    NJprisonrn replied to fnpL's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Now I want that stethoscope! I thought it was professional with just a hint of jazz. Who could dirt on

  2. Is all this school just crap or what?

    NJprisonrn replied to burnedoutRNinSC's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I totally agree. I'm in FNP school full time and the sheer amount of papers can be overwhelming. I feel so fortunate that I took a graduate level Health Policy course with my BSN program, making me...

  3. Need opinions on workload

    NJprisonrn replied to BBrinkerhoff's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am in a full time FNP program. I was working 4 days a week last semester but now that I have clinical 2 days a week I am down to 2.5 days a week. I have no kids (which helps) but it still quite a...

  4. Looking to others to receive/offer support while in NP school

    NJprisonrn replied to kathrn99's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    We are all going through this together! I also am having my fist clinical rotation this semester. Midterms are next week, but there is also a PowerPoint presentation due on top of another paper, and...

  5. Which class do you wish you took by itself?

    NJprisonrn replied to serenitylove14's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Health assessment. I wish this class was longer and 2-3 days a week. The more practice we have, the better we will be prepared for clinical. I often felt rushed in class since it was only one day...

  6. Independent Contractor vs. Regular Employee?

    NJprisonrn replied to reeya's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As someone who used to be self employed, let me tell you that taxes are a HUGE hassle. I would take the $2 less per hour and let someone else handle all of that nonsense. I am an employee now and I...

  7. NP program that provides clinicals/preceptors

    NJprisonrn replied to Kitty's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Richard Stockton in NJ has been a great help to me. I'm in my second semester and just started clinical. They placed me and I am so happy! Keep in mind that they encourage you to find places that...

  8. NP program cost. Your input please!

    NJprisonrn replied to hik9258's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am going to a state school in NJ (so in state tuition). I am going to pay about 40K for my 52 credit FNP. It would be less if I were going for the adult tract. That is in addition to the 30K that...

  9. Officially a NP student

    NJprisonrn replied to Palliative Care, DNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I want to chime in as a new NP student who just started clinicals. My preceptor is awesome, and the docs and PAs are willing to teach. I am so grateful. It occurred to me today that my clinicals...

    NJprisonrn replied to nitasarn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'll be graduating NP school next year and I am so nervous about that first job. Will I be prepared? Will I get a job? I wish you all the

  11. Not a real nurse huh?

    NJprisonrn replied to kkrlaa5512's topic in School

    My mom was a psych nurse for as long as I remember. Since I graduated nursing school I've worked in corrections and at a doctor's office. Nurses work in many areas other than the hospital. Yet...

  12. What kind of non-clinical jobs RN new grads are getting?

    NJprisonrn replied to mybabies2000's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think you are right. Outpatient and home care are the big things now. It's more cost effective and patients would rather not be in the hospital in the first place. Bedside nursing will always be...

  13. Research this!

    NJprisonrn replied to bsnanat2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I can't agree more! I just finished my first MSN semester. I really enjoyed patho and assessment. Yet theory was the most time consuming, boring, and by far the most useless class. I felt like I...

  14. Anybody have elective rotations in their programs?

    NJprisonrn replied to camhack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I also want to go into derm after graduation. My school (Richard Stockton) is focused mainly on primary care but we are allowed to do a few weeks in our area of interest in our last semester. It's a...

    NJprisonrn replied to jaznia15's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    We can do it! I'm almost finished my first semester of full time FNP school. Wow, it's not easy, especially when I'm working part time. Let's all just keep swimming until we reach the end of our...

    NJprisonrn replied to NursingBro's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Here is an old thread with some good info. https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/easy-way-remember-403349.html They gave me a sheet when I was in nursing schools so that's what I used. There...

  17. Any list of important meds that will most likely be on the NCLEX?

    NJprisonrn replied to NursingBro's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I remember seeing meds I'd never heard of in the NCLEX. Know the common name endings (ex: olol-beta blocker) and do hundreds of practice questions, especially those awful choose all that apply ones....

  18. Full Time Burn Out

    NJprisonrn replied to jaznia15's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am also in a full time program while working. Man is it tough! Clinical starts next semester and I am not looking forward to the craziness. I'm the one who wanted to get done quickly so I have no...

  19. Correctional Nursing - can any one tell me about it

    NJprisonrn replied to dragn2623's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    No problem, anjresident. If you're in a state prison then that's how it should work, unless they changed things. Good luck. It's not a bad job, so long as you're comfortable using your skills solo....

  20. Correctional Nursing - can any one tell me about it

    NJprisonrn replied to dragn2623's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    They list the base pay in the UNDNJ job site. This is how it worked at the prison when I was there last year. I had no experience so I got $25/hr base pay. So first shift (6-230pm) was 25/hr. A...

    NJprisonrn replied to registeredin06's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    NJprisonrn posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi everyone, I am getting ready to start my MSN in a few weeks. The cost of books is quite a doozy!!! I have to get the 10th edition of Bates Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking. With...

    NJprisonrn replied to BowHunterRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

  24. International Editions of textbooks

    NJprisonrn replied to NJprisonrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are many IE of books on ebay and Abesbooks. I haven't had much luck getting sellers to get back to me about the contents before they were purchased by someone else. Actually, I just scored the...

  25. Rent or buy text???

    NJprisonrn replied to Floridanurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I rented a text once. It was for a class that I knew would be boring and where I knew I wouldn't need it again. There are so many books on my shelf now that I need to be
