  1. Psych NP - USA, UND, EKU ?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to marigoldey's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I know you asked for students who are attending these programs, but I feel like if I don't echo what mtsteelhorse said about USA, it means I'm guilty. I applied there and the entire...

  2. Who is working while completing NP?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to roman1006's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I work full-time. I just completed my first semester...am in a healthy relationship, was able to maintain family and friend time, and made As in all of my classes. I start clinicals next semester and...

  3. College books are the biggest scams ever

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. Research Internship

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to hrk13's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Is there a lead over the program you could talk to about the actual material? I think from what you said it would be interesting, and beneficial, even if not driven from a "nursing standpoint". If...

  5. Advanced patho/stats

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Stats was stats. I don't really know much else to say about it lol. I very much did not match well with my professor's teaching style, but I got a tutor and made an A in the class. Patho was more in...

  6. FNP vs ACNP? Please help

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Smccar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Do you have any legitimate stats on this, other than just your own hospital/area? I'm just wondering because I know what it's like in my area(which, in my state, is similar to what Dranger said...even...

  7. NICU vs. Peds Med-Surg/Step-down

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to nurse-samie's topic in Pediatric

    Yes. I do have a PRN pediatric home health job and that's okay, but idk if I could do inpatient peds. I haven't before, and used to think that's what I wanted, but now even just when I go to...

  8. FNP vs. AC-AGNP

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Rjoshi19's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I knew I wanted to stay within my hospital's organization, so I contacted the student director and asked for a list of potential preceptors. I then sent emails to those who fit what I needed for next...

  9. Do differentials make up for working 36 hrs vs 40 hrs per week?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Philly85's topic in General Nursing

    At my job, day shift no longer gets any differential for hours. The night diff doesn't start until after 7PM. Another thing to consider too, is that many 8 hour shift jobs are typically outpatient...

  10. Nursing to med school experiences?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to floatingribs's topic in General Students

    The thing to consider is once you get further in to nursing school. When you start your clinical courses, you're going to be completely robbed of free time. Saying it's hard to keep up with that plus...

  11. Which Littmann stethoscope is best?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to abbynormal43's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have a classic, but will be buying a cardiology III per my NP program's requirements

  12. Dilemma

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

    I'm not a nurse in the ER or urgent care, or a practitioner yet, but as far as skills go, your skills in the urgent care would be different in the provider role vs the bedside nurse role. I feel like...

  13. OR to NICU?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to ej1104's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I went from an adult telemetry floor to NICU. Definitely can be done, and I have loved it ever

  14. Sodium Bicarb

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Katie_nicuRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    What he said. We give bicarb VERY frequently, but depending on cause, may give an LR(usually) or NS bolus

  15. University of Texas or Univ of Phoenix?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to arcelyn0312's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did UTA for RN-BSN. Loved the program. I would definitely choose them over

  16. ACNP Vs. FNP

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to nursemom1217's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In addition to what Rocknurse said, I also know ACNPs who do have the "typical outpatient" hours. Some DO work outpatient in specialty offices like cardiology, endocrinology, etc., or they work with...

  17. Nursing Experience for MSN-NP

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to RomilPatel's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It depends on the person. I haven't graduated yet, so I can't say for sure how well my RN experience helped, but right now, I feel certain I will say that I appreciated it. The roles are very...

  18. What thrills you/what terrifies you?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Philly85's topic in General Nursing

    Thrilling and terrifying at the same time:

  19. NP Student

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Mommy2BeorNot2Be's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Acute

  20. NP Student

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Mommy2BeorNot2Be's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I might have misled with my response, but I haven't graduated yet! I was just saying that for me, I will not be accepting an NP job for RN pay. Any NP I have spoken to in person about this wouldn't...

  21. NP Student

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Mommy2BeorNot2Be's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would never accept the same pay as an NP as a bedside RN. There is too much responsibility compared to the RN role. If the monetary benefit isn't there, especially since you'll be tacking on a lot...

  22. Littmann stethoscopes

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to littlepeopleRNICU's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks!

  23. Littmann stethoscopes

    littlepeopleRNICU posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    What websites have you found the best deals on genuine Littmann stethoscopes? I need a new one.

  24. Please Help with HUGE Decision

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

    What made you apply for each in the first place? I'm sure you chose to also apply to PA school for a reason, otherwise you would've only applied for multiple NP programs. What was your original...

  25. NP Programs on a Quarter System

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to tlstackho's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You will find several programs that offer the quarterly system, but I think the bigger challenge will be clinical time. A lot of programs don't allow clinicals to be done on weekend hours. If you work...
