Hi, any nurses here go to Chamberlain for FNP? If so, what was your experience? Did you feel prepared for the clinicals and when you graduated?

Hi, anyone here going to Chamberlain? I'm enrolled in their FNP program and thought it would be nice to connect with others in the program or NPs that went through the program. Thanks:)

I am only stating my opinion about the exam at the end of the NP Program, but I am still going through the program so I will have the opportunity of experiencing the exam at the end. I will be sure to get more information on the exam as well. I know ...

OK, hybrid or not, what I mean is Chamberlain offers the flexibility to complete classes online and the clinical portion is hands-on. If the boards don't mean anything, then are you saying that all NPs who pass the boards are really not adequate beca...

OK, I respect your opinion. So you are saying that hybrid NP programs are all bad and do not meet up with the standards of in-person programs? Just want to clarify. Also, all NPs take the same test to get their licensure in the end..right? I would as...

Hi, you seem to be very angry about this. What happened that made you this upset about this school? Can you please provide a detailed reason behind your statement? I chose this online NP Program because of its flexibility. I like that the MSN c...

Hi, I am curious about the exams you took. Were they for FNP? I'm researching NP tracks. Thank you:)

Hi, I'm an RN and I am applying to Northshore University Healthcare system in Evanston IL. If work there as an RN, how do you like it? I know most hospitals are understaffed but what are the pros and cons of Northshore? Typical interview questions? ...

Hi, I'm applying to Amita Health in Hinsdale IL, and wondering if anyone works there and how they like working for this facility? Also, how is the interview process? What questions did they ask? I'm so nervous but I can't hide at home forever:/

Hi, I didn't apply to Advent Health but still looking for a nursing position.

Hi, I've worked as an RN since 2011 in various areas such as triage, sub-acute, and acute care. I don't necessarily have 11 years of consecutive experience, but condensed, I have 5-6 years of solid nursing experience. Anyway, I'm in the FNP program r...

I remember an interviewer asking me "Describe a typical day on the Med Surg unit". LOL.. I don't really remember what I said but I know it was a difficult question to answer for me because there was never a "typical" day. Every day was different and ...

Hi, I'm thinking about applying for an ICU position but I have been away from the bedside for almost two years. I worked for two years in Medical-Surgical. I'm not sure what type of interview questions to expect aside from the basic "tell me about yo...

Hi, I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on what I need to do in order to return to the bedside and get into critical care. My last nursing position was in 2020 in the PCU. I was only there for 4 months to help with Covid patients. Anyway, I've...

Hi, thank you for your feedback. Argh, I really want to apply but I am terrified! I only have two years of MS and I have been away from the bedside for almost 2 yrs. What type of interview questions do you think they will ask? My lack of interview sk...

Thank you Thank you for your advice! I think I will work full time to get my experience and then switch it up to either part time or PRN to get FNP done faster. 🙂

I'm going to apply to PCU and ICU, and go from there. I guess there is only one way to find out:)

Hi, I've been away from bedside since Aug 2020, and I want to start applying for nursing positions, but I don't want to use my previous job as a reference. I've worked at my previous job from 2015-17 as a MS nurse and April 2020 to Aug 2020 (Temp pos...

I haven't applied to any acute care positions yet, I'm eliminating myself based on the position requirements or preference. I should try applying first

Hi, I'm hoping that I can get some advice on how I can return to bedside nursing. My long term goal is to become AGACNP. I've worked as a M/S nurse from 2015 to 2017. I return from 2019 for four months. I have not worked since then. I am not sure wha...

I was told FNP is the way to go because it would be easier to find a position. I would think an FNP can work in the role of AGPC-NP, and this would saturate this area as well.

I am in the same situation. I have reached out to recruiters and agencies and they all told me to get at least 6 months to a year of floor nursing so that I can travel.

Yes, but I was told that employers don't really look at that. I will take it if helps. I might just do it while looking for a job.
