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. Agree with the discussing pay etc. I do too.

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 fully plan to in another year(only 2 total since gra...

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 you... Good luck though!!

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 to study, and had trouble... but I figured it out. ...

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 a big plus!

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

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 didn't pay my co-worker PA when he was promised to star...

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

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 there. May want to look into those. IMO. (I know y...

Networking is the most important thing.

Good luck! PS yeah it happens way too much!

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. They never offer great pay that early IMO... but af...

I love y'alls situation. I would never worry about the money IMO. My wife's a resident in surgery, in this country unless your/your significant others family is extremely wealthy you are going to med schools usually on loans. Do what you want, now, b...

Just be careful megan, your job is up to you to convince these people you're worth it... seventy is very very reasonable out of school though.

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 feel like anything would be better, then again so...

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 along there... i'd stick it out! Long as you can tole...

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 was IMO is a couple discussions and a paper or two....

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 personally went to this school because it gave me the atte...

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 to look into that!

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 move, but I find the family NP seems easier to sel...

I love your information guys, I feel like coming out of school, we have no idea what the norm is.. especially if you're moving.

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 it!

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 historically to Martin Luther's nailing 95 thesis ...

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, no biggie. No ones perfect.

Pretty new guy here, my biggest negatives were the cultish like nursing experiences where Nursing is hallowed... I am proud to be a nurse (Murse) .. but beyond the nightingale pledge, we all can think of better things to learn. Pharm, Fluid and Elect...
