  1. Bsn to nurse practitioner

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to DREAM2RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If your concern is which advanced degree will be easiest, you need to spend some time working a nurse and figure out what it is you want to do. Why do you want to further your

  2. Online RN-BSN Programs?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to pookie1035's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I went to University of Texas at Arlington. I really recommend the program. There were a large number of papers, but I feel like many RN-BSN programs are going to be like this. There were also a lot...

  3. New grad RN and going to school?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Jenniferocious's topic in General Nursing

    I started my RN-BSN program around a year out. Reason being, I wanted to become acclimated to nursing before starting school again. Given the opportunity to do over again, I would choose the same...

  4. The Path to NP

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to med_life_for_me's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Another thing I forgot to mention, and this could be entirely based on area, but I have been looking at jobs just to kinda get a feel, even though I won't graduate until a couple of years. Almost all...

  5. Next step after LPN

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Alexus1028's topic in School, College Programs

    If you know you ultimately want your BSN, I probably would do that. You might end up saving time and money doing it that way, but look around. If you have enough time to commit to rounding out your...

  6. The Path to NP

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to med_life_for_me's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Elkpark pretty much said what I was going to. Not only that, but I feel like nursing experience is good to have prior to being an NP. Let me first clarify that I am not an NP, and I won't start school...

  7. Why so many threads on NP school

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to OBigdog26's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  8. First Intubation!!

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to MallysMama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Ditto on what they said. I work in NICU now, but our NPs intubate all the time, and on my tele floor during a lot of codes, NPs

  9. First Intubation!!

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to MallysMama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Awesome!! Check you

  10. Online FNP programs--feedback anyone!? Please!??

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to ORRN1989's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I will be going to University of South Carolina. The programs are online, but there are requirements to come to campus every so often for orientation and further check-offs. I have friends who have...

  11. Advanced pathophysiology

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Rocknurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There seems to be a lot of us who are starting programs this fall and will be taking some of the same classes the first semester. Maybe we should start a generic group or thread to come back to share...

  12. What job do you do?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Futurenurse98's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Any experience I have had working with NPs, they do what you said the not "nursing care" roles do...do not take vitals, do bedside care, etc. They function more along the lines of/in collaboration...

  13. Hoarseness vs hypocalcemia? Which will kill you first?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to LM NY's topic in General Students

    If the hoorificeness is due to airway obstruction that's serious enough, you'd need to rely on further assessment skills. Given the two options and no other information, I would pick

  14. RN to MD or CRNA

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to SunDevilNurse15's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I second Rocknurse, if it were free of any pay, I would go to medical school. Instead, I am going to NP school because I do have to pay, and because I also want to be in my 20s when I finish. (Like...

  15. clinicals

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    Nobody is trampling on you. Go back and read your thread again. I stopped counting after post 8, but the first 8 responses to you consisted of NOTHING but nurses saying "when I was in nursing school,...

  16. clinicals

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    Have you tried talking to your instructor in private and explaining how you feel? Maybe they would be willing to work with you if you only are aiming to go

  17. clinicals

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    Although you may not be able to do this now, a lot of hospitals, etc. do allow this as a nurse. Many nurses stay in break rooms to get a break from their floor/coworkers while staying close, but I...

  18. clinicals

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    It didn't bother me that we were required to stay on site for lunch. This is school, it's what I

  19. Nurses, how do you view your job?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to 8*P23J's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad I don't feel that I do nursing because it's "just a job". It would've been a miserable 5 years for me if

  20. RN to MD or CRNA

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to SunDevilNurse15's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I haven't done either, so can't speak from personal experience, but...most CRNA programs advise you not to work, and I've heard the same of medical school. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that...

  21. New RN to ER

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to kjcheno's topic in Emergency

    I personally would not feel comfortable working in that setting. I'm not telling you to quit your job, but I honestly wouldn't feel safe being the only nurse in an ER, no matter how small or rural of...

  22. UT - Arlington RN to BSN program

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to imbatz's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I finished the program about 2 years ago. I went into it with a little over a year of nursing experience. I worked overtime most weeks, and still did really well in the program. About the program...

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to EMG794's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    They use the GPA nursingCAS calculates out. It takes all courses into

  24. Passed ANCC tonight!

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

    Congratulations!

  25. Too old to do NP program?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to med_life_for_me's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you know you want to go to NP school, I would just go ahead and get your BSN now. With prices now, there are a lot of schools that are cheaper to get a BSN outright versus getting an ADN first....
