There is an MSN track called Family Nurse Practitioner with Education. It would allow you to practice as an NP with the option to teach if you saw fit.

In the BJC system starting pay is around $20-21ish/hour with I think a $.60/hour differential for having your BSN. Shift differentials go from 3PM-7AM, and vary from $1.25 weekdays to over $3 for weekend-nights. After you've worked in your unit for 1...

I've just applied to go back for my MSN with Family Nurse Practitioner certification at SLU. There are tons of options for you: Any of the Nurse Practitioner focuses (MSN prepared) - Family, Pediatric, Acute Care, Psychiatric, etc. Any of the above, ...

I'll chime in about Barnes - like any hospital, the *unit* you choose plays a huge role in how you'l like your new job. There are some floors of my own hospital that I wouldn't care to work on, while I absolutely love my floor. The "mesh" of the staf...

I don't know if they'd disallow you from the program, but I'm not entirely clear how much trouble you would run in to while applying for a license to practice. Start working now on finding all court documents, proof of rehabilitation, maybe write an ...

I am a firm believer that new grad RNs, including myself when I was, are not meant for critical care in any shape or form. My reasoning? Things are just too quickly paced to be learning time management, accountability, and general nursing abilities...

Graduate of the FP RN program here, glad to see y'all making it through. There are days (weeks) when I wanted to throw in the towel, but made it. For anyone wondering about working while in school, I'll toot my own horn. I worked full time, 40 hours/...

I make 10.18/hour base. After 1st semester clinicals, 10% bonus on top of base for being student nurse. Differentials are between $.60 and $1.30 depending on shift (the most for weekend nights, obviously).
I work for a big hospital in STL, and new GN base rate is in the neighborhood of $19.50/hour. This is base rate, non-inclusive of shift differentials, BSN pay, or anything else. They do offer modest increases for years served as a PCT/EMT/Whatever, ...

I applied for a few Graduate Nurse Fellowships at SJMMC, and was sent a short "Thanks, but no thanks" letter after the first interview. I did have to call them to have them look at my application. Their HR department is located on the Maryville Cen...

I work for a department at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and make a base rate of $10.18. Any nursing student who has finished 1st semester of clinicals and has no corrective action within the previous 12 months automatically gets a 10% bonus tacked on to a...

I personally see the PACU as kind of an inappropriate place for a new grad. I would think that the PACU requires very close monitoring and a keen eye for anything going wrong post-op. However, it sounds like your hospital is offering quite an extens...
