I'll add mine- sorry if there's repeats: Tyquavis Crew Liberty Gem For awhile we had the "Stripper Pod"- Diamond, Diamond Asia, and Paris And we had a story going around the first NICU I worked in about a Hispanic mom who decided to name her baby Meconium-apparently she heard the word and thought it sounded pretty and no one could talk her out of it. Could be one of those "nursing legends":D

I don't know where in NC you are hoping to do your NNP, but UNC has an RN-MSN option where you don't have to finish your BSN before starting the program (you just have to take a few bridge courses). You might be a little optomistic in being done with the MSN-NNP portion of your coursework in 1 1/2 years going part time. UNC at least says 4 semesters plus a summer for full time, about 6 plus a summer for part time. The best thing you could probably do is talk to/e-mail an admissions advisor at the school. They can give you lots of good information!:)

Hey- since everyone here is such a great fountain of knowledge, I wanted to get some feedback. I'm an RN looking into doing FNP school. I don't really want/need to be working full time when I graduate, as I have small children and a DH who will be an orthodontist when I finish:D . I'm just wondering how possible it would be to get an FNP job for one day a week as a new grad? Also, is it imperative that I work when done to keep my license, or can that just be done with enough CE credit? I'm sure that depends on the state, and I'm looking somewhere in the ID/MT/UT area. It probably seems a little odd to be wondering about how hard it is to not use an FNP, and you may be asking why I'm looking at school when I don't want to work. Well, my hubby is currently attending a school that offers one of the few RN-MSN programs, and doing it now would save me having to finish my BSN and retaking other prerequisite classes later. When my kids are grown, I'd like to be able to just start working and not have to worry about school then. I also love the opportunities that an FNP gives me for humanitatian work. Anyway, sorry for rambling. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
