  1. Walden University for FNP, any suggestions?

    mkk99 replied to Luvbuble's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I personally would be wary of choosing my education based on it being supposedly "easy." I don't think nursing (at any level) is supposed to be easy and I would wonder if I would get the education I...

  2. Nursing program requires remedial classes?

    mkk99 replied to Ambreree's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're concerned that you won't pass a basic competency placement test, I wonder how you will fare in nursing

  3. Male graduate and pinning

    mkk99 replied to Rn 1979's topic in Men in Nursing

    What does being a male student have to do with your decision whether or not to go to pinning? I don't understand the

  4. What to do when an instructor has answer wrong but will not correct it?

    mkk99 replied to OKCRNStudent's topic in General Students

    Then those people could have gotten all of the other questions they got wrong right instead. If you are that close to not passing there are other issues than one instructor being stubborn. If you...

  5. What are your views on male nurses

    mkk99 replied to jared.butler90's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think it's interesting that it seems every male nurse who finds this site needs to post their own thread about

  6. Inpatient Hospice Ethical Dilemma?

    mkk99 replied to CNSnurse's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    If it was about patient care, why wouldn't the doctor be upfront about it? And why does he need to bad mouth their other options? If it was actually about patient care I would think he could say...

  7. prolapsed cord

    mkk99 replied to nfeese's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    1) Yes, if it is less than 30 seconds to nadir, it is a variable, regardless of timing. Most often you are going to see them happen with contractions but not always. 2) I think you are confusing...

  8. prolapsed cord

    mkk99 replied to nfeese's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If it takes less than 30 seconds to reach the nadir, it's a variable, not an early or late. This is my favorite site for definitions: Intrapartum Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring. You can see just by...

  9. Prerequisites - How long do they take?

    mkk99 replied to AspiringNurseNY's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on how many classes you need to take, how often your school offers them, what your school's schedule is like (semester/trimester/quarter), what sequence you need to take them in, if there's...

  10. Advance Practice Preceptorships - Should students find their own preceptors?

    mkk99 replied to husky171's topic in Advanced Practice

    That's great! I don't see what that has to do with this topic, which is about programs forcing students to find their own preceptors and the inequities and problems inherent in that. EDIT: Sorry I...

  11. Advance Practice Preceptorships - Should students find their own preceptors?

    mkk99 replied to husky171's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think unethical schools prey on students who either want to be an APRN SO BAD that they are willing to take a sub-standard education or students who simply don't know any better. CCNE not...

  12. How do I go about asking for an extension of my orientation in the NICU?

    mkk99 replied to journey2success's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I wonder if you are concerned about an acuity that your unit simply doesn't have? If you've been there 10 weeks and have been, as you said, asking for harder assignments but those assignments aren't...

  13. was this a HIPPA violation or not.

    mkk99 replied to Aemt1129's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Did you look for answers here?

  14. Does where you go for graduate nursing school matter?

    mkk99 replied to lyndsmar's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Good luck to you! Are you planning on doing an acute care specialty? I have trouble seeing the value of acute care experience for someone wanting to do primary care, like the original poster. The...

  15. Rewrite of Admission Essay

    mkk99 replied to DanaRNoneday's topic in General Students

    Personally I really liked your opening paragraph. I thought... where is she going with this... a ha! What a nice surprise! Now whether that's good for an admissions essay, I'm not so sure, but I...

  16. Eligibility expiring.

    mkk99 replied to Gyanshieldsdad's topic in General Nursing

    If your school won't sign you off you won't be getting an ATT in any state, regardless of their individual limits. There's a reason your school wants you to take a refresher since you haven't been...

  17. Does where you go for graduate nursing school matter?

    mkk99 replied to lyndsmar's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I have to disagree with saying "most" people who do graduate-entry program have trouble finding jobs. I'm sure it varies by specialty (you mention acute care specialties but OP is specifically saying...

  18. What have you learned in nursing school that was utter nonsense?

    mkk99 replied to TheMiss's topic in General Nursing

    Guess you've never seen someone use Hypnobirthing,

  19. Choosing BSN pgm to prep for MSN in Midwifery

    mkk99 replied to theyseemescrollin's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I would think any of the options listed would get you into midwifery school. I graduated from a top CNM program and all of my BSN-prepared classmates were from "good" schools - both public and...

  20. Should I say something?

    mkk99 replied to pigginsrn's topic in General Nursing

    I would think looking at other people's documentation would be a red flag in itself. Surely she's not caring for EVERY patient on the floor? Plus the harrassment... yes I think you should mention...

  21. F's and W will i be able to get a job in nursing?

    mkk99 replied to Confusedstudent30's topic in General Students

    Don't worry about a job - I doubt you will get into nursing school at all with F's on your transcript. Nursing schools are very competitive and there are people with 3.5 or higher GPAs who don't get...

  22. MSN to NP....how?

    mkk99 replied to Idahome's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Oh I see! I'm not familiar with programs that do CNL or other MSNs that aren't NPs - my apologies! I agree then that post-master's would be your best shot - I don't know that a DNP grants someone...

  23. HIPAA Violation as a student

    mkk99 replied to Nrsng_is_life's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    If she wasn't posting identifiable information why would we be having this discussion in the first place? I worry that you are encouraging the original poster to "keep her mouth shut" when clearly...

  24. HIPAA Violation as a student

    mkk99 replied to Nrsng_is_life's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Why would posting lab results and blaming nurses on a student facebook group ever be appropriate though? Let the administration decide if it's HIPAA or not, but regardless, this person is showing...

  25. Applying for nursing school on antidepressants

    mkk99 replied to kristinamarie55's topic in General Students

    You don't need to tell everyone your business but stigma and reactions like this only hurt people, they don't help. Would you have this same reaction or advice for a diabetic on insulin or someone...
