    Uberman5000 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Uberman5000 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  8. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    Uberman5000 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  9. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    Uberman5000 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hence the double phallacy 1) You wont get hired unless you have "experience". Again its a matter of other APRN's who "think you should"...its a matter of if the person hiring you cares. 2) All...

    Uberman5000 replied to Demonsthenes's topic in Men in Nursing

    Uberman5000 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just because a few hospitals in Chicago told you they wouldnt hire a APRN with "no expierience" doesnt mean that it does not happen all the time. Take a private clinic for example....or what if you...

  14. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    Uberman5000 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    To some degree it depends on your previous experience..but we all have to start somewhere. Keep in mind NP's generally have a different purview than RN's so you could very well be doing primary care....

  15. New Grads - Rotten Shifts?

    Uberman5000 replied to MililaniMom's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm...I dont follow - It seems like a pretty uneducated statement. "All new grads dont have a choice of shifts". Try not to base your entire decision whether or not to join the nursing profession...

  16. Totally floored - put on Probation in FNP program? I can't take this anymore!!!!

    Uberman5000 replied to lannisz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
