    What does a Nurse Practitioner do?

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

    OP, you don't say how old you are but based on your questions and tone of your posts you sound like you might be a high school student considering career options? If that is the case then...

    Mayo Clinic Reality

    Annaiya replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't worked as a nurse at Mayo, but before becoming a nurse I worked with one of the Mayo companies very closely for 8 months. I was extremely impressed with every person I worked with there....

    MUSC Accelerated BSN

    Annaiya replied to Annaiya's topic in General Nursing

    MUSC does ATI not HESI, but yes you need to pass to

    Graduate Schools?

    Annaiya replied to Jeana18's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Regardless of the requirement for NICU experience prior to starting NNP clinicals, I think it is a much wiser choice to get your BSN first then work at least a few months before applying to graduate...

    is this within my scope?

    Annaiya replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

    So is it different because it is an injection vs., for example, cleaning and dressing a wound? I just find it hard to believe that just doing an act that is something within the scope of nursing...

    is this within my scope?

    Annaiya replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

    Is there a reason why she won't go to the clinic to get it done? Isn't it an IM injection? Maybe mention to her that it's probably a good idea to have it done by someone who does them all of the...

    About to Start Final Placement - getting scared

    Annaiya replied to Daisy_08's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what a "final placement" is. Can you explain that better? Are you a new grad or a nursing student? Any time you want to make a good impression just do 3 things: 1. Be enthusiastic!...

    What are the expectations of a new grad

    Annaiya replied to jnabc1432's topic in General Nursing

    You don't say exactly how much experience you have, so it is hard to judge for sure, but I don't think it is at all uncommon to start doing charge after being a nurse for a year. However, it doesn't...

    ACPNP Exam Review Material

    Annaiya posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Does anyone know if there is a review course/book for the ACPNP exam? All I have been able to find is ACNP or PNP. It will be a while before I take the exam, but I know the review books can be...

    ADN/BSN/Residency

    Annaiya replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Nursing

    I agree those odds aren't as bad as some. The residency program at my hospital gets around 150 applications for 15 spots. CNM, keep in mind that while residency programs are great, they aren't...

    Nurse Residency

    Annaiya replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Nursing

    Something to keep in mind some residencies don't allow you to have any professional nursing experience. For example, the residency that I did does not accept any application from nurses who worked as...

    Anyone applying to UAB MSN program?

    Annaiya replied to drewrucker's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yes, I'm attending UAB. Sillysally, I think it is always worth trying to contact the school to see what information you can get. Some schools won't talk to you about your application, but it doesn't...

    Need help with writing

    Annaiya replied to mo42's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It also depends what type of help you need. Is it grammar or the structure of the paper that you are talking about? Learning how to write well can't happen overnight, and even when you do write...

    CNS-Critical Care, online programs? (APN/CNS/NP confusion!)

    Annaiya replied to Walden-Puddle, RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think I can answer at least some of your questions. You may want to consider doing some research to see how APNs are being utilized at the hospitals near you, because there are regional...

    Anyone applying to UAB MSN program?

    Annaiya replied to drewrucker's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm sorry to the people who didn't get in. I hope you can find another path that works out for you. I keep hearing of people applying to grad school and not being accepted. The economy and the 2015...

    MUSC Accelerated BSN

    Annaiya replied to Annaiya's topic in General Nursing

    BestSweetGal, Wow, I can't imagine getting through a BSN program and then not being allowed to sit for NCLEX because of HESI. Did anyone else in your class not pass? We had a test we had to pass at...

    Many Questions

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

    There are lots of good schools around the country. Any school that is good is going to be very hard to get into, so keep your grades up and consider volunteering at a local hospital. Be sure the ask...

    Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    Annaiya replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It makes me sad that so many nurses are are being so negative. I would not want to do grad school without any RN experience, but that doesn't mean someone going straight through school can't be a...

    Pediatrics: Parents asking not to disclose diagnosis

    Annaiya replied to rant's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a children's hospital and they might let a parent go a few days without telling the child, but not forever. Especially in cancer, there is so much those kids have to go through for...

    Charting at bedside and team nursing question

    Annaiya replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    We have computers in all of our rooms, but I still do most of my charting at the nurse's station for the exact reasons you mentioned. I work nights and there is no way I'm going to stand in the dark...

    Where should I go from here?

    Annaiya replied to Susan H.'s topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would think a 9-5 kind of job would be nearly impossible to do while doing your clinical semesters. I have to work full-time through my degree, but I'm going to school part-time. It doesn't seem...

    Online or "Brick and Mortar" School?

    Annaiya replied to Melody007_FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You can find out if the online school has any contracts with hospitals in your area. If they do, and if they have names of people who've precepted in the past it is really easy to set up clinicals....

    Nursing concerns....

    Annaiya replied to Vaikinglee's topic in General Nursing

    A couple of comments to build on what has already been said. I think your concerns are perfectly normal/reasonable for a person who isn't that familiar with nursing. You have to remember that you...

    Help with studying effectively.

    Annaiya replied to >--stethoscope--o's topic in General Students

    I am the exact same way, I'll be wide awake and then start reading homework and fall asleep on my book. It's terrible. I have learned some ways to deal with it, but it is a constant struggle. I...

    Scared I won't like nursing! Wondering if I should be a teacher instead.

    Annaiya replied to April2318's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know salaries in SA are low, (as is cost of living) but I find it hard to believe it is THAT low. In the DFW area salaries start at around $50,000/year for days and $60,000/year for nights. And...
