  1. 2018 Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program

    Lajimolala replied to mefifome's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Has anyone had their credit checked yet? It seems like in past years, they usually start right around

  2. NP Residency Pay

    Lajimolala posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have been a Family NP for two years now and I'm considering specialty NP residency. I don't have my heart set on any particular specialty but I have a few mind. How big of a pay cut is it to go from...

  3. NP Residency Pay

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

    I was thinking cardiology, GI, or derm. Thanks for the perspective! I think that makes a lot of sense to just apply and get training without the pay

  4. NHSC for Providers

    Lajimolala replied to PhillyFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I agree that the wait is pretty

  5. NHSC for Providers

    Lajimolala replied to PhillyFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    On page 16 of the guidance packet, right under funding preference, the first bullet states: The NHSC will give priority to an applicant who has characteristics that indicate a higher likelihood of...

  6. NHSC for Providers

    Lajimolala replied to PhillyFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have applied. I don't have the strongest numbers, but I did come from disadvantaged background, so I'm hoping I have a

  7. How fast did you land a job?

    Lajimolala replied to johndough's topic in General Students

    As a native Californian myself, I agree with this. I graduated in SoCal for my undergrad, and it took a year to find my first full time RN job. I went to grad school in the east coast for FNP, and got...

  8. Nurse Corps Loan Repayment 2016 Cycle

    Lajimolala replied to tjones57's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an NP applying for the first time as well. HPSA score 14, which I believe is Tier 1. D/I ratio of 140%. I got my credit checked twice by Credco. Once on April 11 and again April 19. I am sure...

  9. Do you feel ill will from doctors?

    Lajimolala replied to Nurse Joey's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There is real life and then there is internet. For some reason, the latter attracts the most lowly of trolls hiding behind the veil of anonymity, whether that be directed to NPs or celebrities or...

  10. study group or nah?

    Lajimolala replied to Nurseades2b's topic in General Students

    OK, this may sound totally random, but I really wish someone would have told me this when I was in nursing school. I was much like you, I had aced pretty much all of my prerequisites prior to nursing...

  11. NP Stats

    Lajimolala replied to Jules A's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The ACNP is the newest NP specialty at around ten years

  12. What do FNP students do during clinicals???

    Lajimolala replied to DeeRN,BSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    At my school, it really depends on the preceptors and what they do. My first preceptor was a physician who did simple surgeries like shave biopies, so I was able to do that. But most of the time, the...

  13. The hospitalist dilemma

    Lajimolala replied to sauce's topic in Advanced Practice

    Jules, Thanks for your response but I never meant to make an argument for sound practice. I meant to add to that it doesn't always apply only to nurses. Of course most people, I would hope anyway,...

  14. The hospitalist dilemma

    Lajimolala replied to sauce's topic in Advanced Practice

    Just wanted chime in that this is true in rural areas across professions. A family physician I worked with has a friend from way back in medical school who is also a family physician. But this guy...

  15. Entrance essay for FNP school

    Lajimolala replied to Regn101's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You have a lot of great experience, and so if you want to make a powerful essay, go back to a time when something happened that really inspired you. It could be something you did to help a patient or...

  16. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

    Lajimolala replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Could not have said this better myself. Why should anyone let such pettiness get in the way of their goals and the patient care they want to be involved in? There are going to be naysayers no matter...

  17. Wear gloves during assessment?

    Lajimolala replied to future_nurse11's topic in General Nursing

    When I was working at the bedside, I wore gloves all the time. I learned this lesson while I was still a nursing student (where we learn many nursing life-long lessons :) )I was simply changing out...

  18. FNP - How to make enough $$$ to pay the bills?

    Lajimolala replied to kjinman100's topic in Advanced Practice

    It's the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. This is from studentaid.ed.gov:

  19. Online NP school vs In class NP school

    Lajimolala replied to ShifraSaraRice's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am a military wife as well, and I went to a traditional state university for my BSN and now currently going to school online for grad school. I think the answer really depends on whether or not if...

  20. pharmacology and pathophysiology for FNP program

    Lajimolala replied to gonetocarolina's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think every school is different and certainly I can say Georgetown has a very rigorous program. I would think they make these decisions based on what has happened in the past. One thing I wish I...

  21. Georgetown NP online

    Lajimolala replied to goldstarfire's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have to say that my classmates and I are thoroughly impressed by Georgetown. I just came back from campus and I agree that OCI was extremely organized and well-detailed. There must have been five...

  22. I confess...I'm a nurse who doesn't want to work in a hospital again

    Lajimolala replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say that I'm one of those nurses who would rather not work in a hospital either. I did my job well, my colleagues were great, and I don't have any (major) issues with management. But...

  23. How I feel right now before school starts...

    Lajimolala replied to Januar's topic in Men in Nursing

    Then, this will be how you feel for the next couple of years: ...and in order to keep motivated, you'll tell yourself... Enjoy this moment of excitement (because it's downhill from here until...

  24. Time off after NP school?

    Lajimolala replied to Nguyenchester's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    We are graduating at the same. I plan on drinking fine wine in at least three European countries after getting my FNP license. LOL. I say, if you can do it, go for it!!! My motto has always been...

  25. NHSC Scholarship 2014-2015

    Lajimolala replied to BermudaTriangle's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No, not necessarily. The finalist emails typically go out late July according to previous years. I'm not really sure what the credit checks mean, but the general consensus is that it's a good...
