  1. SCRN Experience

    MurseJJ posted a topic in Neurological

    Recently I passed the ABNN Stroke Certified Registered Nurse (SCRN) exam. When I was preparing, I searched for info on the exam, how others prepared, etc., but didn't find too much out there. So...

  2. Advice On Becoming an Excellent Neuro Nurse

    MurseJJ replied to AdventureOrNothing's topic in Neurological

    I would definitely recommend joining the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses. They have an annual conference (next one is in March 2019 in Denver, CO), and they also have an annual stroke...

  3. CNS or NP

    MurseJJ replied to PICCRN79's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Even if you do CNS you could always apply for positions that are related to the CNS competencies but may not specifically be titled CNS (i.e. quality and safety specialist, professional development,...

    MurseJJ replied to LittleRed84's topic in General Nursing

    Typically an assistant nurse manager position is something you could look into first. Perhaps look into

  5. New York hospitals with the best schedule for nurses?

    MurseJJ replied to NYMichaelRN's topic in General Nursing

    I work at NYP/Columbia. Yes, we do work 13 shifts (all 12 hour shifts), however I will say that the salary is about $20K more than Stony Brook (I was hired at Stony just before I got hired at NYP a...

  7. Beyond Bedside? Advanced Practice? Really?

    MurseJJ replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    It's interesting, I work with a nurse that has around 8 years experience, all on our unit, has two masters, two certifications, presents at conferences, chairs a hospital committee, clinical ladder,...

    Agreed. Our inpatient neurology NPs do 3

  11. Omg I'm so broke!!!

    MurseJJ replied to christina.adams2889's topic in New York Nursing

    That sounds hard. You could basically double your salary as a new grad, let alone as an experienced RN, at various hospitals in the city (Mt Sinai, NYU, NYP, etc), even LI (St. Francis,

  12. Brick & Mortar NP Programs- are they no longer a thing?

    MurseJJ replied to EKTheRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I prefer "advanced practice provider" or "APP". There are many in-person NP programs around the country. Here in NYC we have Columbia, NYU, Pace, LIU Brooklyn, and CUNY Hunter, in addition to a...

  13. NVRN vs CNRN

    MurseJJ replied to NeuroNurse101's topic in Neurological

    Hey just letting you know, I took the SCRN earlier today and I passed! I'll post a separate thread on what I used and what I thought (when I searched there wasn't too much info on it so hopefully I...

  14. Eating ice cream and getting nervous -- offered Neuro-ICU job, now a psych nurse

    MurseJJ replied to pixierose's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. I also work on a neurosurg stepdown, and we get neurology patients as well. A psych background will definitely not go to waste in neuro, even in the neuro ICU (I actually have a coworker on...

  15. Seeking Advice: Direct Entry Blues

    MurseJJ replied to mk989's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree. While the roles of bedside RN and NP are different (just like the roles of bedside RN and physician are different), there is also some overlap, and I agree that there is a connectedness...

  16. NP + RN - can I do both part time?

    MurseJJ replied to mmak's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A colleague works both as an RN on our neuro step-down and as a neuro NP at a different hospital (at least for

  17. Clinical Rotations for Online CNS Program

    MurseJJ replied to NurseSam84's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Hi I'm from the NYC area. Usage of CNSs in NYC really depends on the location. At my hospital (I work at NYP/Columbia), there aren't too many (maybe 4 or 5 max). Sloan Kettering employees a lot...

  18. Nurse Practitioner vs. Physician Holistic Care

    MurseJJ replied to KC1000's topic in Advanced Practice

    Curious to know your thoughts on this. Recently I've been reading about Britt Hermes, former naturopath turned critic of CAM. This also led me into learning more about functional medicine and...

  19. NY NP

    MurseJJ replied to LookForward's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Perhaps also post this in the New York Nursing forum to get more responses. I'm not an NP (RN at NYP), but I do know that NPs are able to have their own panel of patients in New York. Also, I would...

  20. NVRN vs CNRN

    MurseJJ replied to NeuroNurse101's topic in Neurological

    BTW, a coworker got an email from ABNN saying that starting January 1, the requirement for CNRN will now be 1 year experience (instead of required 2 years), and SCRN will also be 1 year (instead of...

  21. New Grad deciding between two positions.

    MurseJJ replied to missjessicag's topic in Critical Care

    CTICU/HVICU sounds interesting (but I've always had an interest in cardiac and neuro and not really general medical or surgical units, including ICUs). A consideration could be what you plan to do as...

  23. Long Island nursing!!

    MurseJJ replied to angjam's topic in New York Nursing

    It depends on the hospital, with city/state public hospitals typically paying less. I was hired at Stony Brook first, and their salary was 75K with night differential for new grads. I was grateful...

  24. Long Island nursing!!

    MurseJJ replied to angjam's topic in New York Nursing

    The admission process for NCC? When I applied it was based on your GPA in four pre-reqs (English I, A&P I, Psych I, and I believe stats was the last one), as well as a standardized test, the...

  25. Long Island nursing!!

    MurseJJ replied to angjam's topic in New York Nursing

    Nassau Community College is also great. I did some pre-reqs there and was admitted, but ended up going elsewhere. Also, just FYI, if you plan on working in a hospital in the NYC metro area, the vast...
