  1. Moved to a new ER, now I don't feel like I'm a real ER nurse anymore

    Larry3373 replied to Catch22Personified's topic in Emergency

    I personally would tough it out for a year or so just because it will look good on your résumé. After that, if things don't improve I might find something else. Perhaps the other hospital will...

  2. direct entry NP vs. BSN-NP

    Larry3373 replied to dcwang's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'd like to think that the experience I have working in the hospital as an RN has helped me tremendously in pursuing a career as a np. To be clear I will be starting school in September for the acute...

  3. Stuck with nursing... Easy CA schools to get into?

    Larry3373 replied to SunriseDay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest not opening with "stuck with nursing" if you want some real advice. Most of us worked extremely hard to complete nursing school. It seems a little insulting for someone to insinuate...

  4. Being complained about behind your back

    Larry3373 replied to joemomma35's topic in Men in Nursing

    I had a similar experience where someone anonymously complained about I was arrogant or something like that. I asked several coworkers, none of which felt that way. The person who I concluded was...

  5. New Grad RN can't find a job

    Larry3373 replied to morganv's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would just say " hi my name is Larry, and I applied online for (fill in the blank) and I just wanted to introduce myself so you can put a face with an online application". Then I would hand them a...

  6. New Grad RN can't find a job

    Larry3373 replied to morganv's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I applied online and then went to the floor where the nurse managers were (dressed professionally) and introduced myself. I then gave them a paper copy of my résumé. I had a job shortly after...

  7. First nurse job...not what I was expecting

    Larry3373 replied to ilia_RN's topic in Nursing Career

    I've only worked med surg, telemetry, and then icu. I would have loved to be offered a job in the ED just out of nursing school, especially where I received good classes and training. I would ride...

  8. What is a Nurses Calling?

    Larry3373 replied to hopepedersen87's topic in General Nursing

    I was searching the web one day and saw an article listing some reasons to go into nursing. It listed things like job security, decent pay, etc. then I saw that I also could get an advanced degree...

  9. Subservience to the docs

    Larry3373 replied to amarilla's topic in Emergency

    I agree. The culture here is toxic based on the information you provided. I think that ultimately if you chart well, your license should be protected. However, I think that this culture will lead to...

  10. Walden ACNP program

    Larry3373 replied to Sagira's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am starting in

  11. Is change a BAD thing? (MS nurses doing vitals)

    Larry3373 replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Transfer to ICU. Vitals are done automatically,

  12. Help me figure out how to be happy!

    Larry3373 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    You have to be content in whatever state you are in (phillipians 4:11). If you are not a person who has been regenerated by the Spirit of God through faith in Christ's death and resurrection then you...

  13. Being let go during orientation in ICU

    Larry3373 replied to hyed's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Clarification: I was never let go, I got a second chance with a new preceptor, and that helped tremendously. However, that was in med-surg, not

  14. Being let go during orientation in ICU

    Larry3373 replied to hyed's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Had a similar experience on med-surg with 5-6 patients. I think the best thing you can do is try to find the answer yourself, but then ask as many questions as you need to until you are sure of what...

  15. Looking for current info on Miss Coast hospitals please!

    Larry3373 replied to NurseAndLovinIt's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that most hospitals will pay approximately 21-24 dollars hour on the Gulf Coast. Singing River Hospital/Ocean Springs is not paying too well these days and are in some financial trouble with...

  16. RN to DNP program

    Larry3373 replied to angel12rn's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I personally know people who went to USA and are currently licensed practitioners. It is a good school and the work is not difficult. I will be applying there and

  17. How many of you actually enjoy your job?!

    Larry3373 replied to kwerno00's topic in General Nursing

    Your hospital sounds like a hospital that I worked for in

  18. How many of you actually enjoy your job?!

    Larry3373 replied to kwerno00's topic in General Nursing

    "Enjoy" is such a strong word. I work 12 to 13 hours a day and barely have time to eat. I am expected to get an enormous amount of charting done each day while taking care of my patients' every...

  19. FNU CNM class 137

    Larry3373 replied to hungryforhummus's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm trying to figure out the acedemic calendar. Does anyone know the soonest I could submit an application and potentially start the FNP program at

  20. RN to DNP program

    Larry3373 replied to angel12rn's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Yes Frontier seems to stand out. Also look into University of South

  21. Online Fnp program

    Larry3373 replied to tinuabhi's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I' ve looked into Frontier and Walden. Walden is accredited and very minimal requirements to get in and is 36000 including books, but they have no physical location since it is all online and their...

  22. Stay away from Walden University

    Larry3373 replied to BLACK HAWK's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    They at least require 2 years experience before starting which is more than you can say about some programs. I will be starting the ACNP program in March. I think that with all programs there are...

  23. NP vs PA

    Larry3373 replied to CalderonLuis's topic in Nursing Career

    Fair enough. What program did you

  24. NP vs PA

    Larry3373 replied to CalderonLuis's topic in Nursing Career

    Also my assumption is that most people will work as a nurse for the 2 or more years it takes to complete these direct entry programs, unless the have some serious financial

  25. NP vs PA

    Larry3373 replied to CalderonLuis's topic in Nursing Career

    I was responding to this PP who said "you can no longer assume that NPs had a nursing license" "before becoming NPs. I 'm arguing that completing a rigorous accelerated nursing program and passing...
