1. New NP Mentor Program--Does one exisit?

   np2b posted a topic in NP

   I'd like to develop a mentoring program with my local professional NP organization. My aim is basically to link recently-graduated (within a couple of years) NPs with more senior and specialized NPs for advice, questions, clinical information, etc. ...

2. New Grad trying to decide on some job opportunities...

   np2b replied to np2b's topic in NP

   Thanks for the reply! (And the congrats.) In the end, I didn't take the job. Definitely one of the hardest decisions I've made in a while, but in the end it's the end it's the one that feels right. Let's hope I feel that way a few months from now.....

3. New Grad trying to decide on some job opportunities...

   np2b posted a topic in NP

   Would LOVE some input/objective opinions from anyone willing to offer it. :) The short question: Would the ability to work only 4 days per week (less than full time) severely impact my ability to get a job as an NP straight out of school? Here's the...

4. Getting Ready For Boards

   np2b replied to twalker's topic in Post Graduate

   I'm thinking about springing for the FNP Fitzgerald CDs, since they're so highly regarded (and because I have so little time to run through test questions right now). But I was wondering...what's the teaching style? Does it use a lot of mneumonics ...

   I just checked back on this thread after being away for a couple of days. Thanks, Core0! Very, very, very helpful stuff.

6. Finding local NP salaries

   np2b replied to np2b's topic in NP

   Thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. For clarification, I'm an FNP student, with a few years experience in an Emergency Department as a staff nurse. I live in the DC area. I think my first priority will always be finding a practice that, payc...

7. Finding local NP salaries

   np2b posted a topic in NP

   Here's a question that I can't find in the archives: how do you guys go about figuring out what is a competitive salary in your region? How do you compensate for the wide variations between experienced vs. unexperienced nurses, specialty work vs. a ...

8. Game: Name that smelly drug

   np2b replied to Rhoresmith's topic in General Nursing

   "AC" is, I'm guessing, acetylcysteine...the generic name for Mucomyst. K

9. What do you think about...

   np2b replied to humiliated's topic in NP

   Hi...I haven't read the replys to this posting in detail, but I wanted to give you the perspective of someone who started in an accelerated program, but stepped back a bit. I started in a masters-entry program for the FNP. I did my research, and rea...

10. Do you keep a "med kit" in your car? What's in it?

    np2b replied to np2b's topic in Emergency

    Thank you again for the responses. I feel a little bit better knowing that not everyone runs from the scene of an accident, and I totally respect the fact that there is only so much that you can do. (Even if I weren't a new nurse, I would prefer to ...

11. Do you keep a "med kit" in your car? What's in it?

    np2b replied to np2b's topic in Emergency

    Wow. Thanks for the responses. The thread was dead for a couple of days, so I let it lie, but I'm glad I came back to take a look! I'm a little bummed by the legal fears. I suppose everyone thinks that the risk of helping someone and being sued ar...

12. Do you keep a "med kit" in your car? What's in it?

    np2b posted a topic in Emergency

    Hi everyone! Ok, here's my story: I'm driving home from visiting with some nursing-school friends when the van in front of me hits a 12 year old riding his bicycle, and hits him hard: bad enough to throw the kid into the other lane of traffic and t...

13. How long until you got your Maryland results?

    np2b replied to np2b's topic in NCLEX

    Well, for you guys taking it in Maryland, it takes them about a week to post the new licenses. (I caved and called in for my unofficial scores after a week, and the license ended up showing up later in the afternoon.) I passed...thank heavens!

15. How long until you got your Maryland results?

    np2b replied to np2b's topic in NCLEX

    Yeah, that's just it. I can look up a license in Maryland, but my name isn't there yet. I know that it's possible that I didn't pass, but I've also heard it can take up to a week for people to get their license posted. I was just hoping that someo...
