I don't understand the source of the issue. I'm no guru or some super badass nurse. but I've been offered countless jobs coming from wood works just by posting my resume on indeed and LinkedIn. Apply to a residency and sign your 2 year contract. Guaranteed income for 2 years. Good luck :)

Dumb question but what does escorting have to do with nursing? It's two separate professions. There's nothing wrong with being an escort :)

Nurses gets sick too. People act like nurses don't need eat piss or cry. Listen hospitals will run just fine with or without. If you need to call out just do it appropriately.

Idk if other facilities have this but at a previous facility I worked at the nurse would pull said medication and when scanned it had the option to put administered by physician for sedatives and such. But the doc did not actually push the med. Not right

We literally have all of the power

Off topic but it sad that nursing working conditions are unsafe oppressing and discouraging. Veteran nurses just take this as a reality and cope versus new nurses see beyond the stresses and unsafe conditions, job satisfaction Is just as important. Nurses need to unify and demanding better. WE LITERALLY RUN THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM but have no real pull of the strings. We are a fractured profession.

I emailed the CCNE 2 weeks ago ago to see how true this is and the real details about the Sawyer Initiative in relation to current NP programs and haven't heard anything back yet. The Sawyer Initiative is real and thank God SOMEONE stood up for NP students. I feel like current nursing amd NP education has the most lax standards since there is no uniformity whatsoever. Unfortunately my faith is the CCNE is nil as it is just another nursing bureaucracy (my opinion) and the initiative will take time to become an official statute. I hope that it does follow through but I doubt schools will apply this new ruling immediately. I'm sure they have some excuse or if a student complains it will take forever and a day and they would been graduated from another NP school by the time a grievance processed. This should have been the standard from the beginning. SMH.... Please continue to support the initiative and demand more of the CCNE. Sawyer Initiative - A better nursing education Happy Nursing

I could rant about peeves for days I'm an ed nurse so here's my peeves 1. Too many damn family members in the room or too many rotating visitors. 2. People who abuse ems services ex mild rash, stubbed toe, sprained ankle then family shows up immediately after ems.... 3.parents who dont medicate their children then you give them tylenol or motrin then they bi*** and say I could have given that at home or is that all your gonna give her for her fever?? 4.parents who are on the phone instead of consoling their children, or having half dressed children with no shoes or shirts 5.patients who cuss, talk too much or try to flirt 6.patients who are so sick that they need the remote blanket snacks and pillow 5s after you triage them 7.patients who dont know their meds but are a&o independent but IQ of 3 8.family who is so overly concerned for their loved one buy wont do anything for them or come pick up their loved one 9.patients who 10.families who make a huge scene after a death for example pt expires during a code daughter runs thru the triage knocking people over screaming at the nurses station demanding to see the deceased and know what the cause of death when foul play has yet to be ruled out. Needless to say she was escorted away by security. Another one was a son wanting to see his mother and I insisted that I cannot allow that until the physician has discussed their impression of cause of death and he cussed me out. 11.man babies 12.patients who of age and have their mummy and daddy tend to them like their 2 it's disgusting grow the hell up 13.when patients cant talk for themselves when their totally capable and even worse when you tell the family they can speak for themselves and you need to hear it from their mouth they get an attitude 14.the patient or family with a md degree from Google university 15.the patient who changes their chief compliant when the doctor comes in. 16.the patient who tries to get their freak on in the hospital 17.the pateint who ask to go for smoke. Like no jerk you in afib chf possible pe....jeez c'mon 18.do the full work up find an abnormal result and patient signs out ama...seriously.... 18.the ladies who bring all their 8 kids with them and they need a pelvic exam.... 19.the patient whos lover had an STDs and they wanna see if they have it immediately after finding out...health Department 20.the home hcg test and the patient wants the er doc to confirm it so she can show her baby daddy...home test just as accurate. Being a nurse has opened up my eyes on how dumb and shi*** people really are. How cruel the world is and how their is no hope for humanity. Yet I still love coming to work everyday.

I give props to my medsurg nurses. They are the epicenter of health care. Working as a tech on a medsurg floor scared me away so I'm in the ed making sure patients proper before I send them up.

Your beautiful

Hello All, I'm probably going to get alot of backlash from this but what can I say. I live life on the edge. These are my thoughts on the subject. Firstly, as I browse on Allnurses occasionally, I see alot of hate towards NPs with no bedside experience. Despite being a nurse and a NP as completely different roles, several reviewers see this experience as mandatory. I can see how one can say that nursing experience can help you anticipate what to order and certain conditions but it's not an all-in-all experience to fall back on. Furthermore PAs, MDs, DO, hell even other allied health jobs don't absolutely require bedside care in order to be accepted into these programs so why be in a tizzy about NP school. I feel like is a personal matter. This notion also confirms that nurses dont even agree with the preparation that current NP schools provided. With that being said, this requirement is at the discretion at the school but I wish there was just a straight-black-and-white standard of admission requirements so this argument can dissolve. Secondly, even some brick-and-mortar NP schools have students find their own preceptor which is ludicrous and insulting. I'm paying money for experience that I have to seek out myself ... does not make sense. I can't name any other healthcare profession that does this. I'm sure someone will rebutle this but that's a 1%. NP schools should supply their own preceptors despite being online or on campus. Thirdly, raising the minimum clinical hours from a mere 500 to 1000+ will add more respect to clinical aspect of NP schooling and also give the student adequate time of exposure to practice in their the new role. NP/DNP curriculum needs dramatic reforming. The 3 P's are great. But what else can we add gross anatomy? Cadavers? I want to know what you guys think on this subject matter. I have also seen hundreds of posts on how the DNP has no clinical significance to the profession. Disclaimer *I do not have my DNP* but I will say is after looking at numerous MSN-DNP programs all the classes are just repeat masters graduate classes with varying names per campuses. I understand the doctorate is a scholarly degree but even the clinical doctorate has a bunch of "fluff". I really appreciate the new PA doctorate curriculum as it is definitely focused on scholarly aspects of improving speciality. So my question to DNP students and graduates, what would you change about the DNP program? What will become of NP education and what are nurse educators and NPs going to do to advocate for these changes? I'd love to hear reccomendations.

Where are you getting this information? What facts or data is this based off of? I'm just curious to know what online np school will just accept anybody?

Amen!!! Well said. Finally someone mentions all that bs fluff classes that are just to make extra $ off students. All school are for profit they just make $ different ways. The brick-and-mortar high horse is for resume glitter I assume. Even some brick-and-mortar programs make you find your own preceptor. Congratulations and much success :)

I call all the PAs and Practitioners "Clinician" or "Provider" so they can make their own introduction to my patient. I think mid-level is offensive. I'm a nurse would that make me low-level provider?

When people say lax admission standards are they referring to GRE? I think the GRE is going to phased out across all professions here soon as it is a standardized test that not applicable to the actual profession. I think nurse certifications related to the speciality of np like CCRN for Acute care np should be the standard for admission into a np program. Plus it puts more control and emphasis on nurse specific experience and we control the educational standards as a profession it parallels medicine (the mcat). With enough studying anyone can score well on the GRE. It doesn't matter where you go. The patient is not going to care if you went to Harvard or South. All they care about it is if you have the knowledge and the sense(emphasis on sense because that cannot be taught) to be to a great provider.
