1. EKG Resources

   cards replied to MJC2118's topic in NP

   Hi OP, I was a tele nurse for 6-7 years and am a FNP now, I went to a highly rated school and graduated with a 4.0, despite this I was still not prepared for advanced EKG reading with my new job in electrophysiology (and honestly, this is a better at...

2. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

   cards replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

   Hey OP, make sure you don't make life decisions and decide whether to purchase luxury items based on my single post (a person you don't know). Also I hope I didn't imply that student loan debt is no big deal. I would like to rephrase and say for me, ...

3. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

   cards replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

   I try to spend my money on experiences and travel rather than designer handbags. But hey, as long as you are not in debt. Unless it is student debt, because we're all chipping away at that!

5. Regret leaving the bedside?

   cards replied to anchorRN's topic in NP

   Respectfully, DISAGREE. Future NPs - don't let any sour nurse deter you from your dreams whether you are 1 second out of school or 1 decade out of school. Yes obviously you lack certain skills that come with being a floor nurse (not really sure you w...

6. Regret leaving the bedside?

   cards replied to anchorRN's topic in NP

   I have only been an FNP for 6 months now but am specifically only working in the field of cardiology, and even more specifically, electrophysiology. All I can say is there were days as an RN i would absolutely dread going to work because nurses, a lo...

7. I don't know what to do

   cards replied to whichone'spink's topic in General Nursing

   I can totally understand your concern with a bunch of debt hanging over your head. And you don't need to have experience in informatics to lead you to want to pursue your dream, if that is what you want to do. My friend had been a psych nurse at the ...

8. Number of Patients per Day

   cards replied to LoloFNP's topic in Advanced

   I think 14-18 patients per day is fair as long as you have some admin time built in and you aren't routinely leaving late. Don't see why people are okay with leaving late, don't get taken advantage of!

    cards replied to mayrod's topic in Advanced

    I'm an introvert and yes you can do this job well and still have social anxiety (hopefully you are managing it in healthy ways).

14. Awesome Cardiac EP job available!

    cards replied to Cardiology EP NP's topic in Advanced

    Hmm. Didn't work. I tried to respond back to you and had this long message ready but it basically took me to a different screen and said I couldn't send any. So I guess I'll post here as vaguely as I can. I accepted an EP NP job and they said they a...

15. Awesome Cardiac EP job available!

    cards replied to Cardiology EP NP's topic in Advanced

    Hey EP NP, I don't think I am able to PM you since I do not have enough posts I believe (I've been a long time lurker, 10+ years) but have never posted myself. Maybe you are able to PM me and then I can reply? Otherwise I can try to somehow share my...
