  1. How to let go

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

    It is her life, so she has the choice to do whatever she wants. That being said, it is NOT your fault and you did your

  2. Don't Hate Me, All....

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

    I don't see what is so hard or wrong with saying "I'm Dr. So and So, and I'm your nurse practitioner on the transplant/cardiac/nephrology/primary care

  3. Looking for info on getting into an ER in Pittsburgh

    greygooseuria replied to baylor06's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'd check upmc.com for job postings; since you have experience, I think getting into the ER would be easy. UPMC Presby is the best hospital in the city, but Children's has the busiest ER in the city...

  4. name that hospital and its starting salary

    greygooseuria replied to krazaygerl's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    UPMC system starts new grads at

  5. How long to get PA TPP?

    greygooseuria replied to greygooseuria's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    It was actually issued the 24th! The reason I couldn't find it is because my name was spelled wrong on their website. I need to call them and have that corrected. Joe, the NCLEX is offered every day....

  6. How long to get PA TPP?

    greygooseuria posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I sent out my stuff to PA on August 14, and they said they received it August 19. How long does it take for them to send you your TPP? I didn't think there'd be many August graduates so I'm kinda...

  7. Students who got their NP/MSN online

    greygooseuria posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Have you had trouble finding work at all? I am considering doing an online FNP program but I am worried I won't get a job after since it will be an online degree (even though clinicals are obviously...

  8. Don't Hate Me, All....

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

    Really? They're doing good work? Tell that to the first year resident who misinterpreted a heart rate strip as a-fib when it was multiple PVCs and then got mad when ME, the nursing student and other...

  9. Grad school grades

    greygooseuria replied to ghillbert's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I have never heard that before, and doubt it. I have never been to a school that offered A+ as a grade,

  10. "Acute care experience"

    greygooseuria replied to Ninja Nurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No, they mean acute care experience as an RN. I was a CNA too; being a CNA is NOTHING like being an RN. Being a CNA helps for your first med surg clinical in terms of bed manner; that's about it. It's...

  11. Students who got their NP/MSN online

    greygooseuria replied to greygooseuria's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Well that is reassuring to hear. Did they have trouble finding clinicals in their area? For me, I already know pretty much where I want to do mine so it may not affect me as much. I've heard good...

  12. New grad starting @ the NEW Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC in the PICU!!!

    greygooseuria replied to aljRN32's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I think this is different then. It says it is 1 year long on the website (and the recruiter said it was new to me as of this year) and that all new grads have to do it. I was originally starting Sept...

  13. New grad starting @ the NEW Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC in the PICU!!!

    greygooseuria replied to aljRN32's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I believe the numbers are online. However, there aren't many positions open. I was offered this one because I job shadowed on the unit back in October and have been keeping in touch with the manager...

  14. New grad starting @ the NEW Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC in the PICU!!!

    greygooseuria replied to aljRN32's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    No, the RN Residency Program is a year long program for all new grads, separate from unit

  15. New grad starting @ the NEW Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC in the PICU!!!

    greygooseuria replied to aljRN32's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Congrats! I was supposed to start at Presby in September but I got a call last week from a manager at Children's and had an interview Monday and was told to expect good news by the end of this week! I...

  16. Should I do NP or DNP in the near future?

    greygooseuria replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    This depends entirely on the school. University of Pittsburgh and Columbia both require residencies in the DNP as more clinical time. You don't get to count hours for a research

  17. I GOT A JOB!!!

    greygooseuria replied to june2009's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    It's what I heard at my interview. I am hoping to god it isn't

  18. I GOT A JOB!!!

    greygooseuria replied to june2009's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Did your school send your stuff to PA exactly on the 31st or a little after? That is comforting to

  19. I GOT A JOB!!!

    greygooseuria replied to june2009's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    How long did it take you guys to get your TPP back from PA? I graduate August 21 and I am supposed to start September 14 and the time crunch scares me. Also, has UPMC converted to all white scrubs...

  20. Any males out there tired of the drama?

    greygooseuria replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Male Nursing Students

    There are many females at my nursing school that hate the other females for ******** and moaning about everything. I am getting really, really sick of the constant complaining about EVERYTHING. And so...

  21. Would You Prefer a Male Nurse?

    greygooseuria replied to djc1981's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I had a patient in my OB rotation Friday night (and I helped deliver her baby!). She was more comfortable talking with me than the female physicians/nurses, but I think she may have picked up on the...

  22. campus-based BSN-DNP programs

    greygooseuria replied to anny08's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    University of Pittsburgh is one of the highest regarded nursing schools. For the DNP residency I think you HAVE to be certified though and that is the reason you do it; I don't think you can be...

  23. How to put job offer on hold while considering others?

    greygooseuria replied to Ihoplover's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, that depends. I'd rather the hospital have to find someone to replace me (which in this economy they easily can) than me be without a job for 6 months because they rescinded my offer due to...

  24. campus-based BSN-DNP programs

    greygooseuria replied to anny08's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    University of Pittsburgh has a BSN-DNP program, as does Arizona State and University of Illinois-Chicago. Basically after the first two years you get your NP, and the third is additional coursework...

  25. Questions about San Antonio

    greygooseuria posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    So, I've been offered a job at Methodist in San Antonio. I have NEVER been to San Antonio (they hired me after a phone interview) and I was wondering what the city/hospital is like since I am...
