    TRAGEDY at Clinical!

    No one knows if she lied. Stop assuming things about people. She reported it as she should have according to the OP. Needle sticks happen and one wouldn't be fired for it so why would one be kicked out of school (or the clinical)? I a...
  2. Stop worrying about others. What difference does it make to you what speciality someone else wants to work? This is their life and their job. It takes a village as they say. I'm sure you didn't go out and ask everybody what they thought you should ...

    MSN FNP or Post-MSN cert?

    Yes, I got my MSN with WGU. I was going for the Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner certificate at Purdue. With them I found if you wanted to transfer any classes- you had to go with the certificate program. I thought it would cut out a lot of tim...

    MSN FNP or Post-MSN cert?

    Yes- Purdue Global doesn't accept those 3 core classes- one of the reasons I dropped them. One of WGU's is a 2 credit class where Purdue is 5 credit. They wouldn't accept my class because it was a 2 credit class. You don't find this crap out until ...
  5. I thought Nova SE offered preceptorships. NO? And how do you like Nova's program? considering it.
  6. I had a doctor tell a patient and family while I was in the room that nurses were worthless. The family responded "but the nurse practitioner said..." Where said Dr then stated nurse practitioners aren't any better than you are they've only had two y...
  7. I can't imagine working in that environment. kudos to you all.

    Which tablets are you using for Kinnser?

    Look into something like the MS Surface PRO. HP make some similar styled 2in1's - they have pens to sign as well. I've had a Surface Pro for a little over 3 years and love it.

    Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    We show up or we get fired. simple ast that.
  13. If you can stay 1 year, that will open doors to a better job. That gives you that 1 year experience often required. If you just can't, and I totally understand if you can't, quit with 2 weeks notice. Always give 2 weeks. Never burn bridges if you ...
  14. California seems to be working out pretty well with some of the highest salaries in the country.

    One could say that it was up to you to make sure nothing happened to your laptop. You knew the coffee was there but did you move the coffee or your laptop to prevent an accident? Did you take any measures at all to protect it? The appropriate thi...

    WGU MSN in 6 months

    Unless all you have to do in life is do schoolwork every day, I don't think it's possible to complete the entire program in 7 months. I"ve now been going for 6 months and it is time consuming. I have a life and I work a full time job- I don't know ...
  21. Will be starting one of these programs Jan 1- I"m having difficulties deciding which to choose. Advice? Pros and Cons? I've had someone tell me that even with the Leadership concentration, I could teach, but with the Edu, that would basically put me...
