  1. Does this sound too hard

    Drop the music course for now and get your music fix in your free time. Music is something you can always take up again, in and out of formal lessons, and do recreationally in the meantime....
  2. Working on Expired License for 5 Weeks

    I always renewed timely, but realized that my hospital didn't check. They knew when everyone's licenses lapsed, kept a spreadsheet on it, but they had zero method to follow up on this and as a result...
  3. Relocation advice! New grad, Help guys!

    If you can get 3 12's in a row (ask specifically, or plan to make trades), you can go be with him on your days off. I know lots of traveling nurses who do exactly that-- work three days, then go home...

    If you go to Google Scholar and search exactly this as given: ("advanced practice nurses" OR NP OR ANP OR "nurse practitioner" OR "nurse practitioners") AND (outcomes OR "patient outcomes")...
  5. this is for a school assignment

    Aw, you guys. I was actually at work. Sorry to miss it. OP, yes, that's what I would have said. Get out there. Kudos is (yeah, "kudos" is singular) due to OrganizedChaosLVN for having that handy to...
  6. What nursing specialty interests you the most for the future?

    I had an ICU rotation in school and was taken by the autonomy the nurse had there, but a wee bit intimidated and I didn't think they'd hire a new grad anyway. So then I was certain to be a pedi nurse...
  7. Class/es and a Newborn...?

    I had a Medela manual and once the kid was about 4 months old I was getting 6-8oz in a ten-minute coffee break at work > into the floor fridge and dropped off at daycare on the way home. :) When...
  8. Fertility Clinic Job

    Insight is a useful thing. Consider how you will deal with the clients who are not successful as well as the ones who are. Stressful. Consider also what L&D experience will give you in terms of...
  9. What nursing specialty interests you the most for the future?

    I always told my students to ask every nurse they came in contact with to ask why s/he did what s/he did. Everybody tells you that. But also be sure to ask why s/he doesn't do what s/he doesn't do....

  11. Class/es and a Newborn...?

    I used manual ones, inexpensive enough to buy for try-outs. I think the one I liked best I got from another woman in my birthing class who found it wasn't a good fit for her. My daughter got a...
  12. Case managers also need to have had nursing experience, and without a license she won't meet that
  13. Failed A Course...

    You asked for advice from a preceptor-- I've done that, too, and I did point out that based on the very limited info you gave us there could be another side to the story. I asked for more details....
  14. Or take the NCLEX where you are, and transfer your license when you actually move there. And register to vote and get a driver's license! Yes, this will cost you some extra money. Not as much as...
  15. Whatever you do, be sure you know if the BoN has a use-by date for your degree. You don't want to find yourself unable to sit the exam because your degree is too
  16. You can give MD your MD address and take NCLEX in TN, requesting that results are reported to MD. Or just move there and apply then. I guess I'm not understanding what the problem
  17. Failed A Course...

    For what it's worth, as an instructor I've had students who had good GPAs but were very challenged by clinical. Supplemental assignments such as you describe were usually good ways to open their eyes...
  18. For what it's worth, this is almost word for word the argument against licensure exams themselves when they were first proposed. "I already did(the old way), so I think it's wrong to have to prove...

    You'll have better work-life balance as a nurse, and smaller loans to pay off as
  20. when to start studying for NCLEX

    A few assumptions you're making here ... let's blow them up one by one :) Assumption: I have to study for NCLEX. Ummm: NCLEX is designed to see if you, a graduate of a reputable and accredited...

    Call the suppliers and ask where they sell their, um, stock, and then call those hospitals and ask to speak to the wound care
  22. Is this messed up?

    How many years HAVE you been in nursing school, anyway? Two years ago you had a ten-year-old girl, and now you have an 18-yr-old boy and a 20-yr-old girl and a granddaughter? Agree... change it up...
  23. BSN to Post Baccalaureate Pre Med

    Medical school and nursing school are not on a continuum. Decide what you want to be-- a physician doing physician care, or a nurse doing nursing care? Then you'll have a clue. It would be a waste...
