  1. Conservative school for DNP?

    JeanettePNP replied to CRF250Xpert's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The political orientation of the school I attend means very little. Either the school offers a strong career foundation or it doesn't. Going for a more "conservative" school doesn't mean that it will...

  2. New grad NP working as floor nurse

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

    I appreciate your sharing your perspective. I intend to apply to both RN and NP positions and we'll see where it takes me. If I get offered a decent RN job before an NP offer comes through, you bet I...

  3. Now I get why experience means everything yet nothing

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

    Yes, time and money lost for THEM. I don't trust a word that comes out of any school administrator on the nursing shortage, on career opportunities for nurses, and how much bedside experience you...

  4. choosing a school, what influenced your decision

    JeanettePNP replied to jaznia15's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    For me there were a number of factors. Basically, everything that went into choosing my undergrad program, I went for the exact opposite for my masters. I chose my undergrad program because it was...

  5. How to prepare for NP school??

    JeanettePNP replied to silverbelle's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I had to take an advanced phys class for my master's but I didn't find that it covered that much more than undergrad. The thing I would concentrate on if you're pre-reading is pharm. My undergrad...

  6. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    JeanettePNP replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Frankly, if anyone/anything is to blame for the influx of NPs with no nursing experience, it is the powers that be that are SHUTTING NEW GRADS out of the profession. I graduated 18 months ago. GPA top...

  7. ANP/PNP versus FNP

    JeanettePNP replied to ILoveIceCream's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The only reason I could see would be if you already did one and then decided that you wanted to do the other. I can't think why anyone would want to do them separately from the

  8. Ebooks in Nursing School?

    JeanettePNP replied to hannah87's topic in General Students

    It was useful if I needed to look something up in the textbook during class because I did not shlep heavy textbooks back and forth to school every day. But for studying at home, using a paper textbook...

  10. Book buying tips

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in General Students

    What is your approach to buying textbooks? Do you buy in advance or wait until class starts to find out what you'll actually use? Do you buy new or old editions? Do you buy the books the school...

  11. Pediatric nurse practitioner salary

    JeanettePNP replied to Wed03's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well, that's kinda disappointing, that peds is the lowest paying specialty. But what can I do, I just couldn't see myself doing anything

  12. Pediatric nurse practitioner salary

    JeanettePNP replied to Wed03's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am bumping an old thread, but according to NAPNAP stats, no PNP anywhere in the country makes over $100K. That doesn't seem right to me so I'm checking over here. Maybe these are old stats, or...

  13. Do grades matter when applying for a job as a New Grad?

    JeanettePNP replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just curious-- why are you doing FNP now if you want CRNA? To answer your question, grades are not a huge help when applying for RN jobs and most likely not for NP jobs either. However, the head of...

  14. 2015 DNP

    JeanettePNP replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You do not need to be a DNP to learn new skills. You can pick up skills on the job as an NP. I don't think there's anything that's within the scope of practice for a DNP that's not for an NP. Maybe...

  15. New grad NP working as floor nurse

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

    It's hard to find per diem jobs when you're in grad school and your schedule isn't that flexible. Per diem usually means that they want you to be available when THEY need you, not that they need to...

  16. Starting PNP program in Fall 2011!

    JeanettePNP replied to StudentAmie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm starting my second semester of PNP program this fall. I have no peds experience to speak of other than as a volunteer (although I tried, good L-rd knows I tried) but I know I want to work with...

  17. Adolescent gains 9 lb in 3 months -- normal or abnormal?

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    An obese 14yo male gains 9 lb in 3 months. Is this a normal growth spurt or a symptom of pathology? From the research I've done so far it seems that a 15 lb weight gain in a year is normal during an...

  19. Columbia University ETP 2011

    JeanettePNP replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    Well, that's basically how I'm paying for it. I'm fortunate to have family members who are helping out with some of tuition, and student loans cover the rest. I did win one scholarship but...

  20. Can the PICU ever be fun?

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I know that the regular peds ward can have its lighthearted moments, especially when they're on the mend and on their way home. But what about PICU? Is it always serious and somber with all these...

    JeanettePNP replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in Nursing Career

    I think it's perfectly understandable for people to be insecure about their resumes. When you've sent out hundreds of them without getting a response you start to wonder... and as Fancy pointed out,...

  23. Nurse Practitioner student

    JeanettePNP replied to skisqueen625's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think your program advisor is the person in the best position to advise you about that. They know what the requirements are for your degree, what is offered each term, what the typical workload is...

  24. 8 y/o with brain injury

    That's so strange. Wouldn't a child who had a brain injury and was in a coma for 3 weeks be followed up by a neurologist as a matter of
