  1. Bye Bye Floor Nursing

    I have left the world of floor nursing! It is like the clouds parted with light beaming down. I'm now only focusing on my grad program. Just 5 semesters left in my BSN to DNP. I detested every minute...

  4. Bye Bye Floor Nursing

    Lub Dub yes I will be able to sit for the FNP boards when I graduate. Don't feel sorry for me. I just never liked bedside nursing at all. I discourage my children from being nurses. I think nursing is...
  5. Burned out already

    I absolutely hated every minute of being a floor nurse until I quit the other day! It stinks and I am not a waitress now nor ever. I am hoping that I will enjoy my new role as a FNP in a couple years....
  6. Is it too early to go the MSN/NP route after just a year?

    I say go for it! The NP & the bedside RN are 2 completely separate roles. They do not have the same job description. I'm in year 2 of a BSN to DNP program. So far being an RN has given me critical...
  7. Too much to do for ONE PERSON, staying late to catch up

    I don't stay late unless absolutely unavoidable. Everything you just said is why I'm getting out of floor nursing. I am but one person and all of the constant demands & new tasks is
  8. Does anyone else plan to stay in bedside?

    Well count me in the pot of stepping stones! I detest floor nursing and am currently in a BSN to DNP program. I would eventually like to use my NP in hospice or palliative care. Can not imagine...

  11. So who do nurses marry or have as civil partners???

    I am married to a pharmacist. Proud to say he opened his pharmacy about a month
  12. "When Was the Last Time I Wow'ed a Patient?"

    Wowing patients as the standard is exactly why I am in graduate school. Our goal should not be to wow every patient. That isn't why any of us became nurses. We are there to provide the highest level...
  13. Low census

    Wouldn't mind a little slowing here. All 32 beds on my floor have been staying
  14. DNP seems like a waste...

    I am in a BSN to DNP program. I just completed year 1. I do believe we have many classes that will not help me to be a better provider. I'm tired of 10-20+ page papers. I have no plans to work in...
  15. Disgusted with nursing career

    Keep plugging away until you find what you are looking for. Practice assessments on anyone at home that will allow you to do so. You could always go to a RN to MSN program and become a mental health...
  16. Blue about Code Blue

    Every day as I too work oncology. Some patients are coded several times because family can't accept or do not want them to be a DNR and they are no longer able to make decisions. I absolutely believe...

  18. bedside nursing, is it really that bad?

  19. Not Excited About Becoming FNP

    I am currently finishing my 1st year of a BSN to DNP in Family Practice. While I am not sure exactly what kind of setting I want to work in I do know I hate floor nursing. CRNA wasn't on my radar so...
  20. Saying no when work calls

    I am in graduate school and have gone prn at work. I give them a specific list of days that I can work. You would think that would not be a hard concept to follow but WRONG. They still call almost...
  21. "I'm not floating."

    Our unit has a list of who is supposed to float too. Does it always get followed? Not so much. I float though because it is an $3.00/hour for me. Floor nursing in general is ghastly in my opinion so...
  22. Saying no when work calls

    They call me all the time too. Leave messages basically telling me I will work. Um NO I won't I am prn and in graduate school. While I am sorry that my coworkers can not grasp that point its not my...
  23. Super Obese

    Things such as this are why I went to graduate school. Come 2015 no more floor nursing here! It's the most thankless job ever and I would like to grow old with my
  24. Preceptor Connect

    Bc I was nasty I reported them to the BBB for shady dealings along with other nurses on here. They could provide me no proof that they had ever done anything on my behalf and refused to even speak to...
  25. Preceptor Connect

    Do not use preceptor connect bc it is a scam. They took my money and did nothing. After threatening filing with the BBB I was given a refund. They will not you a phone # or a specific person to speak...
