    LaeDeesNP replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

    Hi rroo, I would leave it out. As you said, it's not very competitive; but also, you are already giving them your GPA from your major nursing courses from your BSN. In the working world, it's not...

    LaeDeesNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi all, I'm looking for information about how CEUs have been included in total compensation packages. We all know that they are necessary to maintain our respective certifications. I'd like to hear...

    Are there any Emory University students here? I'll be starting the WHNP program in the fall and am looking to get in touch with other soon-to-be or current students. :typing Anyone also going into the...

  4. Wanting to leave the hospital & work in primary care. Will I be penalized once a FNP?

    LaeDeesNP replied to caitiecait's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, it's definitely possible to get a job in women's health as an FNP. In fact, some people would encourage you to go the FNP route instead of WHNP to broaden your horizons. I don't know where I...

  5. Wanting to leave the hospital & work in primary care. Will I be penalized once a FNP?

    LaeDeesNP replied to caitiecait's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not an FNP (I'm a WHNP) but I figured I'd weigh in anyways... :-) I think the simple answer to your question is: no. The more complicated answer is: it would depend on the jobs you apply to once...

    LaeDeesNP posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    Hi everyone! I posted this in the Advanced Practice section but wanted to also put it here as it may help the responses. I'm reaching out looking for any advice or leads on jobs in the northern VA,...

  8. Financial Aid Letter - Vanderbilt

    LaeDeesNP replied to MedVision's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I didn't attend Vanderbilt however, I would think it's safe to assume that the Financial Aid office wouldn't bother processing and evaluating your packet if you hadn't been accepted. That's just my...

  9. NP vs. PA

    LaeDeesNP replied to mondkmondk's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just so you know, there are one-year Adult NP programs out there at very respectable universities. They are INTENSE and expensive, but worth it if you are concerned with years spent in school, out of...

  10. Addicts!!! NURSES How do you seperate addicts from pts. who really are in pain?!

    LaeDeesNP replied to chasemelony's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Katherined. I remember, very clearly, being taught that pain is SUBJECTIVE. It is what a person says it is, for them, which is why we have multiple pain scales. Yes, there are objective...

  11. Need to Connect with NPs

    LaeDeesNP replied to sissykim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you are a member of a professional organization, at times they have advertisements of nurse practitioner news (local, national meetings in various locations) in their publications. I would try...

  12. Emory University - Atlanta

    LaeDeesNP posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi everyone! Since I didn't get much of a response (or any!) from my last post regarding Emory University, I thought I'd go a different route. Is anyone currently attending Emory U's MSN program,...

  13. what is an okay GPA to put on your resume?

    LaeDeesNP replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

    I've been told by professional resume advisers to include your GPA if it's 3.50 or above. That is, if you want to include it on your resume. I don't think it being left off your resume will make or...

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

    Thank you for the reply. :) It was very helpful. We're aware that the cost of living in and around the DC area is high, so we're trying to find the best areas that would suit our needs. Thankfully, my...

  18. Are there many WHNP jobs out there?

    LaeDeesNP replied to SydneyJo1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Another point to keep in mind is the ability to get a post-masters certificate in another specialty (FNP, ANP) if you want to broaden your options. Now, having said that... Do I think someone is going...

  19. Are there many WHNP jobs out there?

    LaeDeesNP replied to SydneyJo1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm a WHNP (currently looking for work) and can tell you that there ARE jobs out there. People may tell you to do ANP or FNP just to give you more options which isn't bad advice, however I knew I...

    LaeDeesNP replied to pedspnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    LaeDeesNP replied to D&Ggirl's topic in General Nursing

    I work for the Army in a "doctor's office" (we call it an ambulatory clinic, anywho...) as an RN and I can tell you that this role is multifaceted. Here, I triage (in person or on the phone) patients...

  25. Any students attending Emory University this fall?

    LaeDeesNP replied to LaeDeesNP's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I did receive some scholarship and grant awards, however it is not enough to cover the entire cost of attendance. I'll be taking out federal loans and paying the rest as I go. I'd like to find a PT...
