  1. Non ICU job or bust

    Buyer beware replied to Wolf at the Door's topic in Nursing Career

    The hospitals hire nurses for the OR around school graduation dates? Why is that? Sounds like raging fiery burn out deja vu all over

  2. Love Being a Nurse: 33 Years and Going Strong

    Buyer beware replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I love me

  3. Nurse to Patient Ratio is obsolete???

    Buyer beware replied to journeygrl's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    Gee thanks ANA.

  4. Need some advice

    Buyer beware replied to AreEnd's topic in New York Nursing

    This advisor is misinformed. If all students at that school or any other were all required to get perfect grades there would be few nurses in the world. That goes for medical school too. Go to the...

  5. FNP Program Recommendations

    Buyer beware replied to Megan2428's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    And stay away from the for-profit mess to be very honest. We will see some very large players fail in 2017 and still they continue to recruit the unsuspecting even on AN. Don't forget that ITT tech...

  6. Nursing Diagnosis

    Buyer beware replied to fatoooma95's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is true but as in the ED, life limb and sight issues will get you a ticket to the front

  7. Reapplying

    Buyer beware replied to Mcl1980's topic in General Students

  9. How do i keep these cuny schools fro stealing an extra year our of my life??

    Buyer beware replied to MrShepNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    You have to balance cost with inconvience. Have patience. A small detour in your timeline won't kill you. You must realise there are a lot of people out there in a similiar situation with 10x the...

  10. If you can work here, you can work anywhere, but how true is that statement?

    Buyer beware replied to RN-dancer's topic in General Nursing

    Short answer, yes. Perhaps the more refined question should be: If you could work in Hell do you really want to work in Hades? Otherwise having all the crossover skill in the world will not save you...

  11. Nursing Certifications

    Buyer beware replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    The "gold standard" for me is the "good character" standard. Where's the certification for that or am I just being old

  12. Can you negotiate RN salary?

    Buyer beware replied to firefly443's topic in General Nursing

    OP, Would it be too obvious to say this is a supply and demand issue. Depite the education, the certification and years of experience, pay is a a proprietary issue and those books are NEVER opened to...

  13. Help :(

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

    Go to a Community College. You are in a vulnerable position right now and that makes you a prime target to get the call or email from one the for-profits offering to make all your nursing dreams come...

  14. American Career College ADN

    Buyer beware replied to joannavn's topic in California Nursing

    Just make sure you've got the unbiased details on the school. Go to (collegescorecard.ed.gov) and look at the particulars. They are expensive so also look at the CC route so you don't go to debtors...

  15. FNP preceptors in the Houston/South Houston area

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

    That's great to hear. You lucked out to a certain degree but with all the time and money involved preceptors should never be a matter of luck. The only way this situation is going to improve and...

  17. Kramer school of nursing?

    Buyer beware replied to yajaira21's topic in School, College Programs

    My friend. You have got to become a nurse as frugally as possible. Take the prerequisites one at a time at the CC, have patience and pay your way until you absolutely have to tap into loans. If you...

  18. Kramer school of nursing?

    Buyer beware replied to yajaira21's topic in School, College Programs

    My perception is that "desperation" is not a good approach to evaluating any school. "I heard that it was only sixty thousand" tells me you have no concept of money management. Your posting approach...

  19. Order that says "Don't call MD for pain meds"?

    Buyer beware replied to Summers3's topic in General Nursing

    The issue of pain control need not be approached as if it were a secret or worse yet a matter of conjecture. The physician is being a provacateur in this instance by not defining the specific reasons...

  20. Why have you decided to become a NP and not a Doctor?

    Buyer beware replied to Lightning90's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  22. Husband Wants Elderly Dad to Move In

    Buyer beware replied to Laurus Nobilis's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Ok, I must ask the questions: Where do you live? Some states are better with elderly assistance than others and that will depend on the inlaw's income. Call the Department of Elder Affairs in your...

  23. Report Descrimination

    Buyer beware replied to startingover2016's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, the spirits of Christmas past, present and future all rolled into one big "kerfluie"

  24. How to learn this stuff

    Buyer beware replied to grizun's topic in Emergency

    Don't worry about the other NP students. Many have zip experience with anything and now they're going to diagnose and treat the unsuspecting. Listen here. At least you admit you don't know what you...

  25. Amiodarone

    Buyer beware replied to Newgrad665's topic in Patient Medications

    The information available online from vetted sources can make even the most inveterate dum dum an Enstein. So put the Candy Crush aside and
