  1. These classes are nonsense

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

    Fluff is theory and more theory. Fluff is APA, and getting a B or C in a class where the teacher does not like the sentence construction. OOPs, I thought that was English and not nursing. I might...

  2. 2015 DNP

    gettingbsn2msn replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    No way--become a MD or DO first. Too much school and too much money. As I am also finding out, too much fluff in the

  3. Do you think nursing has aged you?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to carolmaccas66's topic in General Nursing

    I am wondering why I do this. I only make 18/hour as a RN after 2 plus years in the field. I can hardly make my bills. I have put on 45 pounds in 2 years of nursing. I do not eat bad. IT is just...

  4. MEAN GIRLS (or GUYS)

    gettingbsn2msn replied to T14WFLY's topic in Emergency

    The mean woman works at my hospital. I work nights and many times have to give report to her. She is day shift. The first few times I gave report to her I gave it to her back. Seriously, she would...

  5. ABSN program

    gettingbsn2msn replied to nursinghopeful1111's topic in General Nursing

    I got the ABSN even though I could have gotten the ADN. I am glad I went that route. After working 2 years on a busy med/surg floor I am pursuing my

  6. How likely is it to get laid off?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to xInspiredx's topic in General Nursing

    I am considered full time. However, we are always getting called off. One thing I want to add is that so many people are going back to school for nursing but I am here to tell you some people...

  7. If you could do it all over.....

    gettingbsn2msn replied to GeminiRN2007's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I predict many will get out of this mess of a career. Too many patients. The patients are getting heavier. Many of mine are morbidly obese, diabetic, noncompliant and alcholics. We tell this...

  8. Doctors office job..think I made a mistake...

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Marshall1's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Yep, hospital totally overrated. Enjoy the boredom. At least you are getting a

  9. Anyone heard anything about no more masters degrees?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to quetepye's topic in Advanced Practice

    Will nor happen in my lifetime. Many MSN's are already a hundred thousand in student loan debt. So are they going to sign up for more. I think

  10. Jobs not being advertised?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to ConsideringNursing79's topic in General Nursing

    Due to the recession there are not many jobs available for new grads or those already practicing. The hope is that the recession ends sometime this year and hiring budgets increase. Until that...

  11. BSN to NP: to wait or not wait

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

    Vanderbilt offers a DE option so you would not need to wait. However, my personal thought is that one should work at least one year before embarking on np school. I believe this because the first...

  12. Advance nursing needs revamping !!

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

    I actually like the idea of paying preceptors as Wynd above stated. What a novel idea. I just do not like the idea of students going out and begging for a preceptor. Colleges are charging too much...

  13. Advance nursing needs revamping !!

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

    llg, how can one possibly know what the instructors are like prior to entry to a program. For example, my first choice was Vanderbilt, but I know of no one who has attended there. It was too much...

  14. Do I need ICU experience for FNP?

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

    I had read this about Texas. The initial reason for allowing NP's in the hospitalist roles were the shortage of physicians. However, in my rural (and south) area that is being resolved with the...

  15. Advance nursing needs revamping !!

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

    Totally have to agree with you. I am very disapointed with our curriculum. Complete waste of time. We had to do a large poster on Watson. I am sticking it out but I believe the programs need...

  16. RN salaries in North Carolina?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Murse_1's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I have 3 years experience in medsurge. I am making 19.25/hour and this is over the line in Georgia. I believe this may be the lowest in the country though I have heard 16's-17's in Alabama. I am a...

  17. Support needed

    gettingbsn2msn replied to b eyes's topic in General Nursing

    We alert hospital security which are on call 24 hours. We have people go ballistic in certain cases in the er and a code grey is called. Now if they called back in and threatened us we would still...

  18. Worried about getting into nursing school

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Shanny246's topic in General Nursing

    first of all, you may as well take your time to get through nursing school. Most new grads at this time cannot even find employment. There is no nursing shortage. Lets say you are going for a BSN...

  19. What does "Stand up for yourselves" really mean?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to DroogieRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sadly this will become even more normal in the future. Do you think that once the so called recession ends that staffing better will happen. It is all about the almighty dollar and the ceo at the...

  20. Do you have volunteers on your unit and what do they do

    gettingbsn2msn replied to wastingnotime's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't you just shadow some nurses on those units. That would give you a good idea of the stresses that it

  21. Have you ever felt discriminated against because of your weight?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to almostdoneyah!'s topic in General Nursing

    No but I have been discriminated against my age. Though 30 plus, patients keep telling me (particularly males) that i should slow down and let the "young girls" run around and do my job. Burns my...

  22. Student Loan Defaulters ONLY

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Spode's topic in General Nursing

    you all don't get it and you are right it makes me mad too. If she works full time she looses state funded insurance which runs 10-15/per kid. If she works full time she looses this and has to pay...

  23. Student Loan Defaulters ONLY

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Spode's topic in General Nursing

    It is not just student loan defaults that will get you fired at our hospital--it is any default where they try to garnish. This why I cringe when I see new grads pull up in their brand new shiny cars....
