As a new Grad myself and in a similar predicament, go with ICU. I had a choice med/surg or cvicu and I was thinking the same everyone says you need med/surg but like many pointed out you can always go back if you dont like it. ICU is awesome and if...

Well everyone, I got an offer on a CVICU and accepted it!!! I'm stoked! What a great opportunity and I am so happy! Thanks for your support and advice.

Hello All, I want to say thanks in advance for chiming in on this topic. I am a new grad in the Detroit area and I am searching for my first job. My previous experience is nil aside of clinical experience in nursing school which mainly consisted of...

There are a lot of nurses that get up in the morning and drink a large (sometimes in Merica, a XL) cup of hater-aid?? I'm a very easy going guy, never expect anything anyone. But it sure does solidify an article I read that nurses eat their young an...

Just seems when you say your going to advance your degree they look at you like oh another kid who thinks he's a hot shot. I'm not only confident, but competent. And again Im not saying I know it all. Sorry I want to get comfortable before I have a f...

On this forum, it seems like most are quickly to judge. Look at my previous post and right away someone was like, you must pay your dues etc... I'm just saying there is some generalizations made. I didn't mean to start a whole thread on this. My r...

Sweeney, Nicki thank you both for your opinion and non-bias attitude towards my limited exp. I was on a CVICU for my preceptor and managed well, my pts and their families enjoyed my help. Not to say I didn't have a preceptor with me, but I brought u...

Thank you both, as I have researched and can regurgitate the requirements for all the specialties that I am interested in. My question I guess was stated vaguely, but was intended to get a response of experiences on these floors. I have been lookin...

my instructor wanted all of us to see one of each vag/c-sec and she kept sending us over as she could after that. At one point I'd rather do the new born assessments vs delivery/surgery.

I wouldn't say you'll get a bad edu from either. Wayne will give you an experience in Detroit hospitals for clinicals. I enjoyed OU, I did my PEDs clinical @ children's and was exposed to so much I just wish all my clinicals were there. (Level 1 ho...

So what are you trying to say?

Good luck, might wanna go ask jeb bush his opinion since your so pro-bush!

Well thats an interesting question I don't know if its an "and/or" stipulation... Be sure to let us know what you find out. I'd assume both Wellington and or auckland work be best bet for a job they both are nice cities I've been to both and some of ...

A dnp also doesn't mean a PhDs that is a research degree, its encompasses different advanced practices... Although it's confusing we might more a different structure.

A dnp is what all our np and crna are moving towards a dnp mean you completed a doctorate (3-4years) a msn is a masters in nursing practices which is 2-3 years. Once the national switch is made in 2015 all will be required to get a DNP. Which is an ...

NZ looks sweet but I wouldn't expect to move there and off the bat, get a job. You do need the exp to be able to sell yourself as a good candidate. And she's right expect less pay and less jobs. I've considered moving there, maybe later on.

And im from Detroit, so to say i want outsourcing is a ridiculous notion. Bringing workers in (i know you say you have enough) but you can never have enough in todays economy, is what our governments are just trying to do, more citizens, thats the g...

So what about new immigrants you don't want them to get a job? visas aren't horribly expensive I was planning on paying for my own i didnt think they would up an sponsor anyone. So what ceridwyn? you wanna stick me in Papua New Guinea with all those ...

Its a catch-22 I know of a uni you don't need a BSN but atleast 1 yr ICU, good luck. Plus I know a girl in the crna program and she had 2yrs icu exp and most if not all want adult not peds. I like children over adults care more hope.

My university does medical brigades in Honduras and Panama I know we have students from other Unis attending too. So check out Global Brigades | Global Brigades and look for chapters near you or get a faculty and a doctor to help you start one! Good...

I knew you were biased towards all people trying to immigrate to aus. In the US we welcome everyone its a melting pot for a reason. Change is good. As I've talked with Australian people before (and traveled as a student ambassador to Australia) US n...

No, you must hold a registration in your state to apply for grad school in the US to get a NP. You may apply to some programs without exp. NPs are highly regarded here as well.

Never once did I reign in an arragont mannor of a superior American... I simply said once you satisfy the criteria and so forth. What I am referring to is the wait, which I have been told can be a long time while ahpra evaluates your overseas degree...

The equivalent of three (3) years’ full-time experience in an advanced practice nursing role within the previous six (6) years from date of lodgement of application. The applicant must also meet the Board’s registration standard on recency of practic...

I was in contact with the vp of the nurse practitioner college (not the correct name I forget it). But he told me that you could do it a couple ways, I had the same idea, like everything if you have money you can apply to an australian uni and trans...
