  1. FQHC

    Thank you for advising me about the score. I will be sure to look into that. When I begin to interview I hope to be able to shadow or visit the facility before agreeing to take the job. I believe that...
  2. FNP clinical sites

    It really does come down to who you know. Be willing to travel. I'm licensed in 2 states. This is my last semester of my DNP program and I'm driving 1.5 hrs each way to a FQHC in a rural area with...
  3. Loyola University New Orleans

    I have applied for the BSN to DNP program at Loyola University New Orleans. Has anyone been a student in this program or are u currently enrolled? I would appreciate any thoughts or advice on the...
  4. Would you choose nursing again or another health profession?

    No I honestly I would not. I would have completed undergrad in Biology and gone to a PA program. Many will not agree but it's my personal opinion. I graduate with my DNP in May because I never found a...
  5. Nursing VS Dental Hygienist

    Oddly enough I only went into nursing after being wait listed for a DH
  6. NP v. PA

    I'm graduating in May from a BSN to DNP program in May. If I were beginning today then I would go the PA route. Having experienced my curriculum I would have preferred the medical model but that's my...
  7. Paging Doctor Nurse

    I had 3 reasons for choosing the BSN to DNP program. First, I wanted a terminal degree in nursing. Second, I only wanted to go through graduate school once. At any point if the DNP becomes a...

  9. FNP in a psychiatric office?

    I am still a BSN to DNP student. I specifically contacted the BON in VA with this question as part of an assignment. I never could get anyone to return my call or emails. I just assumed that it was...
  10. Is ADN sufficient to ba trauma RN?

    In my area the answer would be no. Area hospitals here are only hiring BSNs and have given deadline for current employees to earn their BSN. Good
  11. What nursing task do you loathe???

    Trachs make me want to vomit. The sound, smell, and auctioning make my skin crawl. Doesn't mean I don't do it but definitely not my
  12. New NP & DEA #

    I will graduate in May 2016 and have begun to look into everything that happens once I graduate. I am in Virginia and trying to figure out if I have to have a collaborating physician before I can...
  13. I also hated the floor. I went back for the BSN first. Never really found what interested me. I will graduate with the DNP next May. I have found that I do enjoy the role of provider. Hope you find a...
  14. RN after PhD?

    No skip nursing all together. Go to PA school with that degree there should be no issue being accepted into a program. Then you will be out and caring for patients making more than a bedside
  15. Nursing uncertainty

    Don't give up. There are many jobs that aren't bedside. If you enjoy leadership maybe look into a MSN or DNP executive nurse leadership. Utilization Review, Nurse Managers, insurance companies are...
  16. Is the BSN worth it?

    In my area if you want to work in hospital setting then you need a BSN. There is no shortage in my area with over 5 schools pumping out nurses. You need to know the market where you
  17. C in Chemistry. ADN program at Community College

    I had a C in chemistry I and a B in part II. I also had a C in both parts of A&P. I will graduate next May with my DNP. Don't listen to opinions. Apply to where you want. If you don't get into to...
  18. Failed, nclex rn 5 times! Help?!?!

    Well guys at we can put on the licensed "clogs". Ok now see that was a dig
  19. Failed, nclex rn 5 times! Help?!?!

    Because I disagree I am bitter? Ok I will take that. I don't consider myself a genius but I have busted my butt in every endeavor. If you buy tools why not put 100% into using them? Excuses are just...
  20. Failed, nclex rn 5 times! Help?!?!

    Also, excuses about working and family don't fly for me. I graduated my ADN program in 2009 with twin 6 yr olds, an 8 yr old, and a 12 yr old. I took the Kaplan Review and passed the first time with...
  21. Failed, nclex rn 5 times! Help?!?!

    It's not opinion that the NCLEX tests minimum competency. It's not opinion that nurses deal with lives. Its not opinion that without passing said NCLEX that one can't be a nurse. Failing 5 times means...
  22. failed nclex for the third time

    Take a review course, study, and do practice questions. That's all I did and passed the first try with 75 questions. Nursing isn't for everyone and just wanting to be one isn't enough. As I mentioned...
  23. Failed, nclex rn 5 times! Help?!?!

    After failing 5 times there is a breakdown. You need review courses to refresh your memory. You also need to really ask yourself if nursing is for you? The NCLEX is testing basic knowledge to be...
  24. Failed, nclex rn 5 times! Help?!?!

    I will say the same thing I said when someone posted they failed 7 times. Something is inherently wrong if you have not passed in 5 attempts. This is a test of the basic knowledge needed to become a...
  25. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    My understanding was that if a person had felony convictions then you could not be licensed. Her name is incredibly easy to find and I imagine co-workers would also have this
