   ccuRN24 replied to steffyh's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I've been trying to look for focus groups here and there (I need to get on a list for someone to call so I can do them more often). I just did one on albumin and they interviewed me for a little over...

   ccuRN24 replied to jessjones92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   First semester you take 4 classes - patho/pharm, nursing skills, nursing history, and nursing concepts. This semester you really need to hit the ground running - it's A LOT of work. I used to come...

4. Need Honest Answers

   ccuRN24 replied to ccuRN24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   What kinds of jobs can ACNP have that aren’t in hospital? Maybe urgent care? I have always thought I’d go back to school to be a provider, just not this soon. But you’re right I will definitely...

   Thank you for your input! I do really like cardiology and was thinking maybe a clinic position as there aren’t a lot of inpatient cardiology NP positions at my hospital (they are beginning to make...

   ccuRN24 replied to ccuRN24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   This is good to know! I will definitely stay per diem at my current job (assuming I would be allowed to - I don’t see why not) so I can still do some bedside critical care. I just no longer want it...

9. Need Honest Answers

   ccuRN24 replied to ccuRN24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Totally agree with both being respectable positions! I love critical care, but I know I wont love it at the NP level. Plus, my hospital doesn't even have NPs in our units (only PAs in cardiac...

    ccuRN24 replied to ccuRN24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi everyone! I'm thinking about going back to school, but have so many questions and no one in my personal or work life to ask. I'd also like some brutally honest answers on what you think. I...

    ccuRN24 replied to julicabr6731's topic in Nursing Career

    I recently graduated and passed my NCLEX and have a job lined up. I took two weeks off around the holidays to just relax and not think about nursing. I had access to Hurst, Kaplan, and UWorld....

    ccuRN24 replied to SLRN27's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I know I was like that's the whole summer depending on when we start! I'm not sure if we aren't guaranteed a job until 2 weeks in or just a unit? So nerve wracking! Also if it starts the 5th that's a...
