  1. What is your Nursing Kryptonite?

    synaptic replied to Lunah's topic in General Nursing

    Not much in life bothers me but when turd-matter has crustified between the ball-sack of an old man for weeks on end it can be pretty rough. Especially if your the first to lift the flood-gate and the...

  2. All the degrees, no job

    synaptic replied to DNPFNP15's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Man that sucks when somebody chases a doctoral degree to just have to settle for charity work only without a paying

  3. MPH/PNP or MPH/FNP

    synaptic replied to ana.saavedra14's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    How do you hope to utilize the MPH. For it to be worth the cost/time, there needs to be a specific purpose to it. Otherwise it won't bring in any more salary or front-line

  4. Best school for DNP- FNP specialty track

    synaptic replied to Loving RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    one that doesn't have DNP in it would be

  5. Do Antidepressants Work? Maybe Not.

    synaptic replied to Zyprexa_Ho's topic in Psychiatric

    Yeah "chemical imbalance" is what my mom always used to say I had. Thats ok coming from somebody who isn't a medical professional, but when a medical professional is only able to describe a...

  6. Frustrated...

    synaptic replied to ByNonie's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The equation that most nurses run through their head before going to graduate school equates to something of the following likeness. Unfortunately it does not add up at all like psychguy says, and if...

  7. It's time to vent!!!

    synaptic replied to MegRyanGirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Man im glad i never think about what happened at work when i get home. Internal control makes life easy. No need to vent just move on. Suck it up and who

  8. Frustrated...

    synaptic replied to ByNonie's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Lol yeah lack of focus has haunted the best of us in times past. But anyway, as I posted in a previous forum, most people are better of staying nurse compared to going back for a masters. The job...

  9. New Grad FNP job hunting

    synaptic replied to EDNURSE4LIFE's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    most employers don't care too much about prior nursing experience. Do you live in a saturated area? thats the biggest factor in a job hunt. It is easier to find RN jobs in comparison to FNP, since...

  10. Accepted to FNP program, an $80,000 student loan worth it? I need advice!

    synaptic replied to Aik0's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    lol 90k. What a rip off jeez. I paid like

  11. I am a student NP. Should I put RN-BSN on my resume?

    synaptic replied to whomiskim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Im with you on this. An employee/employer relationship is commentualistic at best. Be wary of the word team, even if whoever you work for makes you feel fluffy and purple

  12. Frustrated...

    synaptic replied to ByNonie's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't quite understand how people on this site NEVER think of the business side of things, besides psych guy, jules, and a few others. DNP should not be paid more because there is no reason to be...

  13. Missouri. Can a new graduate NP work?

    synaptic replied to whomiskim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    usually picking up the phone and calling them works wonders. Just don't dial 1800-allnurses again, because this isn't the best place to pic up state specific

  14. How To Get Started As A Nurse Writer

    synaptic replied to Elizabeth Hanes's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Unfortunately there are a lot of people who like to write. So, even if you are an excellent writer, the odds are against you. Also, I'm pretty sure I've never found anything useful on a nursing blog....

  15. APRNs should only be DNPs!

    synaptic replied to Lovanurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    We seem to only talk about what is in the programs. What about the order the curriculum is taken in. I mean, intellectually it would be beneficial to take another biochem, patho, pharm course, but a...

  16. What's up with all the 'failed NCLEX' posts?

    synaptic replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    probably sucky teachers teaching awful students who go to horrible for profit schools i remember the NCLEX... all 30 minutes of, 15 of which was the tutorial. America is getting dumber, I watched a...

  17. Enter your TEAS V Scores here!!

    synaptic replied to Future Nurse's Wife's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    i took the mcat and got 93rd percentile last month. I took a TEAS exam (practice from ati online from a friends account) I got one question wrong on the literature part. It was pretty

  18. I harmed my first patient today.

    synaptic replied to starwarrior's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    lol what how did you harm him? you pulled it out after deflating the balloon. a little bit of blood is normal with some people especially the frail and if they are on thinners. chill out and stop...

  19. All the degrees, no job

    synaptic replied to DNPFNP15's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    you will probably have to move, or stay working as a nurse. over saturation usually kills job prospects regardless of the degree. My old college had a guy with a phd in literature from Harvard working...

  20. How much do you remember from A&P? Pathophys?

    synaptic replied to audqyee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I also went home to visit my parents this weekend and was looking through my old stack of nursing books shaking my head the entire time. Who writes this stuff? I am pretty sure that every nursing book...

  21. How much do you remember from A&P? Pathophys?

    synaptic replied to audqyee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I remember most of what I need to know. My anatomy is really really weak though, but it isn't as important to remember that. Most docs that aren't surgeons don't remember the anatomy stuff so much...

    synaptic replied to twozer0's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  23. Question from a doc on NP education

    synaptic replied to clamchow's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A non-nursing person tomes in and posts a reputable question. People still get defensive, at least some. For all those who have gotten defensive... sorry, nursing is not the God of all professions,...

  24. 0200 BP's - Dealing with Tired Rude Doctors

    synaptic replied to Jennifer in Cali's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    well, first, good thing the doctor didn't say that to you, but a fellow nurse, because if it was such an emotionally catastrophic event and you were not even involved, I can only imagine the emotional...
