iMACRN2FNP

this is a well-written letter. did you give it to her and a copy to her director? just curious. i think you should. really sad how some nurses eat their young and are very insensitive of their patients' status ..... shame on them

1. Do you have a family? children? 2. Does your husband make enough to supplement your income? 3. Are you interested in paid vacations (summer, spring break, Thanksgiving break, Christmas break, and holidays?) 4. Can you tolerate a seating position (desk job) for 8 hours? 5. Are you good with public speaking? 6. Are you confident enough to work by yourself? 7. Confident enough to make nursing decisions? If you answer "yes" to all, then you shouldn't think twice. I would suggest working PRN at the hospital though, cause once you out for quite some time, it's hard to go back.

Texas Tech was very organized as far as when I attended for my RN-BSN. I wouldn't mind going there for my NP but it's too far from me. Try UT, I heard it's an excellent school also.

Exercise at least 5 days a week, 30 min per day. Eat healthy. Get rest. Find out what books you will be using ahead of time and get the older version under the latest at Ebay or Amazon, most of the time, the older texts would work. Get a smartphone. Get a good reliable computer and plenty of flashdrives to save articles, schoolwork, etc. Write your schedule down on a calendar as soon as you get the syllabus. Attend professional organization meetings in your area (good way to network). Set up your study area. Stock pile on pens and highlighters. Before school starts, spend lots of time with your family.

1. How would you handle differing culture values different from yours? 2. Is this the only school you applied to? 3. Why (name of school) when you completed your undergrad from (other school)? 4. Why (PNP, AGNP, FNP, etc)? 5. What do you plan to do with you degree after you finish? 6. How do you learn best? 7. Are you willing to travel to clinical sites far from where you reside? 8. What would you do if somebody in a group project is not contributing work? 9. What do you do if you felt you deserve a better grade because you worked hard on a paper? 10. What would you do if you have other methods of treatment other than your preceptor? How are you going to approach that? 11. What are your plans if you do not get into graduate school? 12. How do you deal with conflict? Give an example. 13. Is there a time when your values differ from your boss? 14. How do you plan to finance your education? 15. Describe your support system. 16. How do you plan to contribute to (name of school)? 17. Tell me about your nursing background. 18. Tell me about yourself. 19. What are your long-term goals? short-term? 20. What are your strengths? weaknesses? There are more, these are all that I remembered. I wrote them all down immediately right after the interview.
