Yellownurse15 MSN, RN

I understand how the OP feels. I hated being the hospital, even when I was doing clinical for school. I always felt rushed and overwhelmed. I only went because I was told to get a year of med sure experience. But I left after the 6 months. I’ve work ...

Thank you! I’ll definitely look into shadowing.

Thank you so much! The Big Two are the only option besides corrections nephrology. I’ll definitely see about shadowing in a clinic.

That makes sense, thanks!

Thank you so much for your detailed response! You've definitely given me something to think about. Part of me is drawn to LTC because of the versatility and being able to see so many different things. But the amount of pts to be responsible for is sc...

I am looking for an environment that has advancement opportunities. I want a position where I can continue to use nursing skills and eventually end up in leadership.

Thanks for responding! It’s sad that work conditions in LTC are so bad! I feel bad for the people that call these places home. What area of nursing do you work now?

Thank you for your response! I've been leaning toward dialysis, although I've heard terrible things about it too. I know each specialty has pros and cons though. The nurse/patient ratio in LTC scares me. The hours with dialysis are long and managemen...

Thank you! ?

Thank you so much for your detailed reply! I will be relocating in a few months and I see so many dialysis positions available in outpatient clinics. I'm really considering trying it out. I worked at an outpatient wound center for a year and we saw t...

I'm in NC. I see a lot of job openings for dialysis, both Davita and Fresenius. I'm getting my MSN in Leadership and Management. If I decide to try dialysis, hopefully there would be advancement opportunities within the company. Thanks for your respo...

Hello everyone! My start date for the BSN-MSN Leadership and Management program at WGU is July 1st. Is there anyone else starting the program in July? If so, I would love to connect!

I'm good, hope you are! I'm almost ready to submit my first paper. Keep us updated on your progress in the program. Also, join the Facebook group if you haven't already. It's a great place to ask questions to other students that have already taken cl...

Thank you! I've been looking up "the big 2" online and they seem similar. Both have clinics in the area where I will be relocating. Does it take long for advancement in dialysis?

Ok thank you for responding! I will be relocating to a small town at the end of the year. My choices are slim-home health, dialysis, and LTC. I don't have experience in any of these areas. Home health is my last choice. So i guess it's between LTC an...

How is going so far?

I'm thinking of trying dialysis too. Most of my experience is outpatient clinic (wound care then community health/primary care). Did either of you switch to dialysis? If so, how do you like it?

Ok, sounds good!

Would you like to exchange info?

Congrats! Do you know if the core classes are the same? We can keep in touch if you’d like!

Awesome! If you want to connect and exchange email let me know!

I'm getting ready to start a new grad med-surg academy in 2 weeks. I'm not sure what type of unit to apply for once orientation is complete. Med-surg is so broad. Is there a certain unit that's best for new grads? Or does it matter? Thanks!

I can't find the FB group either!

Will our uniforms be shipped to the school or to us? I forgot what the representative said

I live in Greensboro about 20 min from the campus
