    gettingbsn2msn replied to thepilgrimsoul's topic in Advanced Practice

    Would like to see how others answer you. I am in an adult NP program right now but mostly interested in

  2. Fired from my med/surg job after almost 3 years

    gettingbsn2msn replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in General Nursing

    God, I keep thinking of things. I wear a locator so if they thought I was not in the room during 2300-0700 they could do a locator

  3. Fired from my med/surg job after almost 3 years

    gettingbsn2msn replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, and I worked a ton of extra. The floor is continuously short. I am sorry I keep writing about this but I am just upset...... but now I am starting to get mad (not good for my

  4. Fired from my med/surg job after almost 3 years

    gettingbsn2msn replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in General Nursing

    One more thing, I told the nurse manager how busy I was that particular night and I forgot to add an extra assessment to the 2300 to 0700 hour. I simply forgot. It is as simple as that. I did not...

  5. Fired from my med/surg job after almost 3 years

    gettingbsn2msn replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I had been written up prior. Maybe I did not make that clear. I had no other infractions. As a matter of fact, the NM told me that they really did not know how to handle it as usually people...

  6. Fired from my med/surg job after almost 3 years

    gettingbsn2msn replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure if the state requires 8 hour assessments. I am scared to say what state this is in due to repercussions. I will say that it is in the southeast. And our hospital (excuse me, their...

  7. Fired from my med/surg job after almost 3 years

    gettingbsn2msn replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in General Nursing

    Jenn, I have seen my employment file and that was all that was in it. I was literally fired over charting maybe an hour early and not having an assessment between 2300 and 0700. My assessments had...

  8. Time to call a duck a duck, part II

    gettingbsn2msn replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    We are at the point of cutting nursing staff and ancillary staff to the bone. There is no time for patient communication. I was actually told by another nurse is that patients are a bother and they...

  9. NP but decided not to practice

    gettingbsn2msn replied to celle507's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You could give yourself a time limit and see how well you adjust. I know some NP's at our hospital that also pick up hours doing the RN

    gettingbsn2msn replied to lvICU's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Mamma, I am also having the same issues. Its funny that I read this post as I went to the doc today to get my tsh level checked. They started me on strattera. I just took the first dose tonight. I...

  11. Is it really illegal to require BSN(NJ)?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to mamaxmaria's topic in General Nursing

    Too funny. NJ (and NY) have many residents leaving their states due to increased taxation and housing costs. This may add fuel to the fire for their nurses (and other healthcare professionals) to...

  12. US nurses... what makes you do it??!! (rhetorical question alert!!!)

    gettingbsn2msn replied to purplesteth's topic in General Nursing

    Brookee, I do not think it is your age. I believe in the US at this time there are simply no jobs and that would include (sadly) nursing. I am in a masters program for NP and am questioning this as...

  13. payscales are secrets huh?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is bull. Lets say I desire a new position in another hospital because I want to increase my pay. I really DO NOT want to waste my time (or theirs) if their compensation is lower. I...

    gettingbsn2msn replied to ANNG7's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    But what is the answer? I have been a RN for 3 years. I make 18/hour. I am also going back to school online. I have a BSN. The town I work in is small coastal. It is a county hospital. I am...

  18. Venting about job search...Has anyone experienced this?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to rnnow09's topic in General Nursing

    Problem is those who are not working cannot drive around just to say "hi" when gas is at 4.00 a gallon. It really makes a

  19. Need some encouragement:Stretched thin

    gettingbsn2msn replied to KMC-RN-BSN-710's topic in General Nursing

    I do not like floor nursing. I have put on 30-40 pounds in 3 years. I have aged 10 years. My husband and I no longer get along. I could go on and on. I am finishing my masters because I have...

  20. Average Hospice NP pay per visit

    gettingbsn2msn replied to v1cky84's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I do not think it would be possible to see 8 patients per day. Also count drive time and traffic issues. What if a patient is chatty. You can't just run in and run out. Would you not have to ask...

  21. Average Hospice NP pay per visit

    gettingbsn2msn replied to v1cky84's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So it sounds like you would see 5 patients per day I thinking. Makes more sense. Just watch the wear and tear on your car. My husband drives for work and has to spend 2600 to get his car fixed....

  22. Average Hospice NP pay per visit

    gettingbsn2msn replied to v1cky84's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My question is if this takes 2 hours in paperwork (I have no idea) then you are making 36/hour plus using your own gas. Ok, how many gallons at 4+ per gallon. I would really need to have all the...

    How much will you be driving? How many patients will you see per

  24. True life as a nurse

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Wendi Decker's topic in General Nursing

    People told me I would be emotionally spent and exausted. This is serious business. I have never been so tired. I have gained so much weight it isn't funny. I work 12's. I get so tired I think I...

  25. Research class?

    gettingbsn2msn posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Can anyone recommend an online masters level research class? I would not be continuing at that school as I only need to take research. The class is filled at my school. There seems to be zero...
