  1. Acute Care NP without ICU experience?

    There isn’t a new NP that comes out of school fully competent. As a new NP in any specialty, there is tons of on the job training in the first few years. That doesn’t mean I was not competent for the job and my program did not fully prepare me for th...
  2. Acute Care NP without ICU experience?

    So I’m just now realizing people have posted to this forum that I haven’t responded. So everyone knows my nursing experience which was no ICU experience and I landed a job in internal med as a NP one month after passing boards. Well to give you an up...
  3. Acute Care NP without ICU experience?

    And as far as employment, most of the people that have interviewed me have been more interested in hearing about my clinical experience than my nursing experience. I do think unless you are in an area with a large need for acute care NPs, it can be d...
  4. Acute Care NP without ICU experience?

    I was in your same shoes a few years back. I got into an adult acute care program without any ICU experience. During orientation I asked the head of the program if my lack of ICU experience would prevent me from being successful in the program and if...
  5. I am in an ACNP program now (only in my second semester)...I'm going to start clinicals next spring in internal medicine inpatient with a great preceptor who is very very busy. I want to know what I should be doing now to prepare for clinicals. I sta...
  6. Questions for NP's that precept

    I have to do an adult critical care rotation too but I'm going to do that towards the end of my program so I'll probably be hitting you up for more advice as that gets closer. I'll definitely focus more on interpreting labs. I'm taking patho now so t...

    Does anyone know what books we need for ngr 6101 and ngr 6636?
  8. UF BSN-DNP 2014

    I am also part time. Could you email me? I have a few questions about the program. I don't know anyone who has done this program so I've been searching for any kind of information about it. My email is [email protected]
  9. UF BSN-DNP 2014

    Jonnet2002 i am also in the adult acute care track and I'm from macclenny, fl. I haven't seen anyone else on here say they were accepted to the adult acute care track. I was getting worried id be the only one :) Do you know anyone else in the progra...
  10. UF BSN-DNP 2014

    I previously posted about UF admitted me to fulltime when I needed part time. They came through and gave me a part time spot for the adult acute care np program. Is anyone else doing this program or has done this program? I have a lot of questions ab...
  11. UF BSN-DNP 2014

    Yea I agree, it's really disappointing. I wonder if this program is going to be as unorganized as the decision process was. Does anyone know someone that has gone through the program FT and worked FT? I don't have kids and I just work 3 12's.
  12. UF BSN-DNP 2014

    So I emailed UF and they said they made a mistake that I did get in for the adult acute care program but I got in fulltime and unfortunately I will have to work throughout the program which is why I applied for part time so I will have to decline unl...

  14. UF BSN-DNP 2014

    I'm in macclenny and I received an acceptance letter for peds acute care yesterday. But I applied for the adult acute care and I don't want to do peds. I plan on emailing them tomorrow to see if there was some mistake and if I can get into the adult ...
  15. Starting next month in my hospitals we are changing the roles of the RN and UAP. The RN will have 5-6 patients (not uncommon) and will be responsible for all their normal nursing duties of assessing, medicating, and implementing orders but will now b...
  16. Quoting Assit. Admin...I have no idea how to do it in the white boxes... "I went to a ASN/ADN program many, many moons ago so I am hopeful that this was covered on your BSN program...for it was covered in mine." I also went do an ASN/ADN program and ...
  17. I agree that the support I receive from the majority of UAPs is unreliable for basically all of the same reasons you all posted. We do have some who are amazing. The main difference between the UAPs who are great and who spend their day in an empty p...
  18. I appreciate u posting. I think it does make a difference because I use to be a uap and I know taking vitals take more then 1 minute. The patient conveniently decides they need to go to the bathroom, wants this/that, patient/family wants to discuss p...
  19. Cops and Nurses

    I've been let go once by a state trooper for speeding and then I did receive a ticket by another state trooper for speeding, but he gave me the least amount he could and I was going way over the speed limit so I probably deserved that one. But the ti...
  20. Working during school?

    Which school are you going to? I am applying to the np program at unf this march and am wondering if that is where you are enrolled since your from Duval county.
  21. Does anyone know about this company? I see a job posting for RNs to audit charts from home?
  22. I am in nursing school and will graduate this august and I have been applying for Patient care tech jobs for several months now and haven't heard anything. I do not have any experience working in a hospital but I figured my clinical experience and th...
  23. Tech1000 I know lying on an application is a big no no but after not hearing anything for several months I had to wonder if that could be something hurting me from being picked over other applicants. I worked there for a year and a half fulltime so I...
  24. FCCJ Summer 2010 hopefuls...

    What if i got an email but not a letter? Should I expect or do you think there could be a mistake. I've already left a message accepting my spot and told my family so I really hope not. If they messed up my points and calculated that I had more than ...
