  1. I have 6 years experience and one day I was getting report from a new grad on orientation with a night nurse that has only a year of experience. What really irked me was the fact she left the new...
  2. Wilkes PMHNP 2020

    It looks like the sections of the courses are 15 students each. That seems promising that they value small class size. One other question: are u all planning on buying hard copies of the books or...
  3. Wilkes PMHNP 2020

    Hi! Has anyone signed up for classes yet? I logged in and there was not much in terms of instructions but I found the registration section and picked the 2 classes we are starting with. I...
  4. Talked down to by older nurse

    I don’t think there is anything inherently “wrong” with what you did. Alot was going on and you picked up on the fact that no one was paying her much attention and THIS was probably making her...
  5. Before I decided to pursue my NP, I had started studying for the PCCN. At that time I think I was still trying to convince myself that I was happy in my bedside role. It all fizzled out during a...
  6. Liability issues

    And you take rumors that make zero sense at face value? This makes no sense. Patients that are determined to commit suicide they will do so. If a practitioner follows the standard of care they will...
  7. I think I'm going to be let go from Orientation :((

    Your manager was most likely thinking about other things, or maybe he just told your preceptor about the extension and was acting a little awkward. Its unlikely that he did that because he is planning...
  8. Your teacher sounds like a pain in the a$&! I just reworded it because “not charted” could suggest that it was done but not documented, or that the record is incomplete. So instead of using a...
  9. What’s the issue? Say No data
  10. New nurse in ICU

    Im so sorry you have gone through this. From your story, my own, and all the ones i have read, what is clear to me is that each nurse will get ENTIRELY different experiences, support, opportunities,...

    Hi all, i have paid my deposit and am told I will get a packet in November regarding classes etc. i cant wait. I am wondering for the MSN part, what the first classes
  12. Wilkes PMHNP 2020

    Hi, I was accepted too! Congrats!!! I am looking forward to starting the next chapter in this nursing journey! I was not expecting it this
  13. Cardiac meds

    Yes I would give it. I advise you learn about what these drugs actually do. It seems you are unclear on this. Amiodarone controls rhythm, and is not a rate control drug. It also has negligible affect...
  14. Wilkes PMHNP 2020

    Hi, are you going for the bsn to MSN? I just realized the OP applied for the POST-masters cert program, and that is why the timeline is earlier. I applied for the regular MSN also, so I hope we hear...
  15. Questionable actions that make you go hmm?

    I love this one! You are basically waiting for them to round so you can update them on something with the patient only to find their progress note randomly pops up in the chart.
  16. Clinical

    The ONLY person who can “fail” the first day is the instructor. So when she says you failed, she should more accurately say, “I failed”. I hope its gotten better for you, and i realize my...
  17. I think remember it saying non-traffic related convictions. Go to your board website and look. There will be a section saying what types of crimes you have to report. You should be
  18. New Onset Afib

    Telemetry is initially warranted on ALL new onset a fib until treatment plan can be made.
  19. Don’t know which position to take...

    Both jobs should put you in a good position to go to ICU. I would not take a job soley based on the job will take after this one. You have to spend a good portion of your adult day to day life there....
  20. Resume Review

    This was hands-down the most invaluable resource for me when applying for new grad
  21. UCCS FNP Program Fall 2019

    I got an email. I applied only to this program. But I think there are a few other options for the fall that still can be applied to: frontier, and maybe eku? I am gonna look into USA
  22. UCCS FNP Program Fall 2019

    I found out that I did not get in, and I emailed them and was told that it was becaise they are no longer accepting California residents! A friend of mine who also applied got the same response. I am...
  23. No narcotic? No problem! Tonight’s accidental med pocket, guifenisen. Oops. I better get back in my car, return to work and return it in the anonymous return bin, then formally write myself up for...

    Good to know! The wait is killing
  25. UCCS FNP Program Fall 2019

    Hi, I applied to the Fall 2019 PMHNP program and check my email daily but have not heard back yet. The last email I received was the one stating they had all needed materials. Just wondering if anyone...
