Thanks so much! I'm open for any and all ideas.

Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it.

Thanks so much! I work in an Emergency Department with low socioeconomic level patients in a 120 bed hospital in Tennessee. I am really starting to get burned out because so many of the patients I see are trying to take advantage of the medical system by seeking pain medication because they are addicts or seeking medical care in the ED because they do not have a PCP. We make referrals to PCPs in the area but time and time again we often end up seeing the same patients. I really want a better schedule and thought that by going to NP school I would be able to make myself more marketable to better positions. I am only looking from the outside at NP jobs and wanted to get some advice before I decide for sure. I visited Miami last month and absolutely loved it, however, I do not feel that is where I would want to live. I appreciate all advice you have to give. Do you know approximately how much an NP would make an hour and what types of jobs would be most profitable for an NP in the South Florida area? Again, thanks so much!

I am starting Nurse Practitioner School in January at Western Kentucky University. I currently have a BSN and have been nursing for 8 months. I am intersted in pursuing the field of Dermatology or Plastic Surgery as an FNP in South Florida (St. Petersburg, Miami, or Ft. Lauderdale). I was hoping to get advice from a few of you from any of these places can give me advice to how the market is in South Florida in these fields. I reside near Nashville and am wondering how the market there is different from here. All advice welcomed. Thanks!

Thanks so much for all of your replies. I have decided to accept God's plan for me whatever it may be. He is definitely the one in control. I wish all of you the best of luck with your tests and careers. Thanks!

Has anyone heard of anyone taking the NCLEX and getting around 133 questions and passing? I took mine today and that's what I got. I left feeling worse than I ever have in my life. Thanks

Congratulations on passing! I know you are really relieved. I'm not sure if you can say anything, but I along with several of my classmates are wondering if they provide the trade AND generic name with the drugs on the NCLEX when they are asking questions about them?
