How long was your orientation period for your first NP position, do you feel there was sufficient time allotted to orientation? In contrast, as a new NP, were you expected to come on the new job with little to no orientation needed? As a soon to be ...

Which areas for FNP work would you say is less stressful? For example, where you won't be seeing patients as frequently as every 15-30 minutes.

In the northeastern areas, new NPs in private hospitals make about 97k

Anyone studying for the GRE for grad school or already studied for it and took it? If so what did or are you using to study? Is it helpful? What do you recommend? I saw that Kaplan has a prep course, but it is so expensive, like $1600:( Does anyone k...

Get them whenever possible because since summer is coming, many people will be on vacation later and therefore probably unavailable later to respond to or really attend to your request for a recommendation at a later time,also you have to allow them ...

I wish I could take the current exam because it looks easier than the new exam format coming up , but between a heavy work schedule and studying, I doubt that I would be ready by then and I don't want to rush to take it and then possibly not do well....

They do,according to their website, but only in the Hudson Valley area

You're welcome, I'm glad you are feeling better and have people around you who can help. Good luck, I am confident that with time you will adjust to the changes that have presented themselves and overcome such obstacles.

It does sound like depression, maybe you can try joining support groups, both online and in person. Also try reading self-help books for people dealing with depression. Maybe you can consider attending church or any religious activities, if you don't...

When applying to non-nursing jobs, try tailoring your resume to the specific job you are applying for. Don't include your college degrees on the resume for jobs that don't require a bachelors so that they wont conclude that you are overqualified for ...

I'm a BSN nurse, and I was just wondering why is it that there are so few incentives for obtaining a BSN degree as opposed to an ADN degree? I know that an RN is an RN, but I feel there should be greater incentives for obtaining a BSN degree. BSN nur...

A PharmD is not a doctoral degree, it is not a graduate degree either. It is a Doctor of Pharmacy degree for entry level practice. After someone obtains a PharmD, if they want a doctoral degree, they must first earn a masters degree, and then a docto...

Is there any research done that contradicts the findings of their studies?

I see what you're saying, but at the same time, the NCLEX is designed to measure minimum competency for entry level RN practice. At the end of the day an RN is an RN and we all do great work, but you can't overlook the importance of more academic pre...

the following is from the aacn http://www.aacn.nche.edu/media/factsheets/impactednp.htm recognizing differences among nursing program graduates there is a growing body of evidence that shows that bsn graduates bring unique skills to their work as nur...

Lets say that two nurses have equivalent working clinical experience. The better wages for the BSN nurse than the ADN nurse is based on double the academic preparation, its based on the studies that have shown that a more educated nurse produces bett...

I bet that an OT with a masters would be paid significantly more than an OT with a bachelors and that a pharmacist with a doctoral degree would be paid more than a Pharmacist with a PharmD, even if the two are doing the same job and all are licensed...

I think that although some nurses believe that there is not much more knowledge to gain in a BSN program than they can from nursing experience, obtaining a BSN degree is an investment of additional time, money, and other resources. As a result, a BSN...

Oh wow, I had an interview there a few months ago too. The interviewer didn't even look at me as he was asking me questions, and kept answering his phone during the interview. Then never contacted me back regarding whether or not they were interested...

It seems that in this economy, since there is such a surplus of nurses and a limited number of jobs, that many employers have forgotten about Respect and Common Courtesy for applicants and people in general. For example, I went to one interview at a ...

Oh my, I've thought about interviewing in other states, but wow I can't even imagine going across states and then possibly not getting the job or not hearing back from them. That is such an investment.... I agree, the way a company handles the applic...

Your right, my comment is geared more toward new graduates. I dont know not one new graduate that got a job unless they had personal connections in the facility where they got the offer.

I went for an interview at HSS too. The whole thing is a joke, it seems that they are only looking to hire insiders. My interview went very well, at least thats what I thought. However, in the interview they barely asked any questions, which did surp...

As a student your professor is supposed to guide you through the process if necessary, not wait for you to make a mistake and then try to get you out of the program. That is not a basis for termination. Did you fail any of your nursing courses (Clini...

It's not about being foreign born. From what I've seen, there is a lot of racism in the hiring market, where people of color are not being hired in favor of others. Discriminated against because of race, their accent, and stereotypes. However, the mo...
