    Advice - Is this for me?

    Annaiya replied to lostNneuro's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    if it is what you want to do, then just do it. however, from what you posted it doesn't sound like it really fits what you're looking for. there are rn jobs that focus on prevention and all rns take...

    Behavioral Interview Questions

    Annaiya posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have a friend who is applying for WHNP jobs and am trying to help her prepare for interviews. So, I was wondering if people could share examples of the "behavioral" interview questions they've been...

    Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    Annaiya replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't think the study is useless for not having a randomized methodology, because I think students that know they wouldn't do well in an online program don't chose that route in real life. I've...

    How to prepare for NP school??

    Annaiya replied to silverbelle's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    IMO, go on a vacation, get that closet reorganized that you've wanted to do, but don't seem to get around to, etc. Once school starts, you will likely be unable to do anything else except the basic...

    Primary Care Pediatric NP - Current Job Market?

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

    That's because hospitals don't do primary care:) You need to look at clinics not hospitals. I have a friend graduating in May, she's not too worried about finding something, but she doesn't have...

    New grad NP working as floor nurse

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

    Km8011, that sounds horrible! I'm surprised you were able to get clinical hours for ACPNP in a clinic. My school strongly discourages any clinical sites that aren't inpatient. But one of the...

    New grad NP working as floor nurse

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

    Everyone knows what the job market is like for new grad NPs right now. Both of the two areas I'm in right now for clinical are hiring and both said they would not consider a new grad. There is...

    FNP or WHNP?

    Annaiya replied to kirish34's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    lol, funny that you should say that. The TX BoN actually specifically addresses this on their website. From reading it, my guess is an OB/GYN office would be less likely to hire an FNP, because they...

    New grad NP working as floor nurse

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

    KM8011, is your 9 years of experience in peds? And are you apply for jobs in those specialties or are you applying for ICU jobs? I ask because in my experience, you have to have RN ICU experience to...

    Clinical hours question, how many?

    Annaiya replied to mrmike's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    FNP is usually more hours I believe. My ACPNP program is 630, but if you do the dual option of AC and PC PNP it is around 1100 hours. So it varies by

    Let's me guess...AP nursing flooded too?

    Annaiya replied to TinkerNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That's assuming your state allows NPs to have their own offices, most of them still do not. And you will definitely need some solid experience under your belt before you'd be competent to be on your...

    Feeling completely overwhelmed by first days of Nursing School, please help

    Annaiya replied to Jasmin_sunset's topic in General Students

    If you are looking up answers and still getting questions wrong, then it tell me that it isn't a study problem, it's a test taking issue. It can take a while to get used to NCLEX style questions....

    Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    Annaiya replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    a lot of good points have been covered in this thread already (in pointing out the opinions here are not supported by any facts), but i wanted to add a couple of things. i did my nursing school...

    New Grad nurse/early pregnancy advice

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

    Are you planning on quitting after you have the baby? If so, then I wouldn't take the job, but if not, why tell her? You won't qualify for FMLA yet, because you won't have the required hours in, so...

    Does your hospital have peds neuroscience? What do they do?

    Annaiya replied to loveoutloud's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    In my hospital there are 4 places with neuro kids. First, the PICU get all critically ill kids and we see a lot of neuro. Second, we have an epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) where they do video EEGs,...

    Graduated 2010 almost gave up nursing.

    Annaiya replied to MayuZ's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am sorry that you are in such a difficult place. I agree that if your state allows you to work as a CNA that's probably your best way to get a job. There seems to be a lot of stories like yours on...

    What are good things to know by heart?

    Annaiya replied to glenlorie's topic in General Students

    I agree with the not memorizing too much, because it will likely be different when you finally get a job and start working. Focus on your assessment skills and recognizing abnormals, that will be...

    Feeling completely overwhelmed by first days of Nursing School, please help

    Annaiya replied to Jasmin_sunset's topic in General Students

    I think every nursing student feels that way when they start. It may help to meet with your professor and talk to them about ways to study the content that fits your learning style better. The first...

    Accelerated BSN programs

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

    I did an ABSN and I think they are the way to go for adult students. It would have been a complete waste of my time to do a traditional program where you aren't in school in the summer. This way you...

    NP wanna be

    Annaiya replied to mtsteelhorse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Really you will learn what you need to know from school. We did cover EKGs in patho, but really weren't tested on it, it was just part of our cardiac chapter. If you want to do primary care, a lot...

    Why do you want to be a NP???

    Annaiya replied to xxlilkacixx's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Why did you go for your NP rather than continuing to work as an RN? I am currently half way through my NP program. I feel my strengths fit better with the NP role than it does the bedside nurse role....

    Nurse Report please answer

    Annaiya replied to Wantoknow-rn's topic in Emergency

    What you're asking is a prioritization question, so it will depend on each patient and each situation. So you need to think about what are the most important things to get done. In terms of meds, if...

    Any UAB NP students/graduates?

    Annaiya replied to Riker3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is just an educated guess, but I think grades matter as a way to determine if the student will be able to survive the requirements of grad school. If you have done poorly in prior "easier"...

    MUSC or USC FNP

    Annaiya replied to CLASSOF09's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's been 2 years since I graduated from MUSC, but I have never heard of any sort of investigation or sanction against them. I found them to be an absolutely wonderful school with great faculty that...

    PNP programs in the Houston area?

    Annaiya replied to bayouchick02's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Check out the NP job listings for the peds clinics in your area and see if they are asking for FNP or PNP or either. I am in the DFW area and the clinics here hire PNPs. I am doing my program online...
