  1. I Hope No One Hires You

    HornsRN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Ever work in CA as a nurse? The law enforced patient to nurse ratios, now that's one thing the state got right (there aren't many)! Because of the strict laws they maintain a larger float pool and...

  2. I Hope No One Hires You

    HornsRN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    No problem, I am glad that I did not offend, it certainly is not my desire to do so. You are right about your online forum observation (not just nursing ones, check out SDN lol). I recently heard it...

  3. I Hope No One Hires You

    HornsRN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Is it wrong? No. Perhaps I should reword it. IF you are person, merely seeking a "stable job" and you think that nursing is the "stable job" for you then you MIGHT be very surprised on that it is a...

  4. I Hope No One Hires You

    HornsRN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    To those wondering why the revolving door with some nurses - Yahoo, Fox news, CNN, et all constantly have top 273 jobs that are stable and easy to get (or whatever adjective they prefer) and Nursing...

  5. new grad NP passed ANCC, & just learned program did not receive accreditation

    HornsRN replied to mag2014's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes precisely, my "rant" as you call it. I also appreciate the use of the word "rant" to describe my reaction. verb (used without object)1.to speak or declaim extravagantly or violently; talk in a...

  7. Off the wall question about NPs

    HornsRN posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    I have a serious question to ask and I hope people will take it the right way. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT I AM IN NO WAY KNOCKING OR DENIGRATING THIS SITE NOR THE POSTERS HERE. Hopefully I have prefaced...

  10. Off the wall question about NPs

    HornsRN replied to HornsRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Thanks, too be fair, I am a prospective NP student, in that I am applying to programs. However, my mind and what interests me is much further down the road, hence my reasons for starting this thread....

  11. Off the wall question about NPs

    HornsRN replied to HornsRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yeh I agree with ya for the most part (although I wouldn't use the word drivel, just not interested in it heh). The lack of interest in challenging discussion disappoints me. And SDN? Ugh, no thx....

  12. Off the wall question about NPs

    HornsRN replied to HornsRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I believe that AN does support it. I just think that the large number of new grads and hopefuls are of a different mindset from me, and some others apparently. It is a weird part of nursing that I...

  13. new grad NP passed ANCC, & just learned program did not receive accreditation

    HornsRN replied to mag2014's topic in Advanced Practice

    Since you are not quoting people in your responses I have no idea who you feel is "chastising" you. What I will say is I hope you are able to get your degree conferred and your license granted. I...

  14. new grad NP passed ANCC, & just learned program did not receive accreditation

    HornsRN replied to mag2014's topic in Advanced Practice

    how is this possible? did the school lose accreditation during your attendance or did they not have it before you started? Surely you didnt attend a program that wasn't

  15. Wanting to start the DNP path

    HornsRN posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    So I have recently decided to pursue an advanced degree specifically a DNP degree in a FNP track so that I have the most options. I have varied interests including ICU/ER, peds, surgery so it is...

  16. Wanting to start the DNP path

    HornsRN replied to HornsRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    They don't. I am also considering MSN programs now just to open my options. Honesty I just wish I could be in South Bama's Emergency program. The dual FNP/ANP cert is really appealing to me as I am...

  17. South University FNP MSN program???

    HornsRN replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Makes sense as this is usually how the world works (heck its how I got my current job). I have removed South from my list of schools to apply too. I am not willing to risk whatever small chance...

  18. Wanting to start the DNP path

    HornsRN replied to HornsRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Well I have narrowed my list down to : froniter, south alabama, south indiana, Texas Tech, Clarkson, U of cinci. Hopefully one of these will have me and that willl be

  19. South University FNP MSN program???

    HornsRN replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I wasn't asking about education quality, that can be good or bed anywhere in any setting. I was more concerned with the perception from employers as there is somewhat of a bias (to varying degrees)...

  20. South University

    HornsRN replied to JennabeanRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yuck. I commented on South in a more current thread that I found after this one but my concerns centered around the fact that they are For Profit. For profits schools are scorned in other avenues of...

  21. AANP position on NP education and post-grad training

    HornsRN replied to Corey Narry's topic in Advanced Practice

    Well I know the PAs wouldn't be thrilled about it. I wonder about the ability to further education post program via residency as well. It is not a bad

  22. South University FNP MSN program???

    HornsRN replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Interesting thread, I have read nearly the whole thing. It sounds like overwhelmingly positive responses, although the single negative poster points out some pretty stark info that is quite...

  23. South University

    HornsRN replied to JennabeanRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hey yall, I have recently requested more info on the MSN-FNP program and spoke directly with a rep from the school. I asked all the typical questions and he seemed very personable and interested in...

  25. AANP position on NP education and post-grad training

    HornsRN replied to Corey Narry's topic in Advanced Practice

    Ive always thought nursing needed more anatomy/physiology. I lost count how many times my teachers in my BSN program said,"this is just anatomy so we will
