  1. Executive track DNP programs

    mhy12784 replied to Grneyrn21's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Quinnipiac has a DNP in leadership, that will accept you with an MBA and no MSN I came very close to doing it. But it's pretty damn expensive. Although it beats having to get an MSN and then a

  2. Will multiple degrees at the same level help me?

    mhy12784 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I previously was a business major so i have multiple business degrees (bachelors and MBA) and became started working as a nurse a little over a year ago. Im currently getting my MSN (and working as an...

  3. Will multiple degrees at the same level help me?

    mhy12784 replied to mhy12784's topic in General Nursing

    Thaedacare and a few others in Seattle were the biggest ive seen. Although Denver seems to be the HQ for the majority of OR nursing events, so that would probably be a great option as well Im...

  4. Will multiple degrees at the same level help me?

    mhy12784 replied to mhy12784's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely, ive even talked to a few nurse managers to see which hospitals in my area utilize LSS (and pay for the training for their nurses) and which dont. Although they usually pay for like Green...

  5. Do I Create My Own Niche?

    mhy12784 replied to Nugget's topic in General Nursing

    I know there's a huge need involved with mental health for the military. PTSD and all that stuff, possibly a little different than what youre looking for

  6. Will multiple degrees at the same level help me?

    mhy12784 replied to mhy12784's topic in General Nursing

    Well I do plan on going into leadership (especially since I dont physically expect to be able to handle a clinical workload into my late 40s/50s). CNO/COO definitely on or near the top of my wishlist...

  7. Revisit: PA or RNFA

    mhy12784 replied to MeiLana's topic in Operating Room

    PA's are far more in demand than RNFA's from what ive seen. My OR is always looking for PA's, while ive never actually seen them even looking for an RNFA One huge difference is PA's can write orders...

  8. MD Falsifying Charting

    mhy12784 replied to annie.rn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Id be careful about pointing fingers and making accusations about false charting. At my last hospital I forgot their position, but one of the people who reviewed charts told me almost every single...

  9. advice needed re: trading PRN shifts

    mhy12784 replied to ceccia's topic in General Nursing

    Just say you have personal family/health issues going on, and that this other person would really like the hours. As long as it doesnt screw your company, I dont see why they wouldnt be willing to...

  10. Will multiple degrees at the same level help me?

    mhy12784 replied to mhy12784's topic in General Nursing

    A degree doesnt "have" to be useful, but it should be I think it would be a waste if I invested precious resources (my time, effort, and money) into something that wouldn't benefit both myself and my...

  11. Next step?

    mhy12784 replied to sunnynurse234's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Well you can get a non clinical DNP degree. That would certainly be another option. Far less clinical intense than an APN DNP, though you wouldnt actually be licensed as an NP Im pretty sure they...

  12. Suggestions for getting my foot in the door for OR??

    mhy12784 replied to darthsunshine's topic in Operating Room

    Talk to your hospital (OR) about periop 101 Its some AORN testing module to train nurses to get into the OR. When I was a new grad getting into the OR my hospital made all of us take it. took a few...

  14. ANA wants GM foods labeled, please join effort ant tell FDA

    mhy12784 replied to dcookRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    So how exactly would be it determined if a food was genetically modified ? I mean if youre going to be forced to label foods as GMO/NON GMO then presumably there has to be some sort of criteria,

  15. Prescription drugs, brand name vs generic

    mhy12784 replied to Katniss88's topic in Patient Medications

    But if hospitals refer to everything as one name, what about patients ? Theyre all going to come in only knowing brand

  16. ANA wants GM foods labeled, please join effort ant tell FDA

    mhy12784 replied to dcookRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Where do you draw the line about genetically modified ? What about stupid people (theres lots) getting tricked into thinking GMO free food is somehow better than

  17. Operating Room Job

    mhy12784 replied to EKJRN328's topic in General Nursing

    Its about getting lucky more than anything The OR is wildly different from all other specialties, so most of what you know is useless and much of what you need to know you wont Can take close to a...

    Thats all i dropped off once you get an interview theyll ask for the

  19. Miserable RN

    mhy12784 replied to berhaelee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Cant tell you anything about your area, as I know nothing about it. But what I do suggest is you work on changing your attitude. The world isnt always sunshine and rainbows, but having a "defeated",...

  20. Pros and cons of the shift

    mhy12784 replied to marvelmom's topic in General Nursing

    7am-3pm M-F Pros- No weekends (unless you want OT) No evenings "normal people hours" Cons- 5 days a week cant manipulate schedule for vacations/long weekends after having a day to "recover" from the...

  21. Mather Hospital?

    mhy12784 replied to mhy12784's topic in New York Nursing

    Ill add that I don't know for a fact if this is true or not. But I personally believe that bringing a resume to Mather in person would absolutely increase you chances of getting hired. Although they...

  22. Mather Hospital?

    mhy12784 replied to mhy12784's topic in New York Nursing

    Im assuming its a little late for me to comment to the two folks above (as the new hires all started in September) But are you a new grad/new nurse? If so my best guess would be likely January...

  23. What can you do with a nursing degree besides nursing?

    mhy12784 replied to Elidrc's topic in General Nursing

    Makes zero sense to give up after 3 attempts to me. I mean theres even the "random" factor that you could get asked just the "right" questions and pass. Hell the test is only 95% reliable, so if you...

  24. Newbies Who Want to Pay ZERO Dues Schedule-Wise

    mhy12784 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe I missed it but id say that it depends before completely blaming a new grad IE if he took a day position, and his job wants him to work EVERY friday saturday sunday and didnt convery that in...

    To be fair thats really only based on gross income, and nothing else. if youre making 75,000 a year in california, ny, and im sure other areas of the country you are far from the top 10% That said its...
