  1. NICU Interview Help!

    preppyrn replied to Brand New BSN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hey Raqnader82, It has been 9 years - whew! This post took me way back in time. I’m currently a Dermatology Nurse Practitioner, but I loved being a NICU nurse! I did follow up daily via voicemails...

  2. Simmons University School of Nursing FNP online program

    preppyrn replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  3. Nursing@Simmons

    preppyrn replied to OkieICU_RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I actually just finished the Biology Fundamentals Course this past fall. It actually was a wonderful "refresher" course to get you back into school-mode. I believe students that *just* met the...

  4. Feel Horrible, Have Lost All Confidence....

    preppyrn replied to LatinRN1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with shermrn. I know it's hard, especially as nurses we are "people pleasers" in a way. You were doing an excellent job in your new unit and you will continue to do so. Mistakes happen,...

  6. Georgetown Online FNP

    preppyrn replied to vwde's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was hoping to find advice from anyone here first hand. I'm hoping the 70K is worth it, since my BSN was around $200k and currently I work in a very low-paying state. Regardless of monitary issues, I...

  7. Hospital Question (Childrens Hospital, Philadelphia)

    preppyrn replied to Murse270's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi Nick, I've heard good and bad. From my understanding, obtaining a full time position as a new grad at CHOP at the moment is very difficult. At most they are doing part time/per diem with...

    preppyrn replied to iheartcali_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    iheartcali, You sound exactly like me one year ago! It had been months since I was actually in a hospital when I recieved my new grad RN job offer. First off, if you got the job, you certainly have...

  9. Questions regarding RN Residency

    preppyrn replied to jenmesh's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi Jenmesh, All residency programs in all areas of the country vary their acceptance rates and difficulty to get into. However, I would look into finding information through allnurses for previous...

  10. Difficulty finding job as a new nurse

    preppyrn replied to nightnurse79's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    preppyrn replied to Futterwacken's topic in Florida Nursing

    preppyrn replied to Brand New BSN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  14. How far is your commute?? (and big city traffic)

    preppyrn replied to RxOnly's topic in General Nursing

    54 miles, 1 1/2 hours into Tampa, FL. Figured it was worth it because I am 1. a new RN who needs a job 2. consider it a short term arrangement. Parking isn't an issue as the facility charges $20/month...

    preppyrn replied to Laborgirl11's topic in Nursing Career

  20. New York Presbyterian BSN only?

    preppyrn replied to Jgruber215's topic in New York Nursing
