  1. Is not answering the phone for work bad?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to CedarGirl10's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a floor nurse, I even trained the kids not to answer certain numbers. If I'm not at work don't call me

  2. Advanced degree with a felony

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to OphNurse's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You should check with you BON but I'm thinking it may be an issue. Also, you could be refused prescriptive authority and DEA privileges. Time to do your

  3. Do new grads learn complete physical assessment in todays world???

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

    If you are already gone then include that info in the good old patient satisfaction survey. Tell them that you are concerned for the safety of other patients as you work in healthcare and know what...

  4. For The Love Of All That Is Holy . . . .

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

    Ain't is also in the dictionary but not proper English. If people choose to accept it then good for them. I will continue to

  5. For The Love Of All That Is Holy . . . .

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

    Please stop "orientated" one is oriented and is on orientation while orienting. One does not orientate:sour: We also do not "conversate". People converse with each other and have conversations....

  6. ANCC and AANP Certification

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

    Part of it depends on your state BON. My state's website indicates that it will take 30-45 days. It took every bit of 45 days then another month for prescriptive authority as that was a separate...

  7. How to annoy irritating Drs.

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Avid reader's topic in Nursing Humor

    Simply put a troll stirring the pot. Probably planning the next post to create a

  8. Nurses Eating Nursing Students

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

    You have received honest answers. I guess the question becomes do you want to be right or happy? Somewhere in these pages I think I read that you are now a new grad RN. So my advice to you is since...

  9. How Many Letters Do We Need?

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

    I'm a bit of an overachiever by nature. I earned the ADN but immediately went for the BSN. I earned a med/surg certification. Did not enjoy floor nursing. Decided to go to graduate school but...

  10. Sick of floor nursing, what now?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to r0seRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I have some friends that work for insurance companies. How about occupational health, tele health, school nurse, or home

  11. How to annoy irritating Drs.

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Avid reader's topic in Nursing Humor

    Humor has a time and place as does trolling apparently. I just don't happen to see the behavior you describe as humorous. Pretending that you can not understand or hear a provider is simply obnoxious...

  12. So what's going to happen to health care now?

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

    That is true but in my experience it was less pronounced under ACA. In my clinical rotations through primary care the last few years we definitely had many more patients that had not been seen in...

  13. So what's going to happen to health care now?

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

    We will return to the Haves & the Have Nots. A lot of people that voted for Trump especially coal miners will be screwed. Black lung was covered by ACA and now they will no longer have that nor...

  14. Obsessed with Scrubs

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Longleggedstar's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Another tall & skinny here but don't like tight or form fitting. Every facility I have worked at though had color coded uniforms. Only so much originality with all Royal Blue

  15. How to annoy irritating Drs.

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Avid reader's topic in Nursing Humor

    I can't for the life of me imagine a scenario where this behavior would be tolerated nor appropriate. I have never worked in an environment which would employ a nurse acting in this manner long. I am...

  16. Prenursing major not having good grades to apply to nursing .

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

    Is English your second language? Some of your post is difficult to follow with grammatical errors. Ds will not be competitive enough, but if I am following you and you have retaken those courses and...

  17. Why have you decided to become a NP and not a Doctor?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Lightning90's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In my opinion, there is a big difference. These are PAs that have been practicing not newly licensed. These programs are the equivalent of a MSN, NP going back for the DNP online. Not the same as a...

  18. FNP-BC & FNP-C

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

    I never received my score from the ANCC. I called and they told me that scores are only given to those that did not pass. I did receive my score from the

  19. Why have you decided to become a NP and not a Doctor?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Lightning90's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I believe nurses often choose the wrong hill to die on. I couldn't care less if I'm never referred to as Dr. at work. I know what I have achieved. My husband is a pharrmD and doesn't use the title...

  20. FNP-BC & FNP-C

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

    I thought the ANCC was more difficult. I actually thought that I had not passed while taking it. There were a lot of research based questions that I literally guessed on. I don't feel like the ANCC...

  21. Be honest: do you feel valued by your employer?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to sunnyskies9's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a floor nurse I never once felt valued where I was employed. The only thing administration seemed to care about was a pulse & a license. No one cared that you were stretched too thin,...

  22. Is nursing school worth the strain on family

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

    I had been a stay at home Mom for many years. I have 4 children and went back to school when my boys were old enough for preschool. It was tough because mine were 9, 5, 3, & 3 and children do not...

  23. Unsolicited Advice From A Preceptor

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Izzy11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My program provided zero assistance with finding preceptors unless you were located in Louisiana where the school is located. I found all of my preceptors some good and some not so much. This is my...

  24. Help with clinical goals

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

    Performing PAP smears and well woman exams Identifying STDs and treatment options Finding fetal heart tones Measuring the growing abdomen correctly for fundal height Learning how to know if you are...

  25. Unsolicited Advice From A Preceptor

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Izzy11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    During my pediatric rotation my preceptor was the one that was unprofessional. Not once but twice she was gone for a week at a time and never said a word to me. Luckily, another provider took pity on...
