1. Any advice about new grad NP NHSC positions?

   JenNurse1972 replied to JenNurse1972's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Thank you very much. I appreciate the information. I think I've been stressing with needing to decide now about extending my travel assignment or picking another assignment. Either thing will "lock"...

2. Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome

   JenNurse1972 replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

   I agree. It is different, it simply has similar symptoms (hyperemesis). The same could be said for Hyperemesis gravidarium though. I've had cyclic vomiting in the past with gastroparesis (but the...

3. DNP student with regrets?

   JenNurse1972 replied to BigBluemadness's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I only meant the MSN date for schools you might be interested in. From a financial standpoint. Since you are getting your education payed for now, I didn't want you to get stuck with only private...

4. Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome

   JenNurse1972 replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

   Agreed. Cyclic Vomiting is the diagnosis I have scene. In this case it's cyclic vomiting related to long term marijuana use (I am working in a legalized state). I don't think Cannabinoid...

5. Need Advice! Experienced nurse, wants to travel, probably needs to tweak skills!

   JenNurse1972 replied to exp626's topic in Travel

   Agreed on Parallon. Not a real travel agency. More like a nationwide registry for HCA. Understatement to say they have an agenda to staff only HCA and not make their travelers aware of good non HCA...

6. Need Advice! Experienced nurse, wants to travel, probably needs to tweak skills!

   JenNurse1972 replied to exp626's topic in Travel

   I say take the plunge now! You have incredible ICU experience. So travel as an ICU nurse. You will be more valuable with your recent ICU experience than if you stopped doing that and went to Med...

7. Travel as ER nurse? Looking for advice and guidance

   JenNurse1972 replied to Cpf9's topic in Travel

   I say go for the travel experience. You aren't happy at your current job and you want an adventure. I've been an ED nurse for a long time and trust me, do not worry about the Trauma Center. Take...

8. Online ACLS and NRP course

   JenNurse1972 replied to altomga's topic in Travel

   I didn't see NRP on that site (they do have PALS). Just make sure you have a legit AHA logo on the website. (Or call children's hospital locally and ask) Here is one link. The last time I took NRP...

    There is a Part 1 and a Part 2. You will need to pay for Part 1 and complete it online, then print the completion certificate. Part 2 skills providers can be found through the AHA website. I...

11. verbal contract with American Mobile Nursing

    JenNurse1972 replied to rufftammy's topic in Travel

    That $250 travel is not far off from other companies. Some quote $500, but that can be going to the next assignment. It would be the same with American Mobile if you took another assignment. (Both...

12. Trustaff vs American Mobile

    JenNurse1972 replied to sarap227's topic in Travel

    I'm with an American Mobile company. I wouldn't say the pay rate is great, but it's the norm in the LA area. There are several travel nurses from different companies at the same hospital and almost...

13. Financial Aid

    JenNurse1972 replied to scarykarrey's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree 100%. You can accept while you pursue the other state school. I do not think this is unethical since they have been sketchy about the FA. If they come through with their end of the FA,...

14. DNP student with regrets?

    JenNurse1972 replied to BigBluemadness's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I suggest you research the MSN NP end date in the program you might attend. Some schools aren't offering it currently. I know the date has been pushed back a couple of times, but I thought it was...

15. Really dissapointed in myself

    JenNurse1972 replied to megank5183's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Stop beating yourself up. Getting a B is no big deal. NP schools are tough and I don't know any working nurse who has gotten a 4.0. If this helps, I had a 3.9 for my first Masters. I worked sooooo...
