  1. Minor things people get fired/wrote up over,,,give examples.

    gettingbsn2msn replied to northmississippi's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That was the problem. Someone ran off to HR to say that I documented my assessments as 2245 instead of 2300. I lost my job over it. Now I CANNOT even get unemploment. BTW, I also do not count in the...

  2. How should I approach Nurse Practitioner before 2015?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to ggryz's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would just apply to Vanderbilt's direct entry. Do the first year BSN and then second year NP. This is expensive but it remains the quickest means to entry. I am finishing up my adult NP program....

    gettingbsn2msn replied to northmississippi's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I was fired last month due to charting an assessment at 2245 instead of after 2300. I work 12 hour shifts and assessments are to be completed q 8 hours. I had never been late. I had been out sick...

  4. Health care costs are RIDICULOUS!!!!

    gettingbsn2msn replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hate to say it...but...the cost of the uninsured is also billed into that amount. Hospitals have to cover their costs (and make a profit, they hope). If 4 people come into the ER and are uninsured...

  5. ED NP/NP job saturation

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Reagan622's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I actually would like to have post NP as well. I already know that I do not want to work with children so I am thinking ACNP or PMHNP. I am finishing up a ANP. My med-surg experience has been an...

  6. Going from a career in nursing to med school

    gettingbsn2msn replied to AmandaMae3721's topic in General Nursing

    I would love to have gone to med school. All that debt would have mentally done me in. I do not like debt. The people I knew that went to med school had parents with deep pockets. My family was...

  7. New dx of "possible MS"

    gettingbsn2msn replied to CloudySue's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    ((hugs)) You do not need to share your information with your employer unless you cannot do the job. Otherwise I would not tell anyone anything that could be used against me. I would say get your...

  8. I need all the girls/guys who work in pain mngmt clinics

    gettingbsn2msn replied to buster4's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It appears that the druggies are ruining it for those who so need help. Bad situation. Docs have to be very careful with rx. Most just send to pain mgt. Pain mgt sends to physical therapy. When I was...

  9. Ball State University MSN

    gettingbsn2msn replied to ksteen's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    BSU is a very good school. I got my first degree there in the 1980's (good ole Muncie, IN). Almost went to their ABSN program. Was accepted but declined for a less expensive option. Currently in a...

  13. Worst Interview......so far

    gettingbsn2msn replied to LoveMyBugs's topic in General Nursing

    I would have told him upfront it was not a good fit for me, excused myself and left. I do not need that kind of bull in my life. People think they can act like that because the economy is so bad....

  14. I need all the girls/guys who work in pain mngmt clinics

    gettingbsn2msn replied to buster4's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    May I ask what state you are in? Many of the MD's and NP's in my state are not prescribing pain meds any more. People are selling them. This has been on the news nightly. I know one MD that has a...

    gettingbsn2msn replied to rynophiliac's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is why I am going adult NP. I hope someone responds to this. I am very luck with my clinicals. I am with a family practice MD. However, most of what she sees is psych. So many patients on...

    gettingbsn2msn replied to LuckyinKY's topic in General Nursing

    My state works like California. Right now my (former) hospital is trying to deny my benefits but I am going to appeal. The labor department told me this though: If you accept a position, work one...

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I got my letter today. They want to deny unemployment. I was let go about 2 weeks ago. Evidently I will not count in the 9.1 % of the US unemployment and will not get any $$. This is bull. I am...

    gettingbsn2msn replied to lilredishere82's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I am doing clinicals and my MD preceptor refuses to write for narcotics. She is very intelligent and I am learning lots from her. However, in our state, the DEA is watching to see who is writing for...
