Is the Admitted Nursing@Simmons FB group still active? I can't find it on the search. I start with the May 2017 Cohort Thanks

So, I got into Nova for the Fall 2012 FNP program. yaaay!! Orientation is this coming monday. Anyone else starting? Does anyone have an idea of what to expect?

I am moving to WPB to start the FNP program at Nova. What is the job situation out there, I have looked at some of the hospitals and don't seem like much available. What about rehab facilities and such? Do any of the hospitals in the area do 8hr shi...

My enrollement counselor is useless. I applied in Dec 2011 for admission to the nursing program but am still waiting to hear results. I call her all the time and leave her messages, then she will call me after 3 weeks to B.S. me. Her favorite line is...

Thank you for your post and for reminding us that every professional has to start somewhere just like we all once did. It is always so strange to me when nurses are rude or mean to doctors who are asking questions regarding their patients' day and ca...

If you were planning on getting a MSN anyways, I say go for it. The time will pass anyways and you may as well use the time to acquire a degree that you intend to get anyways. Going back to school and looking for a job are not mutually exclusive. Yo...

#1 Every time I see those guys on the travel channel that get paid to travel the world and document it, I know,, that's what I would rather be doing than anything else. I guess that's whimsical coz it will never happen. #2 Which I am really, seriousl...

Whenever I have worked LTC, we had several hospice patients. The hospice nurse was not responsible for any of the daily pt needs like assessment, medication administration, wound care etc. Those are all the responsibility of the ltc nurse and the ho...

Please forgive me as I have never worked in a place such as you describe, but your post made me laugh! I am sure to you and to those in the middle of dealing with the issue it is a serious issue. Have you thought about having a security guard to mai...

Why was his blood sugar low? Was he too zonked and did not get to eat his meal? Did anyone follow up with the lack of meal intake? Maybe then the sedation could have been caught before RRT was necessary. Like others already said, just because you are...

When I was about 5 months pregnant, I worked 1st shift at the nursing home. I must have forgotten to hydrate coz I was leaning on my medcart infront of a resident's room getting ready to pull their meds. All of a sudden, I start seeing stars, try to...

You did the right thing by getting EKG and continuing to monitor. In this case, also report to the charge nurse and they will advice further based on their experience and unit protocol. Most importantly, once the monitor tech has notified you (and t...

Yes..you are not supposed to make any copies. But as demonstrated by OP's predicament, lack of a triplicate paper trail has a way of coming back to bite you on the caboose. Most original incident reports I have seen have a carbon copy. (Facilities ge...

Walden currently allows students to enroll in the FNP specialization in the following states: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Mass...

I found this article pretty interesting, and the comments after the article even more interesting. What do you guys think about banning stuff like pb&j due to food allergies, and how does your school (or your kid's school) handle this issue? htt...

sounds like every ltc I have ever worked at or considered working at.

wow. The world needs more nurses like you. Sorry the other nurse wasn't helpful in time of real need. Thank you for caring.

I promise you and any experienced nurse will tell you this>>>>>>> The day you get an abnormal lab that turns into something bad and has a negative outcome for the patient,,,,this same doctor will swear to high heaven that she nev...

Oh yeah...favoritisim, nepotism and all isms you can think of exist in nursing. I once worked in a nursing home where the Admin was sisters with the DON, sister in law with the MDS coordinator, ADON and Admin Assitant were brother and sister to the D...

Oh that's too bad you did not get the care you wanted over there. Well let's see who is rounding today,,,there Dr. (insert very difficult to pronounce Indian name here), then the attending is (Insert another foreign name here), residents are (even m...

My hospital does not stock ANY basins. If you want to give a bath, you must use wipes. Our linen cart doesn't event have wash rags, just full sized towels. (WHY?!?). When I started, I would be in supply room forever looking for them. Oh well.

To add to all the good advice, do not let your frustrations start showing. Even without realizing it, once we start getting frustrated about a situation, it will start manifesting in different ways and interviewers can start to pick up on it. Go to e...

Do not be bullied into taking an assignment you do not want! If you NEVER SIGNED any document agreeing to this contract, this recruiter is a bully (maybe worse) and by threatening you, he is probably breaking a few laws. Is he the only employee of t...
