  1. New grad, how long to stay in job...

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

    I think 1.5 years is enough. You're under no contractual obligation. You'll have acquired enough experience to know what you're doing and become competitive. Don't withhold momentum in your life...

  2. Is it true that a DNP will soon be required to be an NP?

    guest769224 replied to kep308's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It is not required and I doubt it will be soon. I think of it as similar to the BSN taking the place of ADN. We will never see it completely phase out. I work with an NP who just graduate with her...

    guest769224 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

  4. ICU pay differential?

    guest769224 replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Critical Care

    Why would ICU nurses deserve to make more? An RN is an RN. Critical care differentials are quite uncommon. You are paid more in the knowledge you'll

  5. CRNA School Advice and Info! Will I make it?

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

    The way I did it was I applied to all the ICU's in the area I live in. I was granted a tech position. Sometimes ICU's will take their techs who graduate as RN's directly into the unit. (skipping...

  6. CRNA School Advice and Info! Will I make it?

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

    Grades are only one of many things that determine your acceptance. I wouldn't worry so much about your prerequisite GPA as I would for your nursing school grades (you need to rock those), and your...

    guest769224 replied to ShondaJ's topic in California Nursing

    To reel in the unsuspecting suckers. No personal attacks on you two. Just stating there is NO reason a BSN should cost such an outrageous amount. I know you would choose a cheaper program if you were...

  9. West Coast University LA Jan 2015

    guest769224 replied to ShondaJ's topic in California Nursing

    Guys, have some common sense and go to a school that doesn't cost 130k thousand dollars. Attendance at such a pricey school will lead to regret. Ignorance will not protect you when financial...

  10. What are the levels of NICUs?

    guest769224 replied to jamisaurus's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Level 2- special care nursery (relatively healthy newborns) Level 3- complex and very sick babies (vented, drips, life threatening) Level 4- critically ill, often for very specialized surgeries that a...

  11. Student Loans

    guest769224 replied to babyreed07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is true if you are employed in a approved facility, qualifying for the HRSA loan repayment. Outside of that, I haven't heard of loan repayment by employers. I do know some hospitals are...

  12. Can you go to nurse anesthesia school after becoming an anesthesia technician?

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

    The only way to become a CRNA is to obtain your BSN. (And rarely bachelors of another kind). Perhaps instead of an anesthesia tech, become an ICU tech so it could increase your chance of a new grad...

    guest769224 replied to GlitterFaerie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It would probably best to look at alternative CNA options. I completed mine in a single

  14. Is emergency nursing the most intense nursing there is?

    guest769224 replied to Trey P's topic in Emergency

    Why would anyone over 18 be sent to the PICU vs. an adult

  15. Anesthesia Growth outlook

    guest769224 replied to javelinj279's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hasn't it been established that NP's are even more saturated then CRNA's though? I've read that NP/PA are fast becoming saturated. No idea if that's true, but I know we have many more NP's out there...

  16. Question: Specialty pay for Labor & Delivery nursing?

    guest769224 replied to LaborRN3's topic in Ob/Gyn

    L&D is not likely to receive specialty pay, nor are other units. It is usually the same across the board. However, a handful of hospitals pay more to "critical care" - ICU/ER Although labor and...

  18. Are American hospitals ready for Ebola?

    guest769224 replied to texarkana 551's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My major hospital system sent out this email a few days back. It appears as though they are trying their best to be equipped should the virus present itself. I deleted the hospital and state name for...

    guest769224 replied to efawcett's topic in Travel

    Of the areas you listed, AZ would be the best if you want to play outdoors this winter. Very mild and pleasant weather. Close to Vegas or Cali if you wanted a quick trip. Seattle would be very

  20. E 68 and visitation

    We did change our policy to nobody under 18. Siblings 14 and up are the only exception. We have confirmed Entero

  21. Which RN-BSN programs can be finished in 1 year?

    guest769224 replied to JasonKa's topic in New York Nursing

    The 2 main advantages to WGU are how cheap it is and how quick you can advance. If you can afford to forgo those two options for a program that will graduate you with a higher chance into graduate...

  22. Which RN-BSN programs can be finished in 1 year?

    guest769224 replied to JasonKa's topic in New York Nursing

    I know of people who have been accepted to graduate school as WGU BSN grads. CRNA, NP, and PA. However it may work against you that they default you to a 3.0 GPA. Valid
