  1. Lowest turnover specialty

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to guest769224's topic in General Nursing

    In my facility its L&D or Mother/Baby. Those nurses have been there since Adam & Eve. There are never any openings and they do not plan on retiring. So there is something to be said for

  2. As a single nurse were you able to buy a home?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to pixiestudent2's topic in General Nursing

    My advice is to definitely buy what you can afford on your base salary. Never depend on overtime that may or may not always be there to pay your bills. I believe in the crash many people fell victim...

  3. Nursing students not happy to hear about how tough it is to get started as a nurse

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

  4. Anyone care to share what made you fall in love with Nursing career?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Fall15NYU's topic in General Students

  6. Official NP "No Fly" list

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to bsnanat2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am seeing this in my area as well. I completed one of my rotations through the health department. She literally had a list on the wall off all the schools that they would not take students

  7. stuck.

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

    I always say the same things. Instead of asking here just apply to everywhere that you are interested. The worst they can say is no thanks. Many programs take life not just grades into account. Also,...

  8. Have you ever disliked a nursing job so much that you quit without notice?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    I did one time when I truly felt like the work environment may cause someone to lose their license. I found another position and as soon I had a start date I walked out of the bad job. They wanted 30...

  10. FNP salary?? Productivity stipend?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to ked022214's topic in General Nursing

    I see that wasn't directed at me. FYI I have been a floor nurse. Know what else? I hated every single moment of it. I went back to school for new opportunities. I have really enjoyed my FNP clinicals...

  11. FNP salary?? Productivity stipend?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to ked022214's topic in General Nursing

    Also, take into account the floor RN making 4-5,000/month is working a lot. The NP is working 40 hours/week for that. I have no desire to work OT or multiple jobs. Therefore, NP looks great to me....

  12. Recommendations for a student that started with C's but ended with A's

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

    Apply and see what happens. People will tell you that's not good enough. I got into an ADN program with a C in A&P I & II. Had no problem transferring to an RN to BSN program. Had no problem...

  13. Any hospital units that DON'T use telemetry?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    The facility I left was at about to have telemetry on every unit when I stopped working to focus on grad school. Their reasoning was that an admission should never have to wait because a unit "didn't...

  15. Failed 5th time is there God I can't study anymore!!!!!!!!

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

    Exactly, test anxiety doesn't fly as an excuse after 5 times. I know plenty of people with test anxiety that passed the second time because they knew what to expect and got it done. Five times not...

  16. Failed 5th time is there God I can't study anymore!!!!!!!!

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

    Flame suit is on so I'm ready to be flamed. I think after not passing 5 times you need to re-evaluate. There really should be a cap on attempts at the NCLEX. The test is supposed to indicate the...

    Palliative Care, DNP posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Since I have not had a response on the student NP section....I am a BSN and am looking into several different BSN to DNP programs. Has anyone gone through one of these and how did it go for you? I was...

  18. BSN to DNP

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

    Due to an unforeseen set back I will now graduate May 2016. I had to create a whole new capstone project. So it is taking me 4 years and out of the 40 people that began cohort 1 of this program only 6...

  19. nursing theory

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to ebyan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Honestly, nursing theory is a lot of BS. A lot of the grand theories make no sense to anyone. I have never used nursing theory in daily life and it simply becomes more ridiculous at the graduate...

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience with floating yes it was always the worst assignments. The super demanding, the bed jumpers, the Q2 hr pain meds, the completely immobile total cares, or the difficult

  21. Pathway to DNP

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

    I'm in a BSN to DNP program on my 4th year. Honestly, I wish we did obtain the MSN 1/2 way through so that we could go out and get experience. MSN to DNP students have had an easier time as they...

  22. why do nurses discourage nursing students?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to direw0lf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everything they say is absolutely true. You will be overworked, have tired feet, ruined back, and be the least appreciated member of the team. In fact I detested floor nursing and tell my kids be...

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to shantel_92's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My friend took all 265 and passed. I was done in 75 questions and hate to wait for her as we rode together. She took almost every available minute. She also passed! Good

  25. Current RN applied for FNP MS programs.

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to eternity112's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As a student in a BSN to DNP program that went in with experience, no I do not believe it is necessary. An NP and an RN are 2 completely separate jobs. You may even have an edge because you don't have...
