    Grandfather clause for DNP?

    yellow finch replied to forpath's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I know of a practicing CRNA who still only holds a post-BSN certificate. He was grandfathered into the current requirements by keeping his certification active. I also know of a PA who recently...

    Atlanta Hospitals Hiring new RN Graduates

    yellow finch replied to Reidme's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Kennestone. I'm not sure what the new grad pay is right now since we just had that cost of living increase earlier in the year. I think it's somewhere in the region of $22-23. Does that sound about...

    No, pain isn't my preference. I just posted that job listing because it was the first one with any specific details on compensation that I've come across in my area. Job listings here typically tell...

    Is there ANY department in nursing that I can avoid cleaning up poo?

    yellow finch replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    OMG. That reminds me of the time I was planning on getting my patient to have a BM since he hadn't had one in the 12 days he'd be on our unit. It was the same day he was going down for a peg and...

    Job listing - Please review and comment

    yellow finch replied to yellow finch's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So "includes call" means you don't get paid extra to be on call? I guess that's how I'm interpreting it. Seeing how this is a pain clinic I'm thinking it will mean a lot of calls per hour since the...

    ADD and social anxiety need advice

    yellow finch replied to wannabeeverything's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Worry not. I have anxiety, ADD, and OCD. Medications help my anxiety (yay for Cymbalta and Xanax!) and I utilize the other two to my benefit. ADD allows me to hyperfocus on patient care as well as...

    yellow finch replied to Reidme's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Not to be discouraging, but I've been in communication with another nurse here about the L&D new grad program and she recently found out that they're full until next year. Apply everywhere you...

    Congratulations on your acceptance! I'm in the last 6 months of my FNP program that has over 700 hours of clinicals! Had I known this about the program I may have chosen another school. No, you may...

    So do you think that the health insurance could be negotiated to be immediate coverage and ask for CME days? One last question... what does "includes call"

    LPN --> NP??

    yellow finch replied to mom_3cuties's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As long as your degree is from an accredited school and you pass your boards there shouldn't be any issue. I work with a number of nurses who have varying degrees from online programs and these are...

    Atlanta Hospitals Hiring new RN Graduates

    yellow finch replied to Reidme's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Have you applied online or in person? I found that applying for jobs in person was the best way to get in for an interview as opposed to the online route. I know for a fact that WellStar is hiring. If...

    LPN --> NP??

    yellow finch replied to mom_3cuties's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you're looking for online education, a great place to start is Petersons. One school that offers a lot of science courses online is Mountain State U. If you have any specific questions about online...

    Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    yellow finch replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Interesting comment from my current preceptor... she won't take students if they have never worked at the bedside because she feels that it is not her duty to "train" the NP student how to see and...

    yellow finch posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    During one of my online searches I came across a job opening for NPs to work with the Hospitalist group within my current facility. This was the first job I wanted when starting the FNP program except...

    Pathophysiology class

    yellow finch replied to 2008el's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm sure that just about any of the schools in the Atlanta area offer Pathophys since it's a requirement in just about all the BSN programs here. Kennesaw and GA State both offer it. KSU has an...

    From adult CNS to FNP???

    yellow finch replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Don't forget about online programs. They would allow you to complete a post-masters program and they all take into account your previous education. I know that in my search for a post-masters ACNP...

    yellow finch replied to 7starbuck7's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Holy moley. Our school had SPSS for free via online. I can't imagine having to pay for it after seeing those prices! *gasp* Best of luck with Stats. I'm SOOOO happy it's long over for me.
