1. Lied to by new employer

   tellabella21 replied to Mrod11411's topic in NP

   As a new NP it maybe harder for you to find a new job so if your really unhappy I would look for something else before resigning. But you never know the new provider...who and whenever they start maybe great and you may love your job again. I live in...

2. Haunted by my past...What are my options?

   tellabella21 replied to MathewB's topic in NP Students

   Does Kaplan have an FNP program in your state? They are fairly easy to get into. I would just keep trying. If a school turns you down ask for an interview to explain. Sometimes it takes putting a real person behind a transcript. After reading some of...

3. DEA license, apply now or when offered a job?

   tellabella21 replied to flipper628's topic in NP

   I know what you are talking about. As an RN I've always received an offer for every job that I applied for. As an NP I received a fair amount of offers for part-time work, (some where kind of ridiculous... one day a week position) every full-time job...

4. DEA license, apply now or when offered a job?

   tellabella21 replied to flipper628's topic in NP

   Flipper, like you I thought I had a job, two in fact, lined up for me when I completed my NP program. One employer had to the the fill the position sooner and the other one gave me a similar excuse as the one that was given to you. I'm finding that e...

6. I want to give up, but also don't...ya know?

   tellabella21 replied to melialea's topic in Job Hunt

   I think that you should fake it until you make it. Get come confidence and start applying to any and every job. As a new grad it is HARD to fine employment. Your 1st job might be something that you really dislike. It make take you a LONG time to find...

7. Want to get a DNP but need help with a research project

   tellabella21 replied to tellabella21's topic in Doctoral

   Yes. In my MSN I had to complete a research project. I completed my MSN about 4 years ago and the topic is not relevant to where I'm at today. I do thank everyone who has replied to my question because it has allowed me to really think about what I w...

8. What/why do they say our classes are fluff?

   tellabella21 replied to AAC.271's topic in Doctoral

   I maybe one of the only ones but I do think all of those classes are important in some way. With that said I don't think I need a whole semester about research methodology, advanced research utilization, nursing theory, etc.

9. Want to get a DNP but need help with a research project

   tellabella21 replied to tellabella21's topic in Doctoral

   Do you find is easy to balance school, work, and family life by taking 1-2 classes a semester? That is the type of program that I chose to use and on paper it seems easy enough I just hope I don't have a rude awakening!

10. Want to get a DNP but need help with a research project

    tellabella21 replied to tellabella21's topic in Doctoral

    That's kinda what I'm expecting from my DNP program. I start in two days and I feel the degree maybe pointless besides being able to say "I did it" and when it is all said and done that is important to me. But to be fair, that is how I felt in my MSN...

11. Frustrated in Ontario PHC NP program

    tellabella21 replied to soon_to_be_PHCNP's topic in Post Graduate

    Wow, that is a lot to take at once! I completed my FNP and was only allowed to take 2 courses per term which was full time. I took patho and health assessment in the same term and felt like it killed me. If you could take less I would advise it but i...

12. LTC FNP

    tellabella21 replied to Redlab1's topic in Advanced

    I know some LTC NPs and would agree with traumaRUs,that they take calls for two faculities. I am not sure about the pay though. Beside the call rotation the work hours are 8-5.

13. Want to get a DNP but need help with a research project

    tellabella21 replied to tellabella21's topic in Doctoral

    I think that a lot of the problem is that college has become big profits for universities. Professors are hired to fill a spot, as I experienced in my FNP program, and don't really have much of a say so in how the class is formatted. At least that ha...

    tellabella21 posted a topic in General Students

    To study for my exam I purchase Barkley & Associates, Inc. home study course, Amelie Hollier's home study and CD's and Fitzgerald's. I got them all about a year before I graduated and listened to them all the time. They helped me with school assi...

15. Want to get a DNP but need help with a research project

    tellabella21 replied to tellabella21's topic in Doctoral

    I do agree that most capstone projects are pointless. I know there are better things to go with our time. I have a MSN where I had to complete a capstone project much like the one that is required for my DNP. Its just frustrating that I have to spend...
