen.Stevens's topic in First Year After Licensure

    18/hour. Have 2 years exp. Just left but looking for a job. This is in the southeast rural. I have a BSN--made mid 30's last year. Back in school--cannot live on that amount. Good

  4. Post Masters FNP versus DNP or PhD program

    gettingbsn2msn replied to sross0077's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Susan, I am close to your age (50) and doing the MSN with ANP. I have no interest in the doctoral degree at this point. I may even do a post masters Psych program. At my school they are pushing...

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Vaxene's topic in General Nursing

    My husband drives an hour and 15 minutes each day to work and does not mind it. I could not do it. I know you said gas was not a concern. It does not bother my husband. Between he and I were...

  7. Feeling tired and restless after almost 2 years. Next steps?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to SistersofMRSA's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of decisions to make! You sound like an excellent nurse. however, you are being caught up in all the healthcare administration drama (as the rest of us are). Do you plan to move with...

  8. Pradaxa

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Jenni811's topic in Patient Medications

    I met the pradaxa rep in our area recently. This is per the rep. They are expecting pradaxa to be a blockbuster drug. It is already showing signs of it. The cost does not appear to be a problem in...

  9. Bullied by the Young

    gettingbsn2msn replied to sorry's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was treated badly by a day shift nurse. However, I do not consider this bullied. I just thought she was an a$$. When I would give her report she would turn around and face someone else or the...

  10. Terminated illegally I believe

    gettingbsn2msn replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    Good move momrn, I would stay out of that place and keep my license intact. Some people have a very spiteful disposition. Best not to raise his temper and he decides to "really get you". Good luck...

  11. How should I approach Nurse Practitioner before 2015?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to ggryz's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    After you pass boards you can work as a RN. For Vanderbilt that would be after the first year. You could work the entire 2nd year (possibly) while doing the NP part. I would go on their website to...

  12. Just passed AANP!

    gettingbsn2msn replied to buster4's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Did you feel prepared

  13. Terminated illegally I believe

    gettingbsn2msn replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    MomRN, Do not even say the city you are in. I am in a similar situation and afraid to say even the state online. All I can say is it is southern. Be very careful--we do not know who reads these...

  14. Terminated illegally I believe

    gettingbsn2msn replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    I have been fired (for not charting at the correct time). sorry, but my patient thought she was having an MI and I spent time with her. should I let her die next time? I have been DENIED...

  15. Does your facility do this?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to handyrn's topic in General Nursing

    My problem with all of this is the ceo makes 750,000/yr at my last facility. This was a small place as well so I would imagine that most make more. His bonus depends on how much he saved in...

  16. Terminated illegally I believe

    gettingbsn2msn replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    You are in an at will state. They will not pay you unemployment. I can almost guarantee it. What state are you in? They can terminate you anytime for anything in an AT WILL STATE. It was even in...

  17. Does your facility do this?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to handyrn's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to keep your job, you will do as instructed. They have already informed you that they do not want to pay. You may get written up over this as well. 3 write ups and I believe they can...

  18. HELP! They are investigating my license :(

    gettingbsn2msn replied to abigl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I just reread your post. Did you pull too many narcotics and forget to credit them back to the patient? We had a nurse who did this (and she was not let go but good friends with charge nurse!). I...

  19. HELP! They are investigating my license :(

    gettingbsn2msn replied to abigl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes, this is going on. I do not take narcotics at all. My documentation was scrutinized and I was fired. I filed for unemployment benefits and was denied. I have appealed and this has really...

    gettingbsn2msn replied to LovelyRain's topic in General Nursing

    Just remember you are not alone! I used the Saunders book to pass boards. I felt it was the best out there but others may have suggestions as well. Also Suzanne who is a moderator (I believe) of...

  21. Private Loan Debt Stressed Out New Grad! HELP!

    gettingbsn2msn replied to LovelyRain's topic in General Nursing

    I just reread your post and realized you are in Cali. I do want to reiterate, there are positions in the southeast. Again, they do not pay much, but the experience is invaluable. Also, you may want...

  23. American Mobile

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Smiley6's topic in Travel

    Thank you for the heads up. The most recent hospital I was working at was using AM. I am in a very rural area and staffing is horrible. That is why the hospital is using travelers and AM at that....

    gettingbsn2msn replied to heartbeep's topic in General Students

    I HATED NS. All depends on who is in your cohort. The instructors were alright. I was in an accelerated BSN program. Everyone was trying the one upmanship. At the end people were not even...
