    kfitzy89 replied to kfitzy89's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hey! Sorry I am just seeing this. Unfortunately I had some family hardships over the past few months and have moved back to Michigan; I just applied at Wayne State University, which I hear is pretty...

  2. what grad degree are you guys going to pursue?

    kfitzy89 replied to edwindelahiggins's topic in Men in Nursing

    I can argue vague and unsupported shots in the dark until I am blue in the face. What will it solve? Your opinion is exactly just that--yours. Nurses need to come together in order to enhance the...

    Thank-you for all of the help! It is greatly appreciated. I think I will re-visit U of M-Flint, especially since it is my home state

  4. Nurse Residency Program

    kfitzy89 replied to mcl87's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes! These, in my opinion, are great ways to get your "foot in the door" and slip your way into the hospital setting. I recently applied for one and got it, but declined it do to some steep...

  5. Do you bring a portfolio to interviews?

    kfitzy89 replied to CrazyGoonRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I recently put together a portfolio and separate packets and take about 2-3 with me to each callback interview. In these packets I include my resume, license verification, letters of recommendations,...

  6. What to include on my resume

    kfitzy89 replied to StantonJ777's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Generally, I hear not to include your GPA, as you could be potentially competing against another candidate and you have, say, a 3.60 GPA and the other candidate has a 3.65 GPA. This small margin could...

  9. Need assistance w/IV Fluid & Angina

    kfitzy89 replied to joaniekay's topic in Cardiac

    This is a semi-difficult question to answer. To be frank, I would write that I require more information in order to answer it, haha. The response is contingent upon the lab results. Honestly, you...

  10. what grad degree are you guys going to pursue?

    kfitzy89 replied to edwindelahiggins's topic in Men in Nursing

    Everyone has opinions, let's not argue, lol. For me, I just graduated with BSN and will definitely be continuing with a master's in Family PMH-NP and go a little further to teach. PMH-NP's are scarce...

    kfitzy89 replied to Midakern's topic in Florida Nursing

    My friend just acquired a job at Bayfront in St. Pete with a starting salary of $25/hour with shift differentials. Says it's a nice hospital and friendly community. $21/hr is the starting pay for RN...

  12. Offered PCU Position

    kfitzy89 replied to ash.RN.'s topic in Cardiac

  13. does this sound extremely unsafe or is this typical??

    kfitzy89 replied to raindrop's topic in Cardiac

    This sounds like the perfect recipe for a patient safety issue. I would not be thrilled to be working like that knowing my license could be on the line!

  14. Anyone get good pop up then CC Screen??

    kfitzy89 replied to tiffanyc123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  15. Confused and Overwhelmed!! Please Help.. NCLEX-RN

    kfitzy89 replied to aed2010's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi! First, take some deep breaths and try to not over do it with anxiety. Believe me, I know, haha. I took Kaplan, myself, because I have never been that great of a test taker. Kaplan does come with...

  16. Accelerated BSN vs. Associate degree

    kfitzy89 replied to kbellini's topic in General Students

    While it is none of my business about what you do, I will offer my insight and try to help you from my perspective :) I think that since you are already in a program, it would be senseless to drop out...

  17. Disappointed in my clinical rotation..

    kfitzy89 replied to robdob's topic in General Students

    I've found that every experience is what you make of it. I was on the neuro floor for my med-surg II rotation and had NO interest in Neuro whatsoever. My instructor even apologized to me as it was my...

  19. High Fowlers and increased ICP?

    kfitzy89 replied to randomly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For ICP (and IOP) you want the bed ideally around 30 degrees (semi-fowler's). Autonomic Dysreflexia is an emergent situation where usually the first action is to place your client in high fowler's...

    kfitzy89 replied to RNfindingherway's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You are right, I realize now that I may have worded my response inappropriately and for that I apologize. Unfortunately, the NCLEX is somewhat like splitting fine hairs. Most of the questions are so...

  21. How to answer Priority Questions on the NCLEX?

    kfitzy89 replied to RNfindingherway's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had the question about the adolescent psych patients, too, and it said on mine that the correct answer was 4, because safety is a priority. As for the ED question, I would personally choose option...

  22. Anyone heard from University of South Alabama?
