  1. NPs ever have to take call?

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

    How many days on call would you consider equivalent to one workday? i.e. let's say you want to offer an exchange for a colleague, to cover for you in the clinic one weekend day while you take their...

  2. You might want to avoid this recruiting company

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

    I just want to say that I've had only good experiences so far with Delta and the recruiters I've dealt with have been consistently professional, curteous and helpful. I suspect that whoever you...

  3. Tales of Woe; or, Nursing Job Search Fiascoes.

    JeanettePNP replied to Bortaz's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I applied for a job as a PNP in a family practice. The physician emailed me and said that he gets most of his pediatric patients as referrals from midwives and he's open to a natural approach. I told...

  4. Will you get a job not matter what school you received NP degree?

    JeanettePNP replied to sav3alif3RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I went to a school with a well-known name. I am trying to find a job out of state. I find that it does help me at least get looked at twice, despite not being a local applicant. If you plan to stay in...

  5. I BLEW MY CHANCE !!

    JeanettePNP replied to Bigmaine33's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think when we go into a job interview, we are so much into the "get this job" mode that we don't realize that there are two sides to the equation. They're sizing you up to see if you're a right fit...

  6. Is anybody else tired of the nurse practitioner craze?

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

    You know what? That's very nice if you get hired straight out of nursing school. I searched for my first nursing job for 6 months and then went back for my NP. I just refused to keep sitting on the...

  7. Munchausen by Internet: The Lying Disease that Preys on the Heart

    JeanettePNP replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    THere was a poster a few years ago who had a whole series of posts about how she evntually adopted a pt she cared for, a victim of sexual abuse. I always wondered if that really happened. I know that...

  8. Failed AANP

    JeanettePNP replied to RNGrad2006's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    For those of you who were taking practice exams, what were you averaging on practice tests before taking the exam? I am preparing for CPNP, I don't know how it compares to AANP, but I'm averaging...

  9. Tell me about continuing education credits

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new grad and we were never told anything about CE's during school. So please help me out here... What, exactly, are continuing education credits used for? Are they a requirement for your job?...

  10. Part time and job search

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am interviewing for a part time job in a primary care pediatric practice. Since I really need to be working full time, even if I accept this job I will continue the job search until I find a full...

  11. Part time and job search

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

    Oh, I am definitely interviewing for it. My question is whether I need to be upfront about the fact that I will be continuing to look or if I can accept a job without telling them that I plan to leave...

  12. The abandoned children

    JeanettePNP replied to anon456's topic in Pediatric

    I think that in at least some cases the parents care, but the burden of caring for a medically complex, chronically ill child just grinds down at them and depletes all their resources. t's one thing...

  13. question about pediatric NP?

    JeanettePNP replied to violet.spark's topic in Pediatric

    Hi Violet. Are you still in HS? As KelRN said, you'll first have to become an RN and then apply to master's programs to become an NP. Some programs will take you with no RN experience, but most will...

  14. Would they consider MCAT score for Accelerated BSN admission?

    JeanettePNP replied to gertel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. You need to stick with the application package they ask for. I still had to take the NLN test with basic elementary level arithmatic, even though it should have been superseded by my GRE...

  15. ACLS class as a student? good or pointless?

    JeanettePNP replied to procrastinator911's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I had ACLS/PALS certification and IV certification, all of which I paid for out of pocket (and no, I did not exactly have spare cash lying around). I also signed up for membership in various...

  16. Columbia ETP vs. master's

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Please help me understand this. If you have a non-nursing bachelor's and apply to Columbia ETP, you can go straight into an NP program with NO nursing experience, but if you already have a BSN and...

  17. NP who work primarily with children?

    JeanettePNP replied to Katie71275's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    From what I've seen PNP's are more in demand in larger cities. If you're in a smaller town or more rural area, there is more demand for FNP's who can treat patients in all age

  18. Salary for research nursing?

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Research

    I have an interview coming up for a clinical research coordinator position... not a specialty I thought I'd go into, but I'm a new grad so I need to take any opportunity that comes my way. Actually...

  19. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    JeanettePNP replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Mom brings in a 4yo. "His eyes were red yesterday." Eyes are totally clear today. What would you like us to do now about the eyes that were red

  20. Who else is a parent and soon to be or currently a NP student?

    JeanettePNP replied to Pug RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am in a PNP program and have 7 children. It is tough because I have a long commute to school and my clinical sites are also far. This summer is the hardest yet as I do 1-2 10-hour shifts in the peds...

  21. Can I go directly into a Nurse Practitioner program?

    JeanettePNP replied to lotsofsunshine's topic in General Students

    You can definitely get in to such a program but the question is whether it is advisable to do so. I am in such a program now and most of the job listings that i see for NP's require 3-5 years...

  22. Your thoughts on specialty clinical sites.....

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

    I'm in a PNP program and we didn't have much choice over our site placements, but so far I've done neuro, GI, liver transplant clinic and well newborns. Neuro and GI were both very useful as in...

  23. What is your year-round job?

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Camp

    I am working on getting my RN and camp nursing sounds like a fun thing to do in the summer so I can spend more time with my kids. But what do you do about your regular job? Do they let you take a...

  24. New grad NP working as floor nurse

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Let's say you go straight from BSN to NP without getting nursing experience first. After graduation you apply for floor nursing jobs in your specialty to build experience. Will you be considered the...

  25. Now I get why experience means everything yet nothing

    JeanettePNP replied to bsnanat2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What the job market tells you matters a lot more than what a school recruiter will tell you. Of course they want to boost their enrollment and student population as much as they can. More prestige and...
