I completed a 12-month accelerated nursing program and followed it up with a 1-year critical care RN fellowship at a Level-I trauma center. I am currently working as a nurse practitioner.

Every NP program is different. I did a local program that was designed to be competed in 3 years, and the school required that it be completed in a maximum of 5 years. Working days would have been easier, but I worked full-time 12-hour night shifts...
They paid for my MS a couple of years ago. I guess that the policy could've changed, but I never heard that I had to stay for 2 years. The policy is in Healthport though. Also, keep in mind that the accelerated program is beyond intense. Most peo...
I suppose that I'll answer my own question so that it's available for others in the future. The transfer center facilitates patient transfers between two facilities, typically hospitals. Everywhere does thing differently, but this is how we do it w...

Hello Tina Rose Well don't feel too bad, I did the same thing. B.S. in Legal Studies with the intention of eventually going to law school. I was lucky to figure out that I didn't want to be a lawyer before I finished undergrad. I worked as a paral...
So far, so good. I have no complaints about the program, it seems manageable and I believe that I made the right decision. I really don't have much to say yet since I'm only two weeks into the program. Please post or PM me your questions and I woul...
The first place you should start volunteering is in a hospital. If there is a university hospital or another large hospital nearby, that's where you should go. That is because many large hospitals have a large variety of volunteering duties. These ca...
