  1. Anyone NOT work as a bedside RN while in school?

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

    I just stopped working the floor in June never to return. I'm in year 2 of 3 in a BSN to DNP program and working was stress I did not

  2. How do you know when it's time to move on?

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

    It's time to move on when you feel like it is. I agree really research the area you are interested in. Maybe speak to folks that currently work in that unit. That way you get a realistic picture and...

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to jaznia15's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Loyola University New Orleans, the minimum grade that is considered passing is an 83%. Anything less than that is

  4. Would you do nursing school all over again from start to get your degree?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    I would in fact not go into nursing at all if I had a time machine. It is a thankless job where if anything no matter how small goes wrong Blame the Nurse! I even tell my children to choose anything...

  5. Where do you work and do you like it.

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

    I honestly did not enjoy being a floor nurse during my 4 years at all. It was very liberating to simply quit in June and only focus on my graduate studies. It was simply a means to an end in order to...

  6. Nursing Shortage

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to zack1110's topic in General Nursing

    For the record I was not trying to be "mean" when I pointed out the spelling errors. So thank you for taking the time to go back over it. It truly was making it more of a challenge to get through. I...

  7. fell asleep, administrative leave

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

    Before I left in June on my floor I had turned in no less than 3 nurses for sleeping. One would even duck into empty patient rooms and sleep. I took a picture of her and sent it to the nurse manager....

  8. Nursing Shortage

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to zack1110's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry but I had to stop reading due to all of the typos. It was driving me insane. On topic we are all aware there is no nursing shortage in many areas. If people are willing to relocate then...

  9. Nurse Practioner Vs. Physician Assistant

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to bookworm33's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Honestly, if I wasn't on year 2 out of 3 of a BSN to DNP program then I would go to a PA program. I personally like the medical model of learning better. I think they have better clinical training....

  10. A Mother Seeking Healthcare Career Advice for High School Junior

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

    Tell her to choose pharmacy, PT, OT, Respiratory, PA, or med school. Basically any health care profession other than nursing. That is what I tell my children. There is no nursing shortage and many new...

  11. 8 months as a nurse and I am failing miserably

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to RN119's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ok, deep breath! Did you learn an important lesson from this? If yes then forgive yourself because you are human. Now take what you have learned and move forward. Rule #1 Do not cry on the floor ever!...

  12. Do you need all those degrees?

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

    Well I started with an ADN. Went on for the BSN as an example to my children. I am now in year 2 of 3 in a BSN to DNP program. I am doing it because I want a terminal degree in my

  13. Fired from my first nursing job, before one year

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to mightynurse1's topic in General Nursing

    It's awesome that you had a good review 6 moths out! It means you are on the right track. Just remember sometimes the most dangerous people are those who know a little about a lot of things but are...

  14. To The RN's Who Worked With LPN's In The Hospital..

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

    Everyone has something to offer. The sad truth is when I was new the LPNs taught me more than the RNs. Why? Because they didn't mind taking the time or making the effort to teach

  15. Is it worth getting your BSN right out of ADN school?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That's half the battle with nursing isn't it? There is no set standard across the board. The BSN portion of the RN to BSN is to give more theory, research, and classes like that. We don't need...

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  17. Is it worth getting your BSN right out of ADN school?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Judgemental much? ODU is a great school about 45 minutes from my house. It just happens to count time working in lieu of clinical. This is not some fly by night operation. Their on campus version did...

  18. Is it worth getting your BSN right out of ADN school?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

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

    I'm in year 2 of 3 in a BSN to DNP through Loyola University New Orleans. Honestly, it really is the most difficult and stressful thing I have ever done in my

  20. Is it worth getting your BSN right out of ADN school?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes, I had a job before I graduated and still went straight into an RN to BSN program. My only regret? Not completing the BSN from the get go! Now I'm in graduate school and then I will finally be...

  21. if you could do it over again....

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

    I believe nurses are undervalued and definitely not respected. If anything goes wrong from not being fast enough with pain medicine to the "ice isn't cold enough" (I have actually had the ice...

  22. Nursing makes me hate fat people

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

    One of the reasons I'm stepping away from the bedside. It is physically draining and frustrating to deal with some of those patients. I'm only 35 and too many more years to work to lose it all due to...

  23. if you could do it over again....

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

    I don't recommend nursing to anyone even my own children. That being said if you attend then go and get the BSN. Many facilities require it now and there is no nursing shortage. Anything that can set...

  25. How did you KNOW...

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

    Well I truly did not like floor/acute care nursing at all. I'm now in a BSN to DNP program to become a FNP. Unfortunately, the RN is at the bottom of the mountain & we all know what rolls down...
