    BSN straight to NP or gain work experience

    Jedrnurse replied to clint.parsch's topic in General Nursing

    The term is "advanced practice". How do you practice in an advanced way if you've never practiced at all? Get some experience

    Working with another nurse

    Jedrnurse replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Currently solo, but I've worked in health offices when there was more than one nurse. Some places divide by grades, trying to make the numbers as equal as possible. (That doesn't always work for...

    New Nurse; How do I earn respect from PCA/CNA?

    Jedrnurse replied to HaleyRoseRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    How long are you working with a preceptor? Honestly, you may not be able to change this in a short time. When you're the primary nurse (solo), they'd have to report things on your patients to you....

    Preparation advice

    Jedrnurse replied to Spoolers's topic in School

    You're from the UK, I take it? In the US, school nurse requirements are set from state to state, and can vary widely. A book I find helpful (I used it to help study for the national school nurse...

    Pregnant and nursing school

    Jedrnurse replied to Jennysweet163's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses seem to have all the great paying jobs? I'm curious what your source(s) are, and what your threshold for great paying is... Also keep in mind on any given day you'll read posts here written by...

    Does clinical rotation at facility count as a being a previous temp employee/volunteer?

    Jedrnurse replied to scarlet1314's topic in General Nursing

    They wouldn't be looking for your name in their "clinical" system, but rather their human resources database. You shouldn't worry about getting in trouble for answering correctly.

    Do you ever feel like you 'settled' for being an APNP instead of an MD?

    Being called a baby nurse

    Jedrnurse replied to NurseA1987's topic in General Nursing

    For LPN experience to be discounted is ridiculous. In some settings I've seen, the LPNs and diploma RNs ran rings around the college crowd. This is NOT meant to set off another educational debate, but...

    Do you ever feel like you 'settled' for being an APNP instead of an MD?

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

    Please don't take this the wrong way, but you haven't even graduated nursing school, let alone passed the boards and then worked as a nurse. Don't worry about advanced practice vs. MD- you've still...

    Malpractice Insurance: Do you carry your own?

    Jedrnurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    NSO as well (ever since I got my license 25 years ago.) Reasonable rate, pretty good coverage. As a rule, never depend on your employer's coverage, even if just to have your own lawyer if the need...

    Revoking Your Own License: How to Remove Your Name from the Board of Nursing

    Jedrnurse replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    If you have no active license, you may not practice. Otherwise, it would be practicing without a license. Your previous periods of licensure remain listed as public record. But you cannot be held to...
