    Utica University - FNP Online Program

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to BKLYNMAMARN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi all! I just found out about this program and am hoping I can find someone who still frequents this site who is willing to share their experiences with the program. I'm torn about which NP I want to...

    Low GPA hitting road blocks

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ERNurseHailey's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am assuming I am in a similar position and wondering if there's anyway around really old courses. I also have a masters, and I started Nursing School in 1992 (I was a baby nursing student, and my...

    So relieved to read your post 😅. I also applied to the advanced certificate program, and I haven't heard anything

    Hunter College PMHNP - 2025

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ap95's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Makes sense for both of you who have other options. I haven't applied anywhere else yet, so I just want to know if I will need to. I also want to know what the rest of my calendar year looks like, and...

    The college is on Spring break this week, so I doubt we will hear anything until at least next

    Hunter College PMHNP - 2025

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ap95's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I know a number of people who graduated from Stony Brook NP programs, but mostly PNP and FNP. I do know one person who graduated from PMHNP (haven't seen her IRL in years) but was waiting to reach out...

    Hunter College PMHNP - 2025

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ap95's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is rough. I'm really curious as to why it is taking so long this year. I only submitted on March 1, so I am not waiting as long as some of you guys

    Is it worth becoming an NP at 45 years of age?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Sage1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    After many years of being a 'regular nurse' (with many different pivots in specialties and a masters in Nursing ED) I am considering getting an NP advanced certificate. I am looking at the future,...

    Hunter College Psych NP (PMHNP) - 2024

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to NYC Nurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi all, I am waiting on a decision for the 2025 cohort. I have a couple of questions that I am hoping this group could answer. I applied for the Advanced Certificate track. -Are the MSN and...

    Hi! With a lot of hustling, I managed to get my app submitted on the deadline

    NP to Therapist

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to QEOLAdvocate's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Your response intrigued me, because I also work in GI (peds, as an RN in an outpatient practice). This is one of the reasons I am considering a change in specialties, and just sent in my first...

    How to change specialties as an FNP?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to GoodNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was not aware of this, as I know a number of FNPs who work in acute (and sub-acute) care settings. I am a peds nurse, and many peds nurses I know felt it was worth it to pursue the FNP route to...

    How to change specialties as an FNP?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to GoodNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am interested in how your transition to PMHNP went in the beginning. Did you have an NP masters already? Did you have mental health experience, or was it experience in the way you mentioned above...

    How to change specialties as an FNP?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to GoodNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Since new grad (NPs) get hired in specialties, I think your chances of finding something within your scope of practice as an FNP is definitely a realistic goal. But it may be in an environment that...

    NYP Hiring Process

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Puppylove992's topic in New York Nursing

    You have to apply through the careers website. They are very tight/strict about their process. If there is nothing on their site for residencies, it might mean there are none upcoming. I'd just apply...

    NYP Hiring Process

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Puppylove992's topic in New York Nursing

    Cornell is not in the union; Columbia is. As for travelers, it has been my understanding that union status has no bearing on a traveler (since you are not an employee of the hospital, but of the...

    NYP Hiring Process

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Puppylove992's topic in New York Nursing

    I am in the process of interviewing for a position here as well. I have applied before, and I do recall the process being very 'glitchy' (as it was this time as well), before getting to the interview...

    Dressy, Comfortable Work Shoes

    ReinventingMyselfAgain posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've been looking through the numerous threads about shoes (as I have done in the past on AN over the years), so I KNOW there are many of them. I also know that everyone has a different preference (I,...

    Staff Development Woes

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am new to staff education, and I can't tell you how many times I've heard this already. "they need to be educated on....". They have BEEN educated ad nauseum on it. They need consequences enforced...

    The Enemy... The Nurse Manager

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to I.Am.A.Nurse.'s topic in Nurse Management

    Day nurses have the same issue. The bottom line is, there is no good time for a staff meeting. Day nurses are running out the door, night nurses can't keep their eyes open in the morning (and are also...

    The Enemy... The Nurse Manager

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to I.Am.A.Nurse.'s topic in Nurse Management

    As you said, it may not be possible in a large hospital. It also may not be possible in some smaller facilities either. It really depends on the culture of the unit. I could see many places where the...

    Patients throwing things?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Minnesota123's topic in Pediatric

    A behavior plan? Some sort of contract that rewards positive behavior and takes privileges away when she does throw things? If she is cognizant enough to know what she is doing is wrong, this should...

    What do you like/dislike about working pediatrics?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Louise44's topic in Pediatric

    The best part for me, is when they act like kids (mischievous). Since I'm not in direct care, I can chuckle at it more than my staff does (since a fighting, tube-pulling child who acts sassy means...
