I'm a nursing student and it was my first day caring for a patient on the Tele unit. She was very ill and had been waiting for a liver for quite some time. She was admitted a month before, and the staff nurse and I were telling her she was getting a new liver =) So it's me, staff nurse and ancillary in the room and she starts crying and laughing and said, "I have to call him. No I have to call her first. I just have to tell everyone!" The staff nurse says, "OK, but first we have to run some tests..." Patient: "No, no, no. The first thing you have to do is get me the h*ll off of this bed pan!":lol2:

Hi all! I'm currently a senior in an accelerated BSN-MSN program. My ultimate goal is to work in an outpatient facility as an NP in rheumatology. I have spoken to a number of rheumatologists who all tell me that NPs are in high demand, but none of them seem to know how to BECOME an NP in rheumatology! Several people have told me that there are universities that have Rheumatology NP programs, but I have yet to find them From the research I have done, it seems that I'd need an MSN in Family Care and then get certification to specialize in rheumatology. Can anyone who has specialized in rheumatology please let me know how you achieved the specialization? Thank you, Christine
