    MUSC Accelerated BSN

    Annaiya replied to Annaiya's topic in General Nursing

    MUSC does not do a waiting list beyond the current semester (there is a wait list in case not everyone accepted starts the program). AFAIK only the community college keeps a wait list to start the...

    Nurse Practitioner at University of Alabama in Birmingham

    Annaiya replied to kyonguyen22's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Oh yeah I think you're right, I was just thinking about generally the populations you see in an adult facility, not the exact scope of practice. There is definitely overlap there, since PNPs are...

    Nurse Practitioner at University of Alabama in Birmingham

    Annaiya replied to kyonguyen22's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree it is great to have goals, but just keep your options open. You will likely change your mind when you get to nursing school and see what things are really like. One of the big reasons why...

    I'm just curious, why do you want to do the adult NP specialty

    So what is your job like as an NP? Getting into NP school right away?

    Annaiya replied to hawaiianflowers21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am in school to be an ACPNP, I have no interest in clinic work. The ACPNPs at my hospital work 6 24-hours shifts a month on average. However, it is hard to find qualified people, so I think...

    Please help me... Nursing interview coming up.

    Annaiya replied to simply_tweetums's topic in General Nursing

    For what it is worth, I think this is a great answer. You sound like a smart, caring person, so don't stress yourself out too much over all of this. You don't want to be so anxious about the...

    Anyone applying to UAB MSN program?

    Annaiya replied to drewrucker's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I highly suggest taking patho before pharm. My schedule didn't work out this way and I took pharm first, but would have gotten a lot more out of it if I had had patho. Patho is a lot of work, so if...

    Please help me... Nursing interview coming up.

    Annaiya replied to simply_tweetums's topic in General Nursing

    That is it exactly. You don't want to try to do more than is safe for you to do. It is never wrong to ask for help. So much of nursing is critical thinking and judgement calls. Nursing school is...

    Please help me... Nursing interview coming up.

    Annaiya replied to simply_tweetums's topic in General Nursing

    I give up, you are just not understanding what I am trying to say at all. I am not answering her question, I am trying to give her things to think about. I think it is a very valid question and...

    Direct-entry NP program participants - where did you come from?

    Annaiya replied to dp1200's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You may be able to get the experience while going to school, but I am not aware of any programs that don't require it at all. For example, my program requires 1 year full-time AC RN experience. But...

    MUSC Accelerated BSN

    Annaiya replied to Annaiya's topic in General Nursing

    FYI for anyone who has not lived in Charleston before, the down town floods when it rains and is high tide. We had a couple of classmates first semester have their cars totaled due to being flooded....

    Please help me... Nursing interview coming up.

    Annaiya replied to simply_tweetums's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't advocate for her to do anything in particular. I didn't want to answer the question for her, that's her responsibility. I was trying to get her to think about what she would do in that...

    Reputation of online APN programs

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

    A school can be good or bad based on the school and the instructors, just because a program is online does not mean it is bad. My program also has video taped lectures to watch, and I'll take that...

    MUSC Accelerated BSN

    Annaiya replied to Annaiya's topic in General Nursing

    Although it's been a while since I applied to school, I was out of state and got accepted. They seem to have plenty of in state applications so I don't see why this would affect your application....

    Please help me... Nursing interview coming up.

    Annaiya replied to simply_tweetums's topic in General Nursing

    They aren't expecting you to answer this as a nurse and there is no "right" answer. They are looking to see how you would handle that situation. I guarantee that you will find yourself in situations...

    Direct-entry NP program participants - where did you come from?

    Annaiya replied to dp1200's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I firmly believe that this decision needs to be made based on your own self-assessment of your skills and personality. Some people are ok diving right in and learning trial by fire. If you are like...

    Family NP or Adult acute care NP

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

    Nomad, I'm with Juan on this unless you can point to something specific that says FNPs can do all. TX is one of the states that does not allow a broad scope of practice. This isn't restricted by...

    Is nursing for me?

    Annaiya replied to 2RNornot2RN's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously consider trying day shift. I know a few nurses who almost quit because they were so miserable, but went to days and found out it wasn't nursing that was the problem, it was working nights....

    Which PNP Specialty?

    Annaiya replied to Decemberblues's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think it tends to be based on your past RN experience, what area you enjoy the most and where you can get a

    Reputation of online APN programs

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

    Browndog, obviously you don't understand how an online education works. There is NO difference between the quality of online vs. inperson education based only on format. The differences are in the...

    FNP vs Acute care NP vs CRNA

    Annaiya replied to Leanne62499's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Where I'm at NPs start at $84,000 a year. Experienced RNs and float pool RNs working nights make more than that without overtime. It's sad given the fact that the NPs work way more than 36 hours a...

    More info about post-NP certifications?

    Annaiya replied to thenewguy8's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are lots of other certifications you can get, aromatherapy is one I'm familiar with. However, when I hear post-NP certificate, I've always thought that refers to getting a second NP...

    BSN to NP: to wait or not wait

    Annaiya replied to Walker.Abb's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    AC and NNP programs do require a certain number of years of RN experience. Are you asking if that requirement should be added to other

    RN interested in becoming NP - advice, please!

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

    I'm only in my second semester of NP school, but I can answer some of your questions. I too am in my 30's and I applied to grad school 5 months after finishing my BSN. Since I already had a BSN, I...

    Residency programs for NP graduates?

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

    This isn't true for all states. It is my understanding that FNPs can only work in primary care in TX, therefore they could not work in the OR. I have a feeling that more states will start to follow...
