  1. Failed the AANP and ANCC

    gettingbsn2msn replied to hope1272's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It is possible to have test anxiety and not be able to pass. A friend of mine had her doc prescribe a med for her to take on test day--she

  2. Sorry, but no..:

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

    Also I cannot stand being called a guest in a retail store. I am not a guest, but rather a paying customer. I am a guest if I am invited over to your house. Target did not call me up and invite me...

  3. Sorry, but no..:

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

    It is becoming very cold and calloused. Nurses are given scripts to say when they enter the room. We even attended classes on this. I have seen the changes. I can also see when someone is forced...

  4. Direct-entry MSN to DNP?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to scarletgray's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You could do the DNP part time while working but I would get a year's experience before I ventured into school. You might consider teaching after that. I know the instructors at the college my...

  5. Questions for the experiencedl

    gettingbsn2msn replied to LJohnson11213's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In all seriousness have you looked at the job situation in NYC. I would suggest you research it. The reason I state this is that I sat next to a girl at a luncheon last week and she told me she is...

  6. Do you (Active NP's) feel respected by MD's/DO's/PA'S

    gettingbsn2msn replied to KansasFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    Not in ga. There is a new bill to restrict nps further. Ga wants to take the nps out from under the bon and place them under the board of medicine so they can be disciplined. I will post the biill...

  7. So which school DON'T make you find your own preceptors?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Road2CNO's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would only attend a brick and mortar school. You get what you pay for. Np jobs are not as plentiful as everyone seems to

  8. I am being black balled possibly?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes. I was blackballed. I applied with another agency who had a job with same hospital online advertised. They presented me and was told "no". I have accepted another position with a hospital 2...

  9. I am being black balled possibly?

    gettingbsn2msn posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Ok, this sounds fishy. I just completed a travel assignment with one company 13 weeks. I am the type that is always early, never calls in, customer service oriented, ect. I worked there during the...

  10. Failed AANP

    gettingbsn2msn replied to RNGrad2006's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  12. Changing our colors again- rant.

    gettingbsn2msn replied to beeker's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Check out your local Goodwill. I am a traveler and pick up my scrubs for my assignments there. I am starting a 8 week assignment so I will be there tomorrow. You have to sort through them but some...

  13. Hospitals illegally firing nurses for refusing flu vaccines

    gettingbsn2msn replied to AQEELSMOM's topic in Disaster Preparation

    They are already looking at the weight of nurses in Texas. It is not discrimination but a way to reduce employer healthcare costs. We were discussing this the other night on our shift. We expect...

  14. I am being black balled possibly?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in Advanced Practice

    I am going to accept another position with another agency in another city. Financially I will be ok. This just bites that people are like this. I went out of my way to be a good worker. It does...

  15. Hospitals illegally firing nurses for refusing flu vaccines

    gettingbsn2msn replied to AQEELSMOM's topic in Disaster Preparation

    They are doing it where I am right now. I just finished a travel assignment with them, got the vaccine as required and now they will not hire me. This is a big hospital system that controls an...

  16. rant

    gettingbsn2msn replied to mmc51264's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know this is not the right thing to say and let me apologize in advance. I left my husband over this scenario. I am also never going back. I drove 90 minutes to work and worked a 12 hour shift....

  17. Realistic take home

    gettingbsn2msn replied to SheilaORN's topic in Travel

    That is very good for south

  18. Staff nurses and their bad attitudes

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

    I am a traveler and it is like this everywhere. I even had one nurse that turned her back to me while I gave report so I was talking to her back the entire time. She was the height of nastiness....

  19. Hurrying death?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to lalalulu's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I lost my mother a few months ago in hospice. Believe me, if the nurse had a problem with giving pain medicine or forcing mouth care I would have asked for a new nurse. I knew that my mother did not...

  20. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    gettingbsn2msn replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    Sorry, I would not wear it. I am also 50 years old. This is exactly why I did not go into nursing for my first degree. I am no handmaiden and I refuse to look like one. At my age, sorry I get to...

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

    gettingbsn2msn posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was on vacation last week and came back to work my shift at the hospital 7p-7a on Sunday night. I was informed Sunday afternoon that I had been suspended and not to come into work. I was told that...

  22. Appropriate starting NP wage

    gettingbsn2msn replied to DuckFan23's topic in Advanced Practice

    Has anybody worked locum tenems as a new grad? I called today and they said they take new grads. I have been a travel nurse for awhile and love the extra learning I get at new places. Does anyone...

  23. Would this be appropriate for an interview?

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

    Don't worry girl--these days I am shopping the consignment shops. I think with the additional prices of gas we all are looking for ways to maximize our income. Just wear a nice smile and be yourself...

    gettingbsn2msn replied to obicurn's topic in Georgia Nursing

    OMG, I also am thinking about moving to Douglasville as well. I have been researching nonstop. I lived in north Atlanta a few years ago but left to attend a brick and mortar NP school. What is...

  25. Nervous About Paying for School

    gettingbsn2msn replied to wishfulnurse01's topic in General Nursing

    Do not plan on making 50k right out of nursing school. Not going to happen in this part of the country. Hospitals are on hiring freezes. Also if you are working right now they are doing everything...
