  1. Is there such thing as financial aid for graduate school?

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

    I did not have loans until graduate school. Complete the FAFSA and google graduate loans. Many choices available. As previously mentioned there are also scholarships, grants, etc

  2. Calling in for no sleep

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I am of the opinion that is no one's business why you are calling in. I also worked nights and it can take a lot out of you. I don't feel like we should have to explain why we can not get...

  3. Pass the ANCC 5/12/2016

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to jw1234's topic in General Nursing

    I'm getting ready to take AANP. Any recommendations specifically geared toward your 2

  4. Is it really that bad?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Sage611's topic in General Nursing

    For me, yes it really was that bad. Oddly enough, I only became a nurse after being wait listed for Dental Hygiene. It definitely was not a calling. Nursing is corporate driven: do more with less,...

  5. compensation poll

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Sully64's topic in General Nursing

    My last employer paid $1/HR for certifications but nothing for BSN. My first employer paid 0.50/HR for BSN and more for certifications that was in Southwest

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to 20plusyearRN's topic in General Nursing

    Caller I.D.......I trained my kids what numbers to not

  7. Don't go to co-workers' parties where drinking is occurring

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

    I find that being with co-workers outside of work is best not done. Work and those you work with are best left there. Home is for family and friends. I've seen too many confuse that and be thrown...

  8. When a patient complains

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

    I had a patient that complained the ice I brought her wasn't cold enough. Not sure what's colder than frozen but oh well. Just ridiculous that is even given attention. This Burger King drive through...

  9. Nursing school instructor made me cry today

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to nutterbutter34's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to nursing school. Word to the wise never let students, faculty, or coworkers see tears. Wait until your are in your car, the shower, or anywhere else but once the dogs smell fear it's hunting...

  10. What offends you (nursing related)?

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

    People that don't realize coworkers rarely make good friends. Eventually, something occurs and they feel hurt because their "friend" has betrayed them at work. We can be a team without breakfast or...

  11. That one random nugget of information from nursing school that you've never forgotten..

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

    Pink Puffers vs Blue

  12. ATI Comprehensive Predictor

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to thines93's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I never scored well on ATI but I passed my first try with 75 questions. I felt the Kaplan Review was most

  13. What have you learned in nursing school that was utter nonsense?

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

    Nursing theory all through the BSN and right on through the DNP program I will graduate from May 21st. I have yet in clinicals experienced a time going in to see a patient while thinking "What would...

  14. What's up with all the 'failed NCLEX' posts?

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

    Some of the students that failed the NCLEX in my cohort were the ones that had gotten A's all the way through school. I passed 1st attempt with 75 questions and was an average student. Every test we...

  15. Nursing is the Biggest Mistake of My Life

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

    Then you will need to be very flexible with your job hunt. If it's a federally qualified health center then you look in every state with openings. If Mr. Man doesn't want to go better you learn that...

  16. Do you have to be an extrovert to make it as a Nurse?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Want2BeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, you only need to be competent and friendly at work. I'm very introverted but I can be social out of necessity at work. At home I don't speak to or hang out with neighbors. If I'm home I just want...

  17. Tell me why you regret about becoming a Nurse

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Want2BeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I tell my children if they are interested in healthcare to be anything but the nurse. Pharmacist, PT, OT, PA, Physician, Respiratory, or whatever else. Nurses work long hours with little to no breaks...

  18. Failed twice. Trying Kaplan ?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to catmom713's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed on my first try with 75 questions after the Live Kaplan Review. I must have completed a zillion practice questions. I felt like some of the actual questions were all but exactly what I had...

  19. Stressed about getting into Grad school. In need of therapeutic commnication. :'(

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to nerdynurse2b94's topic in General Nursing

    I believe you are putting the cart before the horse. You need to not only complete the ADN program but most DNP programs require a BSN as well. That being said there are so many programs available you...

  20. Did you really want to be a nurse?

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

    No I originally wanted to be a Dental Hygienist. I was wait listed for that program and didn't want to wait. I looked at the course work I had and asked what can I do with this? So I applied to the...

  21. Should I leave this racist town?

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

    I was just going to say this. Log everything dates, times, names, comments, reactions. Don't advertise it or keep it where those folks can find it. When you hit that year mark you go to HR if it...

  22. Nursing is a passion?

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

    My passion is feeding my kids, keeping clothes on them, and a roof over our

  23. FQHC

    Palliative Care, DNP posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    I graduate in May and will have a sizable amount in loans. I know that working in a FQHC can assist in paying those down. Unfortunately, that is the only positive I've heard. A preceptor told me the...

  24. RN, NP, or PA?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to futurenurse168's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will answer this from the perspective of a BSN nurse that is completing a DNP program in May. I will be eligible to sit for the FNP boards upon graduation. If I were beginning today instead of...
