gettingbsn2msn MSN, RN

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 pre diabetic and a few extra pounds.

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. They wore garbage bags over their scrubs and got on...

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. Thousands of $$ down the drain but I just could not...

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 considered non essentials as they did not take care of covi...

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. I had to start my own practice. You are correct ...

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 INSURANCE. I loved nursing at the beginning of ...

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 RN in the emergency room. He is 25 and already see...

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

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 experience (at that time).

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 in. They were short so he was doing 5 shifts per ...

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 test.

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 were not sure if that meant legal or illegal.

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 me.

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 hope. I just do not know what I would do in my retire...

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 being a nurse in the beginning. I loved my patients ...

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 he told me they had furloughed approximately 50 NP'...

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 possible.

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 am also a RN. I would fight this but I do not wor...

I am old. Definitely not a cheerleader.

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 inbox.

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 here.

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 immensely. Sadly, I have no answers.

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 tremendous amounts of revenue. My husband went for a tread...

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 CARE about my patients. Some days I am so stressed a...

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 room. Of course, not everyone is like this. However...
