    As a new NP, did you do a residency program?

    That sounds really cool - I just read about ThriveAP. I can see that really taking off. I really love it! It definitely has its challenges.. kids can only tell you so much, or they present differently than what you'd expect, and sometimes parent...

    As a new NP, did you do a residency program?

    I tried to! There weren't many PNP fellowships when I graduated, but I would have loved to have done one ? I think they're a great idea, but, I'm doing just fine without having done one.

    Importance of NP Program Reputation, Name Recognition

    It did for me! I went to Vanderbilt, and got a PNP fellowship interview, and several NP job interviews that were at least partially - some fully - because of where I went. Now.. if I had to find a job in Nashville, that might have been a stretc...
  4. Hey guys! I'm hoping for some guidance or suggestions. I'm going to hopefully be moving to CA soon, so I've begun looking into transferring over my nursing licenses. I have an expired RN license from several years ago, so hopefully that'll be fairly ...

    Transferring license to California - Which method??

    Hehe, hip hip hooray! Okay, cool... what if I don't know yet what job I'll get, to know if I'll want to or need to prescribe scheduled drugs? Haha this is so intense! Every state is so different..

    Transferring license to California - Which method??

    For the furnishing number (man, $400??), since I graduated from my nursing program less than 5 years ago, do you think I meet the requirements to skip like..proving the classes I took, and all that? It also asks for my NP license #; do you think I ca...

    Transferring license to California - Which method??

    Ahhh, awesome. That makes so much more sense. Thank you! Such a big help. And yes, did you guys get your furnishing number at the same time, or closer to when you were getting a job? Or is it best to just do it all at one? Ughhh so I realized (I was ...

    juan de la cruz (or anyone else out there who knows about this process!): I was hoping you might be able to help me again?? I'm finalizing applying for my CA NP. My RN license is reactivated, yay! 1) On the online application, it asks "Did you obtai...

    Transferring license to California - Which method??

    Ah, awesome. Well, I'm glad it seems like a bit of a more straightforward answer than I was initially expecting. And yeah, I did see that about the NPF. I'll just send in all 3 at once. Thank you so much!

    Jobs other than in an office?

    Hi, friends! I'm almost a year in as a pediatric primary care NP in a small pediatrician's office (it's just the MD and me), and while I absolutely LOVE the actual work I'm doing, the job itself is really really quickly burning me out. I was a bedsid...

    Jobs other than in an office?

    That sounds wonderful! I can imagine it has its stresses all of its own, though. Thank you for the suggestion. What kind of home care do you provide??

    Jobs other than in an office?

    Thanks! I hadn't thought about home care at all - I'm honestly not sure what those options would be. I agree that it would be a nice break in scheduling, though, as it would with speciality clinics ?
  15. Hey there! Sorry if this a repeat of several other topics..I've been reading through many threads, and there is so much information, I'm getting overloaded. I'm an RN currently working as a traveler in the US. I have almost 2 years of experience. I w...

    AGENCY NURSING

    I'm working with HCA, and live in Melbourne. I get calls every day right now for work - and often, a chance to work "doubles." It is quite a culture shock with the new medication names, how the wards run, etc. You are just expected to function right ...

    Working Holiday as RN?

    I completed the whole process a few months ago, and am headed over to Melbourne in June! It took me about 8 months to get my AHPRA registration, and 1-2 mos for my working holiday visa. I've heard less for AHPRA, like just a few months, but most peop...

    American Nurse Seeking to Work in Australia

    Ha, it is exactly like that. So much to do you don't even wanna start.. I had a family friend notarize my documents, otherwise it can get pretty pricey. For my nursing stuff, I just sent original documents so I wouldn't have to deal with that. My co...

    American Nurse Seeking to Work in Australia

    Ahh, I knew that whole visa process would be expensive, but I didn't think it'd be THAT much!! Darn tests...so you can't go to your PCP? Since I'm traveling, my PCP is all the way back in Maryland, but I was hoping to try and coordinate a visit home ...
