    scoope23 replied to KnoxvilleNurse95's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks so much for your response! I’m excited about starting the program! I have 9-5 type hours now instead of working my usual 3 12hr/shifts per week. I know time management is going to be key! How...

    scoope23 replied to MaridithRN's topic in General Nursing

  5. Chamberlain online RN to BSN review

    scoope23 replied to Shelly202's topic in Chamberlain College

    First off, congrats on your new job. I definitely think the program is doable for working nurses. I only had to do the nursing courses, since I completed the pre-reqs already when I did my first...

    scoope23 replied to KZE15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Heather, First off, congrats on your acceptance to the DNP program! That's great! I would recommend you apply for the scholarship even if your EFC is not 0. I believe they look at your...

  7. Almost fired for med error

    scoope23 replied to mellybelly27's topic in Emergency

    My sentiments exactly! Who would want to report med errors under fear of this type of retaliation. Poor environment to learn from

  8. Forced to resign after 7 weeks

    scoope23 replied to porkdumpling's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Like many others have suggested, I would leave the position off your resume and not bring it up during any future interviews. You never completed orientation or even your probationary period, so...

  9. New RN, looking ahead; MPH?

    scoope23 replied to RNuninformed's topic in Public, Community Health

    I understand! Nursing was a second career for me and just like a previous poster said, I received significantly more calls back after I finished my BSN than when I got my

  10. New RN, looking ahead; MPH?

    scoope23 replied to RNuninformed's topic in Public, Community Health

    I would suggest getting the BSN first because you can get a variety of public health jobs with a nursing background. The MPH by itself is not as marketable and the earning potential will significantly...

  11. How do you sign your credentials?

    scoope23 replied to heather717's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My full credentials are only put on my email signature. If I have to sign or initial something at work, I usually leave out the RN or BSN part unless it's necessary to include. I have a non-nursing...

  12. Do grades have an impact after you've graduated from nursing school?

    scoope23 replied to gyp13sy's topic in General Students

  13. RN to NP education. How did you manage it?

    scoope23 replied to Nurse2B in TN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Are you interested in going back into public health? I did my MPH before nursing school too and you're right... Opportunities will certainly open up to you once you're done- no matter the direction...

  14. What do you hate most about your job?

    scoope23 replied to PancakeSaturdays's topic in General Nursing

    Constant short staffing, mandatory on call, flex scheduling where you have to work a certain percentage of day and night shifts in a 6 week period. I enjoy my job but it gets challenging with...

  15. EMR learning curve

    scoope23 replied to lavenderskies's topic in General Nursing

    I love using Epic. I find the version that we use to be very user friendly. It's like a giant excel spreadsheet. My facility is in the process of transitioning to Epic. However, I've used this system...

  16. What to do after an ADN. Completing BSN. Need your advice

    scoope23 replied to artha's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  17. Nursing pay

    scoope23 replied to Zooey72's topic in General Students

  18. Should I try becoming a nurse again?

    scoope23 replied to Liz92's topic in Nursing Career

    I got my BS in Community Health before I did nursing so I completely understand the lack of job prospects with that degree alone. If you decide to pursue nursing again, you won't have to do med surg...

  19. Nursing pay

    scoope23 replied to Zooey72's topic in General Students

    She may just work part

  20. IV Rules at your Facility

    scoope23 replied to applesxoranges's topic in General Nursing

    Any patient going for a test with contrast needs to have a 20 or larger in the AC. We used to have to change out IVs after 96 hours but that policy has now changed and we can keep them in as long as...

  21. Do any of you think about going to med school?

    scoope23 replied to RN to be soon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As a former athlete, I had contemplated on applying for a doctorate program in PT, but my path led elsewhere. I have no regrets with

  22. Male graduate and pinning

    scoope23 replied to Rn 1979's topic in Men in Nursing

    I had prior degrees as well before nursing school, so I went to pinning and skipped out on the graduation ceremony. I have no regrets. In my opinion, the real time to celebrate is after passing boards...

  25. Would a person like me have a chance to finish the nursing program?

    scoope23 replied to lyudmila777's topic in General Students

    What we think shouldn't matter. If you don't believe you do, nothing we say will change the outcome. Not trying to sound mean, but If someone can talk you into believing in yourself, then someone else...
