Hello all, Has anyone been accepted or attended Brenau post MSN AGACNP program?

I am so glad they are getting hired. At this location they had a three month residency for VA RNs that has experience elsewhere as FNPs. But they don't do that every year and they are guarantied jobs.

Yes, they should start applying as soon as possible. Some seem to think that as soon as we are in the system, you can be transferred to a job if you are hired. It's not that easy at my location, per the MD that was going to hired me. During orientati...

Maybe it depends on location? Its very hot in my area right now to work in the hospital setting.

Its a huge need, but think of it this way. If the VA can keep these residencies(NP, PA, MD) going, pay us/them a lower wage to do all the work for a year or more, why would I higher anyone when I have a new groups of people/residents starting every...

Yes, they all have jobs. I don't think anyone really wanted a job there besides one person because she was already in the system for over 22 years( not the one that moved to FL).She was stabbing people in the back and didn't get a job. She is going b...

So sorry you didn't get the job. One of my classmates move 3.5 hours away with her family for this residency and she was the first to leave about 3.5 months during the program. My director said she need to know/ working on the residence having a guar...

There is nowhere to transfer to. I don't plan on moving and the next hospital is 3.5 hours away. I cant trust people, when the dealings have been shady this long. The director of this department said the last resident she offered a job to left becau...

I think it was a little of everything. It was only 3 of us to start. The fact that basically we have been in the same department for 90 percent of the time; there really isn't much else to learn. I am seeing my same set of patients. I spoke to the ...

And then there was one. I am the only one left in my cohort y'all! I still have about 2 more months left. I plan to finish strong( I guess).

No. That's not an option for me. I do have a job lined up outside of the VA. So that's something to look forward to!

Nothing has changed. Still no specialty rotations and at this point I don't care to do any. They state its jobs available but you have to sell yourself, but to who? Its not one job posted for my location. They attempted to send us to the nursing home...

In my state it depends on the clinic and your chief complaint. If you are pregnant you go an obgyn specialist clinic. It you need a regular pap, it might be done by your pcp or you can schedule with someone that does it on certain days. Some clinica...

I am in Georgia and my program is brand new. The VA where I am also has a regular primary care residency and we join them for didactics. They have been to specialty clinics, and have a set rotation.

So I just spent 2 months with a primary care and functional medicine MD. It was cool to learn from her . Now I am back to primary care with the primary geriatricians. I don't think we are going to get to go to any specialty clinics and that really su...

We are also being told jobs aren't guaranteed, but I will start putting out apps soon. I cant be without a job. I still work PRN as an RN so I can always go back full time if need be. Also one of my coworkers in the geriatric residency put in her not...

What is POSH and COACH?

Hello all, I am on my second rotation at another clinic, we went from geriatrics to primary care. It's so different on the things that you do at each place, no two places are the same. I should move to another clinic at the end of January. I am...

Great question, I will have to ask.

Yes. Also, If you leave and come back; you can buy back your time, not quite sure how that works. I don't know about what step on the pay scale, but they did get a new payscale for NPs.

I think one left during orientation and the other just never showed up, and im sure found jobs outside of the VA. They started months before we did like July and August. There program has more structure, and they have schedule. During orientation, a ...

Hey yall! Its been 2 weeks and we are basically going by the seat of her pants. We don't have a schedule, she told us we might get one on this Tuesday. But the geriatric program is brand new so its just her to handled everything for us. We have badg...

The first day for me was all policies, benefits, who to call and and when. I fell asleep twice I was so bored. I hope I don't do this tommorrow. We are still with everyone that was hired, so nothing specific to NPs or nursing.
