  2. EVERYONE is going for NP these days

    Hi there, please cheer up and have patience!!!! There ARE jobs out there for NPs! When I got my RN in the mid 90s, there was a terrible downsizing in my area and many of my "wise" classmates told me to shelve my RN license. However, I do not like to...
  3. Personally, I think, nursing experience would give you a leg up when starting out, and perhaps, make a learnig curve a little less steep. However, I know people who had no prior nursing experience to becomong NPs and who did just great. Let this not ...
  4. Hi, from reading the postings here and it looks like the RN experienceto be hired as an NP is not essential. I have worked as and RN for 7 years in acute care, then took about 7 yrs. off to raise family. Now, I am back in the hospital setting (critic...

  12. Thank you for your support!
  13. I have worked there very early in my career when I was in a similar situation right after graduation: no hospital jobs for new graduates. I do not want to hurt anyone's feelings, but I swore to never go back (at least, not as a nurse, ha-ha!)
  14. Agree about the clinical part. Unfortunately, it is not being offered as a part of my refresher course. It is rather a self-paced course that is offered at a local community college. I have contacted many of the programs that do have clinical part, b...
  15. I have moved pretty far from places where I was before.... so, unfortunately, this is not an option for me. It is a good idea though.... Had I been close to my last job, I could have just gone straight to my old manager whom I adored by the way. Than...
