  1. John Hopkins All childrens or UF Health Gainesville NICU

    DowntheRiver replied to ajbrooks's topic in Florida Nursing

    I live in the Tampa Bay Area. The cost of living here is absurd. I live on the outskirts of the metro area because nurse wages are not what they should be here. They're not awful but they're not...

  2. Review of The First Cell

    DowntheRiver replied to NormaSaline's topic in Oncology

    I'll have to take a look on Amazon and read the first few chapters. As a Millenial and Oncology nurse (who had Hodgkin's), I found this article quite interesting:...

  3. ABSN programs Florida

    DowntheRiver replied to KrisM1108's topic in Florida Nursing

    I believe the above poster is correct about FSU no longer having the ABSN program. I was just on the website yesterday applying for the MSN to DNP program and I only saw the traditional BSN program...

  4. How would you improve the nursing profession? (beyond better staffing, higher pay, etc)

    DowntheRiver replied to labordude's topic in General Nursing

    Go back to diploma nursing education programs. Well, better incorporate those programs into current nursing education programs. We need to start from the bottom up. Better preparing students will...

  5. Have Not Worked Since Graduating Nursing School

    DowntheRiver replied to OrchidLoveYIZ312's topic in General Nursing

    I had a 1.5 year gap between graduating and taking the NCLEX due to health issues. I was open and honest about it and never had an issue. But, I'm in

  6. The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) RN-BSN Reviews

    DowntheRiver replied to DowntheRiver's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    If I recall correctly, the management class was pretty simple time wise and heavily worksheet based. I remember having to write a paper about the manager I shadowed and having to fill in a worksheet...

  7. The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) RN-BSN Reviews

    DowntheRiver replied to DowntheRiver's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    This question would be better suited for UTA. This post is about students who are already RNs and are completing the RN to BSN program. Sorry I couldn't be of more

  8. What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    DowntheRiver replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just going to leave this here.... Cancer-Causing HPV Almost Eliminated From Young Women In England Thanks To Vaccine

  9. Haven't worked since I graduated

    DowntheRiver replied to nnasser83's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of the HCA facilities will put nurses through their Nurse Residency program if they're drastically switching specialties or have less than a year of hospital experience. I am a nurse with over...

  10. Such thing as too late to negotiate?

    DowntheRiver replied to Sheika34's topic in General Nursing

    Is it a clinic or unit? If it is a clinic then the pay is typically lower because of the no nights/weekends/holidays perk. One post you say unit, another you say clinic, so I don't

  11. Help, I Feel Like A Failure

    DowntheRiver replied to Uriel95's topic in General Students

    Honestly, if what you are saying is true, I'd appeal you grades based on medical/mental health reasons. I know this can be done, even when the grades have been finalized. When I found out I had...

  12. Doctors offended by TV show about nurses

    DowntheRiver replied to FullGlass's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to see a show about other areas of nursing, not just the ER. A lot of crazy interesting things happen in other areas of

  13. Pursuing Nursing - Need Direction

    DowntheRiver replied to southike's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RN is not a certification, it is a license. I'm assuming you mean ASN or diploma, but nonetheless thought it should be

  14. Change from software to NP

    DowntheRiver replied to MayaSwiss's topic in General Students

    There are a few direct entry MSN programs but I don't think any of them are part time and they're pretty

  15. Between a Rock and a Hard Place

    DowntheRiver replied to StillSearchingRN's topic in General Nursing

    Can you file for disability protection? Sounds like you have some issues that would qualify. I would research the ADA and ask for

  16. Writing help

    DowntheRiver replied to raindrop's topic in Advanced Practice

    Not to freak you out, but my MSN is way more than 20 papers. 14 classes x 3 papers per course = 42 papers. This does not include 4-5 discussion boards APA formatted that typically consist of 500-750...

  17. The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) RN-BSN Reviews

    DowntheRiver replied to DowntheRiver's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    If you're certified that actually covers your one of your nursing electives, FYI Easy courses that I took: NURS 3309 Medical Terminology NURS 3352 Legacy of the

  18. The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) RN-BSN Reviews

    DowntheRiver replied to DowntheRiver's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    This is a good idea as they are very time consuming. Otherwise, you can double up. I didn't double up nursing classes but I often took history with a nursing course and would say it is very similar...

  19. RN-BSN @ UTA - Health Promotion Course

    DowntheRiver replied to CardiacDork's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    If I correctly recall this assignment from a couple years ago, this suggestion is

  20. Two Jobs: Full-time night, Part-time day

    DowntheRiver replied to ADNRN2016's topic in General Nursing

    I have a co-worker that works ICU nights (usually Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday) then works PRN days on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in our Oncology clinic. When I say PRN, that's how she is...

  21. Billing for Time Spent on Survivorship Care Plans?

    DowntheRiver replied to Lane Therrell FNP's topic in Oncology

    Do any of you work in Survivorship Clinics? I'd be interested in some professional contacts of nurses on the outside who work in Survivorship Clinics or who work on treatment summaries/care

  22. My Parents are Nurses and Don’t Support My Withdrawal from Nursing School

    DowntheRiver replied to ACR's topic in General Students

    You say you are in a LPN to RN program, so you're already a nurse then, right? You don't mention having worked as a nurse, so what has your experience been with that? I have a coworker who was a RD...

  23. You should never ask a nurse this question.

    DowntheRiver replied to Nurse Yoni's topic in General Nursing

    I get asked this a fair amount, too. As if nursing is some sort of consolation prize. Nope, I love being a nurse. Nope, I don't want to be an APP. I don't want the responsibilities of being a...

  24. Help!!! New grad military spouse

    DowntheRiver replied to Valley_girl1021's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen a lot of travel nursing opportunities in Ireland, just FYI. I've read that the process to transition a US nursing license to that country is smoother since their licensing style is similar...

  25. Disabled Nurse Wanting to Find New Job

    DowntheRiver replied to JessMoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Most of these positions require more than 8 months experience. Nurse navigators and case managers at my facility are required to have 5+ years experience and at least a BSN and a certification. I'd...
