  1. MUSC PhD Program - Fall 2018

    I'll call for sure on Friday. I'll update first thing in the morning. EEEEKKK
  2. MUSC PhD Program - Fall 2018

    Are you calling the admissions department or nursing department? Will you call Friday again?
  3. MUSC PhD Program - Fall 2018

    Didn't they say they would notify mid March for the DNP program?
  4. I had a manager swear in an interview with me and to this day she's still one of my favorite managers. I was very startled and I didn't know how to react, but I later learned that is how she is and she doesn't change in most environments.
  5. After Charlottesville we saw reporting on hate and terrorist groups participating in that event on all major news channels, they were not promoting their agenda, which is what this nurse witnessed. Those are two different things and several nurses o...
  6. You think a video talking about killing the president and speaking hate language about Jews is readily available on public TV? What TV do you watch? I think you are confusing video about not liking the president or questioning the president with th...
  7. I actually posted immediately below her on page five answering this question, but I'll post again. As mandatory reporters she should report to her state Child Welfare Agency. Spankedinpittsburgh stated that was a video you can watch on major news s...
  8. This response seriously scares me.
  9. Simulation Woes and Anxiety Nursing Student

    Simulations can be wonderful or just plain suck. It really depends on the day. Nursing is a science 100%, the sim labs costs millions of dollars and are extremely technical. I'm not sure why you have to announce you are going to do the 6 Rights be...
  10. Actually the First Amendment does not let you say "anything" you want. You cannot yell "Fire" in a movie theater, or other things that could cause harm. The First Amendment is greatly misunderstood. I have read many comments on this post that refl...
  11. Finally passed NCLEX on my 4th try. All Glory and Honor to God!!

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Best day huh? Go celebrate! You deserve it.
  12. Undecided on which way to go

    I'm confused why your GPA would be lower at a 4 year college vs a 2 year college if you have the same classes and statistics, but it's early so maybe my brain hasn't turned on yet. I think more info is needed to answer this question: how far along a...
  13. I would try posting this in the Georgia section, someone might have a better idea of a local school. If you have a masters I would recommend a direct-entry MSN program. I would search for a program like that. Good luck.
  14. Help with care plan

    Not all nursing is revolved around acute care and acute care diagnoses; this is an example of primary prevention. Think of this as a well child visit, so the assumption is the child is well with no known illnesses. "Using the nursing process, descr...
  15. I say follow your gut. Sometimes you need to prove to yourself you can do something versus actually doing it. Nursing school is brutal with kids ( I did it with three) and if you are not 100% sure you want it, it will be torture.
  16. MSN psychotherapy/mental health

    That's not really the focus of of a PMHNP. The psych field has clinical staff to cover therapy, LMFT, LPC, and social workers. Then the MD's and nurses cover the medical aspect of care. Yes a nurse can conduct therapy, but our training is not gear...
  17. MSN Public Health

    Have you reached out to the nurses at the county health department? Nurse supervisors at school district? I know the director has to have an MSN right??? I hope so in large city. Look for public health clinics that treat HIV, homeless, refugees or...
  18. MUSC PhD Program - Fall 2018

    I interviewed this week as well for the PhD program and I was told they had to make their decision by April 5h, and we should hear by Mid April. Good luck to you!
  19. At our hospital we do not use physical or chemical restraints. A 30 year plus psych nurse told me she was shocked when they introduced the idea of doing away with restraints because they were so common place "back in the day." But now it's just not ...
  20. Experienced Viewpoint Please?

    I don't believe ANY program will prepare you for NCLEX. Each school has their own NCLEX passage rates and you should pay attention to those, that will give you a good clue as to how good a program is. If you already have a degree my advice would be...
  21. College selection for doctoral program

    I also considered Mizzou, University of Kansas, and MUSC-all online, accredited, and brick and mortar. I will find out next month if I am accepted fingers crossed! I would recommend finding a school with faculty who specialize with your research in...
  22. Another Nurse on Nurse hostility story

    You don't have the right to refuse an RN to RN report. That's above your pay-grade. Settle down. You have the right to follow protocol and consult YOUR TEAM. Look you're upset because your manager and honestly the other RN with 2 years experience...
  23. Staff Retention Policies

    10-15 years is way to long of a goal. Start with shorter incentives. Someone already mentioned it, staffing ratios..a charge nurse who has a decreased load...Things that matter. If a hospital looked at big picture financially instead of the quarte...
  24. And Your Communication Style is....

    I cannot stand passive aggressive or passive communicators. We're adults and I feel people should be able to say what they need to say in a professional/respectful way and people should be able to receive it. Aggressive communicators are nothing mo...
  25. Tell me about high school nursing

    I did one week in HS and . But someone mentioned no recess and it does make you reconsider.
