  1. Got The Vaccine! Share Your Experience

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Getting mine Saturday. Not sure if Moderna or Pfizer. Thanks for the information. I hope not to have any side effects. I am 60, work full time as a Nurse Practitioner. Only co morbidity is...

  2. Tell me I'm being too literal

    gettingbsn2msn replied to imintrouble's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My RN son is leaving nursing after spending $$$ on a BSN. He worked in NYC metro at the beginning of the pandemic. He said he realized quickly that the hospitals could give a damn about him....

  3. Is doing therapy as a psych NP realistic?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Kaelif2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I dropped out of my Psych NP Program after my first clinical rotation. I was spending 5 minutes with someone to throw meds at them. I am already a FNP so it was an additional certification....

  4. Accept a part-time NP job?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to 156919's topic in Advanced Practice

    Be VERY careful with a NP position that has been open that long. Is it due to covid? I know around 50 NP's and PA's were furloughed at the large hospital system in our area. They were...

  5. Regretting an APRN degree

    gettingbsn2msn replied to LunaBuna's topic in Advanced Practice

    I have been telling my RN friends this for a few years. It is all based on supply and demand. Schools have been churning out APRN degrees for quite a few years at this point. I am also a APRN....

  6. What Do You Miss About Nursing?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Davey Do's topic in Retired Nurses

    I was thrilled to get out of the hospital. I am a retired working nurse. This means I pick my days and who I see. I was concerned I would loose skills. I see patients for low cash prices. NO...

  7. Nurse Practitioner Job

    gettingbsn2msn replied to izzynp's topic in Advanced Practice

    This is exactly what I have been predicting for years. If everyone goes back to school to get a NP there will be less demand for employment. Wages will also go down significantly. My son is a...

  8. How is covid in your area?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to johnjohn1981's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My RN kiddo just returned from New York. He was a traveler. They did not renew his contract which I see as a good

  9. New Nurse Moving to Atlanta

    gettingbsn2msn replied to nurse_ash2020's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I worked as a RN at Piedmont in Fayette county. I enjoyed my time there however, it started getting crazy busy as so many of the baby boomers are retiring to Peachtree City. However, over all good...

  10. BEDSIDE...run, don't walk!

    gettingbsn2msn replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    My son who graduated with a BSN 3 years ago is choosing to leave bedside. He told me it is unsustainable for him for the long term. He worked in New York city during covid and I believe that did him...

  11. Ambien?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My recruiter told me to stop ambien for 7 days. She said this even though I have a legal RX. She was sure it would show up on a

  12. Drug testing for job-xanax

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Ozymandia's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I stopped taking ambien (have a script) for a week because my travel recruiter was concerned about it. She had told me the 7 priors presented to this position were denied because of drug usage. We...

  13. First APN Job: Not Getting Paid For Hospital New Hire Orientation

    gettingbsn2msn replied to keepitsimplesilly's topic in Advanced Practice

    I was not paid for completion of modules. I believe a few years back we were. However, hospitals are scrambling to make profits so this does not suprise

  14. NP: Age limit?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to romantic's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I finished NP school at 52. It was somewhat difficult to find a first job but I attribute that to over saturation and not age. Many MD's work into their 80's but at a less capacity. That is my...

  15. Is it worth it to be an NP?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Polly Peptide's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am at a point where I absolutely hate medicine in the USA. I have been a NP for 10 years. It is a third career for me. My second was an accelerated BSN that I completed 15 years ago. I loved...

  16. Nearly impossible to find NP jobs

    gettingbsn2msn replied to mrsannRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    The difficulty of finding a position at this time is directly related to covid 19. My son had to end up taking a travel position in New York. In our state there have been many lay offs. I believe...

  17. Low Stress Specialties

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Hayleyjc26's topic in General Specialties

    It is all stressful. People have incredibly high expectations (if you are in the USA). I would retire but between cost for healthcare and taxes I do not think will ever be

  18. Coronavirus-Are we ready to talk about rationing care?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am extremely angry. My son is a RN. Huge hospital system. Works in ER. I just text him if they have implemented masks yet. He text back "no and followed by mom they tell us its just the flu". I...

  20. Health Care Professionals are targets of this scam

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Julie's topic in Nursing News

    Our state sells off the licensing of nurses. It is a business pure and simple. I would imagine other states are doing the same. This is why I have over 100k emails in my

  21. HUGE step forward for NP's!!!

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

    I would be willing to bet that rural Georgia is lower paying than Florida. NP's get around 85k or less in this part of the country. We only stay because we have family

  22. Is it like this everywhere now?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    Old/Improved, It is not better for our medical doctors either. My son wants to go to med school. I have had more than one doctor say they "want to set him straight." Healthcare has changed...

  23. Wastefulness in healthcare

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    TREMENDOUS waste in healthcare. I am a nurse practitioner and the amount of paperwork involved is horribly wasteful. My opinion is that healthcare is a business. The hospitals are making...

  24. Is it like this everywhere now?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    Healthcare is so bad that I really am not sure if I want to continue on this path. I am a nurse practitioner. Triple charting now mandatory on a patient. Like all of you, I am very ethical. I...

  25. Is it like this everywhere now?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    Being a Nurse Practitioner is not much better (these days). Patients demand certain medications, will not pay co pays, rude and expect us to be their servants. Complete melt downs in the waiting...
