Are there any OR nurses here who went to school for FNP? I am an ambulatory circulator and would like to venture into working as a nurse practitioner. I would love to hear about anyone's experience in this career track. I don't know if I want to stay...

Thanks for your input benrosy! I'm in process of applying for Texas Tech. I work in ambulatory surgery right now so the schedule is pretty relaxed. I'm very excited to see that there are other OR nurses going into advanced practice. I think the FNP m...

I was looking into applying for the fall 2019 FNP at TTUHSC. Like some of you that have posted on this thread I did my RN to BSN through Texas Tech and really enjoyed the program. Does anyone know if the research course requirement for admission into...

I am looking for advice from any GN nurses that had signed a 2 year residency contract and then breached it. I will owe a fee if I break the contract but I may have a job offer in a specialty I really want to do. I am willing to pay the fee since thi...

Hello all! I'm reaching out to anyone who has applied to Texas Tech's online RN to BSN program either currently or in the past year. I wanted to start at Texas Tech next Spring (2016) but from what I hear it is very competitive. I have been an RN for...

MAC is working out so far☺️. Maybe we should start another discussion for those of us starting the program in January. I've chosen the 2 semester option....hope it's not too much. Did you happen to get a email that was regarding online orientatio...

So doing the online orientation and finding that having a MAC really does not work. Anyone else having issues? Thinking I need to go to public library where I can use a regular PCí ½í¸

Anyone have experience with this job. Is it enjoyable? What about the salary? Is there opportunity to advance in this field? Thank you :)

No. I actually found my niche in the OR. Thanks for asking í ½í¸‰

That is so awesome! Congrats!

Received a contingent acceptance!

Is it totally online? Thanks

HI Pacsun. Is it all online?

That's great twoy83! I think that because my prerequisites are incomplete that I may not get in í ½í¸. I wrote an email to the advisor hoping she could give me an idea about my chances of acceptance. I am a OR nurse and have been a nurse for a year ...

So excited to leave med surg! I broke the contract, and paid the $5k. I am going to work day surgery and train to circulate! Really excited the pay and the hours are so much better as well. I have been pretty miserable and realize I am just not a med...

That's great wannabe í ½í¸ƒI got great news a couple days ago! I got an offer to work in a day surgery center and be trained to be a circulator. I am really excited to get my foot in the door and get started on my OR careerí ½í¸· NO MORE med/surg! I ...

Yes, curious if anyone has had that experience too. 12 grand is a lot!

$5000

It's definitely tough being a new grad because you take whatever job comes. I also was afraid not to take the first job offered. Now I'm trying to do what I really wanted to do. Grateful for the experience I'm getting for the time being. I can only ...

Greetings! I have been trying for an OR RN position with local ambulatory surgical centers. I have interviewed for one and loved the facility and staff I met. I have another interview coming up as well. My only concern is salary. The hourly pay is hi...

Sorry about that. I thought I included location. I'm in North Texas. Actually I am open to hearing from nurses across the country. I'm transitioning from hospital to ASC and would like to know what to expect salary wise. Thank you

Thank you for sharing your experience. I will probably never be able to work at that facility or its affiliates because of the breach and I am willing to take accountability for my actions. I wish I knew then (at contract signing) what I know now. 2...

That's great Wannabe! I sure hope I get an interview soon. Your story gives me hope!

To my knowledge most all hospitals have some sort of residency but length of residency, contract agreements, and pay vary. As a GN I was desperate for a job and signed a 2 year contract on a Med/surg floor. The facility has a great reputation but boy...

Residencies are not what they seem. Please be warned...a contract as well as low hourly wage are part of the deal. Yes, the wage is better than nothing and yes a job is better than no job but there are jobs out there that don't have a contract. My ad...
