  1. Fought the good fight...

    Keep researching because I believe there are several online RN to BSN programs that do not require working experience. I went straight into ODU's RN to BSN program as soon as I graduated. Good Luck to...
  2. Why Is It That Everyone Thinks They're A Good Nurse?

    True there are those that scraped by in nursing school and maybe repeated classes. There are also those that took the NCLEX 5 time in order to be called RN. Some are good some are not. I have also...
  3. Low Census

    Anyone else's hospital suffering from low census a a lot recently? Every time I turn around I am on call or floated. At least floating I am getting paid since I have no time left to cover all these on...
  4. Income potential as private practice nurse practitioner?

    I'm sorry but I believe you are jumping the gun totally. If you are a nursing student then you should be focused on becoming a NURSE. Then you can worry about how to increase you salary for another...
  5. Is a DNP worth it in my situation?

    I am going to be attending full time beginning this May. There are quite a few of us us in the cohort that are on here. I will just be working flexi if I can manage. If that is too much then I won't...
  6. Let's See Some Positivity! :)

    Here is some positivity for today..... I can't wait for my graduate program to begin in May. I am very much looking forward to becoming a FNP after bedside
  7. Conservative school for DNP?

    Perhaps one should learn how to be an NP before considering their political agenda. It is kind of like basic nursing school when you have to clean poop. Yes you really will need to treat poor...
  8. from ADN to FNP

    I started as an ADN and then completed an RN to BSN program. I am about to begin a BSN to DNP program and there is not one course that I did not have that I needed. Just really look at all of your...
  9. Poor nurse role models.. is this what I have to look forward to?

    I have to agree with Wooh here on this one. This is probably a result of burnout. Is it an excuse? No but it happens very easily. Everyone starts out bright eyed and bushy tailed with the goal of...
  10. RN-BSN online classes...chances at a job?

    I completed my RN to BSN through ODU and no one ever asked me anything about it being online. Never had any issues. Of course it is a state school and not a diploma mill so maybe that is
  11. Why such high new RN turnover?

    Personally, I never worked a day as a CNA and do not see it as particularly beneficial. Unless of course you see your whole future as an RN as cleaning poop and repositioning patients etc. The roles...
  12. What NOT to say during an interview

    Wow just wow. I believe I may have advised her that she had just done an exemplary job of talking me out of hiring her. Then given the "don't call us we won't call you" good
  13. Defining nursing with a single word...

  16. Finally decided to quit nursing

    I absolutely can not stand bedside nursing anymore either! I am going prn in April and count down every single shift I have left until then. I find it absolutley miserable and dread every single...

    Crongratulations! I pray there are jobs available when you are
  18. Took NCLEX for the third time & failed...

    Quite honestly my school used ATI and I thought it was nothing at all like the NCLEX. Kaplan was most helpful to me. I took the review class and answered as many questions as I possibly could. I...
  19. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    I must say that after having read this entire post some of our members really need to step back and review how their posts are being perceived. There are individuals that have come across as a tad...

    Four kids, a husband who can not pay everything alone, & we like to

  22. In a few years all RNs will be required to have a BSN?

    The hospital I work in has already stopped hiring nurses that do not have a BSN. All current staff have been given a future date that a BSN will be required by. The facility is not grandfathering in...
  23. Impossible job expectations

    Sounds about right only I work on a med/surg-oncology unit. These reasons coupled with the fact that patients now believe the hospital is the Burger King drive through where "you can have it your way"...
  24. Loyola University New Orleans

    I am only bringing my husband we are staying at the Ibervile Suites. It was the best priced and on hotels.com even cheaper. Kids are staying with
  25. NPs practicing as DRs

    Well personally I do not think the education I am about to receive will be a joke. It is a tough 3 year program that will take a lot of time and dedication. I also have no intention of having patients...
