  3. New grad RN pursuing masters AND a job!

    JerseyGir1 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I really, truly understand the need for hospital experience before becoming an NP, even an FNP in primary care (my tentative goal). So, instead of beginning the rigorous 1-year Masters-NP program I...

  10. New grad RN pursuing masters AND a job!

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

    I also thought of Mollen when you (Holla) said immunization clinic. I am in the process of applying with them, but I'm waiting for my darn license # to come in. NJ stinks at getting that together. I...

  11. New grad RN pursuing masters AND a job!

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

    It seems like a good time to be in school and bad time to be out in the workforce. Even if you have to get the hospital experience later, I think you should go for the higher degree if you can right...

  15. New grad, advice please

    JerseyGir1 posted a topic in Home Health

    I know what you all think of new grads in HH. I would love it if the job market wasn't so bad and I could quickly get a med/surg job, then in 6 months to a year start looking into HH, but I just don't...

  17. Should I Go Straight Through???

    JerseyGir1 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am in my last semester of an accel. BSN program and I was also accepted for the master's portion. I can begin the masters (NP) as soon as a graduate. However, I've been reading a lot and talking to...

  18. Should I Go Straight Through???

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

    Thanks. I like to hear both sides. The commonality, though, is experience as an RN either way. Looks like as long as I do that, I should be

    JerseyGir1 posted a topic in Psychiatric

    I hear that there is a need for psych nurses, but it seems hard to find a job in psych as a new grad. Is that how it is? Anyone know of places that hire new grads into psychiatry? I'm looking to...
