Taking an ADN program at a community college I thought would be no big deal too. ? Fortunately I love my school and it turned out to be one of the preferred schools for employers - but I just kind of...
I'm still an extern, so I'm just asking this out of curiosity: Do they give you a chance to take a drug test or anything in a situation like this? I would think if it was a one-time occurrence and...
*cringe* Sounds like some outdated technology?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...
I pulled a muscle picking up my toothbrush yesterday, so ?♂️ ? Seriously though just do things the way you were taught. Get in the habit of raising the bed. My hospital has ceiling lifts in...
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
We are required to pass (with no more than 2 wrong) a math test the first week of every semester and there are always a few who struggle with it and have to do the retakes, but I don't think we've...
I've talked to people in hospital HR in my area and they basically told me there are 3 schools in the area they put on top of the pile, and the rest go to the bottom. Some schools are harder than...
I mean, is there a downside to reapplying? Worst case scenario they say no. Since you left out most of the story it's hard to give more specific advice than

^^ This. You can't always give people what they want, but you can usually give them a couple of other choices. They still get to feel in control by having a choice, and they don't feel like you are...
That's not always true - it probably varies by state, and it definitely varies by circumstances. In the case of a nurse helping out in an emergency, I can't imagine it wouldn't be covered... but then...
I'm guessing they will say something about unauthorized overtime - you might want to arm yourself with the overtime policy before you go to the manager. Also if it were me I would call HR first and...
Find a program you can afford so you don’t become another person we see on the news with $200k in debt from a bachelors degree they will never pay off. That may mean a traditional program that...
So the person I emailed at the state university said I have to get accepted to the BSN program, then I can apply for the RN-BS-MN. The MN portion isn't a FNP though, it looks like you have to do an...
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...
