  1. PRN during FNP School?

    ^my school also requires this. If you can find somewhere to get insurance at an affordable price, then I think working PRN would be great, as long as you're confident you'll at least get the hours you...
  2. Personal Statement

    I would think just have to be double-spaced and maybe a professional style/size font...you shouldn't need a title page or a reference(unless I guess, you were for some reason citing something?). Mine...
  3. NICU vs. Peds Med-Surg/Step-down

    I work in a level 3 that performs ECMO and am on our ECMO team...you're right. It's great experience. However, if you really see yourself wanting to go to PICU, go with the peds med surg/stepdown. As...
  4. Advice Needed: School/Finances

    Keep renting...when you graduate, you may even be able to afford a nicer house than you would be able to now. That's my plan! Even that set aside, if you have the means to go part-time at work right...
  5. To NP or not to NP

    My biggest question wouldn't be based off salary or age, but rather, do you want that ROLE and the job description of an NP? If you do, then I would go for
  6. NP school reputation

    This is scary
  7. Why is it okay for Doctors to yell at Nurses?

    It's not okay! One of the things that bothers me about nurses is that they will accept treatment like that. Not at my facility...it is both, accepted and encouraged, to write physicians up when that...
  8. Getting a C in Anatomy :(

    Honestly, your thread screams immaturity in multiple places. I know you're upset. However, telling someone you hope they die because you don't like what they tell you, automatically makes me think you...
  9. Should I make a stink about this?

    Welcome to nursing
  10. NP school reputation

    And it may even be the STUDENTS themselves that cause this, not the school. I have two friends who are attending that school that are very serious, hardworking, great nurses and students...but they...
  11. Working for two hospitals

    I know a lot of nurses who work at two different hospitals! And they're not always the same departments. One of my friends works with me in the NICU and works at another hospital in the ER. She was...
  12. Ready to Go Back to school: NEED HELP!!

    University of South Carolina will accept students from Louisiana. However...1)there are campus visits. Not sure if this is something you're willing/able to afford to do, but you must come for an...
  13. Littmann stethoscopes

    Unfortunately, I am required to get a specific model for school...but I will check Amazon! Maybe they'll even have a good deal around Black

    Thanks!
  15. Direct Route from BSN to FNP?

    I think the vast majority would recommend you work as an RN before entering school, but yes, there are countless online NP programs that take brand new grads with no experience. Many have very lax...
  16. FNP vs. AC-AGNP

    OP, I am going to an online program through a well-respected University. My lectures are online...which works for me as far as flexibility goes, but I will also have sim lab days once I start clinical...
  17. NP school reputation

    I haven't graduated, but I feel like in my area, certain schools are favored. I don't have a lot of solid evidence to back this on...only the observed fact that my friends who graduated from my school...
  18. Truth about UAB NP-FNP program

    Your post describes what I expect from any reputable NP program...and what I searched for when looking for mine. (Except I do have
  19. Turning down a preceptor

    I found my first preceptor! 🙌🏻 I have to turn down another, whose office administrator I've been in close contact with. The reason I hadn't told them no from the get go was that both...
  20. Turning down a preceptor

    You ended up securing one though, right? I'm glad you
  21. Turning down a preceptor

    Yes, in my...and many, NP program, doctors precept NP students. We can be precepted by an MD, NP, or sometimes a PA, if approved. I don't really see why there would be confusion about this. If it were...
  22. Does this sound feasible?

    No, we understand. Or at least I do, and I think from the others' posts, they do too. What we're saying is, why GET a bachelor's in a completely unrelated field and then continue on in nursing? It's a...
  23. New job and I am happy = WIN!

    Awesome!
  24. Turning down a preceptor

    I got my 3rd yes for Spring today! I sure hope I am able to find someone this easily in semesters to come
  25. Does this sound feasible?

    I think you should make a decision now. If you do BAS, LPN-BSN, then an MSN, that is way too many stepping stones...as well as a lot of time and money. Make a decision now and go from
