  1. Hate being an RN

    BostonRN13 replied to MILOBRI's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  2. How to not feel embarrassed or dumb when you dont know a skill?

    BostonRN13 replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've been a nurse for almost 15 years and I still feel dumb once in a while!! It's totally normal and I'm sure it happens to many people in all sorts of professions. Just remember... you aren't...

  3. NP benefits

    BostonRN13 replied to austi029's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Are there enough other NPs to cover Fridays or was this an agreed upon day you would work from the beginning? IMO, 1 year isn't that long of a time to be expecting long

  4. working full time during clinicals

    BostonRN13 replied to LookForward's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Don't do it . Especially if you have a significant other or children. I worked 30 hrs a week and I can't imagine doing more than

  5. FNPs- what settings can I work in

    BostonRN13 replied to Cindy-20's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've seen a lot of job postings for outpatient clinics for NPs with 0-1 years

  6. Returning as NP after time out of field and have questions

    BostonRN13 replied to gatorxo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What if you just asked to shadow an MD or NP you know for a little while to become reacclimated to current

  7. Becoming a new grad NP at my current RN job?

    BostonRN13 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello, I'm wondering if anyone here has returned to their current RN job in a new NP role? I love my current hospital and don't want to leave. I'm currently interviewing for a NP position but can't...

  8. Nursing School. Did you work?

    BostonRN13 replied to ana86's topic in General Students

    I worked part time during the school year as a waitress and then during summers I came home and worked as a CNA since I paid for school almost 100% myself. That experience as a CNA helped me land my...

  9. Are TOMS acceptable nursing shoes?

    BostonRN13 replied to babynursingstudent's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Lol! Agree. You need a shoe that stands up to all of the bodily fluids you will encounter. Save your Toms for after your shifts

  10. Little experience as an RN

    BostonRN13 replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't think so. Will you be hired for a clinic job without hospital experience ? Yes, but it may take longer. Will you learn the ropes anyways despite not having hospital experience? If you have had...

  11. If you can't get a job as new graduate RN...

    BostonRN13 replied to kinokoboy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You're right. The market for the new grad RNs is pretty bad. The benefit though is that with RN experience you'll land an NP job easier and be able to make some professional connections.. It's a tough...

  12. medical error injection

    BostonRN13 replied to jennifer009's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Please tell me that my loved ones or I NEVER end up with a nurse like this taking care of us. As for OP 'fess up move on and always triple check

  13. Dismissed from FNP program

    BostonRN13 replied to vanurse1022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just curious, how did they find

  14. Post Interview Followup

    BostonRN13 replied to jes07's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Forget it, move on. If they are interested in you they know how to find you. I'm going through this myself searching for my first NP job and sometimes even though the interview seemed to go well, they...

  15. Dismissed from FNP program

    BostonRN13 replied to vanurse1022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm sorry. I think being an adult student with a life and family obligations makes it a tough balancing act for sure.. Have you appealed to the Dean of nursing for a redo on clinical and delayed...

  16. Correct grammar

    BostonRN13 replied to chutley76's topic in General Students

  17. Stereotyping Male Nurses

    BostonRN13 replied to lvansick's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think there's some truth to what Stephen is saying. In my 14 years as an RN I've known a disproportionate number of gay male nurses compared to the straight male nurses I've met.. Not that that...

  18. New grad, no job, need help.

    BostonRN13 replied to FloridaNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    North Dakota? They are having the biggest economic growth in the US right now from from the energy boom . Apparently Walmart workers are making $20/hr. There HAS to be a need for NPs with all the new...

  19. How long before job offer extended?

    BostonRN13 replied to tryingtohaveitall's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was just going to post this exact question. Thursday will be 3 weeks since my interviews (which I thought went pretty well). I've heard nothing.

  20. Pregnant while doing Clinicals...is it possible?

    BostonRN13 replied to megank5183's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Been there, done that! I was pregnant and gave birth with my now 18 month old during my curriculum portion of my schooling. At the time I was only taking my health assessment class so was able to...

  21. New NP mistake

    BostonRN13 replied to jamiejo05's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I feel for you! I could see myself, as a new grad NP, doing the same thing for the sake of not "Looking stupid". The MD will forgive you, just keep on doing your best and time heals

  22. 8 months in and suddenly can't start an IV!

    BostonRN13 replied to 1fastRN's topic in Emergency

    I remember my first IVs were on fellow RNs with big, fat veins. Ask if a coworker will let you try on

  23. Clinical hour requirements

    BostonRN13 replied to just keep swimming's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My program required one segment (Family, Women's Health, Pedi etc) to be with an NP. The rest can be with MD, DO or

  24. Negotiating pay; Did you?

    BostonRN13 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Had my first interview today for a inpatient hospital position. I feel like it went well. They told me my hourly rate would be roughly 10K more than I'm making currently as an RN. This is okay but I...

  25. what are some good websites i can use as "sources"

    BostonRN13 replied to jjyiz28's topic in General Students

    Up To Date was by far the most useful resource for me. It's expensive to buy independently so see if your school or work has it. You can email yourself all the articles you'd like and then access them...
