1. Why are preceptors not provided in MSN programs?

   Soon2bAGNP replied to Lajimolala's topic in NP Students

   This policy makes no sense to me. One of the reasons I chose my school was because it arranged preceptors (the other being its great local reputation). It is one of only two schools near me that does this -- unbelievable. It is absolutely ridiculo...

   Congrats!!! Good luck in your new position.

3. Seeking a preceptor

   Soon2bAGNP replied to chibuike1's topic in NP Students

   Try your local NP organization. The one here in Ohio lists preceptor needs on their website and Facebook pages. Good luck in your search....finding a preceptor should not be the hardest part of NP school....sadly, it often is.

4. Are textbooks this expensive????

   Soon2bAGNP replied to 2015's topic in NP Students

   It is the same exact material including the chapters and page numbers. I was afraid to purchase one until a friend of mine told me she does it all the time and never had an issue. I had no problems.

5. Are textbooks this expensive????

   Soon2bAGNP replied to 2015's topic in NP Students

   Great point...one book I needed was $150. Found the international version on eBay for $40. No difference in the content. Although sometimes the pictures are in black and white.

6. Private duty lpn, rn supervisor??

   I live in Ohio and serve as a supervisor for several medicaid IP LPNs. The RN is responsible for performing an initial visit to develop the poc/485 and obtaining doctor's orders. S/he must also perform supervisory visits every 60 days and renew the...

7. Anyone NOT work as a bedside RN while in school?

   Soon2bAGNP replied to AlphaPig's topic in NP Students

   This job kind of fell into my lap. I have an independent provider number for Ohio Medicaid. They list all IPs on their website which enables potential clients to reach out to you if they are interested. My client is not a medicaid recipient (priva...

8. Anyone NOT work as a bedside RN while in school?

   Soon2bAGNP replied to AlphaPig's topic in NP Students

   Have you thought about private duty? I took on a case when I started school and love it. After I take care of his needs, it leaves me with plenty of down time to work on class assignments. It was the best decision I made as I am usually able to ge...

10. New Grad RN got a job offer for homecare nursing but only 1 day orientation?

    Soon2bAGNP replied to katherine86's topic in Home Health

    My first HH job provided me with 2 weeks orientation and I was not a new nurse. I would have been scared out of my mind to be in your position. As a brand new nurse, there is no way I could have done this job with only one day orientation. But unf...

11. Nurse with anxiety/depression

    Soon2bAGNP replied to nursepenelope's topic in Home Health

    I can relate to your post. I have suffered from anxiety my whole life. Up until the past few years, its was manageable. After it started affecting my sleep and BP and me trying all kinds of herbal supplements, I finally went to see a psychiatrist....

14. Are you, or have you ever been an APN student?

    Good luck to you !! I am sure you made the right decision.

15. Are you, or have you ever been an APN student?

    Soon2bAGNP replied to pacnwRN's topic in NP Students

    I agree. The market does appear to be saturated and the school you attend may very well be the one advantage you have over another applicant. Cost should a factor when making a determination as to what program you will attend, but it should not be th...
