Yellownurse15 MSN, RN

I will be sure to ask questions! And thanks for offering your support!

Welcome to dialysis! So far my experience is going good overall. I just finished my 4th week of training. I’m in a outpatient chronic hemodialysis center that has 43 chairs and runs 3 shifts Monday, Wednesday, Friday. My training consists of “class” ...

Hello, I know it’s been a while since you’ve made this post, but I’m curious as to which decision you made since I’m in the same situation. I just finished my MSN in Leadership and I’m torn between getting a DNP in leadership or AGPCNP.

Agreed!

You’re welcome! I’m not an adrenaline junkie either so the primary care setting is great for me. I recently accepted a dialysis job to try something new and because the schedule is 3-4 days/week vs 5 like primary care. I hope you get the job and good...

When I worked in primary care, my title was Triage RN. I worked at a clinic that served adults and pediatrics. I had my own office. When patients called and hit the option for nurse, it came to my extension. I did phone triage and walk in triage. I h...

I hope WGU starts a DNP program soon. Or at least a post masters certificate for the FNP program.

I appreciate this!

Congrats! I remember seeing that you were interested in dialysis too! I’m glad you decided to take the leap! I don’t start until May 3 but I’ve already accepted the position and the ppw has been started. We can definitely share experiences! Please ke...

I’ll be in an outpatient setting working 4 days a week, 10hr shifts.

I’m in the same position. I’ve been a nurse 4 years and can’t seem to find my niche. I read the threads on here about dialysis and when a position came open at a local clinic I applied. I haven’t started yet but I’m excited! Let us know if you decide...

Thank you so much! I hope I enjoy dialysis nursing and I can do this for a while!

From my understanding, chronic refers to working in the outpatient clinic and acute refers to performing dialysis treatments in the hospital setting. People that work acute usually have to work on call at times. Someone else can add or correct me if ...

Yes, I've checked my job description and it's very vague. There are no designated supervisors on evening/night shift so there isn't anyone to do shift change with. It's only the DON, SDC, MDS, and me as far as RN's. The DON and SDC are mostly doing a...

I’m new to LTC and so far I enjoy it, but the training (or lack there of) is frustrating. I’m the day shift supervisor and I was told what I would be responsible for but I have to figure things out on my own. This is my first time working in LTC (I c...

I've been a nurse 3 years as well and majority of my experience is non hospital. I've done outpatient wound care, triage nursing at a primary care clinic/community clinic, and I'm currently doing public health as a communicable disease nurse/TB nurse...

I’m not a student but I’m interested in their MSN-DNP program. I would like some insight as well!

Overall I like the leadership program. Initially when starting nursing school I wanted to go to FNP school. But over time, that’s changed. Part of me still wants to do NP, but I can see myself more in administration. I don’t regret going this route b...

It looks you can go for the BSN- MSN program. For those of us that will have MSN already, we have to wait for more details.

Not sure. You may have to check their website for locations but it’s an online school. I’m part of WGU North Carolina.

I was torn between going back to school for FNP vs Leadership and Management. I ultimately chose Leadership. I've been a nurse 3 years, most of that in outpatient care. Initially I wanted to become a provider, but after working in primary care and wo...

Hello, I've never worked in LTC. I've read so many horrible things about this area of nursing. I will be relocating in a few months and there are several LTC jobs available, both skilled nursing homes/rehab and retirement community. Is there much dif...

Thanks! I'm currently working in public health (which I love) but I was thinking about getting a PRN position somewhere to keep up with nursing skills.

I'm currently getting my MSN in Nursing Leadership and Management since I eventually want to end up in leadership. I previously minored in public health with another degree (exercise science). I plan to get the CPH certification (certifed in public h...

I'm sure not all LTC facilities are bad. I've never worked in LTC and even after initially putting up this post, part of me still wants to give LTC a shot (even if it's just PRN). When asking fellow nurses about LTC, I keep hearing more bad than good...
