  1. Should i become a nurse practioner or wait?

    Sorry :) Yeah, I was just using your name because it was an easy reference.
  2. Should i become a nurse practioner or wait?

    Yeah, thats what I meant, please dont take offence, it wasnt meant to be a personal thing. Also it doesnt really matter if they allow masters NPs if there are no masters NP programs so it kind of creates the same effect whether or not they are techni...
  3. Should i become a nurse practioner or wait?

    Yeah, I think FORTHE LOVEOF!!! is mistaken
  4. Getting Hurt in the Units

    I do expect it in a way, I just dont know how serious things are on a day to day basis
  5. Getting Hurt in the Units

    Havent started yet, sorry guys.
  6. Should i become a nurse practioner or wait?

    I dont think anyone knows for sure yet
  7. How can I gracefully and tactfully say No?

    Nope, I never said it was OK, but this iswere you have something called personal responsibilty to look up who you are taking classes with and what type of school you are going too. There is something called ratemyprofessor.com that I think everyone ...
  8. How can I gracefully and tactfully say No?

    Well I can see it from both ways but for a minute consider this. Lets say you are the dean of a college, everything going along like usual, the occasional cheater here and there and then all of a sudden you have an instructor that is throwing people...
  9. Should i become a nurse practioner or wait?

    Meh, I dissagree. I know plenty of people who dont have bedside experience that are great NPs. You will have to study harder though but also keep in mind, they are getting ready to change the rules so you must have a doctorate to be an NP instead o...
  10. Should i become a nurse practioner or wait?

    In that case I would press forward and tackle it head on while you are still in school mode
  11. Should i become a nurse practioner or wait?

    Depends, if you dont have a TON of loans, I would just go ahead and press forward for your masters now.
  12. Want to know my point of view? I dont care what people do outside of the workplace. I have known several coworkers who had quite the pot habit. I have no idea what they would do if they had to do a UA but nonetheless, I don't care. Since issues l...
  13. Nurses that Create a Hostile Work Environment

    I think that women are mean to each other, bottem line, and I hate to say that but its true. I also thing that ultimately this comes down on management to correct. This CANNOT be tolerated and bullying should be a fire-able offence, not this slap ...
  14. Scared of losing my licence...

    Is this even a serious question? Leave! Run for the hills!
  15. Inappropriate relationship with pt?

    Things happen. There are plenty of stories of happy married couples that met this way, however carrying on at work is always a no no. and you had better be able to keep your mouth shut if you want to keep your job. I wouldn't do it even if I were s...
  16. New RN Training and Institutional Loyalty

    Im sort of in the same boat. I took a job for the summer, knowing that there is a good possibility they will not work with my school schedule when I go back. On one hand I feel like there is a slight tinge of dishonesty there but on the other hand ...
  17. Fired for a medication error

    I dont know about a stat facility but I do work in a state facility. I can assure you, they dont have endless budget ;o) So many typing errors I can barely make out what you are trying to say.
  18. Fired for a medication error

    not enough information to say for sure but I kind of get the feeling OP is disassociating herself/himself from what actually went down. I dont see how the institution would benifit from having to go through the hiring process again vs just reprimand...
  19. Fired from first RN job...does it get better?

    On one hand I feel like you should know that someone needs to see that, even if it was just the busted vial, but I sympathize nonetheless.
  20. Ethical Question...

    RUN FOR THE HILLS
  21. Can we speak frankly about salary? - Switch to CNM program

    Pay your loans down first. 20,000 isnt HUGE as far as loans go, but it is quite a sum. I really would not proceed because the loans are going to be crushing if you just let them compound and compound... you could probably pay that in a year working...
  22. LPN to RN???

    To be honest, There are PLENTY of girls in my program, probably the majority actually, who still work full time and are in nursing school. It's do-able if you are serious. I wouldnt do it, but I struggle academically.
  23. Z track for IM injections?

    This is a topic that you just have to follow the facility policy, some say z tracks and aspiration are kinda antiquated, some still require it... there probably isnt a "right or wrong" answer to this one
  24. Mental Health Tech Question

    This is not something that you should even be disclosing but no, it would not hurt you.
  25. Advice on Psych NP vs. Psychiatry MD/DO

    I'll be honest, it seems strange to me to go through all of nursing school to up and switch over to medical school. Why would you just go to med school in the first place? Not that I discourage it, but if its the title you are after why not just ge...
