  1. Retail Clinic salaries

    aggie313 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was wondering what the avg salary is for FNPs in retail clinics such as minute clinic and take care health clinics. And what about per diem shifts? I'm seriously considering working in such a...

  2. Business major at UC school transfer to nursing?

    aggie313 replied to 321GoForIt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd finish up your bachelors while completing prereqs and gaining volunteer experience then apply to ELMSN programs to become a NP. It's the fastest route I think if being a NP is your end

  3. ASN/BSN/or Accelerated MSN?

    aggie313 replied to mhartj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would knock out the prereqs at a community college and get some healthcare volunteer experience and obtain letters of recommendation and apply to an entry level masters nursing program. I just...

  6. Transfer from UC to Nursing School ?

    aggie313 replied to orchids1129's topic in California Nursing

    Fellow Aggie here. I was in the same boat you were. I'd say to get any health care exp you can whether it be paid or not, especially with underserved populations. Nursing schools love that kind of...

  7. Advice--Where to go from here. Med School?

    aggie313 replied to LizHope's topic in Advanced Practice

    Liz, My advice is to apply to as many direct entry NP programs as you can that guarantee you the NP track of your choice and see where you get in. Some are as little as 1.75 years to as long as 4...

  11. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    aggie313 replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    aggie313 replied to SJE RN's topic in Nursing Career

    SJERN, Being a NP is the way to go to get out of this bedside nursing mess. I'm in a elmsn fnp program and I'm so thankful for that because I can go through the rn portion in a year and head straight...

  15. Spanish for nurses

    aggie313 replied to Robublind's topic in Emergency

    I'm hoping to become bilingual in Spanish as well. What did you guys think the best method of learning Spanish was? Books, online, Rosetta Stone, study

  16. Are shy and quiet people not allowed to be nurses?

  17. CSU Sacramento's BSN program and Sonoma State's FNP program?

  18. College Graduate Hoping to becomg NP (Help!)

    aggie313 replied to Phikhanh's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    aggie313 replied to bruins2012's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I had similar stats as you and I got into a few elmsn programs last year but I think it all comes down to the interview in the end. Good

  20. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    aggie313 replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    aggie313 replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    aggie313 replied to wannabnurse81's topic in California Nursing

    I'm in a FNP program. I'd say they look at your whole app, not just stats on GPA and test score. Try to get as much volunteer work in as possible, esp with underserved populations. Shadowing a NP...
