  1. Need some advice from my fellow NPs

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

    Had a buddy be in the exact same situation... Got to ask whether its worth threatening walking out. You may win, may lose, but as you said, it it.. means a lot.. i'd be gone the moment someone who...

  2. new NP cant find a job

    Aussierules1985 replied to SheRN1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    HR depts in general have no clue what they're doing, just remember that on interviews, find every strength, find positives from their negatives, and always give yourself a positive outlook... And when...

  3. new NP cant find a job

    Aussierules1985 replied to SheRN1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Now that you mention Minute Clinic and the competitors, I've made lengthy applications for their jobs too, zero calls, and have some experience.... Then I got a way better call... Think positive: its...

  4. Who has both AANP and ANCC certifications? Should I?

    Aussierules1985 replied to BostonRN13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just an FYI; they recently stopped the reciprocity agreement. Now you can't get both by passing one (as mentioned

  5. Who has both AANP and ANCC certifications? Should I?

    Aussierules1985 replied to BostonRN13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have actually heard that Cleveland Clinic (or was it Mayo Clinic), only accepted ANCC, total hearsay, but just forwarding the info. That said where I am, is the same as the above, no one cared or...

  6. Transferring RN License from IL

    Aussierules1985 replied to Uptownurse's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Come to Mississippi! One week! ... At least on this end! I'm trying the other way around; wow... not used to

  7. Anyone applying to the UFL Fall 2013 BSN-DNP program

    Aussierules1985 replied to keisha e's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Whatever happens, don't let it bother you! PS Apply somewhere else ASAP! Don't waste any time, and good

  8. Which path should I choose? Univ/Junior college

    Aussierules1985 replied to ms_classy's topic in General Students

    This is ridiculously late, but I feel like it may be useful to mention to anyone else, that albeit bias, I went to Mississippi College, probably the toughest, and very hard to transfer in (preference...

  9. Graduated 1 year ago, still no job

    Aussierules1985 replied to MidLifeRN2012's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Though i'm not in Illinois yet, there is always a little negative recruiting stance when you're straight out. It happens in almost every field. Again I don't know your area, but having anything on a...

  10. I accepted job offer!!!

    Aussierules1985 replied to lynn5707's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    wow 4 8 hrs, very

  11. ANCC for 2013

    Aussierules1985 replied to manhow's topic in Advanced Practice

    I took the new exam in Summer 2012; i'm uncertain if they've modified it again. I don't believe it was that horrible, just not along traditionally taught classes for NP's. We're taught what's...

  12. Waiting for license from BoN

    Aussierules1985 replied to Luyago's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I started my process April 1st, all documents were overnighted by the 3rd, got a fingerprinting card after calling them 5 times that it hadn't come by the 21st, came 23rd, fingerprinted in the South...

  13. Waiting for license from BoN

    Aussierules1985 replied to Luyago's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I'm learning the hard way too. Good luck

  14. Job interview and offers

    Aussierules1985 replied to lynn5707's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The non-compete clauses are huge, they have them for their own safety. Most clinics don't want to promote you, then as said before take their patients all away, it shouldn't be a concern, it normally...

  15. Endorsement Fingerprints (Coming from IA)

    Aussierules1985 replied to ambellina's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I'm getting the same gist from my end. It's job protection, must to through IL workers, or pay a fee... I can handle the fee... I've waited for these guys three weeks for their "fingerprint card."...

  16. Job interview and offers

    Aussierules1985 replied to lynn5707's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Agree with the above, never feel bad; they are doing the same thing. Realize that as we look for multiple job opportunities they look at multiple candidates. And believe me until its on paper,...

  17. How is it that some NP programs are so much longer and some are so much shorter?

    Aussierules1985 replied to priorities2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    P.S. As a child of two professors that started graduate programs, some schools may be "not for profit," but don't let that be confused with don't want more money. Some schools, at the administrative...

  18. How is it that some NP programs are so much longer and some are so much shorter?

    Aussierules1985 replied to priorities2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Good discussion guys, but I have an answer to top them all: MORE MONEY. Yeah, they need specific classes to qualify etc... Some schools want more money. I tend to notice the schools that aren't as...

  19. DNP: What did you get out of it?

    Aussierules1985 replied to Aussierules1985's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Honestly i'm hoping to do exactly what you did, part time teaching while working as an NP. I love my clinic job, but I feel like teaching is just another area that I always had an interest in. It...

  20. DNP: What did you get out of it?

    Aussierules1985 posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I have a serious interest in furthering my education (have an MSN), and love the idea of the DNP with its clinical based focus. I orginally wanted to do the DNP for its potential future in teaching,...

  21. How did you know your were ready for aanp fnp exam

    Aussierules1985 replied to txfnp12's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As patti above said, the online aafp tests are usually the way to go, they're accurate (especially if you use the AANP one since they give the test), and reasonably priced. If you can pass those...

  22. Do you like your long commute?

    Aussierules1985 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    So when I first started my clinic job, I had to drive to a very tiny town an hour away once a week plus three times a week switching sites at lunch for a 40 minute drive. After nearly wrecking at...

  23. What can I do to better my chances of being accepted

    Aussierules1985 replied to Bekah84's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Do what you can. Volunteering is great.. But realistically unless your applying to Duke, Penn, NYU or Vandy.. you can get in a NON-direct MSN from non-nursing (as in get a BSN). Just do your best on...

  24. What are my options? Family Nurse Practitioner vs. Acute Care Nurse Practitioner?

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

    Oh.. and eventually you can find a job that really does avoid that.. its the same with OB-GYN. Most guys don't want it. So i avoid doing it... ps if im not mistaken on physicals; blue cross...

  25. What are my options? Family Nurse Practitioner vs. Acute Care Nurse Practitioner?

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

    Being a younger guy that doesn't want to touch peds with a ten foot pole; its okay... A) you'll learn the basics B) i think it may be easier to find jobs b/c of that exact same reason you dont want to...
