  1. Smokers need not apply?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to RainMom's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It could affect others. Smoking gets into your clothes and hair. Some people can't even handle that around

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to ePerfect's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Apply, Apply, Apply! GPA is not everything. Use your stories about life to show you had a lot going on. I did that and was accepted. They were actually impressed that I had 4 kids, worked full time,...

  3. Doctorate of Nursing Practice

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to OfeliaMSN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It's ok but there are definite areas for improvement. Lots of writing. We begin our capstones this summer. I do believe the DNP should be more clinical and less theory/research. Research is the

  4. Doctorate of Nursing Practice

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to OfeliaMSN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm in a BSN to DNP program at Loyola University New Orleans. No our preceptors do not have to be DNPs for the reason that there aren't many. We can use MDs, DOs, DNPs, or NPs with extensive...

  5. Doctorate of Nursing Practice

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to OfeliaMSN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I am in year 2 of 3 of my program. We began with 40. We are now in the 13-15 range for who is left. People left for various reasons. Many simply fell back a cohort. The largest challenge by far is...

  6. Why did you become nurses?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to rupertmichaes's topic in General Nursing

    I will be a nurse 5 years in May. I earned my ADN in 2009, BSN in 2011, and God willing my DNP in 2015. That will be all the education for me! I will be 37 when I graduate and that's ok by me. I was a...

  7. Why did you become nurses?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to rupertmichaes's topic in General Nursing

    I became a nurse after being wait listed for dental hygiene. I didn't want to wait a year so I looked up majors that I could use the pre-requisites for. No "calling" or wanting to be Flo Nightingale...

  10. Difficulty Finding NP Preceptors in Charleston, SC

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Gini Lucas's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The best response I have had was a packet I mailed out. It included a cover letter, a CV with my photo, and any/all forms that may be required by the school if they choose to assist me. It is a tad...

  14. Becoming discouraged about becoming a nurse?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to RainbowHead's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, I don't encourage anyone to become a nurse. I advise my own children to go into any other area of healthcare: pharmacy, physician, PA, RT, OT, PT.....anything except the nurse. The large...

  15. Better to Resign, or be Terminated?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to mahroya's topic in Nursing Career

    Resign then at the next interviews you can say it wasn't a good fit. If you are fired then you must explain all of those

  16. WHat's your plan after RN BSN?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to MissLUckyRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Regardless if the name is Mom to 4 referring to another person's children is just sad. I will not dignify you with a further response in regards to my children. As to your education it's great that...

  18. WHat's your plan after RN BSN?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to MissLUckyRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    For me I want a terminal degree in my field so it's a DNP. I'm certainly glad others want to stop at being a nurse, but even APRNs are nurses so that "just a nurse comment" is for the birds. Stop your...

  19. Does nursing school teach you how to react to a dead/dying patient?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to RainbowHead's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nothing teaches you how to deal with death and dying until you experience it. Being in oncology I have had the privilege of being there for some of the bravest people I have ever had the honor of...

  20. Overtime dependent nurses

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    While ideally no one should count on OT to pay the bills it happens. Not at my house but for others. Its none of my business if someone else wants to work

  21. Why can't I do everything a RN does as a LPN? We should be equal.

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to SweetPoo's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well in oncology they don't do the same Job so no they shouldn't be paid the same. If it means that's much to you then feel free to get the same education that we RNs

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Yamamama's topic in General Nursing

    There are schools like excelsior that have something like that. The problem is not every state accepts them. Better really research this before wasting effort and money. Just apply to a school in your...
