    The Movie and TV Thread

    barcode120x replied to Tweety's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Recently finished the mini series of The Count of Monte Cristo, the English version starring Sam Claflin. It was an overall great story telling with great acting, especially by Sam Claflin. I very...

    Leaving early for lunch

    barcode120x replied to snf248's topic in Advanced Practice

    I don't mean to be rude, but it doesn't matter if you live X miles away, you arrive X minutes early, and you leave X minutes late or if you are in a big or small clinic, or taking home work. This has...

    First NP job did not work out..now what?

    barcode120x replied to tea.ns's topic in Advanced Practice

    The fact that they told you may never be an NP again speaks volumes of that employer. Honestly, I would stay clear of that employer and leave overall and take the leave. What if you do end up doing...

    barcode120x replied to amason2021's topic in MICU, SICU

    Research online and familiarize yourself with the specialty and unit. Outside of practicing common interview questions, be yourself, be honest, and be humble. Do mock interviews with friends or...

    Help NP clinical advice after hours

    barcode120x replied to AmandaPBSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've never heard of a primary care clinic doing overnight or after hours and I will doubt you will find anything like that. You need to plan for attending clinical hours to be during regular working...

    The Movie and TV Thread

    barcode120x replied to Tweety's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    As I posted before, The Pitt has been on fire! I just started watching Paradise and I find it quite good. Interesting plot regarding some sort of conspiracy behind a president's death, yet the...

    The Movie and TV Thread

    barcode120x replied to Tweety's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    The Pitt is insanely good! It's still airing so only 2 episodes are out but it's a must watch! While it's primarily a show following the docs, nursing is a part of and and the shout outs to nursing in...

    Failed AANP Twice-Need Motivation!

    barcode120x replied to Sarah R's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Definitely check out other resources as it seems you had solely focused on just use LWES. I'd recommend Amelie Hollier's lectures for a good, condensed, clinical version of FNP and any of her textbook...

    Wondering if I am cut out for bedside nursing

    barcode120x replied to Baynurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Pre shift, during shift, and post shift anxiety is absolutely normal and as a nurse, that never really leaves you (unless you did like a non-treating position). There is no set time frame of...

    Georgetown University MSN FNP part-time or Ramapo College of New Jersey FNP MSN part time program?

    barcode120x replied to lxl625's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't think any RN that is pursuing their NP need to really worry about not paying off their loans and future loans. There will always be a job for the RN and the NP. That aside, I would never go to...

    Call out

    barcode120x replied to BSNRN_'s topic in General Nursing

    I'd imagine the penalty for calling out on holidays varies from employer to employer. It's assumed you will get in "trouble," but simply looking at your hospital's call out policy. My hospital had no...

    PICC certification?

    barcode120x replied to FiremedicMike's topic in General Specialties

    Just before covid hit, my hospital partnered with Bard Access Systems and I had the lucky opportunity to do their PICC paid training program (maybe a month long if I recall). I heard that it was...

    Which path do I take?

    barcode120x replied to Amber Spriegel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can consider looking into MSN-entry level programs. These programs are for those that hold a non-nursing bachelors degree that are interested in getting their RN. The time frame is similar to that...

    What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    barcode120x replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    2 small stories, no crazy ghost events, just weirdness: Worked at a 100+ year old hospital. Worked night shift as a lift tech and had a couple "weird" experience, but the one that creeps me out...

    Is going on to be a NP my only option to make more money?

    barcode120x replied to ConfusedNurse202's topic in General Nursing

    It's not uncommon for starting new grad NPs to make less as opposed to a bedside nurse. I believe FullGlass has a thread regarding bedside nursing pay versus NP and generally, bedside nursing will pay...

    Transferring to inpatient physical rehab

    barcode120x replied to BlueSilver22's topic in Rehabilitation

    500% agree. After 7 years of bedside (worked on tele, charge nurse, and worked all through COVID), I am loving the position and the work-life balance/quality of life. I honestly can't help but boast...

    Case manager to NP school?

    barcode120x replied to Mcnurse567's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Considering the hot topic of NP diploma mills nearly accepting all applicants, I highly doubt you'll have any issues getting into an NP Program especially since you already have 2 years of bedside...

    Transferring to inpatient physical rehab

    barcode120x replied to BlueSilver22's topic in Rehabilitation

    I have never worked in inpatient/outpatient rehab as a nurse (7 years prior tele experience as an RN), but as a current FNP that works in the rehab SNF setting, I think it will be a great experience...

    Was there a way to move her to a different floor, unit, or side of the facility? Back on the floor whenever a patient had issues with their primary nurse, we would try to de-escalate the situation but...
