    NP clinical hours

    Annaiya replied to mrmike's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    One way to think about it is a semester is generally 15 weeks long, so 150 hours in one semester is about 10 hours a week, so 300 hours is going to be 20 hours a week. I believe that USA also does...

    I am going crazy on making a decision!!

    Annaiya replied to Melody007_FNP-C's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This might depend on the school. A coworker of mine who has solid adult experience, but still has mainly done peds was told by the school she is applying to that her lack of a more balanced work...

    Position difference between RN vs. BSN

    Annaiya replied to kalevra's topic in General Nursing

    I don't at all mind being asked to back up my statement. We can't all be right all of the time:) I've read various articles about this in nursing journals, but here is a link to some information...

    Position difference between RN vs. BSN

    Annaiya replied to kalevra's topic in General Nursing

    I have never heard that an ADN can't be in charge over a BSN. I have a BSN and many of my charge nurses are ADNs. Usually BSNs get paid more ($1/hr at my facility), and BSNs are more likely to be...

    Something flew in my eye!!!

    Annaiya replied to PraiseMariahCarey's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry that you are so freaked out by this, but it is definitely part of nursing. When I was in nursing school there was a patient on a med-surg step down unit that freaked out and picked up his...

    so nervous for my test....

    Annaiya replied to meghan91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What did you get on your last test? Do you think it is a lack of understanding the material or being too nervous to perform well on the exam? Nursing schools tend to have many timed exams where if...

    New grad NP working as floor nurse

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

    Generally speaking when you are talking about legal liability it is often a "reasonable person" standard. From this it makes complete sense that if you are a licensed NP and something happened to your...

    UTHSC Houston Vs TWU for FNP track,fall 2011

    Annaiya replied to sacwindRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would wait and see if you get into both before you start to worry about this. I know TWU has been flooded with applications recently. A lot of very qualified people are not getting

    Nursing Student work in ICU or ER before becoming ACNP?

    Annaiya replied to LexSavDav's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree GPA doesn't necessarily equate to the quality of nurse you will be, but I feel it is still extremely important. I had to submit transcripts from all of the schools I've attended to get my...

    Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) - Anyone accepted to DNP Program for Fall 2011?

    Annaiya replied to OBluv19's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I got my BSN from MUSC and think it is a really great school. I did not consider them for my MSN because they do not offer my specialty track. My only complaint was there was a lot of inconsistency...

    Annaiya replied to simply_tweetums's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations! :anpom: I'm sure you will do great in school. I think those of us who didn't get in the first time around appreciate out spot in the class a little more and it keeps us

    What does a Nurse Practitioner do?

    Annaiya replied to sergel02's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A non-traditional role that you might be interested in is a palliative care NP. It is a role where you are there to support the patient and family. The PNP at my hospital works with the families to...

    We may need fewer nurses in the hospital...

    Annaiya replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    I really think nurses need to start charing for their services. There are so many problems linked to the fact that we cannot quantify the work that we do. We also are not eligible for the...

    Never enough-vent

    Annaiya replied to anotherone's topic in General Nursing

    I know how you feel. I've been a nurse for almost a year and a half and my manager came in early the other morning to talk to me about a complaint (the first ever) that she received about me. It was...

    Accelerated BSN or Direct Entry MSN

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

    Definitely do the ABSN. Direct entry isn't going to save you much time and you will be much more marketable after you graduate. Very few NP jobs are willing to accept NPs with no RN

    Which unit is an overall better to work on...Pre-Op/PACU or SICU??

    Annaiya replied to sungrl01's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree more. I found pre-op to be the most boring place on earth, it was almost all paperwork. And while I liked PACU a little better, it is very routine. But it depends what you are...

    Anyone applying to UAB MSN program?

    Annaiya replied to drewrucker's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm the opposite with the GRE, I only know 1 person who scored lower than 1000, most everyone I know scored higher than that. Are you required to submit GRE scores? I had a 1270, but didn't submit...

    Working in ICU vs OR?

    Annaiya replied to nicrn7's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have a job at the hospital I want to work at, but not on the unit I want. I was told by a manager of a different unit that my being in school for my NP would hurt my chances of being hired by the...

    Anyone applying to UAB MSN program?

    Annaiya replied to drewrucker's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It is competitive, but so many people seem to have really low GPAs from nursing school. It isn't impossible to get in, but you need to have a solid application. RN experience is definitely...

    Need Advice on Nursing Career - very stressed

    Annaiya replied to IcanHealYou's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds to me like it would be worth trying another floor before you give up entirely. Do you have float pool nurses at your facility? They can be great people to ask about what it is like on the...

    Anyone applying to UAB MSN program?

    Annaiya replied to drewrucker's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Every state funded school has to have a preference for state applicants, because they are the ones who pay the taxes that support the school. However, that doesn't mean they don't accept out of state...

    Help - I am interested in nursing but worried about the level of respect

    Annaiya replied to shining_brighteyess's topic in General Nursing

    For the most part nursing is very respected, despite the negative stereotypes. I avoid watching TV shows that portray nurses in a negative light, because it bothers me. However, the other thing to...

    Annaiya replied to PRETTYODD's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think this is ever as easy as saying Hgb of X = Y. There are many risks associated with giving blood. Is he Jehovah's Witness? What type of anemia is it? It is only iron deficiency anemia,...

    anxious nursing student

    Annaiya replied to nursing.mypassion's topic in Emergency

    Remember that you are there to LEARN. That is it. You are not there to do your preceptor's job or even to make her job easier. Yes you will add to the amount of work she has to do, but she knew...
