  1. Am I Crazy? Revaming the RN/NP school curriculum...

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

    I think students would get more out of it if nursing school looked something like this: Freshman Year (Fall/Spring) BIO I/BIO II Chem I/Chem II Freshman English/Freshman English Elective/Elective...

  2. Am I Crazy? Revaming the RN/NP school curriculum...

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

    I am leaning more towards a PhD in biophysics/physiology than an MD degree, but we'll see. My preceptor this past semester was an MD and he was more a nurse than ANY nurse I have ever met; very...

  3. Am I Crazy? Revaming the RN/NP school curriculum...

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

    @hoosier: I think we churn out RNs to function at a basic level, instead of striving for an OPTIMAL level. I think knowledge of the sciences would help RNs regardless of their scope of practice in...

  4. What kinds of patients do you see?

    greygooseuria replied to %63theend's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am in NP school now, with one year left to go. I've been an RN for almost 3 years and have worked in acute care peds, med/surg and in rehab/LTC. The aspect I have found most useful from my nursing...

  5. USM ABSN Summer 2012

    greygooseuria replied to bmichellejoyner's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to those that didn't get in. I did the program May '08-Aug '09 (god seems so long ago now) and there were over 250 applications for our class of like 21 students. It's hard to get in, and all of...

  6. S/O of NP wage thread re: tangible and intangible COL issues

    greygooseuria replied to linearthinker's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have no family shackling me down, so when I graduate in 2013, my goal is simply to live in Chicago after graduation and work with low income families while enjoying my friends and enjoying the rest...

  7. Average hourly rate for NP?

    greygooseuria replied to GingerRiley's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I disagree trauma...Chicago is indeed THE most beautiful place on Earth, if not the

  8. 2015 DNP

    greygooseuria replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    This sounds like what is needed at the MASTERS level too!! In my BSN program, we didn't have fluff bull classes, so I don't get why in my MSN we do. I hate that I have literally wasted THOUSANDS of...

  9. starting clinicals...work schedule?

    greygooseuria replied to studentANP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I plan on doing only weekends when my clinicals start. I'll be doing every Friday/Saturday night and do clinicals Monday/Wednesday/Thursday with class on Tuesday. I may use PTO for some Fridays to get...

  10. BSN to MSW

    greygooseuria replied to Lina Marie's topic in General Nursing

    Just gonna come in and negate everything everyone here has said. I once debated doing an MSW or going and getting my BSN. Needless to say, I decided to not attend an MSW program I had been accepted to...

  11. Job market for new grads

    greygooseuria replied to phosphorus's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Where do people search for jobs? I've looked on indeed.com and advancepracticejobs.com but most seem to be hospital based positions and I'll be an FNP. I want to relocate once I graduate and I'm not...

  12. New grad salary in Boston hospitals?

    greygooseuria posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I want to work in Boston after I finish my BSN, and was wondering what entry level salaries are like, particularly at MGH or Children's Memorial or BIDMC? Any ideas? I know NYC starts around 65-75k...

  13. USM ABSN Clinicals

    greygooseuria replied to ritcal24's topic in General Nursing

    I did the program and graduated in 2009. I'm in the FNP MSN program now. Clinicals start in the fall. The first two summer sessions are 2 classes each and have labs on campus. After that, you have 2...

  14. USM accelerated BSN May 2011

    greygooseuria replied to idget16's topic in General Nursing

  15. These classes are nonsense

    greygooseuria replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Mine too!

  16. In progress MSN... can't stand nursing theory... switching to PA school ASAP

    greygooseuria replied to algebra_demystified's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think theory is more useful if you plan on going into research, because research really SHOULD have a theoretical foundation and lens. Here is why I think theory belongs in a master of science in...

  17. FNP program...what to take as electives?

    greygooseuria posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am currently in my second semester of an FNP program and will start clinicals next January and graduate in May 2013. After some soul searching about whether to do medical school or become an NP,...

  18. In progress MSN... can't stand nursing theory... switching to PA school ASAP

    greygooseuria replied to algebra_demystified's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I was gonna say algebra...maybe it's just your school that is horrible. I have one class in nursing theory in my FNP program and we skimmed it in research methods (and it was mentioned once in my BSN...

  19. Scary reading doctor forums about NPs...

    greygooseuria replied to thenewguy8's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    People do realize it was an MD that started the NP profession, right? I am in NP school right now and have been a nurse for about 18 months. Last month, I saved a patient's life by catching an error...

  20. Let's talk about the basic facts about the health care reform bill...

    greygooseuria replied to morningland's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Linda, your analogy makes no sense since this ISN'T free. Requiring insurance is a good idea; now hospitals won't have to jack up prices from all the people visiting the ER without insurance and not...

  21. What are my chances?

    greygooseuria posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Ok so I am applying to BSN-DNP programs this fall as well as MSN programs (with preference for the BSN-DNP programs) and I am a bit nervous about getting accepted. The reason is my cumulative GPA is...

  23. Any UAB NP students/graduates?

    greygooseuria replied to Riker3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I applied for Fall 2010 and am waiting to hear back. I was told I would get a response by June 30. The wait is going to kill

  24. Move to Pittsburgh?

    greygooseuria replied to hpcat's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Are you sure his school is near Highland Park? I can't think of ANY university up in that area...is he at Pitt or CMU? Those are in Oakland. Duquesne and Point Park are downtown. Magee is the OB/GYN...

  25. What time does PearsonVue post results?

    greygooseuria posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took my NCLEX Thursday morning and finished just before 9AM...any idea when they post results on Saturday, if at all? I am DYING to know if I passed or not...according to the trick, I did, but I...
