I'm planning on going directly into NP school after I graduate. My first choice NP school requires you to have a job as a nurse. Other schools require you to have a full-time position as an RN. By the time you are finished depending on the length of ...

I work as a hospice aide and an aide on a med surg floor. For hospice we remove everything except; Mid, central and PICC lines. We have ME cases often, a few have been if the patient fell at a facility, and one patient was believed to have had suffer...

I call B.S I do it all the time and I also take care of my patients. I do their peri-care and I take their vitals. The nurses and the techs love me when I sit. And I watch on my phone as the patient sleeps. Plenty of people have down time on the j...

Hey did you go to this program? If you did can you offer insight.

I see this often as an aide, they take it so personally. I tell them that there is duality in this situation, on one hand they have gotten better,on the opposite side if they were allowed to stay they are actively declining and may have a few weeks o...

Hey, congratulations can you give me some insight into this program, I am at South University and am looking into this program. What entrance exam did you have to take? What scores did they want you to have on said entrance exam? Why are you retaking...

What exactly is this person supposed to get used to? Just because this is the internet doesn't mean people should throw away their humanity and behave in an unbecoming manner.

I'm working with a staff nurse now that wears one, but she is in NP school.

Yes it is horrible here, I live in a Red state and the local community college is so liberal. The professor will say something , hoping we disagree and look around the room waiting for a debate. It is really annoying, I heard it is even worse at the ...
