This thread sounds a whole lot like the ASN nurses fussing about having to get their BSN.

There's always the option of going back to school for a master's, even a non nursing masters.

I am applying to the university of cincinnati, msn fnp, it was recommended by multiple people.

I know some schools won't allow it.

Don'tlend it to any residents who "forgot theirs and need yours quick" you won't see it again.

Get the BSN asap. It's becoming the minimum standard.

Not your place. You are there to learn and observe. It's perfectly fine to make up a used bed.

That is horribly misogynistic. So you don't scare patients? This was only directed at the women right? I think you should tell them the guys need to wear makeup to clinical too. What a load of crap.

It is definitely , lots of women have done it. My friend had a baby like a week before starting a graduate nursing program. You may find you need a semester off and most schools will accommodate that.

When I graduate from NP school I will have only about $35,000 total debt including undergrad.

If it helps, my father in law is an Ob/Gyn and employs a whnp. I asked him if it matters what school np's attend and he said he couldn't care less.

At my hospital, preterm and SGA babies are tested q2-3 hr for 24 hrs, and LGA babies and those born to type 1, 2 or GDM moms are tested q2-3 hr for 12 hrs. The last three blood sugars have to be above 45.

No, I delivered in Michigan and I declined the erythromycin

They did talk about it with us in the last semester. On our unit it seems to be toward the younger nurses. I get what everyone is saying and it helps.

I am about done. Where I work there is this culture that allows for day shift nurses to be flat out ******* to the offgoing night shifters during report. It is a poisonous culture on my otherwise great unit. It stands in such contrast to a few wonderful day shift nurses who will come in and help solve problems and are a calming presence.
