  4. Dealing with well-meaning but stupid questions?

    feelslikefire replied to feelslikefire's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not! But I do live in a university town with a well-respected state medical school, as well as a company that manages & produces a widely-used EMR. I don't know how much those things impact...

  5. Dealing with well-meaning but stupid questions?

    feelslikefire replied to feelslikefire's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Right? It's hard. I can't really cuss anyone out at work, not without losing my job (which I will be all too happy to kiss good-bye when I'm finally licensed and have a nursing job offer), but boy do...

  6. For All Direct-Entry Applicants

    feelslikefire replied to ToTheStudent's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm definitely worried about the debt load, but I'm ALSO really worried about the time taken. I'm already 30; I'd like to not have to spend another 283974293847 more years in school to become an NP,...

    feelslikefire replied to helricha's topic in Nurse Registration

    Oh, that's excellent to know. Thanks for the heads-up, Silverdragon. I know it's tough all around right now, and that's one thing I'm trying to keep in mind as far as student loans vs. job...

  11. Clinical hours short of NMC suggestion?

    feelslikefire replied to helricha's topic in Nurse Registration

    Silverhalide, babyRN, I was wondering about this too. Is there an equivalent position to nurse practitioner in the UK, and would getting a direct entry MSN qualify me to work in the UK in any capacity...

  12. Clinical hours short of NMC suggestion?

    feelslikefire replied to helricha's topic in Nurse Registration

    Thanks, babyRN! I will do that later this week, then. I am now also wondering if the RN followed by bridge classes to BSN would be insufficient as well. Better to know now than have my heart broken...
