I am very frustrated! I am a FNP student for an online distance program so I have to find my own places for clinical, but finding a place has been very difficult! I am trying to prepare ahead, unfortunately that hasn't worked out for me. I understand...

I am looking to relocate after I graduate next summer. I was wondering how the FNP job market and practice is in North Carolina. Any input greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Didn't have to reapply. When I hadn't heard anything from them I emailed the program and was told decisions for the next semester entry were being made and found out not long after I was accepted and would start in fall, believe this was around sprin...

How has your experience been working with a recruiter? I graduate next summer and plan to relocate (location unknown) and thought if sing a recruiter.

Family Practice is my specialty.

I would have to agree with you, Physician Associate would be more appropriate, I never looked at the PA being compared to MA or other careers, but I am not a layman. I unfortunately had a slap in the face by a family member who said "I don't feel NP ...

Quite honestly, to the roles of nursing assistant, RT, and a phlebotomist not being a pt care experience, you are very mistaken. My greatest understanding of lab diagnostics with disease process came from being a plebe, basics for physical care and h...

Well said. I think that NP has more advocacy due to the vast numbers of support. There are a multitude of organizations supporting the practice and advancement. Not only is there support from the NP community" but possibly the nursing profession as a...

Agree, not caring who trains the students is not acceptable, my program has strict guidelines for who and where we complete clinicals. Sadly research may not support RN experience as a new NP; granted it's a whole new scope of practice with no experi...

I would have to agree that I would like to see a "residency" type program for new NP grads. I will complete my FNP degree in 2014 and I would love to enhance my experience as a APRN before taking a more "permanent" position. Upon graduation I will ha...

Sounds like my lines many of our ER visitors! The scary thing is when you anticipate their coming and nothing happens hen bang! Your knee deep in fumes of cheap liqueur and McDonald's! While still caring for the sick grandparent down the hall

I feel your frustration, I too work in a college town ED and its very trying to care for sick patients when the drunk ones are yelling and carrying on. Plus the drunk friends who insist on taking their friend home and arguing with staff. Counting the...

I would be interested in reading it as well!

I am trying to get a feel for some things on relocating as a new grad NP. I am graduating in 2014 and would like to relocate, unfortunately I am not in a compact state, would it be easier to already have my RN for the states I am will to relocate to?...

Thank you for the info, it just might be best for me to stay in my state and work on my certification and go from there! I do plan on getting a few state RN licenses as you suggested and plan on working as an RN until certified. I appreciate the info...

Its unfortunate I agree. So, I have to say that online learning is not at all discrediting to every person, it depends vastly on the program one attends.

My online program has many requirements that the preceptor must have or must find another to follow its not as easy as picking one from a list or letting anyone do it. I attend a major university non-profit and think they have a very well developed p...

I go to BSU and love the program there. I applied and was wait listed for a year (my undergrad gpa was 3.2), but there are many applicants as well. The only thing is the program is part time only and you have to find your own preceptors for clinicals...

Many schools hold this policy. I attend a major university 40miles from my home town as a distance student that applies the same policy. However, they do not find preceptors for us but will provide a list if available for anyone used in our area in t...

I can sympathize with your situation. I am required to find preceptors for my program as well. It can be very trying. As suggested join organizations and post on any forum you can find. Reach out as much as possible. Keep your head up and move forwar...

any personal or known experience with this service, I checked out the website and it seems very pricey!!!

Mobile icu is absolutely awesome they have everything and have lots of room! We also have a wonderful children's hospital who has a nicu mobile unit that is out of this world.

I have only used it twice, which I was at that pt beside the entire time and they were transferred out one by flight with an RN/MD on board and the other mobile icu that requires an RN in my state of practice. This has been a few years ago, but was a...

NTG as well, usually a given.

We have no Emergent cardiology services on site a rural facility, all true cardiac patients are transferred, med protocol depends on the accepting cardiologist. Although we make sure they have received ASA and most cases heparin bolus/gtt, recently w...
