  1. Why the NP degree will be the next MBA with 7 simple, quick reasons

    OCRN3 replied to chillnurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    Even with over abundance of NPs in schools, not everyone will make it in the real world as a NP. Some good and bad APNs will come out of good or bad schools. Some will become teachers, administrators...

    OCRN3 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Working at a county hospital I have been overworked. Today I had to transport my own pt. On call to IR, transport one pt to X-ray, and then another to cardiac rehab. Later on that sane day I had to...

    OCRN3 replied to kristakay7's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I started with my LVN and now am a FNP, I did not get my DNP but it took me 8 years from point to point. I took very little time off in between school, mostly a year to get a feel for nursing first....

  7. Dansko's?

    OCRN3 replied to gbennett's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  8. Why the NP degree will be the next MBA with 7 simple, quick reasons

    OCRN3 replied to chillnurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    I believe both sides of the arguments are valid. I do find that nurses see much more how everything that doctors do affect the patient more than the actual doctor does. A doctor prescribes meds, the...

  9. New LVN program - Concorde

    OCRN3 replied to dah33's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    From teaching a LVN program at a private school, I can tell you that it's pretty fast paced. Nursing school is what you put into it. Another thing is you will hear a lot of negativity about being from...

  12. The beauty of nursing : midweek camping, hiking, boating, skiing, no crowds!

    OCRN3 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    When you work 3 12s only, 12 hour shifts are great. It can get hairy when you add overtime, then it seems like all you do is work. I think there is a good life work balance with 12s if you manage your...

    OCRN3 replied to kath7880's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with above. I would start fresh as a new grad. It does not look good to leave a job after 1

    All those are accurate of floor

  15. Why would nurses voluntarily sign up at for profit schools?

    OCRN3 replied to RNdynamic's topic in School, College Programs

    So what if someone wants to pay for education? At least at a for profit school, they listen to your complaints unlike at a CC or UC ? Besides at the end of the day everyone, no matter what school has...

  21. Why the NP degree will be the next MBA with 7 simple, quick reasons

    OCRN3 replied to chillnurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    OCRN3 replied to jpdlii's topic in Nursing Career

    OCRN3 replied to OCRN3's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have benefits now, but as a provider I have friends who prescribe to me for free and vice versa. I think more about hospital stays and things like that. The flexibility has me torn. I really...
