    Anyone having MAJOR second thoughts?!

    You wrote (a LONG time ago): I casually mentioned an interest in a PRN NP job, and my professors told me basically "no one will hire a new grad NP PRN". Is this true? Would love to hear what you actually did do. It was a few years ago since your pos...

    FNP school recommendations in Miami, FL

    Maybe try enpnetwork.com? I saw they help students find preceptors.
  3. Yes, medical campus. First floor. Double glass doors. Where the Academic Advisors are. (maybe called Registration department?) Not sure of the room number. Sorry.
  4. Not sure the application is online. Everyone I knew went to the 1st floor registration & advising department and asked for the one page application (maybe front & back?) and filled it out right there and turned it in, right there. Compared to...

    Job market for new grads

    Hello Alisabeth, Please share with me any key information regarding the full scholarship for UM's NP program. The only way I could consider UM would be to acquire a full scholarship. Was it a need-based scholarship or a merit-based (academic perfor...

  7. On the list of Universities that accept WGU.edu credits, what does the asterisk mean? usually it is some fine print, right?

    Who loves their job as an RN in the ED?

    Thanks for all the input. It helps new grads decide what unit/department is a better fit.
  9. ElixRN Thank you for your courage in sharing your story of failure and more importantly overcoming that failure to find success. You not only risked failure but also risked chastisement by sharing your experience. If everyone is "tight-lipped" about...

    CRNA with low

    Hi yogapants14, Certainly I am curious about this concept. Is it possible that some decision-makers may not accept a more "mature" SRNA? What about job prospects? Will employers hire an "older" SRNA? How do we find out these answers? OR do we choos...

    NP vs PA vs CNS

    Hi, Thank you to all who provided input as I am in the process of making decisions for my next "steps". It was a lively and sometimes heated debate. Great food for thought. FEM

    My impressions on the ER so far

    Stargazer, You have no idea how much your comments mean to me!!! "Think I'd make a great ICU or OR RN because of detail-oriented, methodical nature ... balances out my OCD nature ... good enough vs perfection". While I tend to do well on prioritizat...

    Where can I find a practice CAT exam?

    Hi, I think I opted for the "use it for a year" for $100. You can "use it for less time" (3 months? 6 months? I forget exactly) and pay less. My feedback about NCLEX 10,000 is this... it must be a competitor to Kaplan, Feuer, or other ...

    Didn't do so hot on the Kaplan Nclex sample tests

    Kimberly, THANK YOU so much for posting your scores. I've been doing high 60's low 70's on the Qbanks. And then I tried the NCLEX sample test 1 & 2 and did pretty badly 52/54. It shook me up. So I then immediately did a QBank of 50 questions and ...

    Taking NCLEX Jan 31st! Kaplan scores.

    Hi, I'm doing well on the Kaplan Qbanks. high 60's low 70s. But I really blew it on the NCLEX "Sample Tests". It seemed so much harder than the Qbanks. I thought... oh, I'm having a bad day... but just to test that theory, I did a 50 Question Qban...
