Hello! I am a registered nurse with BSN who interested continuing my education to become FNP (BSN-DNP or BSN-MSN in FNP). FNP is my ultimate dream career goal. I'm looking to applying and so far I have been really disappointed. Several schools I have...

Hi all! I am currently working in med/surg but within the next year or two hubby and I planned having a second child. Thus with pregnancy working with heavy assignment and acute patient care is questionable. I am looking into doing case management fo...

I am one among the newest RNs on a busy floor. Every shift I am struggling to help pt's ADLs with minimal CNA assistance. A few CNAs are plain horrible. They won't answer my pager or when they do they would tell me they are with another pt. I told th...

Questions for NPs in practice maybe or maybe not already have done so in this route. I will be starting my BSN-DNP in May in Family Practice three years program, my question is can one still able to obtain ACNP after FNP? I want both. If I can, do I...

So am I! I grow up in a military household, married to a military service member and has a sister who also married to a military service member. My dad is a master chief (retired), my husband is an officer and my sister's husband is an enlisted. Yes,...

True if they chose to like when they decided to have too many children and only one of them working. Yes military does pay well. They pay for housing, free medical and a steady paycheck something the civilian sectors do not offer. If the OP works the...

You said you need the money when in fact your husband in the military?

What is nurse registry?

That's a tough call. Most schools required at least 3.0 GPA minimum. My GPA was 3.12 overall but I have 3.5 for nursing alone. I was admitted for DNP with great references and a goal statement. I wouldn't say never but do your homework. Research for ...

If I were you speaking from experience I would pick option 2 working in a healthcare facility setting. You won't be learning much working in nursing home except maybe some medications.

What about Loyola? It's all online except we are required go to the campus once a year. It's private and not-for-profit.

I would highly recommended if you are serious want to advance your career. Do it early while you don't have kids. Once you have kids your life will be totally different. I am attending BSN-DNP and I just turned 31. I wish I could have done it sooner ...

I'm just wondering if you all people with negative comments are NP. If you are then shame on you because no one look down on you as NP you are looking down on yourself. However, if you aren't NP then you deserve to stay where you are because you aren...

It's only matter to those who hasn't practiced, gone to NP or attending school to become NP.

Are NPs job market are being saturated as RNs? Im about to start my BSN-DNP in Family Practice. As we all know nursing is currently being saturated with RNs and jobs are difficult to come by therefore my question is will this be the same for NPs?

That's good to know. Something I have look forward to. I will not be picky as new NP as long as the pay is descent.

My family and I hope to put down our root maybe in FL or CA so I don't know how the job market in CA mainly in SD area.

This question is for all practice NP. I'm currently an RN/BSN working on med/ surg floor my pay as PRN if I work fulltime meaning 3 days a week I would take home after taxes roughly 35k. I'm cutting the hour and going back to school BSN-DNP. My pay n...

That's right! Probably the lowest paying job as RN ever. Sometimes for the amount of things we have to put up with flipping burger sounds appealing.

That pay I mentioned is not for NP, it's for RN staff. I hope I didn't confuse you. :)

We get paid nearly nothing here in this area. For new RN grad you probably make 18-19 per/hr. Yeah, it's that bad. I'm PRN I only make a couple bucks more. I still work some just to keep my skills and some little bit of money going. Little is better ...

You said you applied to MSN. How did you apply without knowing which specialty you are interested in. I got accepted to BSN-DNP in Family Practice so from the first start of this journey my goal was to become NP in Family. Along the way I am unlike s...

Oh lol! I wasn't aware I misspelled it. Thanks for brought that out to my attention.
