   That simply is not true. If the change even happens, MSN prepared NPs will be grandfathered in. There is no evidence that acquiring a DNP degree either after certification (MSN-DNP) or as initial education for certification as an NP has any impact on...

2. New Grad positions in Philadelphia

   The_Salty_Cat replied to RowRN5's topic in Job Hunt

   The job market in Philadelphia is not great right now. Hahnemann closed earlier this year and a lot of the experienced nurses are still trying to get jobs. I would ask your clinical preceptors for recommendations or if they could refer you to an unit...

   The_Salty_Cat replied to Glal2's topic in School Programs

   The_Salty_Cat replied to Glal2's topic in School Programs

   Nope! A lot of us left because we did not want to enter the DNP with 6 figure debts. There are other schools outside of NYC that are more affordable. You can look into other states.

   I am not sure who told you that, but that is the rare option. I cannot recall anyone in my cohort who had this option. Some hospitals are decreasing tuition reimbursement as we speak and you do not know what will happen when you graduate in October 2...

   The_Salty_Cat replied to Glal2's topic in School Programs

   My classmates and I recently completed the MDE program and it was not all that pretty. The reality is, you will take a long time to pay back the loans, especially when you begin to work and your coworkers went to BSN programs and graduated with minim...

10. UC Davis Nurse Residency Program Fall 2019

    The_Salty_Cat replied to aspiringnurse10's topic in New Nurse

    What kind of incidents with previous ICU new grads? I feel like if this were the case, HR would have said something or posted a statement on the website. Not sure how true this is..

    HR says they're overwhelmed by screening the applications so they aren't taking calls right now.
