   PhilGN replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Men

   A few months ago when I was in precepting, the manager of the unit stopped me in the afternoon one day when my preceptor was talking to me and said "You're a student nurse? This whole time I've been thinking you're one of the new podiatrists." She sa...

3. How Long Should I Work as a New Grad?

   PhilGN posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm a nursing student right now, and I've started looking at things to do once I graduate. One of the things I was looking at was the Peace Corps. I'm guessing it wouldn't be the best thing to just start the Peace Corps as soon as I graduate and take...

   I was wondering if anyone in here has worked in any of the British prisons, and if so what its like. I'm also curious how open they are to hiring nurses from other countries.

   PhilGN replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in California

   No problem at all.Physio at delta may be hard, but the hard work really pays off in the end. It's very good prep for pharmacology. A lot of the Delta nursing students took nursing at other colleges, and a lot of them aren't doing as well in pharm. My...

   PhilGN replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in California

   Hi F4Mom. I don't have too much advice for prereqs other than what I put on here already. I took Adamson for physio and Solomowitz for psychology and I really suggest them. When the prereqs are all done but before you've gotten in, try taking HS 3. I...

    PhilGN replied to hapiyogi's topic in California

    I mean accelerated ways of getting a bachelors or masters in nursing if you have a bachelors in another field and an associates in nursing. All of the programs for nursing I've seen in the area are a minimum of two years, like the associates program....

    Nursejewels, despite taking that long, was the process itself very easy? And did you look for a job first, or start the visa process?

13. FNP and PA?

    PhilGN replied to PhilGN's topic in NP

    I thought the programs were different. They have different admission requirements for each program, and they say RNs have the option of getting certified as PAs. Do you know anyone whos gotten both? I'm just really curious how that works out, if they...

14. FNP and PA?

    PhilGN posted a topic in NP

    I saw on the UC Davis website that their medical school has a FNP program that is done with a PA program, and if you're in the FNP program and take a few extra classes, they'll give you the PA certificate of completion as well. This doesn't make much...

    Just another US to AUS question, can you only make the move as an RN, or can NPs and other types of nurses apply for registration as well?
