good luck. So far, NH nursing has treated me well.

having just done this recently, I can give you some insight. I also live just under 1 hour from Manchester (MA resident) and work there. The process for reciprocity is fairly simple: paperwork, money, and fingerprinting. I will take a few weeks so I would recommend just doing it now. In Manchester, there is a requirement that one has an active NH RN license prior to starting any orientation so, for job prospects, it looks better if you are already credentialed. Salaries are substantially lower than around Boston but, no parking fees, and some good hospitals that are RN friendly. Good luck!

It's great to hear from other PNP students. I know I personally struggled with the decision to go for PNP vs. FNP or other specialties as many do FNP for marketability etc. But, after taking care of all age groups for years, I must say that I find peds most rewarding. Just curious... those of you that are almost done with PNP school, do you have any regrets for choosing the pediatric route thus far? any advice for those of us embarking in the fall? thanks!

yes, the program is primary care followed by acute care the summer of year 2. Basically, I will be credentialed to take both exams once completed. Currently I have a potential PICU NP position lined up for me after I'm done (the unit I work in now)... enjoying the complexity and cohesiveness of the pediatric group. Best of luck and let me know how the program goes for you.

Congrats on your acceptance into the PNP program! I too am starting PNP in the fall and currently work in a PICU. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get accepted? I am doing the PNP-PC/AC combined at NEU.
