    Resume suggestions?

    Annaiya replied to I♥Scrubs's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It was 2 jobs and I list them under a separate category. I only list significant employment on my résumé and then list all of my jobs if they require that as part of the online application process....

    Resume suggestions?

    Annaiya replied to I♥Scrubs's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't necessarily agree with this statement. I go back 13 years on my résumé although I've only been a nurse for 4 years. My prior career has absolutely nothing to do with nursing but it shows a...

    New Nurses Working in Critical Care

    Annaiya replied to gscervan's topic in Critical Care

    You will do great, don't worry about it! If you managed a 4.0 in school I have no doubt you'll commit the same time and effort to your new job. The ICU is a hard place to start for reasons that are...

    Are you certified in your specialty?

    Annaiya replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    My employer reimbursed for the first certification but not for any subsequent certifications. I really wanted my CCRN, so I paid for that myself. I feel it was totally worth it and encouraged my...

    Texas NPs

    Annaiya replied to Missy89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Is there something wrong with your resume or cover letter? If you aren't even getting called for interviews, I would look there first. You should at least be getting some interviews. You can google...

    Texas NPs

    Annaiya replied to Missy89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How is wanting to give your patient appropriate sedation for a painful procedure wanting to be an MD? Many of the barriers are absolutely ridiculous and hurt our patients. That's the part of your...

    Texas NPs

    Annaiya replied to Missy89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think the reason it seems to not be that bad is because its what everyone is used to. So the extra hoops are invisible until you've worked somewhere where they don't exist. There are constant issues...

    ONLINE NP students....

    Annaiya replied to TheDude77's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    20-30. Just depends on what is going on that

    Texas NPs

    Annaiya replied to Missy89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A lot of people aren't interested in Texas just from a cultural perspective. If you fit in then it's great but it isn't the place for everyone. As for the BoN, they require your education and training...

    Texas NPs

    Annaiya replied to Missy89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Overall the TX job market is good. Most people do not want to live in TX and then with the stricter BoN rules for APRNs the NP jobs here can be really hard to fill. The only person I've ever heard who...

    What should I do to get ready for Nursing School starting this Fall?

    Annaiya replied to cmariehill's topic in General Students

    Congratulations on getting into school! I do not recommend studying before school starts because you never know what your school is going to have you learn and there is plenty of studying to do after...

    FNP, pediatric rotation preparation

    Annaiya replied to moonischasingme1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There is always stuff you can look up in terms of conditions and treatments, but a lot of that you'll learn about from your preceptor depending on what types of patients you are seeing. I think the...

    TWU NP program

    Annaiya replied to chpeter82's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I know several people that went to TWU and worked full-time. It's doable but if you can afford to work part-time that would make it less

    Reactions to being a NP

    Annaiya replied to orangepink's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm surprised that you've experienced this. Maybe you live in an area with really low RN salaries? Most of the discussions I've had with the RNs I worked with was how they make more than NPs. The...

    The raw truth about what NPs really do

    Annaiya replied to ccuevas12's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Whether or not a job classification should be paid hourly with overtime or salaried is a legal definition outlined in the DOL's wage and hour laws. It isn't a choice. If you look at what constitutes...

    Surgical NP. Experience in OR in "children's hopital?"

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

    Im in TX, of course. And I realize that it isn't a lot of states at this point, but if the consensus model becomes more widespread throughout the states I think it is something that people...

    Surgical NP. Experience in OR in "children's hopital?"

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

    Only in some states, in the state I live in, an FNP cannot be a surgical

    Surgical NP. Experience in OR in "children's hopital?"

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

    By your name "pediOR" I'm guessing you're working in peds. One surgeon I know has 2 NPs working for him and they are both ACPNPs. If you want to stay with kids that is what I would suggest getting...

    The raw truth about what NPs really do

    Annaiya replied to ccuevas12's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think this attitude is very hurtful of the professional image of nurse practitioners. When you look at the wage and hour laws with regard to exempt and non-exempt employees, we are definitely in...

    Acute vs. Primary Care NP? Can't decide

    Annaiya replied to EGVnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just a comment on autonomy, my experience has been that clinic based NPs have a lot more autonomy than inpatient ones. In the inpatient setting, there are so many people checking things behind you,...

    The raw truth about what NPs really do

    Annaiya replied to ccuevas12's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think you really need to look at what it is about your current job that you dislike so much. It actually surprises me that so many people here have said that being an NP opens up more doors,...

    Surgical NP. Experience in OR in "children's hopital?"

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

    OR is not my background, but I agree that it doesn't seem like RN OR experience would be overly helpful. As a surgical NP, your job will be very different from an OR RN. I think it would be much...

    Is it normal for new NPs to have like a new grad internship?

    Annaiya replied to kim0208's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My experience has been that in a primary care office, there really isn't an orientation, you just see fewer patient a day to start. But for acute care, there seems to be around 3 months

    PNP or NNP.....what to decide?

    Annaiya replied to the.soapes's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Most people I know who work 24 hours shifts do not want to go back to 12s. Although you're at work a long time, generally you get some down time during the 24 hours, and you get a lot more time off...

    Employer's Negative Response to Teaching Hospital Experience

    Annaiya replied to slr0610's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow, that was completely not my reading of her post. I too have 3 years ICU experience and my CCRN. I don't know if you've taken the exam before, but it is HARD! It takes dedication and a brain to...
