  1. Middle name not on ATT but is on drivers license

    pro-student replied to brillec's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It shouldn’t be a problem. I have 2 middle names and most forms don’t allow me to list both (including my driver’s and nursing licenses). As long as your first and last names are correct, I...

  2. Abdominal Assessment for NCLEX

    pro-student replied to coastalsoul06's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    According to Bates, the order is inspect, asscultate, percuss, palpate but it doesn’t really matter much. The important thing to remember is, with the abdomen, you auscultate before percussion or...

  3. Interview Attire for New Grad Male Nurse?

    pro-student replied to Jace_b7's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Definitely suit and tie. I don't know who told you business casual but they are either wrong or don't know what business casual means. Stick with something conservative and nothing too flashy or out...

  4. Decisions on CNM vs. FNP

    pro-student replied to Steph Knepper's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Happy to help! PM me and I'd be happy to talk more

  5. ADN to CNM Bridge

    pro-student replied to Rebecca Sharp's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I started as an ADN and did a dual CNM/FNP program. I went straight from my ADN to a bridge program and didn't have any problems but the program I attended also had a large direct entry program (for...

  6. MHPNP still able to work as RN?

    pro-student replied to NPZ_RN's topic in Psychiatric

    You do not lose any scope of practice if you become an advanced practice nurse (APN) since all APN is based on simultaneously being an RN. You can still choose to work as an RN regardless of what...

  7. Test made entirely of SATA!?

    pro-student replied to AceMami's topic in LPN to RN

    Traditional multiple choice questions (with only one "best" answer) have become the norm because they are the easiest to grade and are widely available in test banks or are relatively easy to write...

  8. Any Direct Entry MSN Programs that can be done remotely?

    pro-student replied to shiftingtides's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ah, that make a little more sense. I don't think there are any LPN-MSN programs. Every MSN program I've never heard of was either for RNs or for people who had a bachelors in another field. The latter...

  9. RN + MBA?

    pro-student replied to mashley89's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Business and nursing are both pretty broad fields. I think there can be some overlap depending on which aspects of each field but most will involve management or leadership positions away from the...

  10. Should I go straight into a BSN program?

    pro-student replied to lxx's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree that this should be the order of your priorities but in reality, none of these steps are exclusive of the others. You can easily study for the NCLEX while still applying for jobs and exploring...

  11. RN-MSN Online specialties options

    pro-student replied to Cedric RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    CONGRATS on deciding to continue your education. Since it seems like you're still very undecided about what direction you want to take your career, it might be wise to start out with completing a BSN...

  12. Any Direct Entry MSN Programs that can be done remotely?

    pro-student replied to shiftingtides's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No. One cannot learn nursing without having direct contact with others whether that is in a lab learning skills or in a clinical setting practicing with real patients. There are some clinical...

  13. MSN-Is it too late to go back?

    pro-student replied to G0821's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You certainly can do it. Since it sounds like you're struggling with some doubts and insecurities with your previous academic pursuits, you might want to start off with just trying out one class. You...

  14. Decisions on CNM vs. FNP

    pro-student replied to Steph Knepper's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    That sounds like a great plan. I think there is tremendous value in being both a CNM and FNP. There is an increased emphasis on midwives also being primary care providers but this has been a more...

  15. examples of social issues that can affect therapeutic relationship.

    pro-student replied to dsl's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think plenty which is why I don’t have to ask other people to do it for me. You’ve posted three times what appear to be near verbatim questions from assignments without any context (which makes...

  16. examples of social issues that can affect therapeutic relationship.

    pro-student replied to dsl's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Sounds like you're asking for answers to an assignment. Maybe you should at least try it yourself before asking other people to do your work for

  17. Post-master's CNM?

    pro-student replied to auson16's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    A good first step would be to start to network with other midwives in your area. Look up your state or local ACNM chapter or other midwifery group and attend any events you can. They might also be...

  18. Decisions on CNM vs. FNP

    pro-student replied to Steph Knepper's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    WOW!! That’s a long DNP program. A lot depends on what you actually want your career/practice to look like. If you’re sure you absolutely want to catch babies, then you might want to look into...

  19. PNP vs Pediatrician

    pro-student replied to PedsInTraining's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think it's great that you have a strong sense of your career direction at this stage but you're years away from having to make decision like should you be a PNP or pediatrician. Right now, you're...

  20. New Paradigm for the DNP. What do you think?

    pro-student replied to KetafolDNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I agree with a lot of what has been said. But I think there is another pressing problem facing all of advance practice education (be it at the MSN or DNP level),...

  21. Need NP preceptor

    pro-student replied to msbananaRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Unfortunately, this isn't true at all. In fact, the language "requiring that a program MUST secure placement for all students" is unchanged from the previous version of the accreditation standards and...

  22. DNP vs PhD

    pro-student replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    PhDs are really intended to prepare independent researchers with the focus of the program on the theoretical and methodological demands of original research. It's a lot of work (averaging around 5...

  23. Recommended Preparation for Midwifery School

    pro-student replied to L&D4Lyfe's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    It sounds like you already have lots of experience which will put you ahead of a number of other midwifery students. If anything, you might want to do a quick review of health assessment (especially...

  24. Pathways to NP

    pro-student replied to Sun1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Second this advice. You would also do well to read about the Consensus Model and spend some time thinking about what you want to do with your

  25. Need NP preceptor

    pro-student replied to msbananaRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is a gross misunderstanding of the standards. Unfortunately, it's not likely you're going to be able to complete your clinicals on your pre-COVID timeframe. In the best of times, clinical sites...
