  2. Tips for New Nurse Educators

    I have accepted my first faculty position with ASN program and will start in the fall. I have been doing clinical instruction for the school and now taking it to the classroom. I am very excited but nervous at the same time. Do any of you have an...
  3. Kennesaw State University

    Attended KSU NP program and graduated 2004. I had a wonderful experience there. The worst part was the first semester and the summer semester for me. There was some talk about changing the class load around some, not decreasing the number of clas...
  4. ER NP's

    Hi Just wanted to add that in the ER that I work in the NP's and the PA's use the same sheets that the MD uses. We are currently using the t system. There is a place for the midlevel to sign as well as the MD. Works well for us.
  5. Young -- should pursue NP or MD?

  6. ICU VS. the ER?

    I promise you that there is nothing and I do mean nothing easy about working in the ER. I do also hate the "ER vs ICU" . I agree that it is entirely 2 different worlds but neither nurse is the less for it. I will say that in this crazy time of h...
  7. er or icu first?

    Alot of what will be required for you to be a well rounded flight nurse will require both ER and ICU experience. I will say that the majority of my experience came from the ER and EMS arena. Infact, having some type of EMS background gave me a comp...
  8. flight positions

    I just wanted to add that the figures quoted here by pfitz are more than a little unsettling for me too. I am glad to see the numbers and that you were so diligent to find the data to report here. How can anyone argue with data that shows that this...
  9. Teach or Practice as NP? Undecided.....

    Hi, I too was in your same situation when going back to NP school. I knew that there was going to be a time when a teaching schedule would work for me and I would be ready to get out of the ER and stop doing 12 hour shifts. I decided to do MSN with...

  11. Any NP's working for Rediclinic or Minuteclinic??

    thanks guys for your input. I had not heard about these clinics until I attended the national conference this past June. I have done some internet surfing to find about them and quite frankly sounds too good to be true. I am looking for a new pos...
  12. flight positions

    Also after reading all the threads posted here I wanted to add this piece of food for thought. I have been a nurse for 15 years,ER and flight combined. I would like for all of those folks reading this that may have an interest in flight nursing to ...
  13. flight positions

    hi, Just wanted to agree with the Army pilot that stated that if you fly long enough eventually something will happen. Look at it like this ,statistics can and will work against you at some point. I flew as a flight nurse for 4 years and flew with ...
  14. working your way through NP school

    Hi, Yes, it 's possible to work full time and complete NP program. I worked full time and was able to get clinical time in but it was very time consuming and did require some planning ahead, like months at a time. Saving your PTO time is a great id...
