  1. Does how much money we make and benefits really matter

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

    Some of the hardest working people I know don't make much money. I found this to be an offensive question. Lazy people come with every type of pay check in every tax

  2. I do not like patient care nursing :(

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Nurseheidi321's topic in Nursing Career

    Any desire to go back to school? I would at least change your avatar and screen name if you are going to post about how much you do not like your job. Employers are all over the internet these days....

  3. Stupid Nurse Tricks (Or How To Look Incredibly Stupid)

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

    As a new grad nurse went in to assess a post op patient. The patient was an elderly gentleman. An elderly woman and a middle aged woman were at the bedside. Comment about "oh you must be the daughter...

  4. CRNA/FNP/PA

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to NinaAnder1225's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    CRNA is most likely the highest pay check. Not sure about mobility. NPs have autonomy and some states can practice independent of a physician. Moving up? Not sure own your business perhaps. PAs must...

  5. The Culture of Nursing

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

    The need for nursing to compete with other health professions in education and respect. If we respected ourselves and were on the same page as a profession then we would be

  6. Get my associate degree in nursing or my bachelor degree in nursing?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to HatTrickHero11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why is this still a question? I advise anyone going back to school to get the BSN. Just look at all the posts asking about ADNs being phased out. BSN is going to become entry to practice eventually....

  7. Get your BSN or "Get Out"

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

    Just about every hospital here has done the same thing. Time to jump on the train or be left

  8. Advice on snagging preceptors

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Cal-Neva's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It has truly been an all hands on deck experience for me. My husband is a pharmacist and helped me with a couple placements. An old neighbor from childhood hooked me up with OB/gyn. Use all...

  9. What is/was your job going through grad school?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to 403RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I stopped working in June to focus full time on school. My doctoral capstone begins this summer on top of everything else. There just aren't enough hours in the day. Something had to give in order to...

  10. WHY do I need a BSN?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to AnnMarie52471's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The truth is in life we do a lot of things that aren't necessary but required. The wave of the future is the requirement of the BSN. People can either get on board or not complain when they are left...

  11. With an ASN will it be hard to find a job?

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

    In my area you will be working LTC or something like that. All local hospitals want BSN and current employees have been given deadlines to get

  12. DNP seems like a waste...

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

    For me it's not about being a "doctor". I want a terminal degree in my field just as my husband has one in

  13. RN->BSN ODU Teletechnet/Online

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to EMTtoRNinVA's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I completed the program completely online. Make sure you focus on APA format. Some instructors are death on

  14. WHY do I need a BSN?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to AnnMarie52471's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am originally an ADN graduate. I went back for the BSN because it was important to me. I want all of my children to go to college. I think if that is my expectation then I should also meet the...

  15. Confused about how one year experience is calculated?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to rhp123's topic in General Nursing

    If you have made it to 11 months then you can survive to that ever important 1 year mark. The whole last month search for another position. I agree that with the current market it would be unwise to...

  16. Advice/Guidance for going into healthcare (not nursing related)

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Kingfhearts517's topic in General Nursing

    You could get a pharmacy degree and make a lot of money. Become a District or Regional manager in a couple years. I don't recommend nursing personally but that's just

  17. Which path for degree? BSN or MSN?

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

    If you know you want an MSN and can find a reputable RN to MSN program then go for it. Old Dominion University in VA offers

  18. i'll probably get flamed to the moon and back for this but..

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

    I honestly have never enjoyed nursing. That doesn't mean I am not good at what I do. I was wait listed for dental hygiene and didn't want to wait a year. I thought what can I do with these science...

  19. About That Avatar...

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

    It also makes me wonder too. Now, employers look at everything and anything they have capability to find about employees. It would be a shame to miss out on an opportunity because of something that...

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

    I agree with Princess Bride. Pharmacy, PT, OT, basically anything but nursing. That is unless you can relocate to an area where there truly is a nursing

  22. I've failed NCLEX-RN 3 times and need advice

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to bugbear_doodlebug's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Only two choices here. 1) head down keep plugging away or 2) move on. How bad do you want this? Are you psyching yourself

  23. I can't find work!!

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Quit Floating Me's topic in Nursing Career

    Wow, your track record is a hot mess! I would venture to guess they opt not to gamble on you. Especially, if they check work references and learn you are a non-rehire at one facility. Maybe look into...

  24. Work days or nights during NP program

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Future FNP 14's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I worked nights during the first year of my 3 year program. Now in year 2 there is no way I feel like I can successfully pass and work. I'm not working again until it is as a

  25. Very discouraged...I regret not becoming a CNA during RN school.

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Cynnie24's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There are jobs to be had across the U.S. If you are willing to relocate. That is the reality. How badly do you want that first job and are you willing to move to get
