  1. HCAHPS Scores = hospital pay

    gettingbsn2msn replied to A&OxNone's topic in Nursing News

    Are patient satisfaction scores gathered from Press Gainey? The questions look the same. I thought PG was a private company. Have they partnered with the government? Just

    Do not let them loose your job. If you find something else and move on they (hopefully) they will let you leave on good terms. Is it possible you could work prn for them or someone else in your...

  4. Masters degree then FNP/DNP?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to LadyEJ BSN, RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sometimes (my school) they will waive the gpa if your GRE score is high. In my case I had a 2.9, however, my GRE score was high compared to the other applicants. It ended up being a wash. Either...

    I loved my job but they let me go 2 weeks ago. I will never fall in love with a job or coworkers again. I also will never trust the hosptital environment again either. I went in on Friday to see if...

  7. I like learning about diseases but hate nursing

    gettingbsn2msn replied to PraiseMariahCarey's topic in General Nursing

    I am thinking that you may be better suited to be a pharmaceutical rep. You will be out and about in your car driving around to see different customers. I did this for many years before coming to...

  11. New Student... Feeling Unsure

    gettingbsn2msn replied to themommy's topic in General Students

    You may be best suited for a pharmaceutical sales job. The pay is far better than you will ever make in floor nursing. Most likely you will get a company car. The only downside I see is that...

  12. Ready to toss in the towel

    gettingbsn2msn replied to chcgoblue's topic in General Nursing

    Be careful on those COWS. We are supposed to chart assessments q 8 hours which means at 2300 to 0700. I worked 12 hour shifts. I did my charting at 2200. They suspended me, and then let me go over...

  14. Working and NP program?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to ICRN2008's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Research (in my opinion) is far more difficult than pharmacology. The research professors appear to live in a different world than I am accustomed to. Pharmacology was a

  15. Applying for jobs in multiple states

    gettingbsn2msn replied to jstripling7's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am in the same boat as you. I want to apply for Florida but it is very pricey. I think around 400.00 for a license. However, the wages for Florida are very low. I am used to the low wages of GA...

  16. Just started my job... and considering quitting

    gettingbsn2msn replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in First Year After Licensure

    After working in nursing for 3 years the facilities desire the nurses that do not talk to the patients. They just want you to throw the meds at the patient do a quick assessment and move on. This is...

  17. Preceptors?? Anyone??

    gettingbsn2msn replied to bayouchick02's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have a different situation--I found a preceptor. She is a new MD with a family practice. The situation is that she does not have many patients. She is not busy. This is why I think she was...

  19. The big D---Debt.

    gettingbsn2msn replied to thislife's topic in General Nursing

    Go get you degree at the community college. There is no way that you should be that much in debt for a nursing degree (or any other degree for that matter). Right now college debt has surpassed...

  20. NP classes

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Soon2bFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    These are not too bad to take together. When you get into the clinical setting is when it gets rough. Right now I am at the mercy of my preceptor MD so I never know what hours I will be with

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

    Rural Georgia FNP=$45,000/year. Rn pay without overtime=$32,000/year. This is why the area is so poor. Police officer pay=$8.50/hour. EMT pay=$8.50/hour. I will be moving soon! BTW, this is a...

    gettingbsn2msn replied to joanna73's topic in General Nursing
