  1. Part time NPs?

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

    I saw ads for several part time NP positions, and worked with some NPs in my clinicals who were part time (24-32 hrs.). I think a good place to look is at college/university health services. They're...

  2. Which NPs deal with chronic/terminal illness?

    BCgradnurse replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The school I just graduated from has a palliative care specialty, and I don't believe any ICU experience is

  3. Are Nursing Jobs Plentiful where you Live ?

    BCgradnurse replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    Boston area-nothing for new grad RNs, but more for new grad

  4. Thoughts on working at a minute clinic for your first job?

    BCgradnurse replied to sally 1977's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We were also told the same thing. It is not an ideal setting for a first job. You have to follow their very regimented protocols and you don't see a great breadth of patient issues. It doesn't seem...

  5. Supplemental malpractice insurance

    BCgradnurse posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi, I'm starting my first NP job next week, and my malpractice insurance is paid for by my employer. However, is it advisable to purchase supplementary insurance for myself? I don't know yet how how...

  6. Supplemental malpractice insurance

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

    Thank you both again for your help. I also discovered that if you are a member of Sigma Theta Tau you can get a substantial discount through

  7. Supplemental malpractice insurance

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

    Thank you both for the good advice. Do you have any recommendations for insurance companies I should consider? Thanks

  8. Passed the ANCC Family Nurse Practitioner exam!!

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

    You can buy any of her products on www.fhea.com I went to her live review course last month and it was amazing. She is a great teacher and has built up an incredible business for herself. I want to...

  9. Transition into the NP role

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

    Sounds like you are doing great!! My professors continually told us that we would experience the "imposter" phenomenon once we got out in the work force-whether you've been an RN for 20 years or are...

  10. jobless new grad NP

    BCgradnurse replied to nurselele05's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The waiting is really hard......I'd give it 10 days before calling. You've done everything that you're supposed to do. I'll keep my fingers crossed for

  11. Benefits Package

    BCgradnurse replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sheri, I have to agree with the others. I think this is a pretty bad deal. I recently completed a job search as a new FNP and every practice I spoke with covered malpractice insurance, DEA number,...

  12. new APN

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

    Hi, Like Emmy, I also had a job before I graduated. I will also be working license pending for a while, as my new employer wants me to be "ready to go" once I get all my credentials. I've sent in my...

    BCgradnurse replied to nurselele05's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Congrats on your new job!!! I'm so happy for

  14. BSN to MSN without RN experience?

    BCgradnurse replied to al_e135's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Does your school have a 5 year program that gives you the BSN and then the MSN with one additional year of full time study? Then you could have the schooling out of the way and then decide if you...

  15. Autism and the Nurse Practitioner

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

    Just one more comment, and please keep in mind that this is only one person's experience at one school......please arrange to talk to faculty at the school you're planning on attending, and see if you...

  16. Autism and the Nurse Practitioner

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

    Hi, I'm a new FNP, and in my opinion, a PNP track might be the better route for you. We did not spend a lot of time on pediatrics and I did one semester of clinical in a pedi practice, but I would...

  17. Question about Jesuit schools and women's health care

    BCgradnurse replied to Wildschmidt's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I just graduated from BC as an FNP, and we did learn about contraception methods, although we did not go over specific methods of abortion, as those procedures are beyond the scope of an NP. I don't...

  18. Direct Entry Admissions?

    BCgradnurse replied to meepatte's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi, I just graduated from the DE program at Boston College. I believe their acceptance rate is somewhere around 15% of applicants. You sound like a really strong candidate, but it certainly wouldn't...

  19. S.O.S.......How did you find your first NP job?

    BCgradnurse replied to ANP4U2C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I found my first job (starting 7/3!) on my state's Dept. of Unemployment website. Suprisingly, they had a whole bunch of NP jobs listed. I also recommend indeed.com and Craig's List. Best of luck...

  20. New FNP

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

    I recently got my first job as an NP, and went on several interviews. I don't think anyone asked me the "technical" stuff-they were more interested in why I chose the field, how my previous work/life...

  21. jobless new grad NP

    BCgradnurse replied to nurselele05's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Another place to try is your state's Dept. of Unemployment website. My state had a ton of NP jobs listed there, and it's how I found the position I just accepted. Good

  22. National Health Service loan forgiveness

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

    Thanks for the info. I did sign up for email notification. My state also has a loan forgiveness program, but the funding for that is in jeopardy. I just accepted a position at a clinic that...

  23. What are my chances?

    BCgradnurse replied to greygooseuria's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi, I think most schools look at the big picture of you, not just your GPA. I think this especially holds true if you've been out in the work force for a while and have other life experiences to...

  24. Anyone starting a Grad-Entry Program this Fall?

    BCgradnurse replied to WannabeaNNP's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I was in the exact same prosition as you. Becoming an NP is a mid-career change (or a mid life crisis!) for me, and it was difficult to give up a relatively well paying career for a whole bunch of...

  25. Anyone starting a Grad-Entry Program this Fall?

    BCgradnurse replied to WannabeaNNP's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Not everyone has a job yet, but I know some people are planning on relocating or really haven't started looking yet. There are lots of NP jobs out there, it's just a matter of finding one that fits...
