   CONGRATS to everyone who was accepted to the program this year! I'm recently wrapping up the first year and headed in NCLEX season and LEADS in the

2. Do NNPs on Rotating Shifts Get to Sleep on Night Shift?

   thaifood122 replied to thaifood122's topic in NICU, Neonatal

   Nope I don't jest. Almost all the job entries for NNPs I'm seeing say "rotating 12 hour shifts" so I'm wondering how exactly that works since rotating shifts are pretty universally accepted to be...

3. Do NNPs on Rotating Shifts Get to Sleep on Night Shift?

   thaifood122 replied to thaifood122's topic in NICU, Neonatal

   Thanks babyNP! That’s really helpful to know! I’m really interested in pursuing this field but all the jobs calling for rotating shifts have made me nervous about the long term effects on my own...

4. Do NNPs on Rotating Shifts Get to Sleep on Night Shift?

   thaifood122 posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

   Hey guys! I'm curious for those of you who work with NNPs on your unit doing rotating 12 hour shifts. I know NNPs working 24 hour shifts get a call room and time to sleep. What about for NNPs working...

5. Job Search At Age 61 After 2 1/2 Year Hiatus??

   Definitely definitely volunteer asap and look for networking opportunities in your area. Reach out to old colleagues. Also take dates off your graduation if they are on your resume, ageism is...

6. How Much PTO did you get as a new grad?i

   thaifood122 replied to OncRN2015's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   As an NP, you can negotiate PTO. I'd ask for another week of vacation time. 3-4 weeks and some sick time (normally around 4 days) is what i've been hearing is

7. Psych DNP Programs- Does Prestige Matter?

   thaifood122 replied to outsidegirl's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Thanks for weighing in on this! I'm also hoping to pursue psych NP. I got accepted to UT Austin and Columbia and am wondering if Columbia's prestige is really worth the additional cost. I always...

8. Columbia SON MDE 2019

   thaifood122 replied to Glal2's topic in School, College Programs

   I agree with this. This is a professional school. The entire point of the 6 figure MDE is to prepare you to sit for the NCLEX, which proves that you can safely begin to practice as an RN. If 15-20% of...

9. Columbia SON MDE 2019

   thaifood122 replied to Glal2's topic in School, College Programs

   Don’t forget to add in the 4th semester and living expenses. The financial aid package only covered the first 3 semesters of the MDE. When I ran the numbers it was around 130k for MDE and around...

    thaifood122 replied to Glal2's topic in School, College Programs

    Thanks for reminding me of this and pointing out the NCLEX pass rate! That’s kind of abysmal compared to other programs I’ve applied to. I have heard a LOT of complaints from multiple current...

    thaifood122 replied to Glal2's topic in School, College Programs

    After a ton of soul searching and talking to a lot of people in health care, I think I decided to go with an in state program rather than Columbia. 330ish in student debt is just way too much to be a...

    thaifood122 replied to Psych4644's topic in School, College Programs

    They accept only 8 people a year with hundreds of applicants so definitely get as much psychiatric related experience as you can! Without it you're likely to get deferred to LEADS which adds a 4th...
