4. Am I wrong for thinking that this APRN was wrong?...

   Mhsrnbsn replied to bekind_andtrue's topic in Relations

   But you were smart enough to pass the NCLEX-PN. You're not dumb, but definitely feel you are dangerous in practice due to a severe lack of initiative. ITS OK TO ASK QUESTIONS. I DONT KNOW IS UNACCEPTABLE. I started as a CNA, I was an LPN, and I'm and...

   I'm having a wonderful experience at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. 99.9% online. You just need to do 3 residencies (they last 1-3 days each every May) it's a masters program. My only complaint is you need to be your own advoc...

6. Which Should I Choose FNP vs Acute Care/Gerontology NP?

   Mhsrnbsn replied to AlmostANurse321's topic in NP Students

   Let me tell you a dirty little secret... If you do FNP you can treat patients from the womb to the tomb. It's FAMILY so you would be able to manage pediatrics, adult, geriatrics. Hospitals do employ FNPs that were not trained by an acute care school....

7. Nurse selling to patient

   Mhsrnbsn replied to broosevader's topic in General Nursing

   This is murky water to tread on. I personally wouldn't do it, but know of nurse who have. In the hospital setting this is an extreme no-no. I guess to find out the problem would be to figure out how the patient came to this agreement.... Were the so...

8. 3 Nursing Assessments And Nursing Interventions When A Pt Becomes Unconscious

   Mhsrnbsn replied to Patrick Villamor's topic in Student Assist

   If you think this is an appropriate way to solicit help from experienced nurses... I can't wait to see you in clinicals this sounds like a homework question if I ever heard one. If you want help ask, but don't quiz us on stuff we already know, we ha...

9. Toxic Workplace?

   Mhsrnbsn replied to ESpeed15's topic in General Nursing

   Sounds like you're young new fresh and the world is idealistic. Nursing is a 24/7 profession. I have worked long term care, subacute care, and acute care in the hospital. I have worked day shift and night shift and let me tell you something... Coming...

12. New grad, do not feel challenged at all. Help?

    Mhsrnbsn replied to RNinCali15's topic in New Nurse

    Unfortunately, my superiors also like to beat around the bush and not explain why certain nurses are not getting patients they want or feel they need... I do not doubt your skills OP, but maybe you need to re-evaluate your own attitude. I get we are...

13. Unconventional hair colors

    Mhsrnbsn replied to ScientistSalarian's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I could say our appearance doesn't speak for our capabilities but in the minds of many patients it does. I think how well recieved your choice of hair color will be, is based on where you work. If you work with the more elderly patients hones...

14. Any NPs start from LPN?

    Mhsrnbsn replied to BabyFood26's topic in NP
