  1. Is it more practical to become a PMHNP or a FNP with specialization/cert in Psych

    J-Swish posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The reason I ask is because while Psychiatric-Mental Health is a strong passion of mine, I am also interested in other specialties, such as Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Family, Derm, etc. In...

  2. Frugality thead:work less, spend less

    J-Swish replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure how receptive this would be, but I'm a huge advocate for retiring abroad where your money will go further. Places like Thailand, certain parts of Europe, Mexico, Belize, etc. Many...

  3. Questions for school nurses.

    J-Swish posted a topic in School

    Hey all, new to school nursing here. Got several questions if you don't mind. 1) For immunizations, is there some sort of app where you can input dates to see if you're within interval? When is an...

  4. Should I quit my 2nd job? How many work 2 jobs here?

    J-Swish replied to CampNurse10's topic in School

    I think a summer job would be a good idea provided you get enough time off during the summer. What kind of summer job, I have no

  5. Is there a job where I can work when I want, part time?

    J-Swish posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Is there a job where I can work when I want, part time? Or at least part-time like weekends only (2 days out of the week)? I have a little under a year of RN experience and 6 months of CNA work. I...

  6. Is there a job where I can work when I want, part time?

    J-Swish replied to J-Swish's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow, alot of mentions for private duty nursing. I have several questions. What facilities do you normally work in (hospital based? clinic?)? And how do you find these agencies? Any tips? I need to...

  8. Difference between night and day nurses

    J-Swish replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    Experiences vary per shift depending on the people and the work environment that surrounds

  9. Cursed at a patient-fired

    J-Swish replied to sle9403RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sounds like my colleague, who has anger and cussing issues but learned to manage them by replacing them with words or letters and gradually weaned off of saying them out of habit. Sounds silly, but it...

  10. Bad Job Market? Be a NURSE! (Insert eye roll here)

    J-Swish replied to BloomNurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing schools have been popping up left and right across the country all tell potential students that there is a shortage for nurses right now. But all they're trying to do is fill their student...

  11. Got fired for changing fluid rate

    J-Swish replied to lolakbolak's topic in General Nursing

    Touche. Something's up. I just like to give people like that a chance, even if they mess up. There's a lesson and mistake everyone learns from. But of course, there's a limit to

  12. Got fired for changing fluid rate

    J-Swish replied to lolakbolak's topic in General Nursing

    You know who's at fault? EVERYONE. The OP's story doesn't quite add up and practiced outside her scope, that ER was using the M/S Floor as a dump, that preceptor did not intervene, these people on...

  13. Why do some nurses use their titles as a big ego boost?

    J-Swish replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Off-topic. This coming from a jerk nurse. When dealing with jerk physicians about personal health concerns, I suggest not mentioning about being a nurse. Say something else, like "hobbies" that you...

  14. I don't want a male nurse! - Caption Contest Winner

    J-Swish replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    This is nothing. I have been told I look "12 years old" or "teenager," therefore they want another

  15. New BSN Grad- Help!

    J-Swish replied to acl2006's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have seen this too often. First off, do you have substantial income, perhaps emergency funds? Does your husband have a well paying job? Do you have a reliable supportive family? I have seen this go...

  17. Is this restraint issue a dilemma that can go to the ethical committee?

    J-Swish replied to J-Swish's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to take all this into consideration. Didn't think I would get these many responses. Thanks

  18. Is this restraint issue a dilemma that can go to the ethical committee?

    J-Swish posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'll keep it brief. Situation: Pt is A + O x 4. He is able to understand. However, he constantly pulls IV, kicks, pulls O2 off, tries to pull foley, etc. This is after acknowledging that this can...

  19. Is this restraint issue a dilemma that can go to the ethical committee?

    J-Swish replied to J-Swish's topic in General Nursing

    I think the concern here is confusion and lack of re-demonstration of understanding. Pt says yes to all procedures but for an unknown reason, wants to get out of bed and pull out IV's, etc. I think it...

  20. Questions about tuition reimbursement from work?

    J-Swish posted a topic in General Nursing

    I keep hearing about this from fellow nurses and students. Do all workplaces have tuition reimbursement so you can attain higher education (RN-BSN)? How does it work? Let's say you already enrolled in...

    Hi, First off, I'm sorry for writing so many questions in one topic. The curiosity is killing me. Anyway, I am planning ahead and have done a load of research on various RN-BSN programs. Many of the...

  25. Need more inference on ethical dilemma issue regarding restraints.

    J-Swish replied to J-Swish's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. It seems like those cases are rather very complex to have gone to the ethics committee. My situation was in Med-Surg and was not severe enough to have gone to the ethics
