    Anyone applying to UAB MSN program?

    Annaiya replied to drewrucker's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Just to be a little on UAB's side, they switched how summer semester works this year and it has everyone crazy. I can tell you no one is on vacation. The director of my program is teaching one of my...

    Just want to be a good PICU nurse!

    Annaiya replied to irishgirl11's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    A couple of thoughts: First, are you worrying about not remembering semi-important stuff like missing vital signs or proper documentation. Or are you worrying about unimportant stuff like you forgot...

    Nursing Student, No stranger to healthcare

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

    In my area pediatrics pays better than adults on average. Get a job in a level 1 trauma pediatric ED and you'll be set. If pay and setting is really important to you then be willing to move to where...

    Why are so many new nurses having problems?

    Annaiya replied to okchug's topic in General Nursing

    You obviously haven't worked med-surg. School clinicals do not provide you with knowledge about what it is really like to work on these floors. Med-surg nurses have some of the best time management...

    6 weeks into my 12 week orientation and freaking out.

    Annaiya replied to joj0bo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have been told by a nurse with 20 years of experience, who I consider to be one of the best nurses I've ever met, that she has never felt like she has gotten to that point. However, it will...

    Why are so many new nurses having problems?

    Annaiya replied to okchug's topic in General Nursing

    As still a relatively new nurse, I have to agree with some of the problem being a continual increase in expectations from management without any additional resources. In my 1.5 years I've seen...

    Is my nursing school making me dumber?

    Annaiya replied to BobDoe's topic in General Students

    I don't think anyone would like NCLEX to change to a bar exam style. There was no being able to argue your point on my bar exam. It was 8 hours of multiple choice questions and then the next day was...

    Feels like a slap in the face...

    Annaiya replied to MECO28's topic in General Nursing

    Two things you said here caught my attention. First, if you don't feel totally comfortable talking about your accomplishments, did you maybe not talk yourself up enough in the interview? I know it...

    Nursing School For Older Student

    Annaiya replied to m9791l's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think you will need to worry about age discrimination. Generally diversity is valued by the schools. If nursing is your passion and something you've always wanted to do then I think it is...

    New Here - On The Right Track?

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

    I'm sorry I didn't mean to be disrespectful. Many schools have started to transition to DNP programs, which is why I said it may become difficult to find MSN programs as we get closer to the 2015...

    New Here - On The Right Track?

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

    Wow, this is completely wrong. Google does not know all, nor do other nursing students. AACN has recommended that a DNP (not PhD) be the entry level to practice as an NP with a goal date of 2015....

    Please help me !！！！ thank you reply me !!!!

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

    Language tests will be required to start nursing school. There are no jobs for newly graduated nurses right now in the US, particularly in CA. I think at one point it was easier to immigrate here as...

    6 weeks into my 12 week orientation and freaking out.

    Annaiya replied to joj0bo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Really, this is a conversation you need to have with your preceptor. Talk to her about this and what you're worried about and how to improve on it. It is HER JOB to help you be successful and teach...

    Admission to the Nursing Program to be RN

    Annaiya replied to Hime's topic in General Nursing

    As someone who started law school at the age of 20, I can tell you to stop looking at your career and education as a goal that needs to be reached by a certain age. Go to a 4 year university and look...

    Best Computer For Online School

    Annaiya replied to MandaRN94's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Really your internet connection is more important than the computer, but a laptop is nice so you can move around a bit, especially if you have a monitor and keyboard for when you want a bigger screen....

    Any UAB NP students/graduates?

    Annaiya replied to Riker3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    UAB has a form you have to get filled out by your HCP. I don't think you can access that stuff until you have been accepted. But it's good to have the appointment set up

    Admission to the Nursing Program to be RN

    Annaiya replied to Hime's topic in General Nursing

    There are two paths to becoming an RN. You can get a 2-year associates degree or a 4-year bachelors degree. Maybe start by figuring out which route you want to go. In terms of admissions to...

    Direct Entry NP Program, or RN, then NP?

    Annaiya replied to luckylady5's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you haven't noticed already nursing school whether for RN or NP is extremely competitive. It might be a good idea to apply to as many programs as you can just to increase your chanced of being...

    Any UAB NP students/graduates?

    Annaiya replied to Riker3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just something to keep in mind since they are being extra slow this year, you might want to make a Dr. appt for early July if it might take a while to get in. You have to have a medical clearance...

    How should I approach Nurse Practitioner before 2015?

    Annaiya replied to ggryz's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes. There are a lot of threads about this topic if you look around a bit. There are pluses and minuses to going the direct entry route. My opinion is do an accelerated BSN then apply to graduate...

    States restricting FNPs rounding on inpatients

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

    I agree, I'm just not sure if the TX BoN has stated if that would qualify in their eyes. Like I said, I think a lot of this is speculation at this

    How common is it at your facility to do an overtime shift?

    Annaiya replied to winter_green's topic in General Nursing

    In the winter you can work as much overtime as you want. In the summer you're sometimes lucky to just get your 3 shifts a

    is it OK to submit your 2 week notice via email?

    Annaiya replied to sourapril's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Generally not providing notice will cause you to not be eligible for rehire. And you need to be careful where you are at. Even if you know you'd never work for that facility again, in my area the...

    Do you recommend taking anatomy and physiology online?

    Annaiya replied to bdm2010's topic in General Students

    Research has shown that students DO learn as much in an online format as they do in class. Some people may not like online classes, but that's a whole different issue. Online classes do not affect...

    States restricting FNPs rounding on inpatients

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

    The lines aren't clear and I don't know that they ever will be, or at least not for a long time yet, because all of this stuff is in flux. TX (from what I have been able to gather from the BoN...
