As nurses we are all exposed to some form of stress, the good and bad. I am curious to find out what you guys do to let off some steam and release some stress. Keep it clean! For me I started doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It's a good workout and very th...

New grad here. Will be working 4 shifts per week. Starting at 105K with $2500 for CMEs. Located down south. I’ll

That's pretty low. Nurses with a few years experience can make that working some extra hours.

Most of the interviews that I have been on with different organizations will cover all onboarding costs.

Hi! Any updates on your career in pain management? I'm in a similar position that you were in. I interviewed at a few spine and pain places. The first one wants me to see 20-25 pt's per day, the second practice appears to be better suited for me as a...

That's great. I'm still going through the interview process as well. Just be patient.

That's just ridiculous and hard to fathom. As a provider, I would certainly like to earn more than I would make working as a nurse. All that education and you are not getting properly compensated.

Any NPs here in pain management? I am a new grad FNP with a specialty in ortho. Any thoughts or experiences in this field? It seems like this field has many benefits in the long run.

Seems like a legit place and not a pill mill. I'll have the opportunity to do procedures such as nerve and joint injections. I feel like this place is very similar to my orthopedic rotation in sports medicine when I was in NP school. I don't know, ma...

Some questions I came across were: 1. Tell me about yourself? 2. Why do you want to get into (insert field/specialty)? 3. Tell me about an incident....what would you do if...tell me about a time when you did this....what happened? What did you do? 4....

I am a new grad myself and have had several interviews. They are all different with questions ranging from behavioral type questions to clinical questions.

Nice read. Very helpful.

So I have a second interview coming up, this time it's to interview with the director of the organization. My first interview was a panel style with 3 to 4 interviewers and I felt intimidated even though it was supposed to be "relaxed" or "casual." ...

Thank you! It is a primary care clinic. This interview was way more relaxed.

The one I looked into was 60K/yr, $500 for CME, FT employee benefits. No guarantees if you will be hired post-fellowship. Also, 20K sign-on bonus for a 2-year commitment into the specialty.

Hey all, Just wanted to know who is considering going to Duke for their FNP next fall. I know it's still early to apply, but the deadline is just around the corner.

That's the route that I'm probably going to take after school. I might do a one year fellowship in UC with the hospital system that I'm currently working in after graduation to gain more experience.

It took me a good 2 months to really polish my statement of purpose. I only applied to Duke, so for me it was go big or go home. I thought I bombed my interview (phone). Then was relieved when the professor said that she is recommend me for the prog...

I recently learned UNC had am orthopedic fellowship program. It's 2 years long. I'm also considering the CHS UC fellowship when I'm done with school. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses. Pardon for any misspelled words, I blame it on auto-correct.

Hey guys, I'm considering switching over to home health. I've been in nursing now for 4 years and have worked in ICU and the ED. I also have a background in respiratory therapy, which I did for 5 years. My current situation is that I will be going to...

Hey, what board review books do you recommend?

Thanks for your input everyone! I think for now, I'll stick to my current place of employment and tough it out until i finish grad school
