I am a new grad interested in oncology NP but I have also been trying to conceive for a while. Is there any reason to be concerned of radiation exposure whilst trying to conceive and if that could negatively impact a pregnancy? Wondering if any oncology NPs out there can share their experience, whether they need to administer certain chemotherapeutic drugs that RNs can not do (IV push, intrathecal, epidural, etc...).

Has anyone here worked in Bridgeport Hospital (Yale- New Haven)? I'm interested in a RN position there (ED and med-surg) and was wondering if anyone can share their experience and expected salary range? Thanks!

Hi, how is everyone enjoying the Yale New Haven residency (bridgeport/greenwich/etc...)? I'm considering applying... what is the salary and work life like?

Hi, Does anybody have any idea of the salary range for nurse educators in NYC hospitals vs. school educators? Thanks!

Does anyone have any idea of the starting pay for new grads in Norwalk, Stamford, or Greenwich Hospital? Which is the best paying in CT? Thanks!

"As a result, there is a systemic over - glorification of nursing that further leads young people to believe that its a perfect profession." This sentence resonates strongly with me. All the instagram and facebook posts of nursing as a field full of passion and heroic work is only one perspective of nursing being represented, and can certainly be very misleading.

All FNP applicants will get an interview?

How did your interview go? Did you have to write essay too?

Hi Taisha, Do you mind sharing why you are not happy with the WHNP or FNP program? If you want, you may send me a private message. -Curious from a potentially interested applicant who is considering multiple programs and am nervous about investing all my savings into this program. Thanks so much in advance!!

Hi, thank you, and I really appreciate your replies. Prior to posting, I did a search through AllNurses' search engine and wasn't able to find anything related to NY NP licensure laws. Perhaps I'm not using the correct search terms?

What are the rules/expectations of a FNP practicing as a RN in an acute care hospital in New York? I have heard that NP's practicing as a RN will be held to their highest level of incomplete/completed education and/or licensure, but that it depends on the state. Are NP's in NY then expected to diagnose or be held liable for a misdiagnosis if they are employed as a RN in an acute care hospital? I'm not entirely sure what the limits and expectations are if a NP wanted to do part time RN work, or if they decide to let their NP license expire so that they can go back to a RN career.

Is it reasonable and prevalent for nurses to take on two jobs: one full-time night shift position (3-4 shifts/wk), and one part-time day shift (2 shifts/week)? I expect to schedule my part-time position around the full-time job. Is it expected that I informed my supervisor regarding this? To give you context: I am single without children, and blessed with a ton of debt.

@LadyT618, thank you so much for your reply! I really appreciate it. I suppose getting more RN experience does make sense before becoming an NP. I have heard somewhere that NP's are faced with more litigation issues than MD/DO's due to misdiagnosis, but it is reassuring to hear that there are some great NP programs out there that adequately prepares their providers. Thanks!

Stonybrook requires 3 recommendations. The website says that it needs to be from one health care provider, one professor, and one supervisor. I am not close with any health care providers- are they really strict about who the recommendations come from? I have one from a professor, and two from a supervisor.
