JUST DO IT! Your wisdom and experience will make you a great NP.FNP's will be in charge of most of the health care in our country, especially with changes in health care in the U.S. FNP's will be the ones doing most of the primary care for families, ...

I worked as an NP at PP years ago. We did have LPN's working in the recovery area on abortion days. They also had to handle and dispose of the products of conception. I would suggest you volunteer first to be sure you are okay with working with gro...

Anyone have experience with CHAMBERLAIN on line nursing degree? The RN to BSN option? Costs? clinical? Any info at all?Thanks-- :zzzzz

Iasis does not have the best reputation in the area. Chandler and Mercy Gilbert fall into the "BEST TO WORK FOR" category every year here in Az. I worked for Chandler and the benefits were great. Van Buren is NOT a safe area. Just be careful in the ...

Thanks ! I am feeling this company is very caring. The salary actually works out to a little more than 30, I am content. Mostly,I want a position where I can enjoy my work and have some autonomy . In training right now--hard work! Thanks for the enco...

I just got an offer for Hospice nursing here in the valley.I need to work full time while I finish my BSN/MSN program. Not interested in acute care.I am worried I did not negotiate better for pay rate. I have been offered $30/hour( paid on a salary ...

I just signed on to Chamberlain for the Online BSN program. They are VERY HELPFUL and friendly. The time factor over rides the expense, for me.I can complete my BSN in 10 months! I start Sept.1 . Do look into them..they were the easiest and most frie...

HELP! I somehow can't private message--have more questions about chamberlain..I was on vacation, river, and came home to your nice email how do I PM you??? MADELINE

I am an NP (14 years) and I am leaving office practice to finish my MSN and get into education! (I got my NP before you needed to have an MSN to do it..) Offices use you as a "mini"'doctor. at half the MD salary.You will see too many patients in a d...

I went the community college route in the early 80's-- in Iowa.. no wait lists. Cost me about $4000 for the 2 year program and when we moved to Az. that year I got a job immediately. I had taken student loans and was able to pay them back promptly. ...

Are nurses in Arizona already able to perform massage therapy under their RN license? I have received mostly a "YES" answer to this. Though I'd like to take some targeted courses on the types of relaxation massage I want to perform, I do not want to...

How do I PM someone??? Also--thanks to replies regarding massage. I have found out that an NP may perform massage but not calling herself a massage therapist.I actually have taken a number of massage classes over the past few years, and have been d...

Someone needs to give you a realistic answer. You can't possibly think you can handler nursing education and then 12 hour shifts with a bad back. STRESS makes chronic pain worse too . I suggest you see a good counselor at your school or in your commu...

I graduated a long time ago--1984.I attended an ADN program in Iowa while my husband was studying at Palmer. I borrowed about $3000 and that covered all of it. There was still one hospital based (diploma) nursing program in town,too. I was taught ...
