  1. Decent new grad pay

    Aussierules1985 replied to ashonman's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I can guarantee its not just women... I was just young, inexperienced, and in a very poor area. I did what I had to. I needed the experience. When my wife moved to a real market; the wage went way up....

  2. Am I really a NP if I do laser hair removal?

    Aussierules1985 replied to wildcatarnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work in an area that is not generally well accepted/well thought of. In my opinion do what makes you happy, personally I'm too new for quitting yet(low experience to move to my desired area), but...

  3. Education Career

    Aussierules1985 replied to SoJoFlo's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    This is exactly the reason I haven't applied for teaching; they all are M-F during the working hours... I'm dying inside to try teaching, it just sounds like so much fun to me. I wish I could help...

  4. Recent NWCC graduate

    Aussierules1985 replied to JUSTanLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, I seem to think that the critical fail outside of academically passing is everywhere. I understand the purpose, but it is indeed ridiculous. I started nursing way before I was ready...

  5. Where are all those desperate new grads?

    Aussierules1985 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Good luck on the search! I wish I would have known how to search as well as some of you guys. It took me nearly three months, ever since then its a breeze! But experience, and as discussed, moving, is...

  6. FNP the good, bad and ugly (if any)??

    Aussierules1985 replied to Cindy-20's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Money. Security. Options. Annoying patients, more annoying management, more so annoying having to manage my

  7. Can anyone relate to delay in providing employee contract?

    Aussierules1985 replied to lvan0904's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm pretty new in this area too, but I must say, if you haven't signed, i'd be gone... No pay.. no provider. My clinics are exploding in hiring, but the management is a little unorganized; they...

  8. NP Programs that Provide Preceptors

    Aussierules1985 replied to diana_lopez's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Ole Miss (FNP provides preceptors)! And whatever school you're thinking about in the North, we're cheaper! ... and warmer in Winter! Good

  9. The Florida job market cannot be this bad?!

    Aussierules1985 replied to reddgirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yep, mobility was huge. I got a local job where I graduated, then got a 40% pay bump up north! Did you try temping in an indian reservation or something? I mean idk, but they have temp gigs for sure...

  12. FNP new grad -- offered a GI job -- should I take it?

    Aussierules1985 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Having to be forced to stay in an area is a serious limitation to finding a good job. Personally i'd take it if you like the work and the people. Finding ideal jobs are hard to come by straight out....

  13. DNP....Is it worth it for me????

    Aussierules1985 replied to Spazzerific9's topic in Advanced Practice

    Aussierules1985 replied to NPAlby's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  15. future RN-BSN student needs guidance

    Aussierules1985 replied to V.Mejia's topic in Advanced Practice

    Not from your area but IMO isn't GCU an online university? Just saying I personally think that the clinical classes are more important when asking what school, but still, if its an online school, I do...

  16. Accepted to Christian U- but I'm not Christian...

    Aussierules1985 replied to suzw's topic in School, College Programs

    BTW.. good luck out there. I can only imagine the trials you go through, its always a huge decision in picking schools. I am kinda surprised you had to take 5 courses (little high), but if you get...

  17. Accepted to Christian U- but I'm not Christian...

    Aussierules1985 replied to suzw's topic in School, College Programs

    It seems like forever ago, but mostly there was limited cheesy ceremonies to the start. There was a summer missions trip which was clearly implied to be a missions trip for credit. But really all it...

  18. Accepted to Christian U- but I'm not Christian...

    Aussierules1985 replied to suzw's topic in School, College Programs

    Being a Christian School graduate, I understand the dilemma. I am a Christian, but the schools are somewhat serious about doing the classes they have approved by curriculum for graduating. I...

  19. ANP vs FNP

    Aussierules1985 replied to jbroo2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    PS My internal medicine boss asked me to work in his hospital to do rounds... I declined.. I heard that some states regulate what FNP vs ACNPs do.. I thankfully don't need to worry, but you may need...

  20. ANP vs FNP

    Aussierules1985 replied to jbroo2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    IMO, straight out unless your a A plus candidate with perfect everything its often harder to get exactly what you want. After some experience different story. It may be different if you're willing to...

  22. Failed AANP

    Aussierules1985 replied to ENP1987's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Don't forget that (if im not mistaken) they rotate randomly the amount of questions, you have 20% ortho, and next test it may be 3%... I forget if they give you results of areas, if so.. look at

    Aussierules1985 replied to bswstudent's topic in General Nursing

    About the calling, the collective field I did feel somewhat of a calling, beyond the cheesy Church-like speeches, I did actually feel a calling to be in the area. The idea of calling was in reference...

  24. Calculator at work?

    Aussierules1985 replied to 1Luv_xo's topic in General Nursing

    Took calculus in 10th grade, mistakes are mistakes, I think I'm pretty good at math, but I always check anyways. It's all about safety, you and your patients are worth it, if anyone makes fun of you,...

  25. School of Nursing Survey (Your feedback is appreciated)

    Aussierules1985 replied to glonurse1's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN
