  1. Bullied at work, and the DON won't do anything about it. (venting)

    NurseNelly24 replied to NewRN'16's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely

  2. Bullied at work, and the DON won't do anything about it. (venting)

    NurseNelly24 replied to NewRN'16's topic in General Nursing

    Not to stir the pot, But I'm kind of shocked about the number of responses on this post targeting nurses from different ethnicities (Haitian? I guess because they speak Creole, Fillipinos etc.)...

  3. Driving 1.5 hrs (one way) to work. Good idea?

    NurseNelly24 replied to NewRN_SW's topic in General Nursing

    Long commutes get old. I took on a 2nd position to get ICU experience and the commute was 1 hour 10 minutes. Thought it wouldn’t be bad until I started doing it and dreaded a long commute after a 8...

  4. Amazing and Affordable MSN/DNP programs

    NurseNelly24 replied to aka640's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I also live in CT and I plan on applying to UConn s AGACNP program for next year. One I thing to tell you though is that the MSN/DNP programs are now FULLY ONLINE with only a few in-campus...

  5. Connecticut RN's

    NurseNelly24 replied to ADNRN2016's topic in General Nursing

    Key tip: the further you go up in CT, the lower the pay. It also depends on if the hospital is a part of a health system...so they try to make the RN pay similar on a broad scale. I’ve...

  6. What is your "favorite" procedure?

    NurseNelly24 replied to NewRN'16's topic in General Nursing

    Absolute favorite tasks: IV insertion/phlebotomy, Accessing Ports, PICC dressing changes (especially when they’re super dirty or bloody), and Assisting in Intubation. Least favorite: inserting NGT...

  7. UCONN MSN NP Programs...now 100% online?

    NurseNelly24 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I recently emailed the program director of UConn's MSN/NP programs and was told that the MSN programs are now 100% online. Before, classes were held once a week or hybrid level. I'm looking into...

  8. Have you noticed a better quality of life going from full time to part time?

    NurseNelly24 replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in General Nursing

    I've been part time (on paper) for the past 3 years at it was the BEST decision I had ever made. There was only a slight change in benefits, but otherwise no other issues. I have way more flexibility...

  9. Orientation As A Semi-Experienced Nurse is Aggravating

    NurseNelly24 replied to AlmostThere19's topic in General Nursing

    I’ve had the same experience many times. I’m the type of person that eventually likes to find their rhythm on how to do things without having to do things the exact way my preceptor does. Not to...

    NurseNelly24 posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hello, I’d like to get any feedback from students or alumni who are currently attending Hofstra University or Pace University’s Acute Care NP programs. I’ve attended both info sessions last...

  11. Stepdown or PACU for pre-ACNP school experience

    NurseNelly24 posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Hello all, So I've been a nurse for about 5 years, worked in ER, Tele, Ambulatory PACU, etc. I'm in the middle of interviewing for per-diem positions (in addition to my part-time job in the ER) and I...

  12. Stepdown or PACU for pre-ACNP school experience

    NurseNelly24 replied to NurseNelly24's topic in Advanced Practice

    I appreciate your answer, so i don’t want you to take offense. It’s just that right now it wouldn’t be possible for me to do ICU full time because my current position pays more and paying my...

  13. Stepdown or PACU for pre-ACNP school experience

    NurseNelly24 replied to NurseNelly24's topic in Advanced Practice

    I can see myself pursuing an ICU job at some while I’m in the program, but I also personally don’t have much of a desire to work in an ICU setting as an NP. Being a Hospitalist in IM is end goal....

  14. Stepdown or PACU for pre-ACNP school experience

    NurseNelly24 replied to NurseNelly24's topic in Advanced Practice

    Thank you for this perspective! I really never thought of it like that regarding taking care of critical patients that are waking up from anesthesia v multiorgan dysfunction. I’m pretty confident...

  16. Online Nursing Schools vs Traditional Schools

    NurseNelly24 replied to canwil2082's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in a B&M school for my BSN and I personally don't see the difference in terms of credibility of online or traditional programs...as long as they are accredited. I've always said the only...

    Hey I understand exactly how you feel. I gor frustrated with Kaplan plenty of times (hence what led me to probably using other books) I didnt find the Kaplan course review book to be helpful but I did...

    NurseNelly24 replied to NurseNelly24's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Dcmom I think the video content was only helpful when you went along with the book. The online presenters (I guess for time sakes) gave a general, very quick overview of the conditions and...
