  9. NP but decided not to practice

    celle507 replied to celle507's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just want to thank everyone for replying. I guess the sample here is a little skewed most people here are either practicing NPs or want to be NPs. It is comforting to hear that most new grads have...

  12. Public health vs community health nursing

    celle507 replied to smilin4ever's topic in Public, Community Health

    In my opinion, a nurse can be both a public health and community health nurse... For me, a public health nurse is someone who looks at the health of communities. So, TB screenings, infectious disease...

    celle507 replied to SmartlilBrownie's topic in General Nursing

    I do think that being a nurse will give you an edge over other candidates for the position but I don't think you need to be a nurse. I attended the Lamaze International training course and our...

    celle507 replied to soxfan07's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi, I graduated from BC's DE program and had the same concerns about the time frame as others on this post. However, I ended up choosing it because it was the least amount of credits (and thus least...

  18. Bored To Death!

    celle507 replied to Pianoforte's topic in First Year After Licensure

  20. Am I assessing today's nursing situation accurately?

    celle507 replied to marie-francoise's topic in General Nursing

    I guess you need to ask yourself what you want to do. Do you want to be involved in policy, research, program planning, etc. (more macro-level type jobs) in the health industry? If so, with an MPH...

    celle507 posted a topic in General Nursing

    celle507 replied to celle507's topic in General Nursing

    celle507 posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Hi, I am a relatively new nurse (5 months med/surg experience) and didn't particularly like med/surg so I decided to try psych nursing since I've always had an interest in psych anyway. However, the...
