    So much harder than I expected :(

    Annaiya replied to sprintin2012's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It isn't something you can learn from a book. And don't be too hard on yourself when you're still so new. If you have 18 week so orientation, I'm guessing you're in critical care, which just means...

    Annaiya replied to radicalsenseofhope's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have wanted to do this for so many years, you definitely should go back and do it. Think of the example you can be to your kids regarding what you can accomplish with hard work and a strong...

    Why is it so hard to get an RN job in NY?? :(

    Annaiya replied to NS81's topic in New York Nursing

    Apply nationally, get a job and some experience, and then move back to NY. It seems like NY has been really bad for a while. I wanted to move there because I have family there, but chose to work...

    Diagnosed with MS recently, right after starting back school to becomie a nurse

    Annaiya replied to bribri03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My best friend of 25 years was diagnosed with MS when she was 19. When we were 12, she would talk about how all she wanted to be when she grew up was a nurse. After her diagnosis, she had an...

    I don't think I want to do FNP anymore?

    Annaiya replied to Jmallard's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm at UAB and took Patho and Role Development together while working full-time. I spent a ton of time studying, but got through the semester and got As in both classes, so it can be done. You just...

    Where are all the online NP graduates?

    Would you do it over again?

    Annaiya replied to kelmc0824's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not an NP yet, I graduate in May, but I thought I'd offer my perspective. I agree that this is really an individual choice, so you need to spend some time thinking about exactly what do you like...

    Where are all the online NP graduates?

    Annaiya replied to Mommy2be's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The whole online vs in-person debate is just getting old. I have never heard attrition rates are higher with online degrees. If you don't personally put in the time to learn the content you will not...

    I am not trying to repeat a topic. But your input is appreciated.

    Annaiya replied to prepcub's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't think getting an MSN is going to hurt you getting a job upon graduation. I've talked to a lot of NPs about this and while some are choosing to pursue a DNP, I have never heard someone say...

    More frustration as an MD or an NP?

    Annaiya replied to sapphire18's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with traumaRUs. Student forums is not a place to learn about how things are in the real world. One of the docs I work with said he used to have an ego that he was the Doctor, until he...

    What states are hiring new grad NPs?

    Annaiya replied to Kaylat's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That is too broad of a question to answer. It depends on specialty and often rural vs. urban locations. I think it is best to look for job postings in your area and see what kinds of jobs are...

    PNP acute care exam-passed!

    Annaiya replied to tryingtohaveitall's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I take the exam next summer. What I've heard in terms of immunizations is almost all of that content was removed when they revised the exam. The only questions I've heard people getting are...

    Hopeful Foreign BSN grad with Low GPA going to NP program

    Annaiya replied to pennylane18's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think targeting some schools and then talking to them about your situation is your best bet. You may be able to register as a non-degree seeking student and take some of the harder classes (like...

    Hired into ICU as a new grad, now bring shipped off to ICC... :(

    Annaiya replied to Phlavyah's topic in Critical Care

    Sadly this kind of stuff happens all of the time. I was in a similar situation when I started. I worked hard in school and it got me a very competitive nurse residency spot. All through the program...

    Family NP vs Pediatric NP vs Acute Care Pediatric NP

    Annaiya replied to the healer's art's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The answer depends somewhat on which state you live in, but some states will not allow to work in the hospital without having an acute care specialization. I would suggest looking at some of the...

    Letting the market determine whether I can go straight to PMHNP

    Annaiya replied to priorities2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think you're fine to go straight through, but keep in mind that you may not be able to get an RN job after you graduate. I have a friend that recently got her WHNP degree and there are no jobs in...

    Best RN Experience for FNP Program

    Annaiya replied to prajwala's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I completely disagree with taking an office job. The work you would do there will not prepare you for an FNP job. There are things like immunizations that you would learn better, but that's easy to...

    Annaiya replied to tortorRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    If emergency is what you want to do, you might want to consider USA's Emergency NP program: USA College of Nursing - Emergency Nurse Practitioner I have a friend that graduated last year with a MSN...

    What is the quickest way to earning your DNP?

    Annaiya replied to tortorRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    As others have stated, the DNP is not required. This is a very common misunderstanding. I would highly recommend reading some of the criticisms of the DNP degree. I understand you wanting to go a...

    Annaiya replied to IheartICUnursing's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you do a search you will find a number of threads that touch on this topic. For example, I just looked for ACNP and here's a recent thread that came up:...

    American Academy of Family Physicians thoughts on NPs

    Annaiya replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think this statement really is the key. It is amazing to me how lazy some of the NP students and NPs are. I have been outright embarrassed for my chosen profession by some of my NP preceptors, by...

    What you wish you knew before starting nursing school

    Annaiya replied to margritamix's topic in General Students

    This is excellent advice. It really is easy to get caught up in the tasks and procedures, because those are the tangible skills that you can see. However, the critical thinking skills are truly the...

    New Grad RN - ICU

    Annaiya replied to californiarnbsn's topic in MICU, SICU

    I started in the ICU with several new grads and I felt like they had a lot easier time learning what to do than I did with 1 year of floor experience. They only had to learn what to do. I had to...

    OB, CNM, FNP, Surgery, PACU, where to start?!

    Annaiya replied to xxlilkacixx's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you really want to work OB, then figure out how to get hired when they have an opening. For example, I got on a committee that the director of the unit I wanted to transfer to was on and then...
