  1. Head to Toe Assessment

    pro-student replied to Tiffc88's topic in General Students

    Practice, practice, practice! Practice over and over in family and friends, basically anyone who will let you touch them. Practice on classmates and give each other feedback. Practice on your pillow...

  2. "My pain is about an eight and a half"

    pro-student replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    To be fair, I've never heard anyone ask for a pain rating as a whole number. Most people are genuinely trying to be helpful. I also think most lay people overestimate the importance that number has on...

  3. FNP to acute care CAGS

    pro-student replied to allaboutnursing77's topic in Advanced Practice

    This isn't true. The vast majority of nurse practitioners in emergency settings are FNPs and almost none have done peds acute care (I know if only a couple but they work in exclusively pediatric EDs)....

  4. talking to the cops about my patient

    pro-student replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Tbh, the information you provided already violated HIPPA (unless you had the pt's consent which you didn't mention). I second the advice that you should consult your facilities policy but unless...

  5. Friend is sending FB requests to all ICU/ER nurses

    pro-student replied to NurseSince2014's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that's creepy as hell. What is she expecting? Since her resume isn't impressive enough to get any consideration, her FB stalking skills

  6. Teaching In ADN Program

    pro-student replied to pro-student's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Thank you for your thoughtful response. I agree that the culture of the program would make all the difference. I would love to hear if anyone else has thoughts/experience with this

  7. Looking for a statistics workshop/short course for nurses

    pro-student replied to NP1234567's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Idk of anything like you mentioned but you can google statistics MOOCs. There lots of options of free online courses at various levels and on different platforms. Another option would be a basic stats...

  8. Out of Practice NP - Which terminal degree?

    pro-student replied to NP1234567's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Most DNP programs don't have a requirement for practice experience much less recent experience. To be safe, it would be a good idea to identify a few programs you would be interested in attending and...

  9. DrPH Vs MSN

    pro-student replied to Success2011's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Your goals seem kind of vague. I'm not aware of a lot of leadership roles in case management other than supervisor which would probably require experience more so than an advanced degree. If you're...

  10. FNP to acute care CAGS

    pro-student replied to allaboutnursing77's topic in Advanced Practice

    You have to get started somewhere and it's not like you don't have any experience to build off of. I would suggest you invest some time learning about the specifics of emergency nursing. I like Pass...

  11. Am I doing the right thing?

    pro-student replied to amalay's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It can be challenging to make the transition without specific experience and there is a pretty common bias that you need certain specific RN experience to move into an NP role. There's no evidence...

  12. FNP to acute care CAGS

    pro-student replied to allaboutnursing77's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think that similar to a post-master's certificate in an additional specialty. Acute care isn't the same a critical care and/or emergency. Med-surg is also acute care. If your goal is to work in...

  13. OB class makes me depressed...

    pro-student replied to erikathered's topic in General Students

    Thank you for sharing your experience! It can be really difficult adjusting to a reality that is different than what we hoped for. I in no way want to diminish how you feel but I want to point out...

  14. Furthering education

    pro-student replied to Larsen4220's topic in General Students

    I agree that pursing a masters before you have a clear idea of what direction you want to go in nursing would be unwise. It's great that you are committed to advancing your education and I totally...

  15. Advice for parents in nursing school

    pro-student replied to NursingHopeful95's topic in General Students

    I second this advice. It's good that you are aware of the challenges so you are read to face them head-on but try not to tell that overwhelm you. In my experience, parents make some of the best...

  16. Prepping for nursing school

    pro-student replied to clf1926's topic in General Students

    Preping for the academic content of nursing school is likely to be counterproductive. As the previous post mentioned, trying to answer questions about material you haven't learned yet isn't going to...

  17. Does it get better?

    pro-student replied to Sawahfwend's topic in General Students

    Some level of concern about specific cases or apprehension about taking on a new role is normal but crippling anxiety about your general role as a student/future nurse is not. I would strongly...

  18. Pros and Cons of BSN/MSN

    pro-student replied to Dosborne's topic in General Students

    No, that's wrong. The vast majority of RN to MSN programs don't grant a BSN in the process (the only exception I know of is University of Missouri) which means that if you don't finish the whole...

  19. Advice on path to follow

    pro-student replied to ap05's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I think it's wonderful that you have a passion for teaching and lots of varied interests. I think one important consideration is to consider you end goals. If, for instance, you want to teach in an...

  20. Group G strep

    pro-student replied to lrnpgrl87's topic in General Nursing

    Group G Strep are part of the normal flora in the airway, skin, and reproductive tract. Something like 25% of adults carry GGS in their pharynx. Occasionally, these bacteria can cause infection...

  21. Med/surg

    pro-student replied to nurseontheway's topic in General Nursing

    I've never see a job posting for L&D that asked for med/surg experience but lots that ask for L&D experience. There's nothing magical about med/surg and it's an outdated myth than new nurses...

  22. Salary CO PMHNP

    pro-student replied to Malenurse12345's topic in Advanced Practice

    According to Salary.com, the median salary for PMHNPs in Colorado Springs is $102,361 and only 25% earn less than $91,508. $115,000 seems like a generous number for a new grad in the area and would...

  23. Can ACNP with ENP-C see kids?

    pro-student replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    To be eligible to sit for the ENP exam, you have to be an FNP. To be eligible for the exam, you also have to meet one of the following 3 options to demonstrate adequate preparation in advanced...

  24. MS in Health Informatics to MSN/ DNP Family Nurse Practioner?

    pro-student replied to Sweet Tea247's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There's no bridges for non-nursing master's degrees. Most schools have a policy on transfer credit for specific courses if there is a very close match or if your degree includes elective credits....

  25. MSN without clinical??

    pro-student replied to Halogirly5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    This. Administration is non-clinical so having clinical wouldn't make much sense. If you want to gain some mentored experience, you can look for a program that has a practicum or internship component...
