    gettingbsn2msn replied to Milspouse's topic in General Nursing

    Family should always be first. That is the bottom line. You can start your program and work

  2. Does anyone have a GOOD manager

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Teacher Sue's topic in General Nursing

    I have a good NM and also good charge nurses. If I did not I would be gone in one minute flat. Truly that is the only thing that keeps me going into that place. I consider myself easy to get along...

  3. Calling all gerontological Nurse Practitioners....

    gettingbsn2msn replied to MommaRN86's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am doing the adult NP but most of the patients in my clinical setting are 65 plus. My ANP will allow me to see those from 13 to

  4. What do you do to destress?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    I also have 4 dogs. Just watching them play or see how excited they get when I come home is an instant destressor. Usually the house is quiet. Kids at school, husband at work so I just nap on the...

  5. NP Certification Exams and Pass Rates

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

    Maybe I am wrong, but do you think working on a busy med surg floor (which I do) will help me pass the certification? Clinicals are a little difficult for me because it is primary care and I tend to...

  6. difficult patients

    gettingbsn2msn replied to dlrrn2010's topic in General Nursing

    Just be kind to her. I know it is difficult but it will be easier for you just to smile. Maybe no one has been kind to her for a long time. Also give her choices and that will help with her control...

  7. Worrying about an IV start...please help?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to blirajel's topic in General Nursing

    I have actually preferred the hand for iv's. I have great veins in both my hands and they are really easy to hit. When I was in the ER I had a brand new nurse. I could tell she was nervous and I...

  8. What is your current LPN salary

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Vicky Laursen's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    LPN's are making alot more than I am with my 2.5 years experience. Good for them but times are tough for my family. I make 18/hour. I have been told that NP's only make 45k around here. Sorry, but...

  9. push back/cancel with no pay

    gettingbsn2msn replied to sweetface18's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know why I think this--however, I believe that it will be worse in the future. My hospital is not making enough money. Most of our pts are medicaid or working class with no

  11. push back/cancel with no pay

    gettingbsn2msn replied to sweetface18's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital has been acting the same. If you are scheduled at 0700 and they do not need you, they call you off but you must call back at 1000. They will then let you know if you are needed for the...

  12. Got my latest Advance issue and salary wise........

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

    They are doing this because they can. Yes, they may be growing but at this time almost everyone is using the economic situation in the US to freeze pay. At the same time almost everything is rising...

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

  14. New NP job market ????

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

    Really it scares me that there will be few jobs for NP's when I graduate in 2 years. Everyone I know is going for their NP. Most are doing it online. I chose a brick and mortar so that I could be...

  15. BSN to NP: to wait or not wait

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Walker.Abb's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I started clinicals this week with a MD preceptor. Thank God I put in 2 years on a med surg floor. I would have felt like an idiot otherwise. I still have much to learn but he really asked me a ton...

  16. Can a NP make over $100k a year?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to KT12's topic in Advanced Practice

    np's in my area make 45k. I asked why this is. Was told mostly women hold those positions, cannot move and the docs low ball them. That is why Np's are prefered over PA's. PA's ask for more $$ and...

  17. Hateful, mean nurses

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

    This must be someone writing from my hospital. Seriously, I had to give report to someone who would not turn around and face me. I gave report to her back. I could not face her because she was...

    gettingbsn2msn replied to BellaRoseRN's topic in General Nursing

    gettingbsn2msn replied to whitebunny's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think That it is wonderful that you are a sensitive nurse. I see very few of them. Someone posted an article here concerning the art of nursing and EQ. Good stuff. I agree with the others that...

  20. low GPA, any hope for NP?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to NCcardiacNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Many schools will waive the low GPA if your GRE is high. That was my case. I took my classes over 10 years ago but did well on the GRE. I am now doing the core. Good luck. There is always a

  21. DE programs?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Joebird21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would love love love to go to Vanderbilt which has a DE program. I already have a BSN and am taking core classes to get into my MSN program. If this does not work out I will try to go to Vandy as...

    gettingbsn2msn replied to pamela202's topic in General Nursing

    I got my ABSN at a very low cost university and now work at the hospital where I did clinicals. However, it all carries a price. The RN's at my rural hospital make probably the lowest $ in the...

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Queen2u's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Typical stuff that is unique to nursing. No one can get along. Just like when I floated to another floor. The nurses said "it must be nice on your floor where its more like a hotel." They were...
