LOL this sounds even more interesting, I used to be in the military and work in medical soooo its right up my alley! Been searching for VA jobs but they are hard to get into. Thanks for all the info!

Thanks for the input, looked into a few AWV PD jobs as you recommended, its a few companies here in NY that do that some bad and some good, with nice rates. Also I have never heard of medical examiner for the VA! Very interesting! Something I will look into and do some research.

I work in NY, I know Im just very disappointed, Its a hard step backwards. I never felt entitled, Did some digging and found other hospitals are starting new NPs a bit higher than 115K more around 120 -125k , so I didn't do it for money but I still have bills to pay living in NYC is not easy. I still have my per diem RN job to supplement but its hard to work 4-12hr shifts every week days/nights with small children. I spoke to many of the doctors where I worked as an RN. They are trying to figure something out for me. So now its a waiting game. I appreciate everyones in put. I will stick it out as best I can. I understand that everyone has to put the time in. - Thanks

HI there!! I currently started working here and I must say I am very disappointed, they offered me as a new grad 115K and only went up to max 118K but its cohens. No paid holidays and a bonus up to 8% every April. They recently had a pay increase but It did not apply to me. As a RN for 10 years I was making 135K so its a huge set back. But I guess each hospital may be different and I know the experienced NP pay is much higher!

Hello, all In need of some desperate advice. I currently have a NP job working at a hospital 3 -12 shifts I have been working as a NP for about 5 months but the pay is 115K per year. I was working as an RN for 10 years and making 135K per year. I tried to negotiate the pay and it was not accepted, I thought I was able to manage the pay difference but it is too steep a difference. Should I leave the NP job and go back to the RN job, im still working there per diem but I end up work 4- 12hr shifts a week and I have 3 small children. The NP job is easy, and everyone is so helpful as a new grad very supportive but its very far from my house and the pay is not helping me. any advice? I would just feel like a quitter leaving. Do employee consider 6 months as experience? Thanks!

Hello, I graduated last Year August, to be honest. I don't even remember, LOL I feel like it was such a traumatic experience that everything about that program is a blur. They changed all the rules on us mid game adding a camera, the program to watch us didn't work, changed times and dates on us, and something about that HESI test that some people failed but they STILL passed them after they made such a huge deal about, and when you question them no answers. But I do know finish those SIM cases, and Clinicals quickly that way you can focus on studying. And don't forget to register for you paperwork for boards. goodluck

Hello all Has anyone in the NUR 625 sections received a grade for the final? I feel like im in Limbo. I don't know whether I graduated or failed, thats a terrible space to be in. ZERO communication from the school. I have emailed everyone and NO ONE responds. Thanks

Hi there, the portfolio is not something you can share, it is a personal body of work that you have completed over the course of the program, all the documents should have been saved. Things like your barkley testing, CV, statement of philosophy. All the professional growth assignments and more, so the cumulative assignment is something partly personal to you. Also all the certificates you did during the program. Have not taken the HESI yet, but the first one was kinda tough, but hopefully with enough study I will not have to take it again.

I believe its both, the grading is as follows Letter Grade Percentage Range A. 93.5 - 100 A- 89.5 - 93.49 B+ 86.5 - 89.49 B 83.5 - 86.49 F 0 - 83.49 you need an 84% on all quizzes and an 84% in the class overall as well.

well that's comforting, Thank you so much for this clarification. LOL. It does well to talk to eachother, the way one person is viewing something maybe different to another. I did not see it that way, but im glad someone helped me with that. and also the final is not cumulative. time to study, good luck everyone

OK I see, it says lowest test/quiz grade so does that mean either the average of the quizzes grade or the midterm grade or the final grade? or just the lowest test in general out of all the tests? Either way its a lot of miss information that needs clarification. Thanks for that info as well

KaraL I know she said the SOOT was 3 points on the final, but changed it to the lowest quiz which does nothing, literally. Im just concerned now the entire class is studying the wrong material, Did Dr.C say she would email all of us for clarification?

WOW!! this is interesting, but great news! .....Jen I sent you a PM

It is clearly stated in the syllabus that the content for the final is from the midterm forward, but I guess stating the rules before a class is not a thing anymore. The final is cumulative and they told us at the last minute. Nothing we can do…except study and hope for the best at this point. They have changed the rules for this section of classes multiple times this semester already. I just want it over.

the get you thinking is 6 pages of questions ........ I did most of it already an I have over 50 pages to study... its a lot, a whole lot, some of the stuff we should already know but its still a lot to include on 1 test but hey this is graduate level courses
