    nursemcsleepy replied to windy8's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Not at all! I think I’m a strong candidate - I just meant that I knew that I wasn’t in the program because I never received an interview. It’s a competitive program though, and lots of people...

  5. Stony Brook FNP Summer 2021

    nursemcsleepy replied to windy8's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Please don’t be discouraged! I thought about grad school a few years ago and was told at an info seminar that it was unlikely that I’d get in then. I was too discouraged to apply that year but...

    nursemcsleepy replied to windy8's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It was an unofficial acceptance. It said that they had finished reviewing applications and we would get the official acceptance from SBU in early Spring. I feel like they had less applicants than the...

  8. Stony Brook FNP Summer 2021

    nursemcsleepy replied to windy8's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    @Deerunnergirl I didn’t think to ask! They gave us time to ask questions at the end, but everyone I interviewed with was so impressive and I think I was too nervous to think of a good question for...

    I applied for FNP and PNP on 12/1. I had my PNP interview last week but haven’t heard anything yet from the FNP

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

    nursemcsleepy replied to ICURNPA92's topic in General Nursing

    I would have gone into audiology. I like patient care and never want to change that aspect of my job, but I do want more autonomy. Or since I'm applying to NP schools, I might have gone straight for...

  13. ER rushing patients to the floor

    nursemcsleepy replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    I think the real problem is that you have nine patients on a tele floor! That seems insanely unsafe, and makes me wonder how unsafe the ratios are in the

  14. Starting Nursing career in a new state

    nursemcsleepy replied to Future RN S.B.'s topic in Nursing Career

    I highly recommend Texas, especially the Houston area, if you're looking to relocate for nursing. There are so many major hospitals here, highly ranked, and you'll gain great experience in the field....

  15. Because I'm a big baby

    nursemcsleepy replied to yarrumzil's topic in Nursing Humor

    Ooh glad you learned that NICU and peds aren't for you while you're still in school. But next time try sucrose? Baby crack works wonders on the little

  16. Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    nursemcsleepy replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    Two years in a row I've gotten the flu shot and STILL gotten the flu. The year before last it ended with a few days in the hospital thanks to a good flu-asthma-pneumonia combo. But you know what, I'm...

    nursemcsleepy replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    You know the shift is going to be a hot mess when security is escorting your patient's parent out on your way in, still screaming

  18. Should mean people be allowed to be mean at work?

    nursemcsleepy replied to jessimee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My favorite is when I'm told that it's a "cultural difference" for someone to be patronizing and disrespectful to anyone younger or less

  19. So you're just a nurse?

    nursemcsleepy replied to l1234567's topic in General Nursing

    I swear I never want to roll my eyes more than when someone says, 'you must be a very special person'. Please stop. I'm special for a lot of reason, let's not limit it to just my

    nursemcsleepy replied to RNbb91's topic in Nursing Career

    I would be concerned about only getting 8 weeks of orientation for your first job, especially in a stepdown

  21. What do you do to volunteer and give back?

    nursemcsleepy replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a camp counselor at a camp for kids with cancer, and I volunteer for an organization that helps put libraries in women's

  22. Unconventional hair colors

    nursemcsleepy replied to ScientistSalarian's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a hospital with very relaxed rules about personal appearance. Purple hair? Totally fine. Nose pierced? Great. Full tattooed sleeves? No issues as long as they're G-rated. Even our uniforms...

  23. New nurse: I get no respect

    nursemcsleepy replied to Nurse326's topic in Emergency

    Respect is earned, not given. You have to tough it out and prove yourself as a good nurse before anyone else sees you that

  24. Advice for a new peds nurse? :)

    nursemcsleepy replied to stmnurse01's topic in Pediatric

    Random tidbit, but it's really hard to calm a two or three year old once they get worked up about something. Singing Happy Birthday is the FASTEST way to get them to calm down. I saw another nurse do...
