  2. I'm a sexless nurse

    tonet0908 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    It's getting hot in

  3. I'm a sexless nurse

    tonet0908 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    This is all a bit funny to me and I apologize if I offend anyone by laughing. There is only one male nurse on the day shift on my unit and basically it's the culture on my unit that us nurses work as...

  4. I give up.. Failed Aanp three times

    tonet0908 replied to Wakes's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm so sorry to hear this. Please don't beat up on yourself too much and definitely do not give up. You can't, you've come too far, made too many sacrifices and if other people have done it, why can't...

  5. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    tonet0908 replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OMG! I am traumatized just reading this. Why wasn't there a security guard with her? Better yet, why wasn't she transferred to a Psych facility. A regular nurse is not trained to deal with demon...

  6. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    tonet0908 replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Told me I reminded her of her house keeper after asking me what my ethnicity was. I was born on the island of Jamaica but grew up in NYC but because her housekeeper is Jamaican then automatically I...

  7. Do DNPs get compensated more

    tonet0908 replied to nurselyfe4115's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Like my colleagues already mentioned, it depends on where you work unfortunately. Some employers will give you a pay raise for the DNP degree and others won't. I work in a single physician practice,...

  8. Black and Job Hunting

    tonet0908 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree, I live and work in NYC also and it's the other way around I think. My unit only has 1 Caucasian nurse and he is on the day shift, there are no Caucasians on the night shift. The rest of the...

  9. When did it become OK to treat your nurse like poo?

    tonet0908 replied to paramed1's topic in Emergency

    I work on a Med/Surg/Tele unit so our patients are very colorful. Also, let me remind you it's a kosher Jewish facility as well. I had this patient the other day who was insisting on me getting him a...

  10. for those who work 12 hour shifts, how long is your lunch break?

    tonet0908 replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Nursing

    We get 1 hour unpaid for lunch and two 30 mins breaks but we normally don't take the last 30 mins. We only take 30 mins for breakfast in the morning and the hour lunch. You can always get paid for the...

  11. Areas of nursing you would NOT like?

    tonet0908 replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    I am by no means interested in Psych, OB/GYN, any of the ICUs and definitely not Home Care because I hate going into people's homes. I'll deal with them in my

  12. When did it become OK to treat your nurse like poo?

    tonet0908 replied to paramed1's topic in Emergency

    I love that, I think our hospitals here in the US should adopt some of those traits from the UK when it comes to "waiting on" on some of these patients. Sometimes I feel like a glorified maid and I...

  13. Nurse Practitioner School

    tonet0908 replied to sashyashyRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well said BostonFNP, you verbalized perfectly everything I had a hard time stating in another forum. Thank

  14. Given a do over, which (feasible) career would you pursue?

    tonet0908 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Forensic

  15. Recent DNP-FNP graduate, interviews approaching and pregnant. Advice?

    tonet0908 replied to FroggieNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I guess that makes sense because the DNP program I'm in allows the Adult NP to take Peds courses in order to complete the FNP requirement and at the end, get their DNP

  16. Are FNP salaries in family practice really this low?

    tonet0908 replied to new_horizons555's topic in Advanced Practice

    Hahaha!

  17. Are FNP salaries in family practice really this low?

    tonet0908 replied to new_horizons555's topic in Advanced Practice

    Listen, you incorporated yourself into a conversation that had nothing to do with what you were talking about. You made something that had nothing to do with you all about you. We were talking about...

  18. Are FNP salaries in family practice really this low?

    tonet0908 replied to new_horizons555's topic in Advanced Practice

    Baby needs a nap? Do you feel validated now? You got it all off your chest? Like I said, and I'll say it again, people make their own choice on what program they would like to attend, it's not up to...

  19. Are FNP salaries in family practice really this low?

    tonet0908 replied to new_horizons555's topic in Advanced Practice

    Riburn3, I am by no means jealous of anyone, what they have or how they chose to live their lives I continue to do what I want because I make my own decisions in this life. I make 6 figures as well...

  20. Are FNP salaries in family practice really this low?

    tonet0908 replied to new_horizons555's topic in Advanced Practice

    Hi AutomotiveRN67, I totally agree with everything you said, I personally feel a bit disgruntled about those online degree programs because I chose to go to a traditional program for all 3 of my...

  21. Recent DNP-FNP graduate, interviews approaching and pregnant. Advice?

    tonet0908 replied to FroggieNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    First of all congrats on everything and I wish you all the success in the world. I have a question, what's this DNP-FNP program everyone is talking about? Forgive me for being ignorant but I went a...

  22. Are FNP salaries in family practice really this low?

    tonet0908 replied to new_horizons555's topic in Advanced Practice

    I am just renewing my FL state ARNP license because I am moving down there by the end of 2015. I really do hope some of these restrictions are lifted soon because I would like to practice at the full...

  23. Where are you going for your DNP

    tonet0908 replied to Nursetonp's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Anytime!

  24. Where are you going for your DNP

    tonet0908 replied to Nursetonp's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I am finishing up my DNP program at Pace University in New York City. It is a 3.5 yrs program of both in class and online activities. It is very intense because of all the writing and research...

  25. DNP: Who are you?

    tonet0908 replied to hancameron's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It's kind of funny and a bit frustrating but in the practice that I am in, there are 2 PA's, 1 Physician (all 3 are males) and me a female DNP. The medical Assistants and front desk employees call...
