    Seeking Advice: Direct Entry Blues

    Skippingtowork replied to mk989's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Bedside nursing does not help you in primary practice or even many specialty practices. The problem is that many practices do not have the time or money to provide extensive training for anyone....

    Why are nurses disrespected so much?

    Skippingtowork replied to fitfabfunnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    Skippingtowork replied to CNAbutLPN2be2017's topic in General Nursing

    The hospitals I know have provisions for you to bring your children to work with you if you have to work during a hurricane. Many people that work in health care do not have trusted family or friends...

    Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    Skippingtowork replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    There is no reason to call the doctor if the mother is exclusively breastfeeding. If the mother wanted a bottle, that nurse would probably skip to get the formula and feed the baby

    "Nanny State?" Breastfeeding initiative has been existence long before mayor Bloomberg. Breastfeeding is best! But this has nothing to do with this mother falling asleep with her baby. All the...

    Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    Skippingtowork replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    Those are medical exceptions. In many hospitals, parents have to sign a form to say baby can have formula and doctor orders it. In some ways breastfeeding has gone way up. In other situations,...

    Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    Skippingtowork replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    They were written up for going against the hospital mandate of no formula, not because they're going against parents wishes. Nurses are not arrogant for wanting babies to be safe. As far as parents...

    Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    Skippingtowork replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    Rooming in is a great thing, but in reality you have tired mothers who think they know everything and refuse to put the baby back in the bassinet no matter how much you beg to do it for them. An...

    California Nursing Advice

    Skippingtowork replied to NorCalPal's topic in General Students

    Try Azuza Pacific and West Coast. Azuza Pacific has some interesting learning opportunities that other schools do not offer. Don't do ADN. Many hospitals in SoCal are moving towards BSN only for...

    Ethical delema

    Skippingtowork replied to Cclm's topic in General Students

    One of my concerns here is that OP stated more than once that another nurse is being blamed for the incident. All the people involved may not know what the facts are. Yes, as a student OP should not...

    A lot of Hate toward NP Students without years of RN experience

    Skippingtowork replied to jenn17's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I encourage all nurses who want to be NPs (or any other profession), to go for it. If you have desire, motivation and opportunity, don't wait. I have be around many young NPs who did very well....

    How much did NP school prepare you?

    Skippingtowork replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is beautifully said and I thank you. Many comments clearly do not address the complexity of going to NP school. Everyone who attends graduate school realizes that much of the learning is up to...

    How much did NP school prepare you?

    Skippingtowork replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You keep referrig to NP work schedules. I know a med student ( a former nurse) who, despite it being against the rules, worked on the weekends as a nurse due to financial needs. As an adult, who has...

    Oh I see. My mistake. You are not the only one that does this. The various medical organizations always reach out to NPs. I have used their materials to study since I was in school the first...

    Skippingtowork replied to Owlgal's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Actually, I don't think your view is that much different from mine. It may just be more generalized. I do feel that NP education should be standardized, but it is not, so until then how do we help?...

    Skippingtowork replied to Owlgal's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    1. If you had a GPA of 3.0 30 years ago, does that really matter? Most NPs aren't going to grad school straight from BSN, even though that's a growing trend. 2. My bad. 3. A positive statement...
