  1. What is the least stressful high paying nursing specialty?

    Dranger replied to celtickimba's topic in General Nursing

    Trauma ICU or a medicaid/medicare MICU for

  2. Precepting in Postpartum - pros and cons?

    Dranger replied to spaghetina's topic in General Students

    Post-partum is a steal of a deal. You make just as much as any other nurse in the hospital without all the stress. I remember my gf worked nights in PP and literally had time to txt all night. In a...

  3. Should I just go with this expensive college?

    Dranger replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    Did you even read the post of the person I quoted? No you didn't. I can absolutely compare ROI for the two degrees. I encourage you to research the lacking reimbursement for those who go out at an...

  4. FNP Online Courses suggestions?

    Dranger replied to Sunshine,R.N.'s topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Of those? Simmons by

  5. FNP in a psychiatric office?

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

    Should and allowed are two totally different things. Just because the BON is loosey goosey on restricting practice to specific specialties in some states doesn't mean it's a good thing. As many on...

  6. Should I just go with this expensive college?

    Dranger replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    Lol what? An MBA is worth far less than a nursing degree. You know how common MBAs are? Ask my two friends still living on their parents couches. If you don't go to a top tier school it's just another...

  7. Thinking

    Dranger replied to Jessicalynn7's topic in General Nursing

    I can succinctly say nursing is not for the OP, nothing to see here people let's just move

  8. Possible double major while waiting for RN program?

    Dranger replied to srichardson816's topic in General Nursing

    Yes and if you ever decide to go for your masters you will be mercilessly hung out

  9. Air Force icu

    Dranger replied to JohnRossi's topic in Government, Military

    Honestly the military has a great CRNA program (plus free is tempting) but the civvy route seems to be the best way to go. I have many friends who did a year of ICU right after graduation and were in...

  10. FNP in a psychiatric office?

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

    I was under the impression psych NPs do the med management and less psychotherapy. At least this is what my PsyD/PhD friend tells me....Jules

  11. is nursing a life science degree?

    Dranger replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, overqualified. This means the OP won't be seeing RN money. I would wait till a specific RN slot appears, they exist as they rule out (or give the OK) our patients on ventilators for organ...

  12. Possible double major while waiting for RN program?

    Dranger replied to srichardson816's topic in General Nursing

    Push towards the RN/BSN by any means necessary. Health admin or MHA-type degrees are a waste of time for most part, trudging down the MBA path of "it all matters where you went to school". If your...

  13. FNP Skill Bootcamps?

    Dranger replied to applesxoranges's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes there are programs out there, I have a link if you want to PM me. Costs are 500-600 for 1-2

  14. FNP vs. ACNP

    Dranger replied to LacyMarie's topic in Post Graduate Students

    ACNP can work specialty clinics and acute care so aside from primary care and kids they can do a lot that FNPs can. In addition you are trained to do more

  15. Nursing is not for me

    Dranger replied to RNhere's topic in General Students

    MPH and MHA (yes I lumped them) degrees are tenuous at best without proper guidance. I know many healthcare recruiters barely scrapping by with their master's in health degrees. Point is, grass isn't...

  16. is nursing a life science degree?

    Dranger replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    I don't consider a BSN life science in the academic sense. Usually life science is biology, micro, biochem, chemistry, zoology, botany etc. While nursing is definitely science it is usually in a...

  17. Current high school senior who is determined on becoming a nurse practitioner.

    Dranger replied to Gabriella06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The fact you want to be an NP is moot, focus on the now which is getting into nursing school. It sounds like you are on the right path if you heed the advice from the posters

  18. Army nursing

    Dranger replied to Danajkelly's topic in Government, Military

    It is very very tough to get into, scholarships are even rarer. I got in (Army ROTC) when the wars were at their peak so it was easier. The military is downsizing as a whole so that means less nurses....

  19. Late arriving Nurses

    Freaking day

  20. Bsn to nurse practitioner

    Dranger replied to DREAM2RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Please don't be a NP if your concern is

  21. Question about DQ conditions

    Dranger replied to TnRN43's topic in Government, Military

    Look, there is no reason to be snarky. I am not pulling any from comments from my behind. I did ROTC recruiting for a bit and dealt with nurses and DODMERB waivers. You could ask the recruiter to...

  22. Question about DQ conditions

    Dranger replied to TnRN43's topic in Government, Military

    Well a few years ago it was 42 without a waiver so I don't see how with recruiting getting more restricted a 46 year old with 2.5 years M/S experience would get boarded. I understand requirements flux...

  23. Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

    Dranger replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

    Okay people, in a dire circumstance without orders on a plane in the middle of the ocean I am going to push drugs. I am sure airlines/Feds/States have a protocol to cover licensed medical folks as...

  24. Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

    Dranger replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

    I had a coworker (ICU Nurse) respond during a plane medical situation (vagal/brady situation with LOC in an elderly patient), he communicated with a doc on ground via radio in the cockpit and did...

  25. Question about DQ conditions

    Dranger replied to TnRN43's topic in Government, Military

    I think you would more difficulty with an age waiver being
