  1. Looking for an acute care inpatient preceptor??

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to DParkinsonRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Have you contacted a student coordinator at any hospitals you'd like to precept at? A lot of times they can provide you with lists of preceptors to

  2. Full Time Work, Part Time School?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to RG-RN2014's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm doing school and work both full-time currently. That has included clinical hours. I would say full-time work and part-time school should also be doable. If you aren't a planning person, become one...

  3. CRNA vs FNP-ER

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Ivytherapy's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Your post sounds like your personal interests lie more in CRNA...do you feel like you would like that role better? They are two opposites. If that's the case, just retake chem. It won't be terribly...

  4. Do any of you think about going to med school?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to RN to be soon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My plan my entire life was to go to med school. It changed my senior year of high school. I'm going to NP school now, but if I had a do-over, I would've stuck with my original plan. I opted for NP...

  5. Paying for clinical placements?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to travelRN555's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Glad you found a place, and for

  6. Paying for clinical placements?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to travelRN555's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I didn't have to pay for the clinical I just finished, and I had 3 people offer to precept me...none of them asking for payment. My next preceptor has not asked either. I have another potential...

  7. Aspiring NP but... with a bad knee / hip / back? Am I dreaming?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to MomAndSonInMD's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You are right that PA school follows a different route to ultimately have similar roles in the end. One thing you might want to consider though, is that they are extremely competitive to get into. I...

  8. Why preceptors don't precept

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to sauce's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have had this in multiple classes. It may be in the form of discussion board or case studies, but it had the same concept. Even my pharm class this semester brought in diagnosing based off symptoms...

  9. Aspiring NP but... with a bad knee / hip / back? Am I dreaming?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to MomAndSonInMD's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What roser said. Your geneticist was able because she was never required to do what nurses will in school, from a physical aspect. Even as a physically healthy, 22 year-old, my body HURT after many...

  10. Accepted to FNP program...now what?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to britpanda's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not sure if this will be required in your program already or not, but we had to get Tarascon's Pharmacopeia. It has been really helpful and if it's not already required, I would get it. Also, the...

  11. Things you wish you knew about NP school?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to simplicityscape2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    For me, I can't really think of any big cons on my list for my school. I would have said that they don't find you clinical placement automatically, but I hadn't thought of it like the previous poster...

  12. Rejected!!!

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to russianbear's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm really sorry you didn't get in to that one if the other doesn't work out, you will get in somewhere. If this is what you want, don't give

  13. Future PNP student

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to MNrnforHim's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    12 hour shifts have really benefited me with clinical. There's no way I could swing it with 8 hour shifts. I guess if your school allows you to do night or weekend clinicals, it's different...but mine...

  14. Future PNP student

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to MNrnforHim's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Most people I know who are full-time in their programs are weekend only. I am full-time(working and program), but I don't work ALL weekends. I work a good bit though...my unit requires every other...

  15. Want to be an NP but I need some advice

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to MadiCherie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you know you want to be a nurse practitioner, go the ADN route first. I did it that way and have no regrets...I wanted to get in the working field and got my ADN, worked through my BSN, and then an...

  16. Do I want to become a FNP?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to dmmlayton's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Not FNP, I'm in ACNP school and have been a bedside RN for over 6 years. I think shadowing(and/or interviewing some NPs) a few days in a variety of settings would be a great idea, like the others...

  17. Calling all student NPs...how are you doing?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Rocknurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm finishing my second semester. It was my first clinical semester, and I have felt a little overwhelmed. But what's funny, is my friend and I were talking last night, and she asked how school was. I...

  18. Do I want to become a FNP?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to dmmlayton's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Do you want the role of a provider? Do you want to be managing patients and focusing on diagnosing and treating? That's a whole different level of stress. Your reasons you listed MAY apply to some NP...

  19. DNP vs FNP

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to BedsideBenevolence's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm in an MSN program. I'm not sure whether I will return. In my area, there are a ton of NPs...most have Masters. The ones I know who went back for a DNP say it didn't change their role or pay at...

  20. FNP to Oncology NP

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to hustyv31's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't work oncology, but FNPs can work inpatient too. A lot of it depends on your area. Are there any NPs in your area that work in the type of setting she wants to that she can talk

  21. Preceptor gifts

    littlepeopleRNICU posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I will be finishing my first clinical next month and would like to give my preceptor a gift. I'm planning on sending the whole practice an edible arrangement, but want to give him something...

  22. Does your NP program conduct site visits?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Shannaikook's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In orientation, the associate dean said these would happen, but I'm over halfway through my clinical semester and it hasn't yet. I'm not sure if that's because I have to go to campus and do all this...

  23. HELP CHOOSING JOB OFFERS! Cardiology vs Endocrine

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Dumplins's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If your interest is really the same for both specialities, I feel like the first option offers the better lifestyle and

  24. Preceptor gifts

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to littlepeopleRNICU's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Those are good suggestions! I think I might also try to talk with his MA next week(or soon) in private if I can. They have known each other for a really long time and are very tight knit. Maybe she...

  25. Adult Primary NP vs. Adult Acute Care NP program?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to sy000316's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would choose acute care, if those were your
