  1. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    Mission replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I believe Columbia, UCSF, Yale and NYU all allow you to go straight through without working. I'm sure there are other

  2. Spanish for L&D nurses

    Mission replied to livn4him11's topic in Ob/Gyn

    For those of you who are a bit more open-minded... I don't know if it is being offered this year, but I think this would be a great program:

  3. What are we learning?!

    Mission posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is mostly a rant! I just finished an accelerated BSN program and am starting my FNP. So I'm starting orientation this week for my first official nursing job (yay!), I'm going to be doing...

  4. Why are nurses such back-stabbers?

    Mission replied to RNforLongTime's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I disagree...I worked in IT for years and there was backstabbing and cattiness nearly every where I went and I was always the only woman in the department. I think it has to do with a bad work...

  5. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    Mission replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Not all programs lock you into a specialty once you are accepted, at least, my school didn't. I really think whether or not you need experience as an RN depends on the individual. I know personally,...

  6. New Grad: 2 FT Jobs?

    Mission replied to Pachinko's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm a new grad with a part-time and a full-time job. My part-time job is at a SNF and pays better than any of my friends hospital jobs. You can also look into home health nursing or a visiting...

  7. What are we learning?!

    Mission replied to Mission's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for the support. Yesterday was my first day of orientation, even though I was overwhelemed by the amount of paperwork (no computer systems) and the number of CNAs I'll have to supervise, the...

  8. Why The Need To Prove Immunity To MMR?

    Mission replied to indigo girl's topic in Infectious Disease

    I got whooping cough in college even though I received the vaccine as a child. I wish I had titers done before...worse couple of weeks

  9. Need advice - CUNY screwing me over

    Mission replied to cozzy66's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I didn't finish my pre-reqs till after I was accepted into Columbia (had to take A&PII in the spring). As long as you pass all of them and get the grades into student services by July you are...

  10. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    Mission replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    HI personally wouldn't go into any clinical area if I was worried about getting sued. I know plenty of excellent physicians/nps/nurses/pas that have been sued simply because lawyers put all these...

  11. Corporate/Business world Nursing?

    Mission replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for an insurance company (before I went to nursing school) in the Quality Improvement department. The nurses there were responsible for auditing doctors medical records to insure they were...

  12. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    Mission replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm a student at Columbia and I know in the past the Acute care program had 100% job placement rate after graduation and those people were expected to go straight from the BSN through the MSN program...

  13. The Largest Student Loan Actually PAID OFF!

    Mission replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in General Nursing

    I owe $90K, I know...it's even scarier when you see it on an itemized bill with interest

  14. The Largest Student Loan Actually PAID OFF!

    Mission replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is also a second career for me, I owe $40k from my first BA and MS and now $50k for my BSN. Not to mention credit card debt, car loans, etc! And I have an upcoming wedding to help pay for....

  15. Most RN's first borns?

    Mission replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    I'm the youngest of three. My oldest brother died before I was born so my parents were very overprotective and coddling of my other brother and I. We definately were never caretakers, in fact, my mom...

  16. Help! Need to make a decision soon.

    Mission replied to hellkitty71's topic in New York Nursing

    Private hospitals in Manhattan pay more than borough hospitals. The salary range you quoted is definately for new grads, it sounds like you have some experience so you'll probably make more. Also,...

  17. AIDS Certified Registered Nurse

    Mission replied to KMS4's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    There are no courses required to sit for the exam. My school (Columbia) has an HIV/AIDs subspecialty, I'm not sure about schools in Mass but you could try crine.org, they may have more information...

  18. Out of State and New Grad

    Mission replied to pantalons's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't think I could survive long in NYC if I was only making $22/hr. NYU's program is supposed to be good but they tend to hire their own graduates. You could try Montefiore, I know the head of...

  19. Anyone left good paying job for nursing?

    Mission replied to LovesGreyhounds's topic in General Nursing

    I left a horrible job (ever see office space, TPS reports, that was me) that paid disgustingly well. By the time I was 26 I made more money then my parents did combined, and they both worked...

  20. Share Your Experience in Accelerated BSN program

    Mission replied to coopsc1's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I just finished an accelerated program and worked at the same time. My advice would be don't do it! It definately effected my grades and my studying. You'll have enough reason not to feel confident...

  21. Just starting out

    Mission replied to curlysue82's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm not really familiar with programs in NJ but maybe you can ask in the NJ discussion

  22. working your way through NP school

    Mission replied to np_wannabe's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My schools FNP program requires that you work because the director believes it's important that we continue to have clinical experience. Are you already in an NP

  23. Let's introduce ourselves...

    Mission replied to pedi-RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi all, I graduated from a second-degree BSN program this past May. I'm working as a research nurse (free tuition for my MSN) but I'm also hoping to get a part-time clinical job.

  24. Part-time/ PRN work for new RN???

    Mission replied to lylla7's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was in a similar situation. I work full-time at the nursing school where I'm studying for my FNP which gives me free tuition but no clinical experience. Since I'm not so worried about the pay, I've...

  25. Why does NCLEX make you feel like a failure then lets you know you passed?

    Mission replied to Nurselee774's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am a horrible test taker so I had a lot of anxiety going into the exam. It took me over two hours to get through the first 75 questions because I was so worried about reading the questions...
