  1. Debt...

    NJprisonrn replied to njxcrush18's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am about to start NP school (admittedly different than CRNA) but my plan is to maintain my current frugal lifestyle for many years. I'll live in the same cheap townhouse and drive my 2001 Nissan...

  2. Taking Classes at Multiple Community Colleges

    NJprisonrn replied to pinkmatter's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I agree. In fact, I would talk to an admissions adviser at the school you want to attend and let them know your though process. That way they know your plan and you have contact information. I...

  4. Why did/or do you want to be an NP?

    NJprisonrn replied to NUR864531's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I want to be an NP because I am not satisfied at the RN level. I want to make decisions rather than carry out tasks. I want to be a provider. I am also very interested in dermatology so I know that...

  5. UMDNJ vs. Thomas Jefferson University

    NJprisonrn replied to neuronRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    UMDNJ is on my list schools since it's so close to my house. But finding your own clinical preceptors seems a little daunting. I think NP school will be hard enough without that added...

    NJprisonrn replied to courtneyr's topic in Post Graduate Students

    NJprisonrn replied to cthomson's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Good for you mz-marit! We need open minded clinicians like yourself. Abortion is an important service, though people do not like to talk about it. I applaud you for stating your desire and I hope...

  10. New Grad with an interview at the prison

    NJprisonrn replied to olliesmommy1005's topic in Correctional

    Congrats!! My first RN job was in a state prison. It wasn't easy for a new grad but I learned a ton. The interview was very casual. No test or clinical questions. They gave me several days of...

  13. Fall 2012 NP Applications

    NJprisonrn replied to rachelaleanRN2B's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Marinoh, I got my decision a few weeks ago. Did you check your online application? Does it still say pending? If so, you're still in the running! One thing that might be an issue is that March 1st...

  14. Fall 2012 NP Applications

    NJprisonrn replied to rachelaleanRN2B's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Marinoh, Good luck with your goals. I think FNP has a broad scope of practice, so you should be able to do those things. Usually the education is focused on primary care, but you should be able to...

  16. Anyone worked full-time, went to school part time, and get pregnant in grad school?

    NJprisonrn replied to RachelRNMgr's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Is it possible to go to school full time (and be done quicker), work part time, and have a baby after graduation? The other options are doable, but this way you'd be able to give your new baby plenty...

  17. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

    NJprisonrn replied to myelin's topic in Post Graduate Students

  18. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

    NJprisonrn replied to myelin's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Well I didn't get in to the FNP. But that's ok. I know they only pick maybe 20 people out of so many applicants. No matter. There are other schools and even next year. Thinking positive thoughts...

  24. smartphone for school

    NJprisonrn replied to danceluver's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I use my Droid 2 quite a bit, but really any smart phone will have access to apps like Medscape and Epocrates. I used an ITouch throughout nursing school since the school policy forbade phones on the...

  25. Lecture notes/recording ?s

    NJprisonrn replied to Esnooopy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I used my ITouch to record all my nursing school lectures. I had to get a microphone attachment ($5 on ebay) but I hear the IPhone doesn't need it. I used the ITalk app. The "lite" version is free...
