  1. Are nurses commissioners of oaths?

    Borntobenurse? replied to das729's topic in General Nursing

    We are not notary's. That is not part of the license. We cannot make your letter official by stamping/signing

  2. Nursing to Medical School

    Borntobenurse? replied to doctor2bM97's topic in General Nursing

    You are posting on the wrong site, but as someone who has some experience with the situation you want to put yourself in: You definitely can do medicine after nursing, but its much harder. Having all...

  3. Nursing school has made me not like nursing

    Borntobenurse? replied to kilcawleymarco's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing School harder than nursing? Yeah I don't think

  4. Nursing school has made me not like nursing

    Borntobenurse? replied to kilcawleymarco's topic in General Nursing

    Floor nursing is very different from school. You might possibly like it better. People usually like it worse because nursing school is sunshine and rainbows. But with your military background, the...

  5. Just accepted job, now may be pregnant

    Borntobenurse? replied to RNtoBe14's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats if true. You tell them nothing till you are certain you are pregnant and you get past the 1st trimester at least (unless you work around radiation). There is some chance you could have a...

  6. Too Many Nurse Practitioners?

    Borntobenurse? replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Much better said than I did.

  7. Too Many Nurse Practitioners?

    Borntobenurse? replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I believe your PS is not true anymore, but I am so glad that people are shutting down on the online school shill's commenting in this thread. Thank you, thinking

  8. Too Many Nurse Practitioners?

    Borntobenurse? replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm, drinking the coolaid are we? Doctors and PAs educate too. And on working alone in a rural setting fresh out of NP school, just because something is easy to do, doesn't mean it should be done...

  9. Too Many Nurse Practitioners?

    Borntobenurse? replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    The spaghetti monster is real. Prove he doesn't exist. What, its difficult to prove a negative? Seems like that should be in a bio-statistics class or something. Even so there are some studies out...

  10. Too Many Nurse Practitioners?

    Borntobenurse? replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I would like this more than once if I could. With maybe the exception of the last paragraph I think you are dead on (I don't know if crazy nursing can ever fully adopt the medical model, and quite...

  11. 100k in loans worth it?

    Borntobenurse? replied to ravindram's topic in General Nursing

    Get on a waitlist for an ASN at a community college, then get your hospital to pay for the BSN. 100k is too much for nursing degree in most states. BTW, good chance nursing will be much harder than...

  12. New grad as a unit manager

    Borntobenurse? replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Inspirons quote, which was what the poster was responding to, which you then responded to her. I will ask you, did YOU read the

  13. Too Many Nurse Practitioners?

    Borntobenurse? replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe that information is published (exception being Advanced Pro Nursing Institute, I mean golly how did an advanced pro fail?). Only the ones that they did approve. I would make sure my...

  14. doctor reviews and ratings

    Borntobenurse? replied to socoamaretto's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that most doctors have very little idea how competent thier peers are, unless they work in OR etc. Its funny that a very good PCP will sometimes refer to a not so good specialist. Also double...

  15. New grad NP job offer- questions

    Borntobenurse? replied to AMagoo923's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    After reading Darths post, I changed my mind. He has a very reasonable approach and the slow build up might be good. I was worried about the physician having no clue about NPs and just seeing you as a...

  16. New grad as a unit manager

    Borntobenurse? replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Even that intern has at least 4k hours of clinical rotaion before and they still bungle it up. If anything this shows how lacking our NP is at 700 hours. Your argument supports the need for more...

  17. Too Many Nurse Practitioners?

    Borntobenurse? replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    There are large incorrect assumptions in this quote. The first and most laughable being the high quality of NP education 'currently." There is a reason the California BON started cracking down, no one...

  18. Too Many Nurse Practitioners?

    Borntobenurse? replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Over double what the HRSA is projecting? Aren't they the same ones in 2002-2006 who said we needed a ton more nurses and were used to justify hugely increased nursing schools till the floor fell out?...

  19. New grad RN and I'm considering leaving the hospital fresh off orientation for another

    Borntobenurse? replied to FlyingFishofFury's topic in General Nursing

    didn't quote, so reply doesn't make sense

  20. New grad RN and I'm considering leaving the hospital fresh off orientation for another

    Borntobenurse? replied to FlyingFishofFury's topic in General Nursing

    AS long as you get the new job before quitting, you will be fine. Tho remember, when you jump that fast, you need to spend at least a year in the next place, so it might be that your friends were...

  21. Allina Health not hiring online NP grads

    Borntobenurse? replied to RockMay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Finally, someone doing the obvious. I wouldn't hire any NP from an online only school without a very through interview and training process/residency. They are so inconsistent. NP school shouldn't be...

  22. Working 12's with small children

    Borntobenurse? replied to karo07's topic in General Nursing

    I agree to a certain point, but then again if the point of working is to just make herself marketable in the future, than a sitter could be well worth it. Going Per diem, switching to 8 hour shifts...

  23. Working 12's with small children

    Borntobenurse? replied to karo07's topic in General Nursing

    A. Switch to per diem job instead of part time. B. Never work weekends C. Switch to an 8 hour unit D. All of the Above E. Call the Doctor One of these answers is more correct than the

  24. Is money everything in this profession?

    Borntobenurse? replied to WhyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like those particular nurses were dishonest. And yes, all jobs are about getting money. You don't have to be slimy to do it

  25. I know it's horrible to live off loans but...

    Borntobenurse? replied to Cats&Tea&Climbing's topic in General Nursing

    You can work some in nursing school. Take loans for the rest and don't beat yourself up if its less than 40K. If its more, transfer after your first semester to somewhere cheaper or take a leave of...
