  1. UPMC jobs

    greygooseuria posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I know that Children's has a hiring freeze right now (and I assume the whole UPMC system). I am graduating in August and want to move to Pittsburgh. I was told by Children's that I should apply in...

  2. Will BSN get jobs over ASN in this recession?

    greygooseuria replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well, we're talking about new grads, not people with experience. A person with a BSN may have used their critical reading skills to figure that out

  3. Of all the courses, which was most difficult for you?

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

    I found med/surg to be difficult simply because I didn't figure out how to study for the tests until the second half of the semester; other than that, it wasn't necessarily hard per se. I haven't...

  4. UPMC jobs

    greygooseuria replied to greygooseuria's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Yes, they share an office and both are AWESOME. They even respond to emails on the weekend :yeah: Both are fabulously nice ladies and will answer any and all questions you have. I am glad to see so...

  5. Will BSN get jobs over ASN in this recession?

    greygooseuria replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    As a new grad, from what I have seen, if two candidates have the same experience and are both new grads, the interview goes to the BSN first; ie: before they even consider the ADN, they consider the...

  6. UPMC jobs

    greygooseuria replied to greygooseuria's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hey Keri! We'll be starting together. I start in September though

  7. Curious about debit from accelerated BSN programs

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

    They're close, but not synonyms. You don't have "school debit" in the English language; you have school debt. Sorry, but after reading this forum for 2 years, the spelling and grammatical mistakes are...

  8. Curious about debit from accelerated BSN programs

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

    carolinapooh, you can still consolidate with the federal government. Look into

  9. Curious about debit from accelerated BSN programs

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

    I am in University of Southern Maine's accelerated program. If you don't have Maine state residency though, it'll cost more than my $4000 a semester. Look into your state school's

  10. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

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

    Let's take a look at a DNP program, shall we wowza? This is the one I plan on enrolling in: University of Pittsburgh, BSN-DNP program for FNP; prereq- at least 1 year FT nursing experience Fall term...

  11. Curious about debit from accelerated BSN programs

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

    Well first, it's debt. Debit is a kind of banking transaction. Second, it depends on the ABSN program. I am in one at a state school and the tuition is around $4000 a semester for 4 semesters, so...

  12. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

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

    Wowza, NPs with doctorates do not want to be called physicians. They want to be called "Dr. JBeau, DNP" just like an MD would be "Dr. Wowza, MD". Get it? Got it? Good. So are you saying I should have...

  13. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

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

    I really hope you are not an MD, because you lack basic reasoning and reading skills. I answered your questions. They should have the privilege of calling themselves a doctor of a discipline because...

  14. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

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

    My point is that just because something is used colloquially now doesn't mean it HAS to stay. My point is that doctor DOES NOT and SHOULD NOT equal physician in a clinical setting. The rationale being...

  15. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

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

    Why should a PHYSICIAN be called a doctor? Physicians in Europe and most other countries aren't even CALLED doctor, they are called PHYSICIANS. Only people with a PhD get the title of "doctor". The...

  16. transferring at UPMC hospitals

    greygooseuria replied to ErieSTL1980's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I just got a job at UPMC Montefiore (technically Presby I guess). Congrats to you! I asked and they said they like you to work a year before transferring. What you would do is apply at upmc.com as an...

  17. Accepting two job offers then turning one down later?

    greygooseuria replied to RN2B123's topic in General Nursing

    I plan on doing this as well, just in case. The hospital wouldn't think twice about having to cut your position at all. Neither should you

  18. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    greygooseuria replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Uhhhh why can't someone with schizophrenia become a nurse? This is highly

  19. FNP vs ANP vs ACNP

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

    I am in the same boat as you as far as choosing. From the programs I have seen, FNPs do the same ANP curriculum plus peds stuff, so pursuing FNP would give you more choices. An ANCP would make you a...

  20. Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    greygooseuria replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

  22. new grad resume??

    greygooseuria replied to cbirdsong's topic in General Nursing

    I listed all my clinical rotations and the employers that have called me back for interviews have said they liked that, but I also listed work experience. Clinical rotations were listed in a section...

  23. Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    greygooseuria replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    It's cute how people are saying the instructor had "no right" to say this. She had EVERY right! There are MANY fellow students I'd love to say this to because they have NO compassion for their...

  24. I think I may go get my food stamp when I graduate

    greygooseuria replied to wshy_no1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    When I first moved to Chicago, I was temping as an admin assistant and making $12/hr and I was able to pay all my bills (rent, utilities, student loans) AND go out on weekends and bank some. It is all...

  25. DHMC Nurse Residency Program

    greygooseuria replied to ParrotheadRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Can you scan the contract and post it here? I'd really like to see it before I invest my time interviewing with them. Or could you PM it to
