Amazing. Now I'm soon to start clinicals.

Yes, Bates. A good read indeed. Thanks.

My on campus course is approaching, Advanced Health Assessment, I don't know exactly why I'm so nervous. Any word's of advice from those who already took this course? Thank you in advanced.

Much appreciated. Thanks for the response.

I'm hearing mixed opinions on this topic. Some swear "yes" and some say experience as an RN will not help. The claim is RN and NP is completely different. Would love to hear from the practicing NPs. I just want to make sure I follow the appropriate a...

Congrats! I'm curious to know how many years of RN experience before the FNP journey?

Understood. Thanks. Guess its safe to say, I'll be experiencing the "novice" feeling again. Thanks for weighing in with your responses.

I'm being led to believe that I have no choice but to join my workplace union. True or false?

A rep came and spoke with us during the orientation. And this is when everything was explained. And when I learned of this "union." I'm new to all this. Perhaps it could of been failure on my part for not fully researching the Hospital prior to apply...

Ok. No problem. Was just curious as to whether or not this was true information. Just never heard of not having an option or choice. Well thank you for your time and answering my question.

I did not. I learned this during my orientation. So the news is recent.

It is a unionized workplace. Not sure about the question, "is this a new position?" I'm at a new facility. New employee. And my knowledge is very limited on understanding unions. And side note, the dues totalling for the year just seem so high.

When starting your shift, how do you organize yourself to be able to flow smoothly throughout the day? Just worked my first offical week on the floor and just want to learn a better way. When to start charting? Immediately after doing my assessments?...

First nursing job. Wondering how would a schedule look if hired for 2-12hr a wk with eow nights?

Nice! But yeah, I wouldn't qualify.

Thanks. Helpful information. And that's what I'll do. We have a scheduler and I'm told they're flexible. I will ask. Thanks again.

Yes that's correct. And no, they did not tell me the days.

Wrote it incorrect. 2 days a wk -12 hr shift nights with every other weekend. On orientation now, days. But was just wondering how would a schedule look. Guess I will just have to wait. Just alittle eager and anxious.

I just wanted to connect as FNP students. To receive a good source of support.

I'm attending a University in CT. So guess different at your College/University. I'm all registered for Spring 2014. Have my plan of study. Loving the organization of my University.

Also starting a FNP program in Spring 2014. Will be working PT.

Starting on a ortho/neuro unit in a few weeks. Also excited and nervous.

No, I do not know anyone currently attending NCC. I know I have to take micro but I'm thinking of taking that course at a local community college and transferring the credit to NCC. I'm positive that shouldn't be a problem. Oh, I thought pharmacology...

Yes, I'm getting ready. I'm actually very excited about starting the program --- not sure what our schedule will be like. I'm not too excited for the commute but I think its worth it --- I didn't even think I was going to be taken off the waitlist. I...

I will also be starting the nursing program at NCC in the spring 2010. I was on the waitlist and was offered NCC which is an 1.5 hr from my location.
