    shannonFNP posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have done a few searches, but haven't found many responses (or at least newer) re: St. Joseph's nurse practitioner program. I'm considering it because it seems flexible, reasonable, and like a good...

    Hello everyone, As a student going into my third and final clinical rotation, I have had to deal with the horrors of trying to find a preceptor in the nick of time to start the rotation. I tried...

    NP Timeline

    shannonFNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello all! I was wondering if you all could detail the time it took you from the date of passing your certification exam to the date you received your license. Especially for Texas NPs. I've taken...

    Ipad and FNP school!

    shannonFNP replied to marienurse18's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm only 25 years old. Yet, when I was in nursing school, I was the "cool kid" because I had a palm pilot to load my drug books onto! A year later, out comes the first iPhone! Technology is crazy....

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

    Thanks for your responses! Sorry for the misunderstanding, BostonFNP. I know that the degree comes from the program :). I just meant that I've worked 2+ years for this degree... I'm ready to use it...

    How old were you when you made the choice to become a NP?

    shannonFNP replied to mmcc26's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was 11 when I made the choice to become a nurse practitioner. Seriously. My class had to do a "career fair." We applied at "jobs" with local volunteers. If we got the job, we could skip a day of...

    "Why didn't you go to medical school?"

    shannonFNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sorry for the provocative title :) I'm mostly curious what your responses are when a patient asks you: "Why did you become an NP instead of a doctor?" & "What's the difference between a NP and a...

    Nurse Practitioner Pay in Federal BOP

    shannonFNP replied to pennprincess's topic in Correctional

    After doing some research, I found that that starting salary in Texas is around $80,000 in the prisons. I love that government salaries are open to the public... but I wasn't thrilled that each...

    CCHP certification exam

    shannonFNP replied to Findingmynitch's topic in Correctional

    Also, I'm looking for per diem agency RN jobs in corrections, but they don't have them in my area . I really am intrigued by correctional nursing. I just stumbled on the thought of it. I'm wanting...

    CCHP certification exam

    shannonFNP replied to Findingmynitch's topic in Correctional

    Oh, thank you! I completely missed the part where you had to have the CCHP first. I would love to test for it, but I just saw how far away all of the sites are from me (Texas)! I have ordered the...

    CCHP certification exam

    shannonFNP replied to Findingmynitch's topic in Correctional

    Sorry to revive an old topic! I was wondering if you all took the CCHP or CCHP-RN? I've never worked in corrections, but have been strangely drawn to applying to a few positions when I'm certified...

    Nurse Practitioner Pay in Federal BOP

    shannonFNP replied to pennprincess's topic in Correctional

    I'm curious, what did your salary end up being? Did you take the job? I'm not sure why, but I'm kind of drawn to corrections when I pass my boards (waiting on that ATT). I've never worked...

    St. Joseph's College: Maine

    shannonFNP replied to gerinurse10's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There is no need to go to campus, although I highly recommend going during the summer's if you can. Well worth the cost of a flight and boarding. You can finish those courses a lot faster (wish I had...

    Does anyone know who the clinical coordinator is now? And I've heard that SJCME rearranged clinicals to where adults are now first, and Peds/OB are later. Does anyone know this for

    Texas Evening/Weekend Courses?

    shannonFNP posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm far beyond stressed when I even start to think about nursing school. I know that Fall 2007 will accept me into their nursing program. However, it's a day course. Unfortunately the only evening...
