  1. On the chopping block? Need some encouragement

    Buyer beware replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    OP, Is there more to this story? I'm sensing a non-sequitur in the sequence of events you describe that could account for the hot and cold treatment you are experiencing from your co-workers. You went...

  3. Male Nurses, the reality of false allegations and the potential dooming effects

    Buyer beware replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Men in Nursing

    OP: I can tell you without reservation that this has been a semi-conscious serious issue in hospital patient care for a long time. Traditionally the main targets of accusations/allegations have been...

  4. Average DNP loans

    Buyer beware replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Jules, me too. But today young people, vets and grandma are all clay pigeons when it comes to the loan mill industry fired up by the Department of Education and exploited primarily by the for-profit...

  5. I hate nursing

    Buyer beware replied to Neezy84's topic in General Nursing

    Posters, if you haven't read the Davey Do post I urge you to do so. I won't reference it because I don't wish to steal his thunder, suffice to say it's a hard act to follow. Now for the mundane:...

  7. Nursing School

    Buyer beware replied to honestlymaya's topic in General Students

    (collegescorecard.ed.gov) This site should help you separate the wheat from the chaff. Stay away from the for-profit mess. Most have the same business model as the recently defunct ITT tech. You...

  8. Charter College RN Program?

    Buyer beware replied to elisb85's topic in General Nursing

    OP; Lots of money to go this school. (collegescorecard.ed.gov) Will the State of Alaska help offset some of the expense in any way? (work study, grants etc.) You live in an oil rich state with a small...

  9. Union gave away random drug testing

    Buyer beware replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I must agree with your observation Emergent. In attempting to shed some light on this slow attrition of membership autonomy it has been my experience that the Union at least initially has the effect...

  10. University of Um Nursing Acceptance Rate

    Buyer beware replied to angels2296's topic in Florida Nursing

    No anecdotal information here except that a few nursing students I knew and my primary care physician all went there and are lovely intellegent people. (collegescorecard.ed.gov) paints an expensive...

  11. Can a medical assistant inject local anesthetic in FL?

    Buyer beware replied to LP_Collins's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm sorry but we've been told we are not to give medical advice. For that I would ask the administrator of your facility and only if he/she posesses a MBA or some other advanced

  13. Molloy 4 year nursing program

    Buyer beware replied to bf508's topic in School, College Programs

    I would wait. Molloy is a reputable school but as you know up-there expensive. I'm not sure where you are with the prerequisites but if your taking them at nearby Nassau Community College I would...

  14. What is "The Nursing Model?"

    Buyer beware replied to RNDude2012's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes. It's an inane attempt to differentiate nursing from all other healing arts that has no practical or theoretical place in the 3D space we know as sensory reality that is perceived through all the...

  15. Looking for nursing school

    Buyer beware replied to brooke2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Accelerated programs are for people who have a backgroung in nursing already. Associate degree nurses and LPNs tend to do well because most are already steeped in the lingo and nuts and bolts of...

  16. Help! I am desperate!

    Buyer beware replied to Winterblue09's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Folks. I don't mean to harp on this issue but you have to nail down the preceptor situation way before you get there. Most programs require ~ 700-720 hrs. The schools are getting off cheap and being...

  17. School Nurse is a Lonely job

    Buyer beware replied to TaylsRN's topic in School

    You should read "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" by Carson McCullers. It is considered to be in the Southern Gothic genre of literature. She wrote it when she was 23 ( her first) and proves that even...

  18. CRNA Abusive, disruptive HELP!

    Buyer beware replied to Dani T's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Yes but follow the money. Atilla has been there for 5 years and in that time has probably run off her share of nurses. Someone is supporting this malevolence because she's operating with a "I'm...

  19. How are high patient-to-nurse ratios affecting overall care?

    Buyer beware replied to lcortiza0318's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The generalized answer is self evident to those who work short. And conversely a disingenuous bewilderment to those whose primary concern is the bottom line. Next time suggest to your teacher not to...

  20. Capella or chamberlain?

    Buyer beware replied to Rntony320's topic in General Students

    These are both for-profit schools.They are expensive but being expensive is not necessarlly a deal breaker. The real red light is that they both require "arbitration" agreements to be signed as a...

  21. Have some concerns, please help me out

    Buyer beware replied to DSparky's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Sparky, I had to chuckle when you sort of qualified "screw ups" in terms of "seriously serious" screwups. Even with your present layman's knowledge, I think you gave a good example of one though....
