1. Is there a place for me?

   awilliamsesu replied to Shannonv5's topic in General Nursing

   You can do therapy as a Psych NP.

2. Interim?

   awilliamsesu replied to awilliamsesu's topic in School

   Just wanted to give an update. So I did end up getting offered the job (it was permanent position, floating from school to school as needed, but home base would have been a high school), but unfortunately I had to turn it down. I have an afternoon jo...

3. Interim?

   awilliamsesu replied to awilliamsesu's topic in School

   Thanks for the info! Now that I think about it, the nurse who interviewed me did mention they had several nurses retiring soon.

4. Interim?

   awilliamsesu posted a topic in School

   I recently posted that I had just interviewed with my local district. They called yesterday and offered me a 2nd interview (woohoo!) for an interim position. I figured the HR lady would have specified if it was a sub position, but not sure if they us...

5. Where are all of the Burn Unit nurses hiding?

   awilliamsesu replied to Cisabel's topic in Burn

   Hello there! I've been a burn nurse for a little over a year. Just went per diem recently in preparation for going back for my MSN. My burn center sees both adults and peds patients. Do you have any specific questions?

   I graduated in August 2015. We had a guy in my class move back to Cali. He stopped talking to us, not sure if he ever found a job. Those of us that stayed in PA, we all got jobs; most of us got our top choice job especially if your GPA was decent (&g...

7. Would outpatient be a good fit for me?

   awilliamsesu replied to awilliamsesu's topic in General Nursing

   There are multiple outpatient opportunities available within my network, so I'm assuming the roles would depend on the speciality. We have a few openings in neuro, cardiac, family/internal medicine, express care, peds, and ob/gyn.

8. Would outpatient be a good fit for me?

   awilliamsesu replied to awilliamsesu's topic in General Nursing

   I totally understand about the unexpected events of an outpatient job, but I feel like it would be a different kind of stress versus "Page the resident, this patient needs an arterial line and central line placed and possibly bilateral lower escharot...

9. Would outpatient be a good fit for me?

   awilliamsesu posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm a BSN-prepared nurse that has been working in a specialty ICU since Oct 2015 with no other nursing experience before that. I work nights right now and I don't think I could handle the pace of day shift in ICU or even on med-surg (I have thought a...

    There is a research course that you take in the Fall semester.

    awilliamsesu replied to Jks322's topic in School Programs

    Jks322, we took pharmacology over the summer but our curriculum doesn't include pathophysiology. We've had some great professors and some not so great professors - you'd get that in any program though. The content is pretty much just right from the t...

    Hey there! I am a current student in the ABSN program. So far, our clinicals have been with Lehigh Valley Health Network, St Lukes, Good Shephard, and Sacred Heart. We also have a few other hospitals we could be rotated to (Easton and Grand View I be...

13. BS to Nurse Practitioner Route

    awilliamsesu replied to Patel.94's topic in NP Students

    You should look into direct-entry MSN programs. With most, you get a BSN and MSN. Some (like Boston College) give you an RN and MSN (no BSN). I wish I had taken this route, as I knew for a few years now that FNP is my career goal. I'm currently in an...

14. Georgetown FNP 2014

    awilliamsesu replied to ARNPstudent14's topic in Florida

    ARNPstudent14, I was wondering if you would mind answering a few questions about your experience applying to Georgetown? I will be in a similar boat as you next year.

15. DeSales University Accelerated BSN '14-'15

    awilliamsesu replied to AndreaMarie3's topic in General Students

    I can't believe how fast time has been going. I'm also excited for the upcoming Meet and Greet! I've also been working through the recent checklist. I've still got to CLEP out of a pre-req (Lifespan Psych) so I've been studying for that. I do have Fa...
