  1. I negotiated and i still got the job.

    Awesome!
  2. University of South Alabama NP Spring 2015

    I got an acceptance today to the ACNP, for those keeping track with
  3. University of South Alabama Adult NP Fall 2015

    Also got an acceptance email today, for those keeping a look out for the ACNP
  4. Advanced Pathophysiology notes

    I also will be in patho this fall too. I got the already recommended Berkowitz book. It seems like a helpful resource just from the reading I've already
  5. worth it or not, which school

    If the career itself is what you want to do with your nursing career, then yes, it's worth it. If it's an idea you just started toying around with, it's an awful lot of work, time, and money to put...
  6. University of South Alabama Adult NP Fall 2015

    ^same, I also did not receive that email regarding applications. I had to email and call multiple times myself to find out mine was complete and everything had definitely been received on time. I'm...
  7. University of South Alabama Adult NP Fall 2015

    I got the email, as
  8. Become a Nurse without Nursing School

    Just saying...after having experience with bedside nursing, I'm GLAD I had to take all the "bogus" classes. Sure, you learn things along the way, but don't you want to fully know in depth why you're...
  9. Denied for Student Loan

    How old are you? Do you HAVE to have a co-signer? I haven't taken out private loans. All of the student financial aid I've had has come in the form of federal loans, grants, and scholarships. Have you...
  10. Sexy male scrubs

    Congratulations on the weight loss! I don't have suggestions on scrub brands for men, but I agree with others who stated to try on different brands and see which you like best. And I completely get...
  11. Are my concerns.....

    I do agree the advisor at the school should've mentioned other options to her, but I'm sure she knew going into this that she would be taking out loans of some sort from somewhere. Unless, of course,...
  12. Did I not get the job?

    I agree, I would call! Probably HR, or the manager for the unit themselves. And don't let the time period make you think you automatically didn't get the job. Things happen. Maybe something came up...
  13. What is your biggest struggle

    What he said. I have not started my program yet, and once I have and then have graduated, I know more realistic and more difficult struggles will come my way, but for now, it's this. I have worked...
  14. Neonatal Nurse vs Neonatal Nurse Practitioner

    All hands on care is done by the bedside nurse. The practitioners in my NICU have both, 12 hour and 24 hour shifts. During the day, they help round on patients and write orders for/with the...
  15. Many schools require experience, and I have also been job hunting just to see what the market is(even though I haven't started my program yet), and many jobs I've seen require at least a few years of...
  16. ICU Charge nurse Vs. ICU floor nurse to become CRNA

    I would take the bedside position. Bedside patient care is going to be the best experience to help you in CRNA school, unless you routinely take patients on a regular basis as charge. That experience...
  17. ACNP jobs

    Yeah, I have researched high and low regarding it and can't find anything along the same lines as what she's saying that program is. Not that I'm calling her a liar or anything, just haven't seen it,...
  18. States that hire ADNs

    I live in South Carolina, and ADNs are still hired here. Especially around the Columbia area, as one of our local schools is very reputable. Some hospitals are moving toward BSN only, but I don't know...
  19. Where's my planner nerds at?!

  20. ACNP jobs

    Can you link me if you can find it? All I can find is a post-doctorate for psych, and it's 20
  21. ACNP jobs

    Yeah, I know, I am talking about an additional cert after you've obtained an initial. Everywhere I've looked into has been a lot longer than
  22. ACNP jobs

    I have considered possibly doing this as well, if applicable to me. Where did she go for a post-Masters that was only 200 hours and 2 credits? All of the programs I've looked into have been at least...
  23. University of South Carolina Online NP

    For those who haven't seen yet, check your email! We finally have a
  24. NRP certification

    You have a 9 unit test. I'm assuming in a level 3 you would have to complete all 9, but in some, you only have to do 5 of them(I think it's 5). They're asterisked in the book, but be sure to ask....
  25. Goal is NP. ASN>BSN>MSN -or - ASN>MSN???

    My guess would be that maybe people pursuing Master's degrees are looking for those in other areas than many ADN-MSN programs offer. Like nurse practitioner programs. They do exist, but more of the...
