  1. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    blondenurse12 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am fully vaccinated and I think of myself as a relatively intelligent individual. When I have read on this topic, I am concerned. mRNA vaccines have been researched for years but now we have...

  2. Coronavirus Second Wave?

    blondenurse12 replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The second wave will come. But the issue is- do we save those who have lived a long life or do we sacrifice the future of our children? This may sound dramatic but there are many things to consider....

  3. COVID-19 Deaths: Killed More Americans than the Vietnam War

    blondenurse12 replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    A disgusting comparison, truly. For one, our population is over double what it was during the Vietnam War. Another issue is that the US primarily went to war with Vietnam to assert dominance and to...

  4. Considering NP - looking for honest feedback

    blondenurse12 replied to Brittany Garraty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is just my opinion/experience so you may take it for what it's worth. Determining whether or not you want to become a NP will be mostly influenced by your current salary and experience. For me,...

  5. Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    blondenurse12 replied to EPS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am a nurse practitioner. I am not currently working in hospital, I work at an urgent care and we are also doing drive through Covid testing. My area is particularly affected but on the flipside of...

  6. DNP Admission Essay Conundrum

    blondenurse12 posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'll try to keep this short and sweet. I decided I would like to go back for a DNP. I have a particular school in mind and one of their admission criteria is an essay describing your professional...

  7. Any regrets becoming a NP?

    blondenurse12 replied to DesertSky's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have mixed feelings about becoming a NP. I make more money and I have more autonomy which are good things but I feel like I traded a lot for it. I was an ER nurse and then a CICU nurse before going...

  8. Women's Right to Choose

    blondenurse12 replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    Gross. All of this makes me want to vomit. You're absolving men of any responsibility. You're basically saying it's 100%a women's fault for getting pregnant and they should only have sex to procreate....

  9. Women's Right to Choose

    blondenurse12 replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, the internalized misogyny is strong. You do realize women have the most desire to have sex during their most fertile period? Condoms are only 86% effective on average. I've had men take off the...

  10. Women's Right to Choose

    blondenurse12 replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    Certainly a polarizing topic but let's call a spade a spade. Abortion has nothing to do with 'life' and everything to do with controlling women and limiting economic mobility. The AL politicians said...

  11. Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    blondenurse12 replied to FrustratedExStudent's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry! It sounds like this particular nurse didn't like you and inflated the situation to punish you. It's great you were allowed to stay but I would talk to a lawyer. The school and this...

  12. Why don't more NPs advocate for better training?

    blondenurse12 replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm surprised no one has commented on the fact that many brick and mortar schools are phasing out master's programs entirely. I'm disturbed by this. I know it's all about the dollars and to go from...

  13. Is this crazy?

    blondenurse12 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I can only tell you my experience and take from that what you will. I decided to get my FNP about 5 years after becoming an RN. I was burned out with ICU. I had this idea that becoming a FNP would be...

  14. I Hope This is Not the Latest Trend

    blondenurse12 replied to PhyllisMSN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not defending these nurses but I think we need to look at the bigger picture. Prosecuting them maybe will make the family feel better but what will it accomplish? The real problem is that these...

  15. Terminated/Resigned after 1 week orientation in the ED

    blondenurse12 replied to littlemissRN24's topic in Nursing Career

    Is this hospital union? I had this issue with my first job. I was a new RN but I had done my last semester internship in ICU and I had been a nurse intern the previous summer in a trauma ER. My...

  16. Shockingly low NP pay !

    blondenurse12 replied to Jm0136's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    For an older nurse, I don't know why one would want to become a NP. I had a colleague when I worked as a RN that became a NP but because she was maxed out of the pay and PTO scale, she stayed a floor...

  17. Hourly NP and pay

    blondenurse12 replied to TexasNP14's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You definitely should be getting paid for time you are working even if you aren't seeing patients. I would approach it like this- so they are scheduling you on average 25 patients a day. They are...

  18. First NP Job, misled and unhappy

    blondenurse12 replied to NYbaby0126's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Fifty five patients in one day?! Yikes. I sometimes see 30 but that's a 10 hour shift. It seems like this practice is all about money and not about patient care or cultivating knowledgeable...

  19. Do you think I have a case? HIPAA

    blondenurse12 replied to msoncnurse17's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    They have to educate you on HIPAA if they are accredited by the Joint Commission. If they didn't, that's a big problem. Will it serve you well to make a stink? Probably not. Obviously I don't know...

  20. An amazing CULT-ure: Crossfit...Good or bad?

    blondenurse12 replied to Cwoods's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Did a touch a nerve? Obviously. To be honest, I can get behind what you're saying. Functional movements are great. If that's what CrossFit is, I can stand behind it. But just because your gym is doing...

  21. An amazing CULT-ure: Crossfit...Good or bad?

    blondenurse12 replied to Cwoods's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am a very avid female lifter. I am very aware that when lifting heavily, form must be perfect or you risk serious injury. CrossFit folk (in general) seem to throw caution to the wind in order to...

  22. Verbally abusive patient, worried I could have handled the situation better

    blondenurse12 replied to NurseMom2016's topic in General Nursing

    I personally think you did nothing wrong. I've noticed this trend, especially on this board, that nurses have basically turned into enablers. Not giving this guy coffee is not violating his autonomy,...

  23. Does the BON investigate every complaint?

    blondenurse12 posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is probably a weird situation but I'm sure it's happened before. To make a long story short, this person in my life has a vendetta against me. This individual said all these slanderous things in...

  24. Does the BON investigate every complaint?

    blondenurse12 replied to blondenurse12's topic in General Nursing

    Well the problem is twofold. This person is tied to law enforcement so I feel that they might have sway to get my complaint to go away quietly. I did contact the police initially during the first...

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

    blondenurse12 replied to ICURNPA92's topic in General Nursing

    If I had to do it over, no I wouldn't become a nurse. I'm not really sure what I'd do but not nursing or medicine. I went into nursing because many of my family members are in medicine and I have the...
