  1. About paying off student loans

    sadiemae1123 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    It's horrible thing to think about, especially for a young person. That's why it's so important to have enough life insurance to cover your debt, so you're loved ones aren't left holding the bag....

  2. Applying to Nurse Practitioner School

    sadiemae1123 replied to Kristilee2105's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Probably the best thing you could do is contact the schools you are interested in and asking them directly. This something that may vary from school to school. I would imagine you would need it...

  3. About paying off student loans

    sadiemae1123 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I've been following this thread for a while and I have a question for the people who find the idea of a government student loan forgiveness program so morally and ethically objectionable. Many of you...

  4. Crazy clinicals instructor doesn't like us using the restroom?

    sadiemae1123 replied to JESSICAAA159's topic in General Students

    This sounds nuts! And shame on those nurses that kept tally for the instructor. I'm pretty sure I would have informed the instructor that I have more important things to do on my shift than to time...

  5. Need some help from my fellow APNs - interviewing for hospitalist position....

    sadiemae1123 replied to traumaRUs's topic in Advanced Practice

    If your job duties are going to be similar to the contracted hospitalists, then you might ask to shadow one of them to get an idea what the job is really going to be like. Since this will be a new...

  6. Can a new APRN only work PT or PRN?

    sadiemae1123 replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Why do you want the DNP? If your interest is primarily in education and research, then it would seem like a PhD would be more

    sadiemae1123 replied to GrnMtn21's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  8. Experience to Become Adult NP

    sadiemae1123 replied to socialworknurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The most valuable experience is probably going to depend on where you want to practice as an Adult/Geriatric NP. Med/surg will give you insight into how to manage acutely ill patients, how to...

  9. Deliberate sabotage?

    sadiemae1123 replied to greenerpastures's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you could offer a better solution to your manager. Approach it in a non accusatory manner. Like "hey, I've noticed some of the rooms are not being restocked properly, can I offer a suggestion"....

  10. Company lost paycheck and getting the runaround.

    sadiemae1123 replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Travel

    OP, I recently had an incident with an employer about a missing check. I let them drag it out for 6 weeks. Finally, I called and told them that this would be the last time I would be contacting them...

  11. NP full scope/independent speculation

  12. Nursing school in TN, but moving to FL after grad. Help please!

    sadiemae1123 replied to kmac3414's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  13. New RN (almost), 401k, and Retirement

    sadiemae1123 replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Nursing

    You should also take into consideration that retirement isn't the only thing someone your age should save for. It's generally recommended for most people to have between 3 to 6 months pay set aside...

  14. Coworker tried converting me on my break

    sadiemae1123 replied to CountryMomma's topic in General Nursing

    My workplace has a fairly clear cut policy. You're allowed to ask, once. As in: you can ask someone on a date - once, or invite them to your church - once. If you're not interested you say no and...

  15. L&D RN Role

    sadiemae1123 replied to traceychan's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The RN is also providing a great deal of education for the patient, especially if she didn't attend any prenatal classes or is a first time mother. The nurse may provide information about stages of...

  16. Is graduating from a top nursing program worth it?

    sadiemae1123 replied to CarpeDiem'15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could ask each of the universities about where recent alumni are working and what kind of assistance is offered after graduation in terms of finding a job. If you're planning on looking for a job...

  17. Nurse school project

    sadiemae1123 replied to satate's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Try local nursing organizations, hospitals, nursing homes, or nursing schools. You'll get much more out of this project if you do the interview in

  18. Should and do fnp's room their pt's

    sadiemae1123 replied to ozarkstumpjump's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What they're asking doesn't make a lot of sense to me. They should already be aware of how many patients are being turned away for same day visits, new patients being scheduled several weeks out, how...

  19. Should and do fnp's room their pt's

    sadiemae1123 replied to ozarkstumpjump's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Is it just rooming the patients? Or, are you also going to be expected to do other tasks usually delegated to ancillary staff like fielding patient phone calls, sending out lab letters, and dealing...

  20. Loans and job

    sadiemae1123 replied to mgandy87's topic in General Nursing

    You might want to look into federal loan repayment programs. If you're willing to work in an underserved area for a specified time then they will give you money towards your loan

  21. Preceptor needed!!! Help!!!

    sadiemae1123 replied to RCHANDLER's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What have you tried so far? The local NP association can be a good place to start. Your school may also have a list of providers in your area that have been preceptors in the past. I also had some...

    sadiemae1123 replied to HopelessinBHM's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Depending on the type of loan you have you may be eligible for a deferral, or at least a reduction in your monthly payment. You should contact the loan agency to find out. Best of luck in the job...

  23. family issues

    sadiemae1123 replied to canoehead's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Canoehead, I can't imagine what you are going through. You have my sympathies. If you truly have no one to talk with about this with amongst family or friends then I would strongly suggest that you...

  24. Is a FNP working for a Psychiatrist legal ??

    sadiemae1123 replied to lmonet82's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It may depend on what your role will be at the facility. I currently work in a psych hospital as an FNP, but strictly as a primary care provider, caring for chronic issues such as diabetes or acute...

  25. Terrible day at clinicals

    sadiemae1123 replied to kkfrn427's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    When I was in school we always did a preceptor and site evaluation at the end of clinicals. If I were you I would make sure my evaluation reflects how you were treated that day. Your school needs to...
