  12. First NP job did not work out..now what?

    Ignore whoever is trying to scare you by saying you have to take that NP job or else. That is nonsense. Your first NP job turned out to be a difficult situation and it is not your fault - they had 3...

  16. I understand your concern, not sure what I would do in your situation. There are lots of good schools in CA, so why not just go to one of them? Also, for out of state, apply to the better schools....
  17. Ask the school if they have had CA students graduate and able to get CA

  22. Taking a nonpsych RN job while completing your PMHNP is fine. You can always comment in your cover letter that it was the only job what would work while you were in school. I don't know what NP pay...

  24. Help NP clinical advice after hours

    I have never heard of a primary care clinic offering extended hours. There are some that are open on Saturdays. An option might be Urgent Care, either a stand-alone center or one attached to a...
  25. New to nursing career
