  1. Attractive Students Being Hired First

    SydneyJo1 replied to bioniclewoman's topic in First Year After Licensure

  2. Rush vs Vanderbilt

    SydneyJo1 replied to SydneyJo1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Please don't feel pressure to be impartial! If you love your school and are happy with the education you've gotten there, I want to hear it! That is the kind of thing that helps me to decide. :) PS:...

  3. Rush vs Vanderbilt

    SydneyJo1 replied to SydneyJo1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would ultimately like to get my DNP (someday down the road...maybe after working as an NP for 5-6 years), and maybe do some teaching at the college level. As a NP I'd like to focus on endocrinology...

  4. Fall 2010 Vanderbilt RN Pre Specialty

    SydneyJo1 replied to celclt's topic in Post Graduate Students

    From what I understand, Vanderbilt has multiple entry options into their masters program. If you enter with a non-nursing bachelor's degree and are not currently an RN, you enter via the prespecialty...

  5. Rush vs Vanderbilt

    SydneyJo1 replied to SydneyJo1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not sure if you are addressing me or another person who posted, but the program I'm talking about through Vanderbilt can be done in 2 years full time (pre-specialty + speciality year). I would be...

  6. Honest feedback needed on resume

    SydneyJo1 replied to EDRN-2010's topic in Nursing Career

    I think it looks really good! You did a great job showing why you are desirable as a nurse even without nursing experience, which is hard to do on a resume.

  7. Fall 2010 Vanderbilt RN Pre Specialty

    SydneyJo1 replied to celclt's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Do you have any idea whether or not one can work while doing the RN pre-specialty year via distance ed? I am strongly considering apply for Fall '11, but I want to be able to work at least part-time...

  9. Rush vs Vanderbilt

    SydneyJo1 replied to SydneyJo1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for all the input! I realize that Vanderbilt does not require a BSN, but I don't want to do the two semester pre-specialty thing since it would cost about 3 times as much as it would if I just...

  10. Rush vs Vanderbilt

    SydneyJo1 replied to SydneyJo1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you! That's great advice.

  11. Rush vs Vanderbilt

    SydneyJo1 replied to SydneyJo1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree, and I do plan to work while doing grad school part-time, so by the time I would be an NP I'd have at least 3 years of actual nursing experience. That's not a lot, but better than nothing I...

  12. HELP please!!! admissions decsion!

    SydneyJo1 replied to psitsrachel's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think I would do University B because it will have the FNP that you want. I wouldn't want to spend the time and money that it takes to become an NP only to compromise and not go in the exact...

  13. Rush vs Vanderbilt

    SydneyJo1 replied to SydneyJo1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Bumping this up... Can anyone PLEASE give me some feedback on this? Seriously, if you were in a position of hiring a new NP, which of these schools on the resume would mean the most to you? Or are the...

  14. Awful Clinical Experience

    SydneyJo1 replied to caligurl1's topic in General Students

    I totally agree--it needs to be reported to the DON. And I SO know how you feel about being treated like dirt at clinicals--what is up with that??? It is shocking to me how some nurses (MANY nurses)...

    Just because the mom didn't like the advice you gave her doesn't make it any less appropriate. You did the right

  16. Duke's distance ed ANP or FNP programs

    SydneyJo1 posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Can anyone tell me whether or not someone has to live close enough to Duke to do clinicals in the Durham area? I am so interested in Duke's distance ed program, but I live in WI and would need to do...

  18. Duke's distance ed ANP or FNP programs

    SydneyJo1 replied to SydneyJo1's topic in Post Graduate Students

  19. Duke's distance ed ANP or FNP programs

    SydneyJo1 replied to SydneyJo1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I emailed the admissions guy and asked him if they will accept students in other states (I told him I lived in WI), and he said that was no problem since WI is a "low risk state" (not sure what that...

    SydneyJo1 replied to BChapp3182's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have no idea whether or not this a solid job offer, but I worked as a medical esthetician in a med spa/laser clinic for a few years, and it is no picnic, especially in hard economic times. This is...

  22. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    SydneyJo1 replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Can anyone tell me when in 2015 this proposal about the DNP becoming the terminal degree for NPs is likely to go into affect (if it does)? I am looking at MSN programs and the one I am most...
