  1. Just enrolled at WCU for my RN-MSN FNP program. Anyone currently taking courses? Any advice?
  2. without a job until after new years

    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. Guar...
  3. without a job until after new years

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

    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.
  5. 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 r...
  6. Quitting the StaRN program?

    We literally have all of the power
  7. Breaching StaRN Contract

    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. ...
  8. Provide clinical sites and preceptors

    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 st...
  9. Standardization of NP Education

    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 experi...
  10. Patients & Pet Peeves

    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 immed...
  11. Why is Med-Surg so hated?

    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.
  12. Too ugly to be a nurse..?!?

    Your beautiful
  13. NP working as RN?

    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?
  14. online FNP

    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 bri...
  15. "Noctor?" Offensive title?

    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?
  16. online FNP

    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...
  17. West Coast University MSN student where are you

    In in the advanced generalist track for now becaude I wasnt sure if I wanted to be an fnp or do acute care but to be in the ed you need a fnp to be marketable. Plus I wasnt 100% sure if I wanted to do my fnp with them initally, now they are my top 3 ...

  20. Time to remove the "nurse" in APN?

    Advanced nursing degrees have become to easily accessible. We have to raise the standards in nursing education. But nursing education has become a big business....
  21. Time to remove the "nurse" in APN?

    I totally agree with you. There is this huge misconception that nursing experience can make you a better NP but how does that explain a fully competent NP with no prior bedside experience. Its a totally different way of thinking. I personally think i...
  22. Time to remove the "nurse" in APN?

    Hello All, Before we go down the road of inexperienced APN, can we acknowledge that there are several highly respectable brick-and-mortor institutions that offer these access to advanced degrees right out of nursing school post-NCLEX. In defense of t...
  23. Not having much luck finding a new grad position

    I'm sorry you're not having an easy go. Firstly, don't give up on your search because there's going to be an opening with your name on it. Secondly, you don't have to "do a year of medsurg". In my personal opinion that's just a nice way of saying you...
  24. West Coast University MSN student where are you

    I love WCU so far! MSN program is relatively fairly priced in comparison to most public and private schools. Fully accredited and I love the small class and fast response from the staff and facility .
  25. Why you shouldn't become a nurse practitioner
