  1. My Mom passed away. Did I do the right thing?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to LovingMom1's topic in General Nursing

    Sweet lady, you are in the early stage of mourning. I am quite sure that you were a blessing to your mother in her time of need. Please contact a bereavement counseling service. Many churches or...

  2. How would you react? Body odor discussion.

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Nurse-rachet1's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely believe this story and what transpired. This is how "customer service" friendly healthcare has become. I dropped a glove on the floor one time. Pulled a new one out, did what I needed...

  3. Certifications - When is it too much?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to CardiacKidd1914's topic in General Nursing

    It is my hobby as well. I figure since i do not smoke or drink, this is an alright hobby to have! Right now I am focused on functional medicine. I already passed my ANP and have been practicing for...

  4. Weird meeting with manager

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

    I would find another job stat! Our entire unit was written up and drug tested because too much Dilaudid was pulled on a shift. Too much BS. I left the hospital scene over all this mess. All they...

  5. Weight loss for nurses

    gettingbsn2msn replied to tortillaRN17's topic in General Nursing

    I will probably get flamed for this. Oh well. I left the hospital scene approximately 4 years ago. Within the first year I lost 20 pounds without trying! I believe my stress level declined. Plus...

  6. Happy with your credentials?

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

    I would love to have a DNP , however, I own my own practice and see no value in doing free clinicals at someone else's practice. Plus I am 56 years old. Age wise, I love to learn new knowledge but...

  7. Credit check along with background? *****??

    gettingbsn2msn replied to choc0late's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Oh, and since I paid off my mortgage my credit is in the toilet. It is because I now have no long term debt according to my bank branch

  8. Credit check along with background? *****??

    gettingbsn2msn replied to choc0late's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I believe this is a complete invasion of privacy. Your credit report will reveal your mortgage payments. Also your car note. I paid my home off last year and I do not think it is any business of an...

  9. "smart enough" for DNP program?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  10. Is the Baby Boomer Generation not going to get good care?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Cola89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I also have noticed new dialysis centers opening in my neighborhood (Atlanta). Also a physical therapy center in every strip

  11. Is the Baby Boomer Generation not going to get good care?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Cola89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have left the hospital employment game due to all the ridiculous demands of patients. Honestly, it is not the fault of the patient. It is when hospital administration brings in Disney Corporation...

  12. What age is "too old" to switch from RN to APRN?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to WestCoastSunRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    The oldest in my class was 54 when she started and she works in mental health in a top hospital on the east coast. Myself, I was 50 when I went back and I am happy with my

  13. "Fixin' to die"

    gettingbsn2msn replied to ktwlpn's topic in Nursing News

    Totally regional here. In rural Georgia many speak like this. I am in metro Atlanta now but it is mostly northern transplants (like me) and we do not talk like

  14. Inane scripting

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    The best or worse case I ever saw was at Barnes and Nobles. I was in line and their was one cashier and customers backed up for a mile. The cashier just kept going on and on about signing up for...

  15. So is there really a nursing shortage?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to VegGal's topic in General Nursing

    Just because a job is posted does NOT mean it exists. This has been going on since the last recession. I do not understand the benefit to the hospitals of doing this but there must be a financial...

    gettingbsn2msn replied to bhudgins's topic in Advanced Practice

    Same situation here. And they want me to run ads in the local newsletter introduce This, and the owner is not even in healthcare. i think it is becoming the norm for this area. I keep hearing i...

    gettingbsn2msn replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

    bama, Found myself in your place a few years ago. Got fired from the only hospital in my area (they own everything). I was fired for asking for a raise (really!) Anyway, it was the best thing ever....

  19. How much is too much?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If I had not gone back to school when I did (2006) there is no way that I could pull this off today. I have a kid in college as well and its near impossible to afford today. Totally unsustainable. $...

  20. FNP pay

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Littlenurse08's topic in Advanced Practice

    Georgia pays about the same as TN and AL. Somewhat more in the Atlanta metro area. That said, we have a glut of NP's, so it is a difficult market here. I would leave if not for my

  22. Tampa ARNP-one yr post grad still no job!

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Agriffin2's topic in Advanced Practice

    You could come up to Georgia. However, we have many NP's that have left our state. This is because of a necessity of having a collaborative physician (which I never see and cannot get on the phone)....

    gettingbsn2msn replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Wanted to go to Duke.....started in a program for psych and had to drop out. This was due to the fact that I could not afford health insurance. Health insurance is mandatory, but I had stopped...

  25. How low would you go?

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

    Right now I work in rural GA and that is far more than I receive. In fact, my employer told me last week that I am not even worth that much! He (owner, not even a MD) told me that since...
