Hello Are there any of you out there that are NPs that are currently not using their NP license for what may be a slew of personal reasons? I was wondering, how do you maintain your license if you need to take a hiatus of a year or two before using y...

Hi! To those of you who applied for this cohort I was hoping to ask for some feedback about the application. I will be applying for the winter 2018 one. What exactly is required for the application besides your cover letter and resume? How many lette...
Hello All! As it has now been made completely clear to me that working in the UK as an FNP may not be an option for me, I had another question which I hope any of you may have suggestions or advice for. I will be certified as an FNP in the US, but un...
Those of you who have started the residency, what are your thoughts? How have you liked the program thus far? Clinical exposure, mentorship, clinical opportunities, growth, camaraderie amongst your colleagues? Thanks!

Hi All! I am not an applicant for July 2017, but was wondering how did you all know when the application went up? I kept looking at the main residency page and it doesn't give applicants a heads up when the application is posted. So I feel I may miss...
Those who got into NICU for this cohort, may I ask if most of you ended up on night or day shift? I heard they were expanding the unit and therefore I was curious if the new grads had more of choice? Thanks!

Regarding application for Sept 2017 for USC Versant RN new grad program----where did you all put your choices of units? I am filling out the application for Sept 2017 right now, and I got to the submit page but I didn't see any page where you actuall...
Wanted some feedback Soon to be FNP graduate. Is taking Boards pretty much a mandatory thing now in order to work in the state that went to school in? AANP or ANCC? If I move states, will I definitely need to be board certified? I also know its stat...

OP, so just have a question for you. If you had gone to school in CA, would you not need to take boards? If you practiced in the state that you went to school in your degree would be enough? Thanks for the clarification
Hi! I know this might be a silly question and probably time and needs specific, but do any of you know in which areas of the country or hospitals in general don't usually make new grads work nights? Are there any positions nowadays where new grads ar...
Hi all Just curious as I am new to the OR realm. Do any OR nurses work night shifts? Is it latest 11pm? Looking at some new grad programs, OR is my top 3 in specialty areas, but really looking for a specialty that I can avoid night shift as it has in...
Those of you who have started this program/cohort last summer, any updates about how the residency program is going? Are you liking the structure and organization? Training? Are most of you on night shift? Thanks for the feedback!
@ Skylark. Thank you for your response. I will be likely in London or right outside in the nearby suburbs (Surrey ie). I was also thinking maybe something away from actual nursing, where my degree might be useful (like in a consulting firm related to...
Hello I was wondering if I could get some insight into this situation. I will be a newly minted NP in the US very soon. I am in a situation where I could possibly move to England. Does my licensure and certification (qualifications) transfer over sm...
Does it matter if that year of experience comes as an RN at the bedside or as an NP in the clinic? Will they accept a year in any capacity and role? Or just as an RN? Thanks!

Thank you all for the responses. My other question is that I did a bridge program from rn to np in the us. 8i have little to no experience working as an rn at the bedside. I was reading the Nmc website that I need at least a year in exp working as an...

I am looking for similar insight. I may be in a situation where moving to England will be a possibility. Is there any information if the NP degree in the US is transferable to the UK without too many hurdles? I am close to finishing my masters FNP de...
Hi all, Just wanted to ask you all a question about post grad life from NP school. I have about a year left till I finish my Masters as an FNP. I am mentally exhausted right now. I have been in school for a few years now because nursing is my second...
In such a place, what is the difference between the clinic nurse and perioperative nurse specifically? What does it take for a new grad to possibly find a job in an outpatient surgical center like this? Is OR experience necessary for most positions? ...
