    do you ever get scared?

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

    There is a reason we get paid so well for what we do, it isn't an easy job. But that isn't to say that it isn't worth it. Every job is going to have it's bad days, but not every job allows you to...

    Hey ACNPs! need your help~

    Annaiya replied to Kellied1983's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The answer to this somewhat depends on the state you plan to practice in. For example, in TX you have to have AC certification to work in a hospital and primary care certification to work in a...

    Need an online statistics course

    Annaiya replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did mine through the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. It was one of the best run online classes I've ever taken. I learned a ton. It was an inferential statistics class (one of the 300 level...

    Does it get better?

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

    I think your first patients affect you more because they are your first ones. You will learn to cope with the sad stories as you get more experience. It is the nurses who don't care about their...

    Can someone please tell me about these specialties?

    Annaiya replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in General Nursing

    Coming from a pediatric perspective, our neuro floor also has an epilepsy monitoring unit where the patients are video taped while hooked up to an EEG. They do all sorts of different things to try to...

    Anyone applying to UAB MSN program?

    Annaiya replied to drewrucker's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't know the answers to any of those questions either. I am in the AC PNP program, and I know that is a lot smaller than FNP, but I don't know any numbers. I'm guessing I won't know until I get...

    Anyone applying to UAB MSN program?

    Annaiya replied to drewrucker's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Aubie, I got in after having only 6 months experience, so I don't think that is a deciding factor, assuming you are applying for part-time enrollment. If you are sure you want to stay in acute care...

    MUSC Accelerated BSN

    Annaiya replied to Annaiya's topic in General Nursing

    I commuted from Summerville my first semester and it made it a lot harder. You have to leave by about 6:15 am every day, regardless of when class starts, because of parking and traffic. Also, if you...

    ISU, USA, or UAB FNP program

    Annaiya replied to txfnp12's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I just started at UAB in August and have been really impressed with the school so far. It has been exactly what I was looking for. The instructors are available, give prompt answers to questions,...

    CRNA Jobs?

    Annaiya replied to sunshineintheforest's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Take a deep breath and don't worry about it. You have years yet before you graduate from CRNA school and the job market will be very different by then. Healthcare is changing and our economy will...

    NNP VS PNP

    Annaiya replied to krenshaw06's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't know a lot about it, but there is a group called Pediatrix. I don't know if they are national or just in TX, but they will pay for you to get your NNP if you agree to work for them when after...

    How is the job market for NP's?

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

    You might want to start with applying to school first to even see if you get in right away. I know the schools near me saw record numbers of applicants for the fall. I have heard of about 5 nurses...

    Not a drug user but tested positive for cocaine

    Annaiya replied to ntotalshock's topic in Texas Nursing

    First off, I'm glad to hear you are leaving this man who uses drugs. There are a lot of great men in this world and you don't need to be with one who will jeopardize your future. I concur with...

    TX ACNP Scope of Practice

    Annaiya posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I keep hearing that AC (acute care) certified NPs can't practice in clinics in TX, but I have not been able to find this on the BoN website. I'm trying to find out the exact rules concerning the...

    Going to grad school straight from undergrad?

    Annaiya replied to jcstudent11's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't think you need to work a long time before applying to school, but I think you should work at least 6 months, so you can be sure it really is what you want to do. School clinicals just don't...

    Is this burnout?

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

    What was it about nursing that you used to like? Do you think your expectations of nursing are not aligned with reality? Or are you just not doing the type of work that gets you excited?Getting your...

    how long until you would feel comfortable precepting?

    Annaiya replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    As a new nurse who has been precepted by nurses with 1 or less years of experience, I don't think it is enough. But as with all things, it really depends on the situation. Honestly, if you are a...

    Annaiya replied to luson10's topic in Texas Nursing

    Just to give you an idea of the competition, for the May graduates, we accepted 20 people out of 150 applicants. It isn't the kind of numbers you hear about in CA, but unless you have a truly...

    Was it everything...

    Annaiya replied to Adrienne6's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Whether or not nursing is right for other people isn't going to bear on if it is right for you. Some people love it, some hate it. I think it has a lot to do on where you work. There are some...

    Please help!!! I need advice..

    Annaiya replied to precillar85's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There is some good advice here already, but here is what I'd suggest. First, it sounds like you have all of the knowledge you need in your head, you just need to learn how to apply it in a non-school...

    Annaiya replied to Riker3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have applied to UAB for Fall 2010 for their Acute Care PNP program, they told me too that I should hear if I get in the end of June. I'm planning on going part-time while working full-time and I...

    Thinking about nursing and have some questions

    Annaiya replied to ConsideringBSN/MSN's topic in Texas Nursing

    It sounds like TWU's accellerated program was poorly run, but I would highly recommend that type of program to anyone who is switching careers. I did a 15 month BSN program and loved it. I can't...

    Food for Thought: Opinions on Magnet Status Facilities

    Annaiya replied to FutureNurse1016's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm really surprised your instructor didn't want to discuss the magnet program, we have projects in two separate classes in school where we have to learn about/discuss the magnet recognition program....

    Annaiya replied to ConsideringBSN/MSN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I too made the mistake of starting life off as an attorney and am now working as a nurse. I finished nursing school last December. I took a lot of time before I decided to switch careers. I spent a...
