  2. Online NP School suggestions

    Dranger replied to Jessi Cottrell's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  3. Online NP School suggestions

    Dranger replied to Jessi Cottrell's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You won't find many online schools (if any) that will find preceptors for you unless you live in the local area. There might be local brick and mortar school with a hybrid option where you can work...

    Dranger replied to sgerry's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  5. Burnt out

    Dranger replied to RNtoACGNP's topic in General Nursing

    I saved a ton and just decided to stop working full-time when I went to school. That helped a lot. I do per diem now and even though I work 1-2 shifts a week (I don't have to) it feels a lot better...

  11. Question from a doc on NP education

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

  12. ICU vs. ED - New grad choice struggles

    Dranger replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I disagree. If he was offered both an ED and ICU position, the obvious choice would be to take the ICU position which is required for CRNA school. Realistically, if he did opt for the ED it...

  13. ICU vs. ED - New grad choice struggles

    Dranger replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Nursing

    If your goal is to be a CRNA, why drag it out? Do ICU and don't look back. You need to look at the long-term goal, not short-term

  19. Always 'paying my dues' because i'm PRN?

    Dranger replied to Mrs_Momma_RN's topic in Nursing Career

    The benefits of PRN outweigh the negatives, really. It's a glorious feeling to see work being a sh**-show and knowing you have the power to decide if you want to come back the next day. It is...
