  1. Would you recommend going strait to DNP after BSN program

    Dranger replied to Socal_EMT's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The Army is pretty full on on nurses. You might be disappointed in loan reimbursement currently. 1 year experience for reserves and 2 years for active duty. Also AD is very competitive. Also as an...

  2. NP vs. RN job satisfaction

    Dranger replied to Sammi15's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    FNP is the specialty, MSN or DNP is the degree. FNP-MSN, FNP-DNP

  3. Is it OK to discipline nurses extra for calling in sick on a holiday?

    Dranger replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I usually don't care about people calling in sick, but calling in sick consistently on holidays is pretty low and shows that the nurse is not a team player. One holiday is eh but if there is a pattern...

  4. Nursing Informatics to CRNA

    Dranger replied to TheBerriGirl's topic in Nursing Career

    Bad idea. I would be more worried about your ICU experience than deferring school loans by getting another degree. I don't know what kind of MICU you are at, but if it doesn't have a lot of sick...

  5. ACNP @ Grand Canyon University

    Dranger replied to mikkie1317's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I looked at them but they didn't have clinical approval in my state (a looooong process that's risky if you enroll without the approval in

  6. Which FNP school to choose?!...

    Dranger replied to snk2503's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Unfortunately I think all of the schools she listed require the student to find their

  7. Why is finding a preceptor so blahblah difficult!

    Dranger replied to A&OxNone's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You're looking at the situation from a glass half-full perspective which is nice, but also overlooks the bigger problem. The fact that NP students have to set up and facilitate their own learning...

  9. Would you choose nursing again or another health profession?

    Dranger replied to Abbr's topic in Nursing Career

    I would have taken the risk, sucked it up and gone to med school. I ended up completing all of the pre-med courses

  10. Do you stalk anyone here?

    Dranger replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I stalk most of the usuals and I like to hang out around inflammatory threads to cause trouble lol. These said regulars usually partake in the threads as well. I don't usually use the like button...

  11. First Incident Report

    Dranger replied to gemmi999's topic in General Nursing

    I could literally write up an incident report on almost every ED admit I get into the ICU. Do I? No. While 2.4 is low (I have seen less than 1) and cardiac monitoring should have been implemented,...

  12. Before I begin school....

    Dranger replied to ixchel's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What I did was troll SDN and harass my med student friends for tips and hints. You what find much resource or material discussion on here like you will on SDN, especially since there is a lot of STEP...

  13. How do you know when to get an order?

    Dranger replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing I will do in the ICU is at best x-ray (abdomen and chest) and restraints. There is a lot of evidence that daily labs isn't all that necessary unless there is a specific reason. We do A...

  14. Any NPs with an MBA?

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

    I took German for six years and became pretty good at reading it. During conversation I struggled because I had to think in my head all the time about verb conjugation and word placement... So when I...

  16. Personal Guidance

    Dranger replied to anonymous2626's topic in General Nursing

    As a straight male I have touched more memberes than I want to (which ideally is 0) and have seen more not-so-picturesque lady partss than I could ever imagine. I don't enjoy it but,.... ...its what...

  17. Arterial sticks and analysis

    Dranger replied to heinz57's topic in Critical Care

    We can but I never have. Our RTs are staffed well and I have other things to do.... Nurses are not staffed well at my hospital due to

  18. Are we doing good for our patients?

    Dranger replied to GeologistRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    No sedation on a paralyzed patient? That's akin to to locked-in syndrome. Even with fluid concerns that is

  19. Any NPs with an MBA?

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

    A lot of my unemployed friends went and got an MBA after undergrad, they are still unemployed. Much like law schools, an MBA matters when it is tied to a top tier program like Stanford or Penn. As a...

  20. Pay off loans, NP school, or specialty certificate?

    Dranger replied to RunawayN's topic in General Nursing

    Pay loans. Everyone is going to NP school at the

  21. Have you met your husband at nursing? Is nursing a good career to meet men?

    Dranger replied to Upward_Bound's topic in General Nursing

    I am a male dating a female nurse. So yes its possible lol. My bros always thinks its cool I am dating a

  22. What about Hawaii?

    Dranger replied to Ruger8mm's topic in General Nursing

    They pay does not equal the cost of living. Nurses do not live well in Hawaii. Nice place to visit, but not live. I had the option to get stationed there but I turned it down. I have visited before,...

  23. after 35 years, I cannot believe it

    Dranger replied to Carolyn1234's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are taking my post way too personally. In the vast amount of circumstances, taking SS at 62 is not the best decision if it can be

  24. after 35 years, I cannot believe it

    Dranger replied to Carolyn1234's topic in General Nursing

    You can't do per diem or PRN? Realistically talking social security at 62 isn't smart and you don't want to burn bridges at an otherwise good job. Ask for a couple weeks of them go PRN. There are...

  25. Who is working while completing NP?

    Dranger replied to roman1006's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I dropped to per diem. I think it's certainly possible to work full time but I like having a life that includes video games, lifting weights, and going out etc. Strategic saving and planning allowed...
