  1. Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

    Dranger replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    No sense delving into a conversation where people are just going to bring emotions into the fray. The studies are blatantly skewed for an agenda, but most people either have very little knowledge of...

  2. Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

    Dranger replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    Right, same thing for pushing women into male dominated

  3. Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

    Dranger replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    Salaries vs wages vs overall earnings Negotiation The studies I have seen are so full of holes I wonder how they even got published. I am not going to delve into this topic but it has been debunked so...

  4. Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

    Dranger replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    I am a male nurse, there should be NO artificial push to get men into nursing just as there should be NO artificial push to get women into STEM fields. This diversity/inclusiveness BS is getting out...

  5. Walmart cashiers wearing gloves?

    Dranger replied to Misstika's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Literally something that will never be on my radar...ever. I just want my 2am chips and

  6. Pay

    Dranger replied to rockyroad#'s topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would take 40 an hour if they expect me to sit in my office and play video games all

  7. CCNE Releases New Standards

    Dranger replied to Dodongo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My school had ACEN before CCNE. From my anecdotal experience, CCNE accreditation is preferred. I suspect that if CCNE pushes this ACEN will need to bend the knee. If they don't they will unequivocally...

  8. How do you discuss gender issues with adolescents?

    Dranger replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

    Question: Has anyone ever had a trans patient who didn't have at least anxiety, depression, bipolar or PTSD in their health history? Are the two related? Chicken before the egg kind of thing? Or does...

  9. What's Your Longest Lasting PIV?

    Dranger replied to bgxyrnf's topic in General Nursing

    The 3-4 days things is a myth, I have never seen any actual evidence that it benefits a patient to rotate IV sites unless there is infiltration or obvious infection. 40 days is bit long though and I...

  10. Is it possible for a nurse to become a doctor?

    Dranger replied to madel23's topic in General Nursing

    Interestingly enough, there is a PA to DO bridge program Accelerated Physician Assistant Pathway - LECOM Education

  11. Is it possible for a nurse to become a doctor?

    Dranger replied to madel23's topic in General Nursing

    RN who did pre-med here. Almost none of the BSN/RN courses counted for pre-med. Just an

  12. Online FNP that doesn't feel self taught?

    Dranger replied to Marina.h's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have heard of it, what's the

  13. New NP pay

    Dranger replied to Guest1059175's topic in Advanced Practice

    While NP pay is generally terrible that job is primarily for RNs. I think they threw NP in the chance they get a moron to apply. 25-40 in Cali for a RN is absolutely abysmal in any

  14. Why I would tell you to stay out of nursing

    Dranger replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Lol 23 year olds with comm degrees get paid 125k starting in Seattle when they work for Amazon/Expedia/Google. Nurses scrounge for 60k.....it's pretty much a joke. At least

  15. Thinking of giving up FNP program

    Dranger replied to Guest838984's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Honestly, for that low of a salary in Cali I rather have a job that is cookie cutter without much autonomy. Why have all the responsibility and scut work without decent pay? NPs wanting 100% autonomy...

  16. MSN-FNP or General DNP?

    Dranger replied to Circulating's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Until it is mandated, there is no greater waste of tuition dollars than the DNP. Even with an MSN-NP I have seen 2-3 year programs (even at my school) that are double the cost of my MSN with 0 return....

  17. Number of Credits/Clinical Hours for MSN FNP Program

    Dranger replied to terfernay's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You should be afraid. Most of the courses are indeed fluff. 500-700 is the average and means schools have liability insurance that won't let you go above that. I pushed the limit the best I could....

  18. List of 100% Online Acute Care NP Programs

    Dranger replied to Colorado Yeti's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I guarantee the difficulty to get in far surpasses any NP school out there. Hell, the pre reqs and GRE would deter 99% of NP applicants. "At no time are students required to identify or obtain...

  19. List of 100% Online Acute Care NP Programs

    Dranger replied to Colorado Yeti's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It says on their website that there is an on campus visit. Honestly in my mind, I don't think there is a realistic scenario where a NP program (sans clinical) can be done 100% online. Preceptors are...

  20. New DNP mandate

    Dranger replied to Rocknurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am annoyed because it affects me and my salary because they are poor negotiators. I care not for their ego. Full

  21. Any jobs that male nurses are "not allowed" to do?

    Dranger replied to skihan's topic in Male Nursing Students

    My buddy is an OB nurse and firefighter, I don't think he has had many issues but it is certainly rare. The rest of nursing, sans Women's health/SANE nursing is fair

  23. Unions vs Non Union Hospitals

    Dranger replied to Grobyc82's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Unions in my area are completely useless, COl went up 14% in Seattle last year, 13% the year before and they negotiate the same 1.5-2% cookie cutter raise each year. Literally copy and paste each new...

  24. United States University (USU) FNP

    Dranger replied to Mrskeene3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    One of those cheap for-profits that lets everyone into the program. The thirst is strong in this thread. I doubt there is a graduating class

  25. Thinking about going back to school. Thoughts?

    Dranger replied to Dd04321's topic in General Nursing

    I am a soon to be ACNP grad and here is my 2 cents. Don't do it. With the rate NP schools are pumping out grads salaries and quality job positions will decline. Ask any floor at any hospital and half...
