I applied to all my jobs out of state without obtaining a license in those states (no purpose if I don’t get a job offer, move dependent on job). I feel like most applications I filled out asked if I currently hold or am ELIGIBLE to obtain licensu...

I felt it was part of Standard Precautions to wear face/eye/gown protection when there is the possibility of getting splashed with a substance while at work (ie: emptying foley, cleaning up liquid stool that is running down the bed and towards to nur...

Hope things work out for you. But I am curious, and not to judge/be mean, but how did you have such a serious lapse in judgement? Not sure of your experience, but how did you imagine that what you were doing was OK at any point? Again pure curiosity...

Your contract for the NICU is only 1 year? Let’s focus on being an employable adult and stick with it for the remaining four months. It is not worth burning bridges (especially for this new short term gig) and paying penalties when all that you have ...

True. It seems many individuals go the route of “easy” and some random online program with limited admission criteria. I paid for my graduate program out of pocket without incurring any debt, so it is definitely possible. On the same note, I’ve work...

Not an expert but I’m sure you’ve considered the benefits v cost of school ratio. How does this impact your planned retirement? I personally do not feel your age would hinder obtaining a job.. if may help from an assumption of age = wisdom. Resear...

You’ll make things work when you need to, similar to others statements, it varies. I maintained a full-time job, three 12-hr shifts and clinical/school. There were weeks where I legitimately did my 3 work shifts and 3 clinical shifts (six 12-hrs). ...

Are you seriously talking about / considering a 4th “job” now? You need an intervention. Something is not right here, you simply cannot be this financially incompetent at your age.

ICU 3 months orientation paired with another NP for each shift with gradual shift in being more independent and responsible. As well as in unit training, additional “boot camp” like education days were assigned and part of the new hire new NP proc...

This. Find a new ED. My friend works in one and while yes in an ED whatever walks through those doors must be treated from infant to death.. their contract specifically states they will not see pediatric patients and only those above .. what’s the ag...

Young individual here. I have NEVER wore a suit for any job interview. Pre-nursing, nursing, or for my nurse practitioner jobs. I am not a dress savvy male. But I’ve always approached interviews in dress slacks with a proper button up. Neutral/com...

It is certainly not good practice as you can guarantee, as previously mentioned, if something goes south they will not back you. When I was working in the ICU as an RN years ago I had a fellow tell me to “do whatever I wanted” in regards to meds/s...

Seems he is making money selling a book with self help tips. Everyone is an author this day and age.

AGACNP here, my search out of state were for hospitals listed as teaching hospitals, trauma 1, academic centers. I then found the career page for each hospital and searched for what was available that fit in my criteria. I did one of those third p...

You need to quit with the pity party and stop placing blame on external problems (Cali’s fault, you have no friends/family). Continue that path and you’ll get no where in life. If you want to be a nurse, then go out and do it. For the majority of ...

“Have you ever *** the bed?”

You announced your pregnancy and 2 weeks later were fired? ? ..

My one question is, did you not interview for the position and ask about your work schedule, shadowed? It sounds like you’re not a fan of the “scut” work yet moved into a job with a much greater amount of it. Unless you did not realize this dislik...

Are you currently employed? Think the best option is to sit tight. Believe it takes about 3-4mo for California licensing. You can check the Cali BON website, there is a section where they tell you what date of submitted applications they’re currently...

You’re describing The specialty of NP retirement. It is hard to come by for many.

Oh okay. Not aware but I attended all B&M schools. I would say call them and start the tedious task of that holding queue

Not sure what your question is.. you will send transcripts from all schools at time of application.

Not a FNP, but I would think you should be doing thorough and complete exams. I went to high school (years ago now ?) with a kid who was active in sports and pretty healthy. He was dead two to three years after high school graduation from testicula...

I’ve known a Trauma NP, they worked the trauma service (ICU and flood traumas), they also did outpatient clinic follow up, and (as if not already busy) would scrub in the OR and assist with prep, skin graft, debridement. Myself, I am a NP in a sur...
