1. AANP FNP board exam

   concordance replied to MiahH's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I didn't know a private room was an option!!!! I'm absolutely doing that when I take

2. Taking Boards Mandatory

   concordance replied to danceluver's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I also live in one of these states (Kansas) but every.single.job posting says you have to be board certified. That NPI number is really the kicker

3. Pre-nursing student, want to become an FNP. Reputable fast track programs??

   concordance replied to DontWantNoScrbs's topic in General Students

   Agreeing with previous posters--some time as an RN would be advisable. I'd be terrified to graduate and on the first day of my "real job" have to write prescriptions when I've never had to figure out...

4. nursing school THAT hard?

   concordance replied to happytypingirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I hated micro and nursing school was busy, but I found it far from impossible. I think junior and senior year of other degrees are probably hard too, but I wouldn't know from

5. Positivity, Please!

   concordance replied to Jsjrin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   More power to ya that you love micro! I had a terrible teacher and was counting down the days till the end of the semester. Go kill

6. Did I choose the right thing to do as a nurse on my test?

   concordance replied to Beautiful_Soul's topic in LPN, LVN Students

   We have standing orders for a bladder scan, so that makes me think you need an order for a bladder scan...so I'd let the doctor

7. New grad 6 weeks orientation?

   concordance replied to SimpleNewGrad's topic in Nursing Career

   Six weeks sounds absurdly short. I think I got 12 as a new grad? I work in the ED now and our new grads get SIX MONTHS, as well as a yearlong residency

8. Questions from prospective NP

   concordance replied to FutureNP777's topic in Nursing Career

   I agree with the previous poster. As for which math classes you need: something basic + a stats course (for my BSN). Some MSN programs want a graduate-level stats class as well. It's not too big of a...

9. Vanderbilt MSN

   concordance posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Hi all-- I posted a few days ago elsewhere but I'm still looking for some insight: Anyone know a guy who knows a guy who did their MSN at Vanderbilt? Specifically, I'm looking into the post-BSN...

10. Picc line resistance and bleeding

    concordance replied to katfish67lpn's topic in General Nursing

    I think I would be surprised if the two were (the sluggish flush and the bleeding) were related because the tip is so far from the insertion site. The PICC has probably grown a fibrin tail (like a...

11. Working with Parallon???? Help

    concordance replied to nyc2011's topic in General Nursing

    The ss card and driver's license are both standard things to determine legal eligibility to work. Yep, everything happens on estaff365. They also like to make everything sound super urgent!!!!!! but I...

12. Better off single?

    concordance replied to westcounty's topic in General Students

    I'd say give it a shot. I think it's foolish to just assume it'll be impossible. I started dating someone a few months in to nursing school...he proposed the day before graduation and we've been...

13. Torn between job I love and going back to school

    concordance replied to allisonr12's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Can you defer your acceptance for a year? Could be a good option to see if you continue to love your job and give you more time to sort things

14. back to the hospital?

    concordance replied to nurse.j.'s topic in General Nursing

    Yeah that sounds terrible. I work in the ER and was on the job until the day before my lady was born (nine days "late"; but who was counting, right?). It was doable but towards the end they started...

15. Not Hiring New Grads in ER's

    concordance replied to cel589's topic in Emergency

    Ooh friend I'd take that externship. It'll give you a little more support out of school and a little more "graceful" transition into being a nurse. I work in the ED now and we hire new grads but it...
