  1. Collaborative Physician Issues

    Back2SchoolRN replied to nbtw's topic in Advanced Practice

    ntbw, We must not be the only ones. Surely! On my first NP job in the Midwest, I interviewed with one collaborator and found out after I started that he was being pushed out and the jerk they hired...

  2. Time to give up?

    Back2SchoolRN replied to wiwhitedog's topic in Nursing Career

    I totally get that you have limitations, and have a right to want acute care. Being willing to commute is great. And ultimately if your family situation just won't let you work nights, you do have to...

  3. PSYCH ARNP

    Back2SchoolRN replied to Debi Fischer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think completion rate may be a better focus. Getting in is always easier than getting through! (Some things are federally monitored, and so schools that are not especially fair-minded may be...

  4. What types of NPs are in higher demand?

    Back2SchoolRN replied to Metalchild's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Might any of you be willing to share the general area you're describing, as in the Islands, Southwest, etc.? I don't think that would compromise our anonymity, but could go a long way in helping...

  5. Suggestions on possible NP job offer

    Back2SchoolRN replied to earthsalt's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes, and nothing like feeling you are giving substandard care to patients right out of the gates to make you feel even more accomplished and caring as a provider, hmmm? Not to mention the liability...

  6. what happens if IT issue intervenes in online schooling?

    Back2SchoolRN posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hello, I'm wondering if anyone out there has had a technical barrier interfere with submission of a critical exam or project by a deadline for an online nursing course, and if so, what your school...

  7. what happens if IT issue intervenes in online schooling?

    Back2SchoolRN replied to Back2SchoolRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Tasha, yes--devastated is the right word. I am working hard on moving on but it certainly makes me feel nurses are still "eating their young", especially as the school was not just firm in their "no",...

  8. what happens if IT issue intervenes in online schooling?

    Back2SchoolRN replied to Back2SchoolRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Good point, Ella; I don't know. Usually when there are problems, each party blames it on someone else. AT&T blamed Examity, Examity blamed Blackboard, the school blamed me, I don't know where the...

  9. I need a help for the USA

    Back2SchoolRN replied to Ashmi11's topic in International Nursing

    JustBeachy, I'm a little surprised to hear how harsh your tone seems to be toward Ashmi11. He or she is asking simple factual questions, and yet your answers suggest you think he or she is expecting...

  10. what happens if IT issue intervenes in online schooling?

    Back2SchoolRN replied to Back2SchoolRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Oh, Ella! Thank you for sharing this publicly; people need to know. You are now the 3rd student I actually know from this school who had the same experience (of difficulty connecting with the outside...

  11. I'm Just Doing My Job...

    Back2SchoolRN replied to Bridgid Joseph's topic in Nurses Rock

    Yes, and sometimes as the patient when told the same thing, it makes what may have above-and-beyond for that nurse in that situation less than what it really was. A more honest reply might be, "I'm...

  12. Abandonment or not? Need opinions! in Louisiana

    Back2SchoolRN replied to nicole8476's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I wonder what happens when you feel you are in an urgent medical situation yourself, and must get help for yourself, but not quite 911? It seems to me that, because even a 911 illness could happen to...

  13. Fearing Ebola? Get a Flu Shot

    Back2SchoolRN replied to MrChicagoRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, false alarms are bad, and so would someone ignoring "flu-like" symptoms when they did have risk factors, because they presume it's most likely the flu. Worst come to worst, if a national hysteria...

  14. Marian University online nursing - don't go there

    Back2SchoolRN replied to lovetheprofession's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Having been an online student, I ma getting the strong impression that, unless the school is online-only, or has had an online program for well over a decade, it may be the the professors have been...

  15. nursing researc paper

    Back2SchoolRN replied to Psoon2bFNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Wow; this goes beyond laziness; it's unethical. If you were caught, it would be justifiable to restrict or remove your license, that you would cheat in your training. Papers are not fun, but I'm...

  16. So much for DNP being clinical doctorate

    Back2SchoolRN replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Well, I think you are right, and that's my point: Adding that other content defines the DNP role as population management, albeit from multiple angles. It says the clinical knowledge needed is much...

  17. So much for DNP being clinical doctorate

    Back2SchoolRN replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Kurt-NP, I could not agree more abut the utility of a greater clinical focus. To me, "fluff", "padding", etc., means more post-MSN courses with the same name, focus and content as MSN "core" courses...

  18. AGNP + FPMHNP? worth it? how best to do...

    Back2SchoolRN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello, I was in an online FPMHNP and very excited to be making good grades, and about to start my clinicals. Then, a month ago, I had trouble connecting to a proctored exam, and was required to...

  19. what happens if IT issue intervenes in online schooling?

    Back2SchoolRN replied to Back2SchoolRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You are right; we just have to be cautious, and willing to back out if the signs of "in it for the money" appear. These might include: ...."fibbing" about how many transfer credits are allowed, "fibs"...

  20. what happens if IT issue intervenes in online schooling?

    Back2SchoolRN replied to Back2SchoolRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As a follow-up, let me state that they have been incredibly cold and distant about it, confirming, I guess, that once you have a problem, you ARE the problem, and so why should they care anymore,...

  21. Can I become a Nurse at 40?

    Back2SchoolRN replied to amoy36's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    helpiscoming, I'm making a late switch, too, and I have realized one major "plus" of starting late: At a time in our lives when many who once dreamed of being nurses, too, are just bored to death,...

  22. Can I become a Nurse at 40?

    Back2SchoolRN replied to amoy36's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It could really help to connect with someone who is already an RN and who you give you that extra "oomph" of determination when your confidence or energy wobble, as they do for nearly every nursing...

  23. University of South Alabama Psychiatric NP program

    Back2SchoolRN replied to BDev's topic in School, College Programs

    Wimberly, there is SO much help out there for writing a great essay; do not let that stand in your way! You will need to improve those skills anyway for grad school, especially online schools as they...

  24. Help choosing the right diagnosis

    Back2SchoolRN replied to ScarletJones's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Gases exchange can be compromised w/ fluid overload. and COPD, SOB could be a sign, also O2 sat 95% on O2, not room

  25. what happens if IT issue intervenes in online schooling?

    Back2SchoolRN replied to Back2SchoolRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Glycerin82, they absolutely would not allow me any possible way to make it up. No taking the same course at another accredited grad school and transferring in; no rescheduling the exam; no taking it...
