  1. UT Austin Alternate Entry 2020

    thaifood122 replied to Psychmeout2's topic in School, College Programs

    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 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...

  3. 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...

  4. 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...

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

    thaifood122 replied to squinky12's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    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...

  11. Columbia SON MDE 2019

    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...

  12. Columbia SON MDE 2019

    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...

  13. UT AE-MSN 2019

    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...

    I’m so sorry! I’m agreeing with all the other commenters about your energy and support here and how much we’ve all appreciated following your journey. You seem like you will make an excellent...

    thaifood122 replied to LCSWtoPMHNP's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I interviewed for PMHNP with the program director Dawn and another female professor who's name I can't remember. She was more softer speaking. This was two weeks ago and they called me the morning of...

    thaifood122 replied to LCSWtoPMHNP's topic in Post Graduate Students

    There's no way this is a technical glitch. There would be a lot of ways around a simple technical glitch - like emailing or mailing the letters as everyone already stated. It seems like the...

    Seems like the glitch in the system is that they haven’t received the final decisions from the programs yet! Hopefully we get the decisions next

    I really hope that we start hearing tomorrow, but I’m starting to doubt it... it looks like last year people were told my admissions that decisions would start to roll out on the 14th, but they’ve...

    I also applied to Columbia, Yale, Boston College, UT Austin, and MGH. Vanderbilt is definitely my first choice though based on location, cost, and program
