  1. Some musings about reading posts here...

    HealthyRN replied to Lurksalot's topic in General Nursing

    I agree! I can overlook spelling and minor grammatical mistakes because this is an informal internet forum. However, I have a difficult time understanding how an educated professsional posting here...

  2. I dont want to do this anymore!!!

    HealthyRN replied to RNOTODAY's topic in General Nursing

    This thread caught my eye and I'm terrified I've made the wrong career decision. I have about 5 weeks until I graduate with my BSN. By the end of my sophomore year in nursing school, I knew that I...

  3. Nurse's Aid acting as a Nurse

    HealthyRN replied to jalvino1's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that you are absolutely correct in being concerned about this, despite what your charge nurse says. As part of my last quarter in nursing school, we are covering legal implications of...

  4. PhD in chemistry => NP. Sane change?

    HealthyRN replied to almostPhD's topic in Post Graduate Students

    1. If you plan on applying to a direct-entry MSN program (which I believe would be the best choice for you), you will have to complete some pre-reqs. Your chemistry degree and list of...

  5. Hello, I'm new here, need advice

    HealthyRN replied to kellysmom's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Candace, If I were you, I would go for the RN. In the end, it will give you far more opportunities. Down the road, you may even decide that you would like to combine your law degree with nursing...

  6. public health nursing after 3 months of hospital experience?

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

    Hi TMarie, Thanks for sharing your experiences. What opportunities would a nurse with a MSN have vs. MPH? Could you give me some ideas of positions that would be held by both? I am considering...

  7. How many schools did everyone apply to?

    HealthyRN replied to NHRNmomof3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I applied to 3 schools. I think 6 schools is a bit much, but if you are truly interested in all of them, go for it. It's not worth it if you really don't want to go there though. I'm sure it's okay...

  8. NP w/no desire for RN?

    HealthyRN replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have been following this thread for quite some time, but I can't remember if this information has been posted in the past. If it has, I apologize for overlooking this. I recently came across an...

  9. Confused about choosing grad schools

    HealthyRN posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am having a dilemma about choosing the right grad school. I have been accepted to two top universities for an MSN/FNP program. At one university, I have been offered a full university fellowship...

  10. Internet Porn at work-need advice

    HealthyRN replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone seems to be assuming that all hospitals require log-on and passwords for internet access. That is not the case at my hospital, although they probably should. Log-on is required for the...

  11. Choosing the Right Path?

    HealthyRN replied to SSValentine's topic in Nursing Career

    I just wanted to clarify- there are no "pre-nursing" programs. This is not a major. I attend a large state university and my major was "Exploring" (formerly "Undecided") before I was accepted to the...

  12. Choosing the Right Path?

    HealthyRN replied to SSValentine's topic in Nursing Career

    Have you considered direct-entry programs? These are designed for students that already have a bachelor's degree. They are usually accelerated programs that allow the student to become an RN in one...

  13. Wanna hear the REAL DEAL from the FNP Students

    HealthyRN replied to pocohantas's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I would like to here the stories from FNP students also. I applied to FNP programs for the fall and I am waiting to hear about admissions. Is it possible to have a part-time job while in a program...

  14. Chiropractors

    HealthyRN replied to bethem's topic in General Nursing

    I started going to a chiropractor a few weeks ago. So far, it has been great. The chiropractor I see practices orthogonal chiropractic. This involves no manipulation. At my first appointment, he...

  15. Need help with essay for NP program

    HealthyRN replied to TooMuchFun's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Could you tell us more about the specific requirements for the essay? I submitted my essays a few weeks ago. I don't have any RN experience yet (I am graduating with my BSN in June), but I focused...

  16. NP w/no desire for RN?

    HealthyRN replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi Krissy, I've seen many of your posts and I don't think its too late for you! I think that you should be very persistent in trying to contact the course head or someone at the nursing school that...

  17. M.S. or M.A. in Nursing?

    HealthyRN replied to lilboboxox's topic in General Nursing

    This is interesting. I have done a lot of research on graduate schools and nurse practitioner programs and I have never come across an M.A. in Nursing. After I came across this post, I looked it up...

  18. NP before CRNA, or straight to CRNA?

    HealthyRN replied to Critical Care-Bear's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you want to go to med school, you should. Again, there are a lot of posts on this subject if you do a search. Many people do get MS degrees before going to med school, but an MSN is not necessarily...

  19. How does Nursing rank in comparison to other majors in difficulty?

    HealthyRN replied to CRNAhopefulguy's topic in General Students

    I think that it definately depends on who you ask. All individuals have different abilities and aptitudes for certain subjects. In general, I don't consider the nursing curriculum to be particularly...

  20. Dept. of Health and Human Serivces loan repayment

    HealthyRN replied to serpico79000's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm just curious...do you now enjoy working as an FNP? Are you glad that you did not choose to go to med

  21. Sigma ThetaTau

    HealthyRN replied to ctunurse's topic in General Nursing

    One cannot simply join Sigma Theta Tau. There is an application process for acceptance. Sigma Theta Tau is the international honor society of nursing. It is an honor to be accepted to the...

  22. Nursing Against the Odds -- Who's reading it, or has read it?

    HealthyRN replied to Stitchie's topic in General Nursing

    I read the book during summer break. As a nursing student, I found it to be a bit depressing. After reading it, I had to ask myself why I chose to become a nurse in the first place. However, I...

  23. I quit, now regret it. HELP!

    HealthyRN replied to prairiegirl's topic in General Students

    I would stick it out with the BSN program and finish your minor in business. This could prove to be a great combination for you in the future- nursing administration, entrepreneurship, etc....

  24. VERY Untraditional student needs advice on essay please

    HealthyRN replied to krisssy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Krissy, I know there is a large controversy concerning should one have significant RN experience in an area before pursing advanced practice. That will probably never be settled and people will...
