    Is Nursing Dangerous?

    *cringe* Sounds like some outdated technology? Everywhere I've done rotations the alarms will ring at the desk and will have a signal outside of the room and they aren't screeching at all. At one...

    Will this ever happend for me?

    Probably depends a lot on where you live, so hard to say without knowing that. It might be worth looking into ADN programs if you have difficulty getting into an RN program

    PXYIS

    It seems like in 2020 they could have something way more advanced than the Pyxis machines by now. We have had vending machines that can regulate how much you get of something for decades

    RN-BS-MN-FNP?

    I'm graduating this semester with my RN and trying to figure out my path to FNP. The state university has a RN-BS-MN program and then a separate 12 month FNP program which requires a masters to be...

    Need Honest Answers

    For what it’s worth, I have a few friends who are critical care NPs and all three of them say they wish they had gone FNP. They’ve mentioned the pediatric component of FNP and said they’d have...
