    Vanderbilt MSN 2018

    c27_AEMT replied to lucy1244's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Would anyone be willing to PM me and talk to me about Vandy for NP? I am planning on pursuing my NP and thinking about using my GI bill. I have my BSN now and a bit of experience. I would love to...

    TCRN

    c27_AEMT replied to bafelly's topic in Emergency

    Well, I scheduled the test for about 6 weeks from the TCRN review course so I probably don't have time for another course. I will look into their review materials though and hopefully that will be...

    How to call a provider at 3 am

    c27_AEMT replied to ZenRN181's topic in General Nursing

    I will use text pages for things like med requests or anything straightforward and leave my number so they can call with more questions. That is typically easier for both of us. I am not sure how it...

    I am with guy in babyland. I work in a large ER and have an iphone to communicate with er people (or will go find them) but when i work in our part of the ED with boarders or have boarded patients in...

    I need help please...failed rn nclex 4 times

    c27_AEMT replied to Nurse889's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used ATI in school, the NCLEX prep app (which I really liked), and NRSNG the website. I studied for about a month but am not the best at studying. I am an exceedingly good test taker and good at...

    Experienced Viewpoint Please?

    c27_AEMT replied to bitter_betsy's topic in General Students

    Just my thoughts, as I was in your shoes not too long ago. I went with an ASN. It was cheaper, I would be an RN sooner, the NCLEX pass rate was near 100%, and the clinical placements were great for...

    TCRN

    c27_AEMT replied to bafelly's topic in Emergency

    I am typically one to over prepare. Do you think the Solheim pocket practice (all four) and review course, TNCC and a ATLS audit within the year (with extra review of the books) are sufficient to...

    Greener grass?

    c27_AEMT posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am finding myself somewhat frustrated with my pay as an RN. My total compensation is very good, I feel but due to my overall financial situation (pre-nursing school student loans), I am considering...

    Greener grass?

    c27_AEMT replied to c27_AEMT's topic in General Nursing

    MrNurse(x2) thanks for the advice. That really makes sense and as someone coming to nursing in their 30s, is a little tough to grasp at times. I honestly love what I do most days but they do work us...

    Greener grass?

    c27_AEMT replied to c27_AEMT's topic in General Nursing

    AceOfHearts The shifts I pick up are time and a half at their base rate befor shift diff or actual overtime so they are around the same pay or a little more than I would get from other organizations...

    Greener grass?

    c27_AEMT replied to c27_AEMT's topic in General Nursing

    Good points KelRN215. My friend who is a travel nurse here but also started here was saying that if we started out around $30 it would be more commensurate with the work we do. Overall it is a good...

    Greener grass?

    c27_AEMT replied to c27_AEMT's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the reply. I hear about some nurses making quite a bit more yearly but I guess a lot of that comes down to experience. I don't want to leave a place where my only complaint is the pay and...

    Not Sure what specialty to do? (nurse for 2.5 years)

    c27_AEMT replied to uiwhi's topic in General Specialties

    Not the OP but I have been having a similar situation after being ED for a while. Lots of non-compliance but also lots of patients who just aren't sick. Working in critical and trauma can be pretty...

    BSN is a joke

    c27_AEMT replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    I am just a new nurse coming to nursing from a very eclectic past. Here's my two cents; take it or leave it. If someone has mentioned this, I missed it but to OP: why not consider a RN-MSN program....

    If you could redo it....would you choose nursing?

    c27_AEMT replied to ICURNPA92's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I would have done it before 30. It makes me sad to see all the negative experiences...I think my best decision besides becoming a nurse was choosing to work with an organization that really...

    Anyone else waiting to start an Emergency Department Residency Program?

    RN-BSN or RN-MSN?

    c27_AEMT posted a topic in School, College Programs

    Hello all: I am trying to decide what route to take regarding further education. I am a new grad in the university hospital setting and we have been told we need to get our BSN within a 5 years. I...

    RN-BSN or RN-MSN?

    c27_AEMT replied to c27_AEMT's topic in School, College Programs

    Thanks! That's what I have been leaning toward, especially since I have no real desire to begin a MSN program right away. I just didn't want to pick the wrong degree to continue my nursing...

    Anyone else waiting to start an Emergency Department Residency Program?

    c27_AEMT replied to NurseMika2b's topic in Emergency

    Hope everything is going well for you. I graduate in May and start my ED residency (36 weeks) in July. Level 1 and will be working peds and adult. Super nervous and was blown away by the facility....

    Second-degree accelerated BSN online program

    c27_AEMT replied to potatoz's topic in School, College Programs

    Here's my take. I was in the same position a few years back when I decided to pursue nursing. I got into an accelerated program at Emory, but it would cost me $25k for a 5 semester program AFTER my...

    IVs in the breast

    c27_AEMT replied to kasekin's topic in General Nursing

    IOs are not painful. The pop is a little disconcerting, but it really hurts about as much or less than an IV. I let a friend do one on me in school. The flush can be painful though. There is one...

    Advice on Continuing my Nursing Education

    c27_AEMT replied to c27_AEMT's topic in General Students

    Thanks. I do agree that it is a long way away. I guess I just got into thinking about it and wanted to have a solid plan. With regard to the difference in hours do you feel NPs are prepared as well...

    Advice on Continuing my Nursing Education

    c27_AEMT posted a topic in General Students

    I will try to keep this as succinct as possible. I am a nursing student and am planning for the possibility of continuing my education in some way. I know that this can be a somewhat controversial...

    Advice on Continuing my Nursing Education

    c27_AEMT replied to c27_AEMT's topic in General Students

    I realize it is my choice. I have been researching it a ton and shadowing all of the above. The reason I post it here is to see if there is anyone else out there who struggled with the same dilemma....

    Is nursing right for me?

    c27_AEMT replied to Kwak94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is coming from a fellow infantryman having worked closely with marine infantry and seeing how you guys are treated. You will be treated far better than you were as a grunt. I can't speak for...
