  1. Finally, a non-judgemental forum

    Dixiecup posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I couldn't believe it when I saw this forum. What a breath of fresh air! I've been tempted to post in the regular forums but have always refrained due to all the judgemental responses from others that...

  2. Am I going to lose my license?

    Dixiecup replied to unlucky_monkey888's topic in General Nursing

    It is rather unbelievable. We've had CNA's go to the bathroom and just never come

  3. GRE scores, what's good?

    Dixiecup replied to Iconoclast's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, I am in the Family Nurse Practitioner Program. I hesitated on posting I wasn't familiar with these tests but there are so many threads about them, I guess I'm lucky I didn't have to take

  4. Negotiating?

    Dixiecup replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's exactly why I want to work hourly. I l ive in Missouri and in this area I would say 75% of NP's are paid an hourly

  5. done some soul searching, any thoughts?

    Dixiecup replied to Cardiac-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Please don't take this the wrong way. Just offering another opinion! I don't know how much of a factor money is in your decision but your certainly not going to make any as an educator, and it's a...

  6. Negotiating?

    Dixiecup replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would definitely not work for salary. I want paid for every hour I work. I've made that mistake in the past as a management RN and always end up working for

  7. GRE scores, what's good?

    Dixiecup replied to Iconoclast's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm totaly clueless about all these questions regarding GRE and other test scores. I don't even know what they are! I currently attend SLU in St. Louis Mo. it's one of the more well known and...

  8. Too soon to get excited about potential jobs?

    Dixiecup replied to yellow finch's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I still have a year to go in my program and amazingly have had a couple of job offers already. What scares me to death is everyone thinks I'm so "wonderful" except me. I don't feel like I'm ready at...

  9. working, tuition reimbursement and NP school

    Dixiecup replied to 7starbuck7's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm working full time (40 hrs/week) and taking 6 hrs a semester right now. I'm managing for now but getting ready for my last year and wondering how I'm going to pull it off with all the required...

  10. "Quick Care" prescriptive restrictions

    Dixiecup replied to FlyMom's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I live in Missouri and NP's cannot write for controlled substances. I know an NP that just got put on probation for writing a cough syrup with codeine RX. She did'nt even do it on purpose. It's just...

  11. RN, BSN with wish to pursue MSN-FNP

    Dixiecup replied to MeechiesRNBSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    1. If you can afford it, I would highly recommend working part time while you're in school. School is stressful enough on it's own. I wouldn't worry about losing your skills, esp. if you stay part...

  12. Passed the AANP exam

    Dixiecup replied to mom and nurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Way to go!!!!Hope I get to know what that feels like

  13. HIPAA violation with chart note?

    Dixiecup replied to samarooni's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Do you know if she's ever done this with anyone else or is known for reporting this kind of stuff? It may be a case of her wanting to look like the "big hero" or something of that nature. (of course...

  14. need advice on handling a difficult CNA

    Dixiecup replied to PIANISTRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Me too! Can you clone

  15. desperate for some input!

    Dixiecup replied to keeptryin's topic in Nurses Recovery

    While I don't know all the details, i agree it sounds as if something fishy is going on. Do you know for sure if he is even actually even in rehab/detox center? if so, I would call the facilcity,...

  16. Doctors are Bullies

    Dixiecup replied to madwife2002's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I disagree with this. The ones who come from places where the women are expected to walk three feet behind the men expect that to happen in this country too. I've seen it happen too many times in my...

  17. How does everyone feel about nursing theory

    Dixiecup replied to allaboutthefamily's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in an FNP program and so far have had to take two theory classes. hard to stay awake. It's sort of halarious how enthusiastic the intructors are about it. Like it's the only thing that

  18. My doubts about a future in nursing

    Dixiecup replied to NewJA's topic in General Nursing

    The OP said in the very first line it wasn't done intentionally, the computer wouldn't cooperate so it had to be posted as

  19. How much is your pay?

    Dixiecup replied to rainbowcak3's topic in General Nursing

    I also live in Missouri (about an hour south of St Louis) I've been a nurse for 20 years and will be graduating as an FNP in about a year and I'll probably make $35 an hour tops. It's

  20. Student Loans

    Dixiecup replied to matty011's topic in General Nursing

    I'm finally in my 7th and last year. I'll end up with about 100k. Not looking forward to it plus I took every extra $ I could get. I'm in the FNP program now but took the long

    Dixiecup replied to flightnurse2b's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My husband and I want to buy a 2008 Mustang GT but the payment will be over $400 a month. we figured up we spend at least $350 a month in cigarettes! We are going to put what we would spend on cigs in...

  22. Welcome to our new Nurses & Recovery support forum

    Dixiecup replied to sirI's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My husband is the same way. And I'm not that much over weight, he's just used to me being a slim, hardbody, but age tends to make you a little lumpier! I know most people resent it when their spouses...

  23. My name is newlyweddani and I'm an alcoholic

    Dixiecup replied to newlyweddani's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Keep trying. Don't give up. Someone will give you a chance. I work at a LTC facility. We are notorious for hiring the underdog! We believe everyone deserves a second chance and have hired plenty of...

  24. what is wrong with this advisor? Power trip?

    Dixiecup replied to lannisz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have a little different take on a similar situation. My last semester was difficult to say the least, had major life crises, one after the other. the syllabus plainly stated that "you must svhieve a...

  25. Pre-NP Experience

    Dixiecup replied to Raebeth's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As I stated in a previous thread. Some experience is a must but too much experience is detrimental in my opinion. ( but that's just my take on it.) I found I took too many bad nursing habits with me...
