  1. UCLA shifts....One month day, one night?

    youngRNstudent replied to nursepearl's topic in California Nursing

    I work @ UCLA, but not as an RN yet! I do know a lot about what they offer and everything and I know that it depends on what unit you are working on. I know you do have to rotate shifts. This is...

  2. ADN NP's...?

    youngRNstudent replied to Dave ARNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  3. ADN NP's...?

    youngRNstudent replied to Dave ARNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  7. NP education - a rant

    youngRNstudent replied to CatskillNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NP programs give you HOURS and HOURS of clinical experience. How is that any different than the clinical experience you got in nursing school? Tons of people have told me that no matter what you...

  8. NP education - a rant

    youngRNstudent replied to CatskillNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    youngRNstudent replied to lehua's topic in California Nursing

    As a soon-to-be RN who will be working at a UC hospital, can you list a few of your reasons why you chose not to be in the CNA? What are the benefits/downsides to being in it? I know the non-agency...

    youngRNstudent replied to Hopegirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, at my hospital they use FNP's in the ER, as well as NP's in all the ICU's. In the ER I think they are mostly used for the "fast track" taking care of emergencies that aren't really
