  1. NPs: How did you learn clinical skills??

    My program is a hybrid program at a brick and motar state university. For us it is 90% online and 10% in class. All our class lectures are online and you can choose to go to the school or get tests...
  2. I currently attend Georgia College and State University. The main campus is in Millegeville, but the graduate campus is in downtown Macon. I am currently enrolled in the full time program and will be...
  3. Working and FNP

    I started school full time last summer. I went PRN at my job but have done at least three 12 hour shifts a week even some overtime throughout the program thus far with good results. I have a soon to...
  4. DNP....Is it worth it for me????

    I can't really answer your questions but I can tell you my situation. I am a single parent of a wonderful soon to be 6 year old son. I am 23 soon to be 24 so you can do the math of the age I had this...

  7. I should have gone to med school! (rant)

    If you've ever had the chance to work around 1st year residents, your confidence would be greatly boosted. New residents are quite frankly, clueless and a lot would ask RNs advice when taking care of...
  8. One year as RN requirement

    The key word in the sentence is a full year before CLINICAL courses. There are core course requirements that will have to be fufilled before going into clinicals depending on the program these...
  9. Exams vs. writing papers!!!!

    Well my program has consisted of both exams and papers to write. Of course in the core course (research, theory, a safety class) there was more paper writing and no exams. In the big courses the big...
  10. 18 more months

    After 4 years of undergrad, it feels good to say I'm about to be done with my second semester of FNP school which leaves me with 18 more months. This full time load has been hell on me emotionally...

    Thanks so much for your reply, I plan on relocating to Atlanta after I graduate and have yet to find someone to give me advice for that area. I feel more confident now when it comes to negoiating for...
  12. when is it ok to bring up....

    I am not an NP yet but I sure hate it when I do become one. Since I am in school full time, I have a PRN position and have gotten plenty of hours which has put my salary probably above the average RN...
  13. Where am I competitive?

    I don't think its impossible depending on what LPN program he went through. I graduated from high school at age 17 (turned 18 that summer in July), graduated with my BSN at the age of 21 (turned 22...

  17. I posted in the careers section my surprise termination today. Needless to say nursing politics ruled again at my new job. I was basically told I didn't fit in with the close knit night shift group....
  18. Update: had interview today for prn float pool position, the lady said as long as all my references come back good, I'm hired and start the 23rd so I'm praying my last boss lives up to her word about...
  19. Your opinion of the DNP

    I'm in the MSN program now at my Alma Mater for my FNP, the school has just gotten a DNP program with 7 guinea pigs in it now. The program is 2 years full time course work after getting the MSN. At...
  20. I definitely will try to get a written recommendation and make copies. So far on my applications, I've noted that it was a mutual decision to leave during my probationary period because the job was...
  21. Well they have lost a lot of nurses in the past year but that was true of my previous job as well. Now looking back at what happened to me I'm quite sure this is th reason. I witnessed one of the...

  24. Commuting 1 1/2 to work???-- new grad
