  1. Will they really be contacting me?

    newyorkgroove posted a topic in General Nursing

    I applied to a hospital online and got an email that said they would contact me in a few days to let me know what the next step would be....does this mean they will really contact me or is this just a...

  2. Nursing School 1900's Style - You Thought Your Program Was Difficult?

    newyorkgroove replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    That was like education back in our granparents' days. People would only have an "8th grade education" but if you look at what they were taught it looks like rocket science compared to what kids are...

  3. Will they really be contacting me?

    newyorkgroove replied to newyorkgroove's topic in General Nursing

    I read and re-read the email. It said they will be contacting me. That was 5 days ago and I haven't heard anything, so I figure that's that. Just poor wording on their

  4. Haven't even graduated and already burned out...

    newyorkgroove posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    because I'm feeling a little disgusted by what I'm seeing in primary care; scores of young people on mega doses of hydrocodone, valium, Xanax, Percocet, you name it, they're on it. It just seems so...

  5. How to Handle Student Incivility

    newyorkgroove replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    There is another NP student in the clinic where I am doing my clinicals. He can regularly be found lounging in the doctor's chair on his computer, working on his Typhon logs. The doctor is too nice to...

  6. University of South Alabama FNP Assessment course

    newyorkgroove replied to Edare's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That's about all you can do at this point (what you're already doing). You will get more individual attention in the specialty courses. Just pay attention to the DVD they send you and learn what's on...

  7. Haven't even graduated and already burned out...

    newyorkgroove replied to newyorkgroove's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was thinking about having my own clinic and a sign to let people know: NO NARCOTICS PRESCRIBED HERE. That should eliminate a lot of trash and game-playing. Unfortunately, it's big business, but I...

  8. NP thinking about CRNA

    newyorkgroove posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Actually not yet an NP, but I'm a senior in my program. It is a primary care program, and while I fully intend to graduate, I'm thinking I will be miserable seeing the same old patients with the same...

  10. Want to be a Med-Surg Nurse

    newyorkgroove posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    I used to be a LPN, then went to ADN, now I have a BSN and almost enough credits for a NP degree. I'm sitting here at my computer with my stethoscope around my neck. A couple of years ago I worked for...

  11. Working and NP program?

    newyorkgroove replied to ICRN2008's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Now that I am in my last two semesters there is no way I can work anything except 8 hour shifts on the weekends, which is what I do. My family is large and we have no other income so you can imagine...

  12. Patient's addicted to narcotics

    newyorkgroove replied to rn undisclosed name's topic in General Nursing

    There is a national database where health care providers can look up a patient's records to see all the narcotics a patient has had filled, regardless of what pharmacy was

  13. What do you think of Clinical Nurse Leaders (CNL)?

    newyorkgroove replied to onedayitllbeme's topic in General Specialties

    We have a highly educated nurse at work who is good at certain tasks and has a lot of book knowledge, but she is bumbling and totally inept at floor nursing. She was taken off the floor and put on the...

  14. How do I respond to a poorly written request to be a nursing student?

    newyorkgroove replied to BrentRN's topic in General Nursing

    This must be from a foreign student. I would have to investigate this further. Probably suggest remedial

  15. Struggling NP student

    newyorkgroove replied to lvICU's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am in my next to last semester of NP and I feel the same as you I've never liked clinicals, hated them, actually, but NP school is especially bad because of the number of hours you have to spend on...

  16. NP but decided not to practice

    newyorkgroove replied to celle507's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm a senior NP student who initially wanted to make more money (I have 10+ yrs. experience and don't make anywhere near 100k or even 70k). I've heard different things about what NPs make but it is...

  17. Are nurses "above" menial pt tasks?

    newyorkgroove replied to trauma_lama's topic in General Nursing

    I like patient care. I'm thankful when the CNAs clean the poo but I'll never think I'm above
