My recruiter notified me of a NP hospitalist position that has opened, and it would be working 7 on/7 off from 1900-0700. Does anyone work this schedule? Is it typical?
Hi! I will be starting new job with an internal medicine office this week, and I'm very excited about it! What are must-have reference books? I currently have Epocrates on my iPhone. Thanks!
I am a new ANP grad, and I just accepted an offer for a NP position. I start in about 2 1/2 weeks. While I'm excited about the position and practice I'll be working, I'm not as excited about the benefits since it is a smaller, private practice. Th...
I just started my first NP job last week at an allergy/asthma office. From conversation and the interview, I was under the impression I would be caring for adults, or at least adolescents. Well, the physician is expecting me to care for children of...
I'm only an ANP, no other specialties. When he mentioned that, red flags went up. I'm still on orientation and have not seen any patients on my own. Is there anything in writing I could refer to? I'm going to be resigning from the position.
True; however, earlier in my search I was turned down because of lack of experience, so I never really had a chance to see what was out there. I jumped on and accepted my first job offer. I have nothing to lose since I'm already hired, so I figured...

Most post-master's NP certificates require you to have completed a master's-level NP program first. I completed my NP (adult) program through Ball State. All of it was online, and it worked out well with my schedule since I work and have a family. ...

I had great support from my husband (helping w/care of our 2yo, housework, sometimes cooking, etc). I worked part-time (night shift) and went to school kind of an in-between part-time and full-time. I usually took 2 courses, unless it was a clinica...
I recently graduated from the Adult NP program, and I've been unsuccessful in my job search. Most of the jobs require experience which is so frustrating as a new grad. I live in a bigger city, and we're not able to relocate because of my husband's ...
Long story short, I work in the NICU as a RN. I started off in the FNP program but switched during my last semester to ANP. While I love the neonatal patients, I also enjoy the adults. While I love kids in general, I had no interest in the pediatr...

Well, I did the reverse...I'm a NICU nurse and just completed ANP program. Now, I'm thinking I want to go back for NNP, especially since the job market for ANPs (new grads, specifically) is horrible. If you're interested in NNP, you'll need at lea...

If you are 100% sure you want to work in women's health, and you have no other interest, I'd go with WHNP. If you want to keep your options open (if the job market for WHNPs is like my area---slim to none) and be more marketable, I'd go for FNP.
I'm currently in the FNP program (distance-learning) at Ball State University. The most stressful and frustrating parts of the program are finding preceptors and clinical faculty for each course, and BSU is so picky about the qualifications for prec...
TerryBSN: I feel your pain...I live just outside of Indianapolis, and you'd think I'd have no problems in a big city! I think it has a lot to do with NPs going back for their DNP or the competitive schools in the area. ALCCRN: I'd be interested ...
I've been a NICU nurse for 5 years now, but have been wanting a change for quite some time now. I've always had an interest in L&D but never pursued it...now I have an interview next week. While I'm excited about this possible new position, I'm ...
Hi--- I'm new here and am looking into finding out more about the CRNA profession. I am Neonatal ICU RN with 4 years of experience. ***Does Neonatal ICU experience meet the ICU requirements of most programs? ***Are CRNA students able to work part-t...
I'm in the Family NP program, and I'm currently working in Neonatal (during the last 3 years since graduating from nursing school). Would you recommend transferring to a different unit (such as GYN or Med/Surg) to get more nursing experience with adu...
What (diagnoses, etc?) exactly is the GYN floor? I'm in a FNP program, and I'm thinking about switching from Neonatal to GYN for more experience with adults. Any thoughts?
