1. Does anyone practice in a cardiology outpatient setting?

   Dumplins replied to cardsFNP's topic in NP

   Hi! I worked with a cardiologist for about 2 years. It was my first job out of graduate school. I had Tele experience as an RN so I'm sure that helped a bit. He pretty much trained me and told me everything I needed to know and was always a phonecall...

2. Is it possible to go through fnp program online and have newborn and toddler?

   Dumplins replied to *Butterfly8*'s topic in NP Students

   I agree with everyone else. It seems as if you have a great support system. Better than most. I know many people in my program went through similar situations and they made it out ok. Most of them sticking to Part Time for school.

4. Cardiac Nurse Practitioners

   Dumplins replied to MeechiesRNBSN's topic in NP

   I'm a new graduate and just started officially training with him on 4/18/16. I had about 2 weeks of training of shadowing him and seeing patients in the office. I'd then round with him at the hospitals and found it to be quite easy. Most of what we a...

5. No FNP jobs????

   Dumplins replied to morglan's topic in NP

   I agree, you should definitely be reaching out directly to doctor's via email or in person. I try to search to see if the office has a website and an email address. In that, I write a nice cover letter and attach my resume. In person visit to drop o...

6. No FNP jobs????

   Dumplins replied to morglan's topic in NP

   Yes I agree with the others. If you're in a very saturated area, it'll be very difficult. Where are you located? I'm in the NJ/NY area. It can get pretty competitive, but there are definitely new grad openings from time to time. I'd look to relocate...

7. Nursing Experience FNP

   Dumplins replied to hdhnurse's topic in Advanced

   My experience as an RN helped me land my interview for a Cardiology NP position. So I'd say it definitely helps. Especially as a new graduate, you need all the experience you could get.

8. Cardiac Nurse Practitioners

   Dumplins replied to MeechiesRNBSN's topic in NP

   I just started a position as a new grad FNP with a Cardiologist. I was a Telemetry Nurse for 3 years so I think that helped. Otherwise i'm sure they'd prefer an Acute Care NP. So far it has been great and I'm learning a lot. My day pretty much consis...

9. HELP CHOOSING JOB OFFERS! Cardiology vs Endocrine

   Dumplins replied to Dumplins's topic in NP

   Thanks for all of your suggestions! Sorry I didn't get to reply to this sooner. I ended up going with the Cardiology offer because of my gut. It was more because the field of Cardiology is a lot less specific than Endocrinology and I figured it would...

10. HELP CHOOSING JOB OFFERS! Cardiology vs Endocrine

    Dumplins posted a topic in NP

    Hello everyone! I'm stuck choosing between two job offers that seem fairly even to me. I was curious as to which one you guys would choose/recommend. Endocrine NP - This job would be at an outpatient facility that is affiliated with the nearby hospit...

11. Which NP specialty is most in demand?

    Dumplins replied to portx's topic in NP

    dont choose a specialty due to demand. choose one that you love! specialty demand will change from time to time and from location to location. i think overall, psych is currently ruling in demand. and it's also one of the higher paying specialties. ...

12. Failed AANP what Next?

    Dumplins replied to Jackzoloe's topic in NP Students

    it's hard to tell you where to go from here with little information. i think a good first step is to see what areas you lack in first and brush up on those. from your study routine, it seems clear that you've done ample amounts of questions as well ...

13. derm & aesthetic NPs

    Dumplins replied to paul3489's topic in NP

    I am currently in a job hunt for a Derm NP position. I know it'll vary from geographic location, but I can touch on how it is over here in New Jersey. There is a fairly even mix of New Grad derm jobs and experience derm jobs. The majority of Derm pra...

14. The lesser of 2 annoyances

    Dumplins replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in Advanced

    I would say B and continue looking while at Job B. Unless there's some sort of long term contract. Because you have a husband, it is important to take his wants/needs into consideration. If you have more money from job A, it'll be balanced out by you...

15. HELP Accepting DERM NP offer!

    Dumplins replied to Dumplins's topic in NP

    Thanks for everyone's input. I decided to not go with the position. For the main reason that the 4 year commitment was way too long and the fact that I didn't need to go into Derm 100000%. I am a new grad and pretty flexible with what specialty to go...
