   If you already have an MSN, do you need another MSN specifically in informatics?

   NTPinky replied to NTPinky's topic in Informatics

   The thing that turns me away from UX is all the programs I've looked at seem to only focus on design, whereas I'm more interested in the UX Research side.

   Hi Lisa, Thanks so much! I've narrowed my choices down to a few informatics programs. But now I'm also getting interested in UX research, since I do a lot of pt education and am always looking for ways to make pt education materials more us...

   NTPinky posted a topic in Informatics

   Hi all, I already have an MSN (focus in public health) and have been thinking about getting into informatics. Since I already have an MSN, do I need to do another one specifically in informatics or is it OK to just do a certificate program? My B...

   Bored with my job, now what?

   NTPinky posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi all, I feel like I've hit a wall professionally. I'm 43, have been an RN for 10 yrs (my second career, before that I was a technical writer), mostly in the outpatient setting as a diabetes educator. I work for a big HMO and feel stuck, there's no ...

   Hi all, I was originally accepted into 3 different FNP distance education programs: Gonzaga, Frontier, and George Washington University. I finally decided on Gonzaga, but health issues made me defer enrollment twice. My health has improved, but now I...

   NTPinky replied to NTPinky's topic in NP Students

   Wow! You're my hero :) Depending on the school I get into I may not be starting clinicals right away, so that's a plus as I'd have some time to prepare and figure out my schedule... oh and accrue more PTO :) Thanks for sharing your story!

    Anyone here work FT and doing an NP program??

    NTPinky replied to NTPinky's topic in NP Students

    Thanks for the encouragement. I'm in an outpatient clinic so it's a M-F schedule. I know of other clinics that are open on weekends and/or evenings, I'd have to find out if they accept NP students to do clinicals there.

    NTPinky replied to NTPinky's topic in NP Students

    I'd definitely do NP school part-time if working full-time... I doubt I could do both full-time. Thanks for your feedback! :)

    NTPinky posted a topic in NP Students

    There aren't any part-time jobs in my area so I'm stuck with full-time. I'd love to be an FNP and have several online programs I'd like to apply to, but I'm worried about pulling off both work and school, but I'm single and don't have kids so I'd hav...

    New nurse's daughter just diagnosed with Type 1

    NTPinky replied to bandas's topic in Endocrine

    I don't understand how if you just got passed the NCLEX in February, how you were allowed to take the CDE exam? Before you even apply for the exam you have to have spent at least 2 years doing diabetes education, plus have a minimum of 1000 hours of ...
