  4. dont understan DNP

    KellyRN2013 replied to Mvillam's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Correct! But what I am saying is that if you are a MSN NP and you go back for your doctorate you do not take another certification because the certification part is the NP but academically you either...

  5. dont understan DNP

    KellyRN2013 replied to Mvillam's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  6. Honest View of Nursing

    KellyRN2013 replied to Acromic's topic in New York Nursing

    I agree with the answers above to your questions! I also think you need to shadow some nurses at a local facility. Just remember: The opportunities for nurses is HUGE!!! You don't have to do bed side...

  7. dont understan DNP

    KellyRN2013 replied to Mvillam's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Good evening! a DNP does earn more than a MSN NP in my state. The reason being is that NP is just a certification and DNP is actually an academic degree. As of right now, DNP's do not have different...

  8. Can LPNs work in the delivery room or maternity?

    KellyRN2013 replied to FutureLPNty's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  9. Stay or Go

    KellyRN2013 replied to litebrightgirl's topic in Virginia Nursing

    KellyRN2013 replied to CTrnlauren's topic in School, College Programs

  11. Is it okay to decline a job after accepting a contingent offer?

    KellyRN2013 replied to nurseK1212's topic in Nursing Career

    Absolutely not! At least at my facility they were not looked upon differently because they explained the situation. Now if they accept a position and just don't show up with no explanation then yes...

  12. EndoPulmRescu

    KellyRN2013 replied to luluRN14's topic in Nursing Career

    The EndoPulmREscue units do involve a lot of vents and pneumonia. From what I could gather, you have to have your ACLS certification or obtain it within a certain period of time after accepting the...

  13. 1st job as new grad RN at Alzheimer's unit

    KellyRN2013 replied to sassynerd's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You will do just fine! I worked in the Alzheimer's unit even as an LPN. Now they are not all violent. You may have one here or there who is violent but it isn't because of the Alzheimer's, it's...

  15. What's the process for moving out of state after licensing??

    KellyRN2013 replied to Steph001's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You have to have a permanent residence for any compact state. For instance, if you have an address in ohio but you move to VA then while you still have your ohio address you can have your license in...

  16. Icu or ER

    KellyRN2013 replied to Brandnewrn14's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You would definitely need the Cardiac ICU for CRNA school! I would verbally consent with the ER but I would NOT sign a thing until you hear from the ICU. Good luck to

  19. Does applying out of state look good?

    KellyRN2013 replied to cat1235's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am not sure how it is in Vermont. I work as a DON in VA and we have a lot of applicants from nurses out of state. It really is going to depend on how quickly they want to fill the position. If they...

  20. Turning in letter of resignation - help!

    KellyRN2013 replied to circularstaircase's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    @Animaniacs You don't necessarily have to give a resignation letter to HR. Typically, your boss will send HR a copy for their records but in some situations where the facilities seem to "Lose" the...

  21. Doctor office position: Concerns with informality, no HR department

    KellyRN2013 replied to Ewbok123's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  23. Do I need to report this?

    KellyRN2013 replied to Jen_Loves_Nursing's topic in Licensure: Criminal History
