  3. Simmons College - FNP March cohort

    MILOBRI replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Terese - My application was submitted to faculty on Monday 3/24, and I was awarded admission today, Wednesday 3/26. My admission rep said they've been getting decisions quickly

  4. Simmons University School of Nursing FNP online program

    MILOBRI replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for the information, Tasha. That certainly makes sense. I'm applying for the May cohort, but will reapply for September if I don't get in this time

  5. Simmons University School of Nursing FNP online program

    MILOBRI replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    How long has it generally been taking for people to hear back regarding acceptance or rejection? All of my letters of recommendation were finally submitted on Thursday, but my admissions rep was out...

  6. Clinical attire

    MILOBRI posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am still waiting on acceptance/rejections, but am curious to know what you wear to clinical rotations. Does it depend on the rotation? Does your school mandate a dress

  7. How prompt were your references?

    MILOBRI posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I had my FNP application materials completed and submitted in under 2 days. However, my application is not complete without my 3 LOR's from my references. With a looming deadline, I'm feeling anxious!...

  8. Hate being an RN

    MILOBRI posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm a new grad working in ER and acute care. I dread going to my job in acute care each shift. I like what I do in the ER, but hate how the docs treat the nurses - short and condescending, and just...

  9. Equal pay for equal work?

    MILOBRI posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm an ER nurse and I know I want more, and, admittedly, monetary compensation factors into decision making. How did you decide to pursue NP as opposed to DO/MD? I'm interested in family practice or...

  10. Hate being an RN

    MILOBRI replied to MILOBRI's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    One doc is the worst about it. There aren't a lot of chairs, so she'll come up to the RN and stand there with her hand on her hip until the nurse gets up - and they readily do. I know I'm a new grad,...

  11. Hate being an RN

    MILOBRI replied to MILOBRI's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Continuing to work during NP school would make 4 years of RN experience. And is the role of the PA not similar to that of the NP? And are they required to have any experience as nurses, etc., before...

  12. Hate being an RN

    MILOBRI replied to MILOBRI's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not really. I believe most FNP programs only require 1 year of nursing experience, which means I could apply to a program in the

  13. new graduate nurse taking TNCC ?

    MILOBRI replied to Pusheen's topic in Emergency

    I graduated in May, started in the ER in August, and just took TNCC last week. It was WONDERFUL! And, since I just had disaster nursing my last semester of nursing school, all of the information was...

  14. What do people think the ER is?

    MILOBRI replied to Sassy5d's topic in Emergency

    My guess is 'in and out', as such alternatives as 'intraosseous' and 'intake and output' probably aren't what is

  15. ED Cheat sheet?

    MILOBRI replied to MILOBRI's topic in Emergency

    Thank you, everyone. You're all right. With the high turnover, there's no need for a brain sheet. Paper towels work great, indeed. I am loving the ER, but hating my preceptor. Ugh. I'm pretty sure...

  16. New grad - should I take this ER job?

    MILOBRI posted a topic in Emergency

    I'm trying to rationalize a decision about work and weighing the pros and cons of receiving a good rate of pay vs. gaining experience. I've started working at hospital #1 PRN in the acute care unit....

  17. New grad - should I take this ER job?

    MILOBRI replied to MILOBRI's topic in Emergency

    Thank you, everyone. I really appreciate all of the great advice more than I can say. I formally accepted the ED job today and will start on August 12th. It works out great because I have another...

  18. Job offer for ER or CCU

    MILOBRI posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I interviewed with the managers of the ER and the Critcal Care Unit and received a job offer from both. I have until Monday to choose which department I want to work in. If you had to choose, which...

  19. How long does it take to get your first paycheck?

    MILOBRI posted a topic in General Nursing

    How long does it take to receive a paycheck once you start

  20. PRN here and full-time there?

    MILOBRI posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm a new RN. I interviewed on the last day of school and was offered acute care PRN 3 days after graduation. I start on Monday. Another hospital I applied at, however, called me today wanting to...

  21. 3D Ultrasound business / Study Song business

    MILOBRI replied to MILOBRI's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Thanks for your input. There are 3D ultrasound places that let you see your baby and give you a video for entertainment purposes only. We had 1 done with all 3 of our kids, but maybe most people...

  22. 3D Ultrasound business / Study Song business

    MILOBRI posted a topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I have 2 ideas for possible side businesses. First, can an RN start an ultrasound business for entertainment and/or gender determination purposes only. I have no experience running an ultrasound...

  23. PRN here and full-time there?

    MILOBRI replied to MILOBRI's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The orientation is full-time for 6 weeks, then PRN after that, but I've heard that you can get full-time hours if you want them. I'm just not sure if I should tell hospital #2 that I've accepted a...

  24. PRN nurses

    MILOBRI posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a new RN (just passed my boards last week) and I've been hired to work PRN in the acute care unit at a local hospital. I was disappointed at first that I didn't get hired as a contract nurse,...

  25. Where does the public get the idea that nurses make a ton of money?

    MILOBRI replied to edogs334's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am a new RN (I start my first job on Monday) and I am going to be starting out making double what I was using my bachelor's degree with 4 years of experience. I'm happy with
