  1. When Do I Apply for Jobs?

    Dr.Naija_Glam posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello all, its been a long time coming but I'll be done with my DNP (FNP track) program this August. I was wondering when would be a good time to start applying for jobs. School faculty recommends...

    Dr.Naija_Glam posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Greetings, I have viewed this forum many times as a guest and finally decided to join. After much thought, I have made the decision to pursue the DNP degree. I applied to a couple of schools and...

  3. Attention DNP students

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to Dr.Naija_Glam's topic in Advanced Practice

    Sorry, I am so late on this. I am at MUSC and am enrolled in the BSN-DNP program with the FNP track. As with any new program it is working out some kinks, but overall it is a good program. I'd do it...

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to sourapril's topic in General Nursing

  5. CNS! Is this a Dying Specialty!?

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to Visuals's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    In all honesty, I had no idea what a CNS was or what a nurse prepared for that role did until I graduated with my BSN in 2009. I observed that two of my nursing school professors (excellent by the way...

    I work days on a peds-med/surg and have 3-4 pt (usually 3) sometimes 2 for the shift if I'm working the weekend. When I was nights on the same unit I had 3-4 pts (usually 3). I keep telling the nurses...

  7. Another rant regarding MA's and Nurses

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to samirish's topic in General Nursing

    I don't feel this is applicable to the original post. To the OP I am unsure if this is reportable. It is deceptive to state an employee is a nurse when said employee is not a licensed nurse. I would...

  10. Looking For a Preceptor

    Dr.Naija_Glam posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I know this is a long shot, but I was wondering if there's an FNP in Kansas City, MO or the surrounding area that would be willing to precept me. If so, I appreciate it so much and please pm me for...

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to OBluv19's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well of course I will be biased since I'm going to MUSC lol. But I do enjoy it and believe it's a good school. The faculty respond quickly to questions and are supportive. The only complaint that I've...

  17. NP Residency Programs?

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to Dr.Naija_Glam's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for the response edogs334. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any other postings. It would make sense that hospitals would only want NPs with experience. I'm a little nervous about when I graduate...

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to FutureUofARN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yes it's true there are many BSN-DNP programs. Some are also online. I am currently enrolled in a DNP program with the track of FNP. Here is a link to schools that offer the DNP degree. Some require a...

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to linearthinker's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I will be starting a DNP program in August and have not dealt with much negativity about the degree that I have chosen. Mostly I am critized over the patient population I have chosen to commit myself...
