  1. Which NP Program would you choose?

    NurseNelly24 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So I’m actively applying to schools to pursue a career as an ACNP. A little background, I have years of ER/trauma experience and I’m currently in the ICU as well; married, 5 month old baby, and...

  8. CEN EXAM - HELP!

    NurseNelly24 replied to carlowellnj's topic in Emergency

    Just passed my CEN this week and concur with the above statements. The ENA review questions book is what I basically used in the last 3 weeks of studying. End up doing 750 questions. Whatever I...

  10. What is up with the level of entitlement?

    NurseNelly24 replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

    There are too many dynamics with the modern “new grad nurse” to paint such a generalization. There are the traditional, straight from HS to college, 22 year old new graduate nurses with no...

  12. Covering 1:1’s in the ER

    NurseNelly24 replied to Ryan William's topic in Emergency

    Agreed. I’ve noticed over the years that management, out of the entire “web” are the ones that are least likely to take risks and make changes for improvement the unit. You could hit them with...

  13. Covering 1:1’s in the ER

    NurseNelly24 replied to Ryan William's topic in Emergency

    This sounds like something you def want to approach management about. Is there a committee within your unit to discuss some of the problems with staffing and behavioral health pts? Just something to...

    I attended the Virtual Open House last week and here's a few highlights I was able to grasp from the session (btw it was informative, and Dr. Greco seems extremely kind, welcoming, and passionate...

  15. New grad from online RN program with ZERO CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

    NurseNelly24 replied to angel1312's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly, COVID has only been prevalent for approximately one year. It wasn’t until March, that we started seriously wearing masks and taking precautions. So my question is what were they doing...

  16. New grad from online RN program with ZERO CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

    NurseNelly24 replied to angel1312's topic in General Nursing

    I know COVID hit an all, but I’m just curious if you’re in an ADN or BSN program. Either way, I’m quite shocked you went through an ENTIRE program with no hospital clinicals. I mean if...

  17. New grad from online RN program with ZERO CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

    NurseNelly24 replied to angel1312's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely. It seems like hospitals—hospital management of course—are determining our scope of practice too. To think that hospitals have to make up for what most nursing schools are not doing is...

  18. COVID-Positive Nurses Working: Irresponsible or Smart?

    NurseNelly24 replied to J.Adderton's topic in Disaster Preparation

    1000% agree. Public health goes hand in hand with politics. So if our country's leaders didn't take the virus seriously, how do we expect the citizens to do the same. There's people who to this day...

  19. How soon can we expect to see cases go down now that Biden is president?

    NurseNelly24 replied to DesiDani's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    It’s hard to say what will happen when the current administration is refusing to concede, and therefore delaying the process of transition for the new administration. In previous...

  20. Is ICU worth the stress?

    NurseNelly24 replied to commitmentphobe's topic in Critical Care

    It's worth trying if you really want to explore it and see what it's really about. If you have a good relationship with your current employer, you can either 1) go per diem, so you maintain your...

  21. COVID-Positive Nurses Working: Irresponsible or Smart?

    NurseNelly24 replied to J.Adderton's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don’t see how it’s possible that hospitals will implement visitor restrictions, institute social distance practices, tell people to stay home, yet the very factor that could potentiate increased...

  22. COVID-Positive Nurses Working: Irresponsible or Smart?

    NurseNelly24 replied to J.Adderton's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I see what you mean but even if a nurse is COVID++ and is able to take care of patients in the same cohort, it doesn’t mean it reduces her risk of spreading it to her colleagues. The nurses station,...

  23. Hofstra 2021 CRNA

    NurseNelly24 replied to RNtoSRNA1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey! Hofstra has a pretty strong ACNP program, so I see good things with this combined DNP program. The only thing I’m curious is what is the goal of the combined degree. Is there...

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

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

    This thread was chaos from the beginning. I hope that the advice was helpful to you as a nurse but I also hope it was eye-opening in the nuances of cultural sensitivity. Either way, this thread should...

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

    What I'm not going to do is entertain you and your discriminatory views towards people from different cultures and nationalities. The beauty of American culture is that it is a conglomerate of...
