  1. Men's Health NP Specialty

    guest769224 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am curious if a Men's Health NP specialty will ever be offered in the future. I know we have the Women's Health NP and that women have more complex issues necessitating that sub-specialty, but what...

  2. NICU with no experience

    guest769224 replied to iHeartPeds4ever's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City Utah offers new grad residencies 2 times a year. They are BSN and new grad friendly :) they will open a May cohort

  3. Best prep specialty for FNP

    guest769224 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hey everyone! I am looking to get thoughts and opinions on what specialty best prepares an RN to transition into the FNP role. I have seen various comments here stating that it is wise to specialize...

  4. Online Programs

    guest769224 replied to aichanss's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  5. New Grad RN can't find a job

    guest769224 replied to morganv's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Totally agree with you. This is my story and I graduate later this year with my RN. Going straight into the ICU because I've proven my ethic as a tech on the floor. Highly recommend this to other...

  6. Nurse Practitioner vs Physicians Assistant

    guest769224 replied to _iamkel's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Myself and one of the neonatal nurse practitioners on this site have recently published an article that discusses working and practicing as an NNP in the real world. You will find a few other NNP's...

  7. Nurse Practitioner vs Physicians Assistant

    guest769224 replied to _iamkel's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Why would they do that, when that is exactly what it is called? Your statement makes no sense to me. I doubt pronunciation in the "plural form" would make them throw your application out, but whatevs....

  8. what was the hardest nursing class you took?

    guest769224 replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    My hardest has been Med/Surg learning all the fluid imbalances, electrolytes, acid bases, assessments and interventions for each one. It's a lot to take in! Big exam on it next week. Pharm was also...

    guest769224 replied to AKagan's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hey there! Utah hires new grad ADN nurses all the time. It's beautiful out

  10. grad school and travel nursing

    guest769224 replied to Soliloquy's topic in Travel

    I believe the member travelingdorsey is doing just that in an NP program. Search for her on here, she and I have had discussions about it, you could private message her, although she is only on every...

  11. Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

    guest769224 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    My nursing instructor pronounces Haldol

  12. Should I quit nursing school?

    guest769224 replied to mara.bug's topic in General Students

    We had a guy in my nursing program with a very similar story, he ended up taking a LOA for this semester and he's been much happier. Maybe you could try that while thinking it over if you want to...

  13. Future Market Saturation

    guest769224 replied to guest538567's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You know, you can control that in an outpatient independent NP practice. An advantage PA's don't

  14. Does your ICU have CNA's?

    guest769224 replied to Rose44's topic in Critical Care

    Ruby, fine, a few minutes or so. Still worth it to get the extra help vs attempting on your own. Way to

  15. What did you give up to be in nursing school?

    guest769224 replied to negatron's topic in General Students

    I moved 300+ miles away from my family and friends to get into a program. It's been hard not seeing them. I sold my nice Acura to eliminate a car payment and now drive a nice junker. I moved into a...

  16. BSN to CRNA Suggestions/Necessities

    guest769224 replied to mirandaaa's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey, I will offer what I can. Every CRNA school requires a minimum of 1 year of working in the ICU as a nurse. You will be up against applicants that have anywhere from 3-10+ years in the ICU. So,...

  17. Pathway to DNP

    guest769224 replied to AnthoScott's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    How do you figure that? I was under the impression that PA's are paid equal or less than NP's, especially since NP's have the opportunity to practice independently, which would allow for higher...

  18. Perfume at work?

    guest769224 replied to fawnmarie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Reeking perfume is not rudeness. That is totally overblown. I've eaten in break rooms 4 years and have yet to witness the example you

  19. Huge over supply of nurses

    guest769224 replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing

    With many hospital's mindsets on the money, and not the employee, I think jobs will be abundant in the future. Considering how burned out staff nurses are becoming with upper management- the...

    guest769224 replied to guest769224's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  22. Numbers on patient ratios

    guest769224 posted a topic in California Nursing

    If anyone could tell me what the patient ratios for nurses working Med/Surg in CA are, that would be awesome. My clinical instructor told me yesterday that they are over the top and like 1:8. I...

  23. What kind of CNA are you?

    guest769224 replied to Chesterton1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hook up telemetry, bed changes, insert IV's, draw blood, cuddle babies, wound changes, assist with suturing, input doctor orders, deliver medications to nurses, each day a learning experience. It's...

  24. Travel Nursing Before Applying to CRNA School?

    guest769224 replied to ASHICU's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Get your references now, at your current job. A former coworker of mine picked up a few travel assignments before starting his CRNA program. He loved it. Great way to destress and kick back on a...

  25. What kind of CNA are you?

    guest769224 replied to Chesterton1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    With my CNA I work in an emergency room, a newborn ICU, and a trauma ICU. It all depends which state you live in, and what the hospital will allow. Got to say, it's pretty dang
