    User-Friendly Online FNP Schools??? Help!

    barcode120x replied to ER Night Club's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Check out Western University in Pomona,

    Night shift and healthy eating

    barcode120x replied to Felicia Saclolo's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Meal prep the right way maybe with basic foods? Restarting my meal prep from about a year ago (2020 goals! lol). My meals are spread across 5 meals and basically eaten almost every 4 hours. Sometimes...

    Trying to move up/transfer but management is sort of getting in the way?

    barcode120x posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Needing a place to sort of vent because I have really mixed feelings with the nasty butterfly in the stomach feeling. I wasn't sure where to place this exactly, but since this does involve management,...

    Trying to move up/transfer but management is sort of getting in the way?

    barcode120x replied to barcode120x's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just wanted to give an update. Looks like things aren't turning out as bad as I thought. My director just offered me a part time position which means I'll soon be in contact with the PICC team...

    Trying to move up/transfer but management is sort of getting in the way?

    barcode120x replied to barcode120x's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks for some insight. So the CC director (the one I was training for) mentioned to me that the training is gonna be on hold for now in which I responded to her text that I would have to wait until...

    The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    barcode120x replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think this far from the truth. I don't think there is much "stereotyping" at all in this day an age. Maybe 10+ years ago there was, but definitely not today. I have NEVER come across any MD, nurse,...

    Night Shifters - Hobbies?

    barcode120x replied to yesrun's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm a gamer at heart so that's pretty much my main hobby. Gym is my #2, but I rarely ever gym at night because it keeps me awake too late including my pre-workout. Netflix and other streaming...

    Advice on work

    barcode120x replied to SRWRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Online too?! Then I'd def recommend working FT or PT (highly unlikely of course, even for me lol). Definitely doable to manage both. Good luck

    Advice on work

    barcode120x replied to SRWRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Working 20 hours a week from home while in the NP program sounds like a dream, but since the work relates to hospice and you're having a hard time managing your emotions, maybe you should definitely...

    Jobs outside of healthcare after burnout

    barcode120x replied to Fnp2017urgentcare's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Not sure how much validity I have regarding FNP status, but I literally just finished my first day precepting under a GP (technically I was shadowing a few PA students in the office). If you're...

    What else can I do with my BSN

    barcode120x replied to Catalin's topic in General Nursing

    That's assuming you get hired in the same/similar position and company as your friends (though, working from home sounds nice, but I don't think I could have a social life if I worked at home). Same...

    Haunted Hospital??

    barcode120x replied to Breathing16's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Seeing is believing for me. I've had a few weird encounters, but until I see one with my own eyes, then I'll be a skeptic for life. I love hearing about stories though and I do enjoying watching ghost...

    Are online schools for Nursing prerequisites valid? Transferrable??!!

    barcode120x replied to Cloud-'s topic in California Nursing

    If it's a requirement for getting in the program ADN, BSN, MSN, I don't see why it would be a problem especially if it's a non-nursing class. I encourage taking online classes especially if you lead a...

    Dealing with guilt

    barcode120x replied to RN8903's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm sure EVERYONE cuts corners at one point in their life in nursing, whether it was a few times, or daily. I'll probably keep my response in regards to that issue short cuz the idea of "cutting...

    Weight Loss for Nurses

    barcode120x replied to EmxoRenee's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Very true. Once you build the routine, it'll stick regardless if you are a night shifter or day shifter. I work nights and plenty of coworkers, especially day shift peeps ask me how I do it. Just...

    Burnout? Or something else?

    barcode120x replied to NurseK523's topic in Health, Stress Management

    It could be many things, but it would seem to be the hours and possibly the work setting (hospice). I've had several former coworkers who could not survive nightshift for the life of them. It was...

    Littman or MDF Stethoscope

    barcode120x replied to Dani_Sanchez777's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've used the classic litmann (the one with no bell either lol) since I started working as an RN. The plastic part that goes in front of the diaphragm came off and I grabbed a disposable stethscope...

    Abuse of nurses

    barcode120x replied to JMune's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I've been fortunate enough where most of patients have been pretty cool/chill/nice. I've come across just a few "unruly" patients. Yeah the verbal abuse is there. Do I care? Not really. Any insults...

    What else can I do with my BSN

    barcode120x replied to Catalin's topic in General Nursing

    Can also look into teaching for LVN schools. My coworker (with no BSN) did that and it was good side money, I'd say more so than CNA teaching. Also look into clinical teaching for ADN programs. Great...

    Male RN's with Long hair - Job Interviews

    barcode120x replied to Catalin's topic in Men in Nursing

    Had shaved sides and long hair at the top, rolled with a man bun the last 2 years (finally cut it and donated my hair about 2 months ago). Just keep it clean, hopefully you don't have a lot of "fly...

    Littmann lightweight vs MDF

    barcode120x replied to megsimm99's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'd recommend getting a cheap one from the store or off Amazon. Things get "misplaced" during clinicals and it would suck to lose a pricey stethscope. There have been plenty of times where I've had...

    What do you guys do to de-stress?

    barcode120x replied to OBigdog26's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Honestly, not being at work itself is already de-stressing me haha. But to be more specific, playing video games and pumping iron definitely de-stresses me. Livin that single bachelor life...makes me...

    Friends who aren’t in the medical profession

    barcode120x replied to Idahoscrapper's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Most of my friends and closest friends are nurses and coworkers. My non-nursing friends are primarily the ones I still keep in touch with from high school so I don't really have a hard time talking to...

    Scared RN ?

    barcode120x replied to JenMH88RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Great post and answers! I start my MSN-FNP program end of this month down here in Southern California. I've already got my main general practitioner preceptor set for the next 2 years. I'm very...
