3. M/s tele now want ICU position

   laRN1 replied to laRN1's topic in MICU

   I'm not 100% sure when I will move but I think it will be fall 2015. The fnp will be mostly online with 1-2 visits to campus (max) or if I get into the school I want (twice during the entire program). I plan to start on a part-time basis and we'll ...

   laRN1 replied to laRN1's topic in MICU

   At this point, they are equally important. I would likely stay in ICU about 3 years but not all of them in the same hospital...I know. I'm planning to move to Texas and I would like to have marketable skills while I'm finishing up my fnp program....

   laRN1 replied to marta02225's topic in Critical

   Question for you hollykristinxo. Do you know why your manager prefers new grads? I'm assuming she prefers them over experienced nurses. Just wondering because I have 9 years experience and having a tough time getting a job in the icu at my hospita...

   Hi. I've seen some posts about transitioning into the ICU. Here's my scenario. Over the next 2 years, I would like to first leave m/s tele (9 years experience) and then start an online fnp program (have my BSN). I have two kids. I have applied to...

   laRN1 replied to daniellebrown03's topic in NP Students

   Thanks zmansc. I want to know how these folks decided upon Simmons over schools like Frontier. So far I have only found one downside to Frontier and that is the program's focus on rural nursing. Did anyone here consider Frontier? Thanks!

11. Did your school's reputation affect getting hired?

    laRN1 replied to laRN1's topic in NP Students

    Thanks everyone for your feedback. Yes, number one priority for me is to learn so I can be the best I can be out there with my patients. It makes me breathe easier that the school name matters minimally. I think I will go for it and attend Frontie...

    Hi Jollie and OCRN3, I'm also thinking of applying to this program for a few reasons. Did you end up liking the whole program? Would you recommend it? I'm interested in their FNP program. How long it did it take you? Do you feel like you had the...

    laRN1 replied to ValerieJobe's topic in NP Students

    Hi SamRNmedic, Just curious because I'm also intrigued by Frontier. What makes Frontier your top choice? I am trying to do some research before I commit. Do you know alumni who have had no trouble getting hired? I'm interested in their FNP progra...

14. Did your school's reputation affect getting hired?

    laRN1 posted a topic in NP Students

    Hi there. I'm curious if anyone had any trouble getting hired to their job of choice because their degree was online vs. from a traditional school? Or, if you went to a lesser known school than an Ivy league school? I am seriously considering atten...

    Hi. Can someone point me to a couple threads that discuss considerations regarding moving from the U.S. to Canada as an RN? What are the differences in practice, pay, benefits? What's life like for a nurse in Canada? I speak English, Spanish and v...
