LookForward

Im an NP for almost a year. I got accepted into a DNP program right after school and I decided to defer it for a year--and I realize I am still not ready to go back to school and I am not really sure Im still interested in getting a DNP. For tho...

I realize I don't want to be an NP long term as I realize there is no ladder to climb in this field. I would like to lead one day. I definitely know for sure I desire a leadership position. However, I am not sure whether I should pursue a DNP (alread...

Hi, I started working in a clinic and have a collaborative agreement with one physician. However, there are other physicians with their own panel of patients. May I work with these other doctors or do I work only with the physician I have the colla...

Pick one that really aligns with your interest. Medicine is really hard so start looking into the job descriptions of positions you want to obtain and see if these are things you can be willing to do 50 to 60 hours a week..maybe more.

They should only mandate this if they provide students with enough preceptors and clinical sites..I feel bad for NP students nowadays scouring for preceptors. It's hard enough to find a good one. There's definitely a disconnect between nursing acad...

Hi, I'm a new NP (less than a year), but I am beginning to consider shifting into administration or field in patient safety/quality. Im a bit frustrated with restrictions on NP scope. Im interested in doing some research but I find that there's more ...

You may like OR..must be highly organized and detailed. make sure to prepare everything needed for he procedures

Hi, i can relate to the post above. I have less than a year of experience thus far, but I feel like a 'glorified nurse' most of the time: entering orders and writing notes for the MD. I want to get involved in research but my attending prefers to wor...

It does get better. I cried every 2 weeks during the first 4 months then most of the tasks become routine. You are dong so many things for the first time. I started to feel competent by 2nd year.

I had a coworker who was an NP working as an RN. Its ok. go for it.

Hi, sorry for my very naive question but for the first time I got employed at a unionized position..There is pension plan, which Im already enrolled in. However, some workers are not unionized, and I am getting emails to enroll in 403b... I am confus...

I just moved to NYC from a state where NPs are independent, no collaborative agreement needed..To new york NPs, are you able to have your own panel of patients?? I noticed back in my home state there's a pressure to do DNP...I don't feel that here in...

Hi I'm about to start my first np job as well as start an online dnp program. Am I stretching myself too thin? On one hand I feel pressured to get my dnp asap as some schools have already eliminated their masters np program, making dnp as the entry l...

So I accepted a job in New York but realized my post masters dnp program does not have an agreement with New York in doing clinical in the state...however, I can take the lecture classes but trouble may come when I have to begin my capstone.....I wil...

Has anyone undergone residency for NPs? How was your experience with this?

I have a co worker who's an np, but still works as an rn at the hospital. She's not quite happy with her np experience...anyone knows of people who have an np degree, but are in jobs that don't require it? What are their reasons? Thanks

I've been in an np program primary care for a year now...I'm not sure if I want to be an np anymore...I'm really excited about research but found out the curriculum doesn't have much courses on this...I'm not so thrilled with just direct care...can I...

I wish I was a great nurse but I'm not. I realize I can be good but I can never be great... i excelled at school but I'm not excelling at work. Maybe I'm going thru reality shock. I've been a nurse for over a year...and...I feel like I'm not good at ...

I've had interest in public health and research...

I didn't have a lot of money to afford med school...now as a nurse, im glad I'm not a doctor..too much responsibility

how do you manage? do you work nights? I currently 'rotate,' working days and nights 40 hours/week. right now, im just in the theory part of the MSN program, but I have been advised to just work part time during clinical---which I cant see myself doi...

working for a year now in a busy med surg unit....I knew nursing is hard and busy...but I am still overwhelmed...there are so many situations that makes one prone to mistakes, and I already made them...an experienced nurse said she's made a lot as we...

Ive been working for a year, and one of the things I realize--and hard to admit--is I will make mistakes (which I already have)... I recently made another one, which made me physically sick. It was a busy morning with a lot of calls. in the middle of...

ive been working in a med surg floor for a year now, and I feel frustrated...recently I had a tough shift....a patient yelled at me..it was a very busy shift, and I got behind some tasks and med administration. our pharmacy was running slow..next thi...

I was really excited to start grad school, but now I am anxious...I have been working for a year, but I still feel new. There's just a lot to learn on the floor. I am a full time RN. I am going to take two online courses. One is philosophy in nursing...
