    JerseyGir1 replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    JerseyGir1 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  9. Just accepted an NP position!!!!!

    JerseyGir1 replied to christvs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    May I ask what Hospital Medicine is? Sounds rather generic, but I'm guessing it is a specific field? -(soon to be) BSN/MSN

  10. Commute to school?

    JerseyGir1 replied to hiddencatRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm starting an accel. BSN program in a month. My commute is probably only about 15 miles, but would take 30 mins in light traffic, more in heavy traffic. I'm also considering taking the train which...

  11. Clinical Research in Nursing

    JerseyGir1 replied to gsr1306's topic in General Nursing

    I would also look up "clinical research organizations" or CROs. These companies hire CRAs or clinical research associates. CRAs are many times RNs, but some may not be. Either way, this is a very...

  15. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    JerseyGir1 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Did you work as an RN during FNP school? I am just wondering if employers would count that year or two as experience. I guess if it was full time, they would have to... but what about part time? Does...

  16. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    JerseyGir1 replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Okay... hopefully the answer to my question isn't already woven into the 49 pages of this thread, and if it is i'll never know... So, do all DNP programs result in NP certification? Suppose a student...

  17. Pay scale for different states/best opportunities?

    JerseyGir1 replied to candiceena's topic in General Nursing

    This site is good too: http://www.allnursesalaries.com/ I think you have to fill out your email address, then they send you an additional link. You can put in job title (RN, NP, or anything else) and...

    JerseyGir1 replied to ThePretender's topic in General Nursing

    JerseyGir1 replied to JerseyGir1's topic in General Nursing

    JerseyGir1 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
