1. This is absolutely horrible!!!

   tuckers19 replied to msmith's topic in NP

   I had a similar problem. I moved to Texas for NP job. I'm glad I did. It seems the economy hasn't hit Texas as hard as other places ( I could be wrong, I've only been here 3 weeks). All my job offers and interviews were in Texas. It took very li...

2. new FNP sample resumes

   tuckers19 replied to MissDoodaw's topic in NP

   I'm a fairly new NP. I graduated in December 2008 passed my boards in April, and started job hunting with my resume that we were assigned to complete in the last semester. It flopped. I decided to totally revamp and do a CV instead. CVs are not o...

3. Recruiting Agency

   tuckers19 posted a topic in NP

   I just passed my ANCC certification exam on the 22nd! Now I'm on the search for a job. I'm pretty sure when I went into school, I found listings for FNP jobs everywhere. Now that I am looking and really need a job, there are very few. Curious has...

4. Am I limiting myself with FNP?

   tuckers19 replied to CrispyRN's topic in NP

   I think that if you don't want to limit yourself then the FNP is the way to go. Before school I was a pediatric neuro nurse. I've only wanted to work with the pediatric population so at first I thought about being a PNP. Well, after speaking with ...

5. Vent about resentment from older RNs toward NP students

   tuckers19 replied to SteveNNP's topic in NP

   I've definetly been there, but in a different manner. The older nurses were just kinda hateful because I even had the thought of going back to school. Just think of it this way "haters will hate," that's what they do. I talked to so many older nur...

6. Youngest NP?

   tuckers19 replied to tfleuter's topic in NP

   I graduated with my MSN at 25 and this was working a year as a RN before I applied to the MSN program. My first goal was to go straight from BSN to MSN without working, and decided not too. We had several students in my program to do this. I belie...

7. Talked into a career in nursing by Stephen King.

   tuckers19 replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

   This was a great article. I have not read the book, but that is one of my favorite Stephen King movies. I feel proud once again to be a nurse.

8. Six months until NP school begins -- What to do until then?

   tuckers19 replied to pugdaddy's topic in NP

   I agree with everyone who says enjoy the time. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I started my BSN or MSN program. Personally for me, I wish I would have taken a review course before my clinicals started for the NP program. I had wo...

   tuckers19 replied to nursetim's topic in NP

   So all my years of nursing school, does not compare to the frustration that I have from trying to apply for this test. I just feet like some how I was not getting the memo. I graduated Dec 5 and I still have not receieved my test authorization. It...

10. CRNAs Looking Down on NPs

    tuckers19 replied to RNbabe's topic in NP

    Totally felt that going through school. I've always wanted to be a NP since I can remember. Never wanted to be a doctor and definitely never thought about being a CRNA. Just the thought of being a CRNA is not appealing to me. To each their own. I e...
