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.

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 wonde...

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 have to add a dose of reality to those who are saying that clinical time is about learning skills like IVs, Foleys, blood administration, etc... Nope. Just nope. You do not graduate nursing school knowing how to do those things. You graduate having...

This is such an amazing thread. I needed this. Gotta add my postpartum two cents. Did you think when you had your baby it would just sleep when you wanted it to and act cute and never cry and not be an inconvenience? Did you think you could be up al...

My husband prefers to see female doctors, I think it is a comfort zone thing. Definitely not a creeper thing.

Lactation education resources is an online program I used to get the 90 hours in for pathway 1.,

Yeah I have to say it again. Baby friendly at our hospital doesn't take away the nursery and shouldn't at any hospital.

People are gonna feel guilty about stuff no matter what. I know.moms are gonna fel guilty though and I work to minimize it. If a mom asks for formula from the beginning, I give it, I may ask "what made you decide to formula feed?" and just chat. If a...

That's baloney. I worked ltc for six months, quit because I was too overloaded and it was unsafe, and quickly got a job in postpartum.

Wow. Just wow. They would not have said that to you if you were male. Sexism at its finest. I am blown away. It's not women's fault that they happen to be the ones who become temporarily unable to work after having a baby. That's how our species move...

When a mom wants the baby in the nursery, I look at their situation. Are they crying from stress? Or, are they a second, third, etc time mom and totally solid on baby care and know what to do when they go home? Bam, let's make a plan for when baby wi...

I am a year and a half in and just this week I am feeling super solid on charting as I go (as in not having a ton to chart after report) and knowing most of the little things. It is insane that we have to feel this way, when people are at their most ...
