  1. Advance Practice Preceptorships - Should students find their own preceptors?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to husky171's topic in Advanced Practice

    No site visits because they oversee too many states is BS. Loyola University New Orleans sends faculty to every site every semester. We even had students in Hawaii & Canada. Your program doesn't...

  2. Autonomy + Skills + Satisfaction

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to IBSavn's topic in Advanced Practice

    I am a new graduate DNP, FNP. I did not wish to work primary care. With my background in oncology, I knew I wanted to work palliative/hospice. I was fortunate enough to find a position in palliative...

  3. New NP, embarrassing salary offer!

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

    I refused low ball offers because I need to be able to pay my loans and live. Also, I just spent 4 years in a BSN-DNP program. I simply worked too darn hard to get to this point to be low balled. I...

  4. New NP, embarrassing salary offer!

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

    I personally turned down everything I considered a low ball offer or any positions that did not offer health insurance. I am very happy that I held out. I'm very happy with the salary especially for...

  5. holidays... sick call...

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

    I don't drink/party so I volunteered for every New Year'S Eve and usually a single younger nurse would take my Christmas. That way I was home with my kids Christmas Day and they could go out and have...

  6. What/why do they say our classes are fluff?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to AAC.271's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Jules, you hit the nail on the head here. Simply advertising nurse is not enough. We must show off our alphabet soup to really be considered successful in this profession. Mom to 4, ADN, BSN, DNP,...

  7. What/why do they say our classes are fluff?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to AAC.271's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I believe this poster just enjoys creating drama. Every single post is something to ruffle feathers. I had plenty of fluff courses during a 4 yr BSN-DNP program. When a preceptor asked to look at our...

  8. Bullied by a colleague

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to enc123's topic in General Nursing

    People can only treat you in a manner in which you allow. She does it because she can. You are allowing the behavior. She is getting a rise from you when you react. Don't discuss her with other...

  9. Switching FNP programs

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

    If you are close to graduating then don't do it. If you don't want to add ridiculous amounts to your loans then don't do it. If you are so unhappy that you can't possibly complete your program and...

  10. Disturbing Conversation on Overweight Healthcare Workers

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    No I said one of the reasons. I had increased ICP due to neurological issues related to Chiari Malformation. Bariatric surgery has been a wonderful thing for me. I no longer have increased ICP. My...

  11. Disturbing Conversation on Overweight Healthcare Workers

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    One of the reasons I had weight loss surgery was to be a better example to patients. I was 225 lbs and I am now 167. I have definitely lived the struggle. I can now honestly explain the benefits of...

  12. Want to get a DNP but need help with a research project

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to tellabella21's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Mine was on Improving Health Literacy in an Independent Pharmacy. About 175 pages I will never use again. Countless hours of my life I won't get

  13. WHNP or FNP Preceptor Needed

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to cmwb BSN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Also, try public health departments. I completed my women's health hours with an amazing WHNP through the health

  14. Why did you decide to become a nurse?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to sd610's topic in General Nursing

    There are so many threads on this. To answer the question though, it was simply because I wait listed for dental hygiene but didn't want to wait a year to start

  15. How to make a good impression precepting

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

    Be on time. If you don't know the answer to a question say I'm not sure let me look that up. Have resources to find what you don't know. There are a lot of apps like 5 Minute Clinical Consult,...

  16. Leaving Nursing for Another Career

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

    Philanthropist would be ideal but most likely not in the

  17. Experience for advanced nursing

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to julesjameson3333's topic in General Nursing

    I completed a BSN to DNP program. We had several new graduate BSNs that began in our cohort without experience. They worked through out the 4 years though and graduated on time. Full time the first...

  18. Am I wrong for thinking that this APRN was wrong?...

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

    As a new graduate LPN you have been set up for failure by not being properly oriented to the job. That said, you must realize that "you don't know what you don't know." Meaning that you need to be...

  19. showering: before or after work

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

    When I worked on the floor I was a pre & post shift shower person too. The thought of sleeping after a 12 HR shift without showering gives me the heebie

  20. Nurse Practitioner vs Physician Assistant

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to nurselyfe4115's topic in General Nursing

    There are FNPs working in Psych but they could have serious scope of practice issues if something goes wrong. Most FNP programs have maybe 1 class on behavioral health and no psychopharmacology. When...

  22. DNP Fluff

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I graduated with my DNP 5/21/16. If I was starting today I would not go the DNP route. I agree there were way too many papers and fluff courses. I will never enter a patient's room asking what would...

  23. BSN-DNP interview, Loyola, 2015

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to harley09's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Good luck I graduated from Loyola University New Orleans 5/21/16. It is a difficult program and most of us took 4 years instead of 3 but it can be done. You really need to be self sufficient as there...

  24. Quick questions about DNP

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to lhaney00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    1) I wanted to leave floor nursing. Floor nursing has become too much about patient satisfaction scores and less about being able to provide quality care. I had no interest in teaching or hospital...

  25. Nurses who don't have the "passion"

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

    Definitely not a calling here. I was wait listed for a dental hygiene program and asked myself what can I do with all these science credits. Immediately was accepted into an ADN program. Learned I...
