I have an opportunity for my first ARNP job to work with a great physician who I have known for about 5-6 years in a speciality setting. He is willing to put in the time and effort to really train me. I am having issues though with the hours and what...

@traumaRUs Thank you! I feel better knowing I'm not asking for too much. I know I'm a new grad and this is his first experience with an NP, but I don't want to be worked to death.

Just go for it. You will never truly feel ready! It sounds like you have done everything possibly to prepare.

Anyone graduate and pass ARNP exam, but take time off before finding a job? I graduated in May 2014, passed my FNP cert in August, but I haven't found my first ARNP job yet because I had a baby November 2014. I am torn on finding a job because I know...

What would a part time schedule even look like in an office setting?

I have thought about this, and I have been looking, but I'm coming up short. Since I am a new grad, i have that going against me to begin with...

Congrats! I am taking my exam on Mon, Aug 18th. I am at the point now of just reviewing and answering questions. I took the AANP practice exam and got a 73%, which gave me somewhat of a boost of confidence, but not really. I've used Hollier review CD...

I am making myself a syllabi to begin studying for my boards; it's my final semester of FNP. I have Barkley, which is organized by system, which is how I plan to study. I also have Fitzgerald, however, her CDs are not labeled. Does anyone know which ...

Thank you!!!

I'm a Family Nurse Practitioner student, eagerly waiting to graduate in ONE year--May 2014. People keep telling me it will fly by, but honestly, the past 2 years have NOT flown by, I feel like it's taking forever. I finished my first clinical semest...

This thread is old, but I'm curious how it worked out for you, the job search, and the baby?

Hi all, I will begin my pediatric rotation in August. Background, I have 5 years RN experience, 4 of which in the ICU. I have absolutely zero experience in pediatric nursing, besides my undergraduate rotation, which was not all that great. In between...

Wow, how did you go about getting such great offers? I graduate in 10 months, need some serious tips!! I would go with Family because it will be more well-rounded, unless you absolutely want to do Derm, which i heard is difficult to break into...:)

It isn't set yet, but more than likely primary care.

I have to get in 180 hours in 12 weeks

As an update, wanted to inform those following this that some schools are taking notice--mine specifically has overhauled and changed the curriculum to meet the new requirements. They've gone as far as eliminating courses and adding new ones. Our fal...

Hi everyone, I won't be graduating with my FNP until May 2014! I'm currently 27 (since February) and engaged to be married in October. While I know 29 is still doable to have babies, of course, I wonder if anyone has insight on having a baby while go...

Even though I know it's not an exact science that i can control, ideally, i'd like to get pregnant during grad school, so that i would have the baby right after graduation. Anyone do something similar? This would also be good for us because my husban...

I don't graduate for a loooooonnnggg time, but would love advice on the best places to look for jobs!:)

My concern is that I just started my program for Adult nurse practitioner and will be graduating in December 2013. As of now, I am not yet in the main courses (for example, I'm still taking theory, pharm, patho, etc., not yet clinicals), and I don't ...

Anyone else applying? I'll be taking my CCRN and GRE at the end of this year, and then applying for the Acute Care Track. I know it's going to be difficult with studying for both, but I know I can do it. Anyone a current student in this program? I l...

Okay, so what is the best type of watch to get for clinicals that won't accumulate millions of bacteria and is easy to clean? Thanks!

Okay everyone, I just learned this evening that I was ACCEPTED to start an Adult MSN program for the Fall! I'm thrilled, excited, and nervous to begin this three year process. I will be working full time (three 12's) at my current position in the ICU...

Yes, I really love working for my organization. I only hear good things from other people, too. HCA hospitals, however...i would stay away from. All I hear is bad stuff.

I've got a good one. This morning I thought, "you know you're a nurse when..." ...as I was taking apart the vacuum to get it working again, using hemostats and a penlight. It was like vacuum surgery. Our vacuum is once again sucking!
