Kind a side question for the people who have replied here, do most FNP programs require you to have had a certain amount of acute care experience? My goal is to become an NP, however I only did 3 months of acute care in the hospital, and I don't plan...

I don't blame you one bit on that, I would never want to be a teacher, but I do know people who have just graduated and are now teachers. However, it was hard for them to get a full time teacher gig. Do you have any desires to go forward in Psycholog...

I'm sorry about the experiences you have had. Out of curiosity may I ask, when you went back to school the first time, then stopped due to layoffs in that career, what was it that you were going to go back for? My second question is what is your othe...

I absolutely agree that the mass shootings are the outlier. I am positive most gun victims are either accidental, one to one violence or suicide. I feel like the legality of the type of guns available to the general public is the issue, not the fact ...

I can definitely see how those other things such as motorcycle accidents, and like another poster said stab wounds would be more common place. The main difference in my mind is that while these other things are much more common place these types of t...

napswithcats, Ouch 30/hr in San Diego? That seems very low in relation to rental costs, gas prices, etc,. I see all over the forums people talking about 50-60 an hour in California, but I think this is usually more like San Fran and LA. Why is San Di...

Omaha, 28 an hour for new grad.

I didn't live alone, I had a roommate, but I did work full time 8 hour shifts. My job was a medication aide in a group home and luckily for me they were flexible with what days and hours I worked. I went to a 2 year community college for my RN. I thi...

I am pretty lucky, but my nursing job allows me to wear whatever I want to work. I wake up, brush my teeth and throw on a baseball cap, shorts and a t shirt. My drive to work takes about 2 minutes max. I live in a city, but suburbs on the edge of tow...

A little preface to this is I am a fairly new nurse, I've been an RN since last July and was an LPN for about 6 months before that. I worked at a group home for developmentally disabled people for about 8 years as a med aide, then as an LPN, then for...

With spring and gorgeous weather in full effect it made me wonder, are there any permanent year round nursing jobs that allow you to be outdoors at least on some occasions? The obvious one I know of is summer camp jobs that are only part of the yea...

Oh ya, that is a good suggestion. I've thought about trying hospice nursing .

What is ACT?

I am glad I saw this topic, I hope you can get some more responses/info as I currently work for the VA system as a floor nurse and I am considering going the NP route. When I saw a job posting that had a starting salary for NP in the 60k range, I fel...

I'm looking for feedback on nurse practitioner salaries in Nebraska or a close state. I'm looking at my current employer who advertises starting salary of 61k...yet all the information I find online says 100k average. Just looking for feedback on wh...

Hello, I started working for a hospital that will pay for 100% of continuing education degrees, but of course there are stipulations that are making it difficult for me to determine what makes the most sense. The ones I'm deciding between are Maste...

Thank you. That information is helpful to me. Do you feel like nurse practitioner (even if i had to pay for it myself) would be better in terms of pay and work/life balance?

Thanks for the reply golden. Its a little difficult I guess for me to decide really between what I'd rather do just because I'm quite unsure what types of jobs I could or would get with the MSN/MBA or the leadership and management degrees. Obviously ...

While there are plenty of jobs that make way more than nurses I struggle to come up with any that are gaurenteed paychecks (not sales or commissions based) and that you can get in as short of time as a nursing degree. Many degrees for nurses are acce...

Hi all, so I am looking into continuing education and I am a new RN. I received my associates degree in May 2018 and I have been working at a small home that provides long term care for disabled persons. I know that I want to continue my education an...

Wow pretty good! Do u mind sharing what company or facility? I'm just curious as I've been interested in moving to the SW in the near future.

Hello all. I need some advice/help on the ACLS. Ive been an RN since last July and I am now taking ACLS as it is required for a new job. The new job doesn't offer the class, so I am taking it through a local college/hospital. On the 2nd day of the 2 ...

Just out of curiosity what area are you located in? A fairly in depth search in my area of the country, Omaha, Neb seems like every job I find for case management or Utilization review is saying 5+ years of acute care experience is required. I did f...

Awesome! thanks so much

This is something I would be interested in after I gain some acute care experience. I haven't seen anything on indeed.com or similar websites for any of this type of work and I live in a city of about 800k people. What specific websites can you find ...
