  1. help i am torn between a job offer

    grad*student replied to johnson0424's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think you should practice your negotiation skills w/ him. If he declines, nothing lost. The terms he's presented right now are not favorable. Make a case for what you want, and you will build your...

  2. Grandfather clause for DNP?

    grad*student replied to forpath's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You're right, it doesn't matter, but it's interesting. I think the poster is a med student, resident, or new

  4. Amount of RN experience prior to starting MSN program

    grad*student replied to mt33133's topic in Post Graduate Students

    This question is also on the NP page -- about 400 responses or so. You should go through that

  5. Grandfather clause for DNP?

    grad*student replied to forpath's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Yes, all MN/MSN's (or even the old BS degrees) who are NP's will be permitted to continue practicing after the cut-off. This is why I chose the MN route this year -- it was the last year my school...

  6. Amount of RN experience prior to starting MSN program

    grad*student replied to mt33133's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The advice I've received by practicing NP's is to obtain as much hospital bedside experience as possible. This has been STRONGLY emphasized to me, so in taking their advice, I'm returning to the...

  7. My mother is a Diploma nurse

    grad*student posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    She's currently retired, but worked for more than 30 years at the bedside. She's a diploma trained RN, I'm a BSN. My mother is more of a nurse than I'll ever be, she was and is absolutely awesome. I...

  8. Benifits and drawbacks to the midlevel position

    grad*student replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Izzy, I felt the exact same way as you. Since I already had a BS in Biology & minor in Chemistry, I knew how shallow the nursing classes truly were. In my case, I've chosen the most rigorously...

  9. NICUs in Seattle area

    grad*student replied to lvnurs9's topic in Washington Nursing

    Children's is a great place to work. I've been here for a year, and am very impressed by the quality of care & environment. Fantastic hospital and

  10. BSN with Honors...How Important for Grad School?

    grad*student replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Post Graduate Students

    little more than zilch your gpa is stellar, they'll notice, don't

  11. ADVICE PLEASE ! Can't decide between 2 NP schools

    grad*student replied to NPs4health's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I say the second. From what NPs tell me, the reputation of a school is essentially of no consequence in the work place. It's also of little issue to me personally, though (ie. I will be going to a...

  12. Decisions, decisions!

    grad*student replied to AWanderingMinstral's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Also wanted to add that you will have an advantage over other MPH's, in that you are already a nurse/clinician. Many do not have a clinical

  13. Decisions, decisions!

    grad*student replied to AWanderingMinstral's topic in Post Graduate Students

    A lot of cool public health jobs that focus on international projects in my area require MPH degrees. However, there is a lot of competition & more graduates than jobs here. I don't think a MSN is...

  14. Over Educated, and under experienced??

    grad*student replied to BrandiannRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Since you're only 24 & don't have kids or other ties right now, and b/c you still have the motivation to do more schooling, why NOT just finish the DNP? Go for

  15. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    grad*student replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Maybe it doesn't garner more respect b/c there are misconceptions about the field, but regardless, it probably makes him a better

  16. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    grad*student replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It is very relevant to MY future practice as an NP. In addition to these, of course I will have all the nursing classes that focus on clinical management. Of course these classes would not be relevant...

  17. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    grad*student replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It doesn't really seem "above and beyond" for the school to which I've applied. A lot of the students are taking advanced science coursework within their area of interest. The classes I'll be taking...

  18. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    grad*student replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with you. The NP program should be as scientifically rigorous as med school. Pharmacy school has already gone that route, ie. students taking the same medical coursework the first 2 years for...

  19. Compassion....Why is it lacking?

    grad*student replied to RedhairedNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Burn-out. Feeling manipulated by patients, abused by the healthcare system, and being worked to the bone. We all go through that "shock" as new grads, but then come to see the other side as time goes...

  20. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    grad*student replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ok, back to the main topic. I have undergrad degrees in Biology & Nursing, with a minor in Chemistry. In my NP graduate program, I will be taking the following graduate-level science courses:...

  21. Harborview or Swedish?

    grad*student replied to Icess64's topic in Washington Nursing

    A man jumped out of his 5th floor window at Harborview yesterday. He's in critical condition. Be prepared to deal with lots of this kind of

  22. working, tuition reimbursement and NP school

    grad*student replied to 7starbuck7's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Would I change jobs? Yes. I'm in exactly your situation, and have resigned a flexible, well-paying job in research to return to the bedside simply for the tuition reimbursement benefit. Should you...

  23. Choosing Grad Schools

    grad*student replied to natrgrrl's topic in Post Graduate Students

    My considerations: 1) how I feel on the campus -- is it a place I will enjoy attending for the next several years? do I like the professors, students, and general atmosphere? 2) quality of program --...

  24. Low pay in Seattle

    grad*student replied to WAstateRN's topic in Washington Nursing

    where do you live? just curious what it's like in other wa

  25. Best path to NP...MSN or DNP?

    grad*student replied to JerseyGir1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    MSN/MN's will likely be grandfathered in and NOT have to get the DNP by 2015. That's why I chose the MN route. If I decide to get a doctorate, it will be in something else (ex. hard science or public...
