   That is correct. I got recruited for a job working Trauma and then ended up doing something completely different. I ended up finding out the place was very dysfunctional. It is a small system and...

   There are only two facilities here. I am reluctant to drop names and I don't think it really matters to be honest. One is the same as the

   Beware of this place. This place does not have it's act together and has no idea how to use midlevels and it shows badly in how they treat us. Terrible place. Stick to the bigger

5. What is np school like

   bloviate replied to Curious88's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   It's pretty busy with the papers. I haven't studied as much as I did in my undergrad. The biggest thing I noticed is the schedule is brutal starting out and then it seems to let up in the last few...

6. EVERYONE is going for NP these days

   bloviate replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I agree. Move to where the jobs are. I am in the Southeast right now and the area is saturated or the pay is poor. That is not the case in other places in the country. I might beat you by a few...

    LOL. I knew the females on this thread were going to be in denial. Of course, I was right. This issue is real. The guy that wrote the paper was spot on. I said it in the 1990s when I was in school. I...

12. frustrated with "online" NP schools

    bloviate replied to Betty004's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think this whole thread was a trolling attempt to be honest. At least that's what I thought when I read it. If not, it's just a lame topic. I want to be able to sit for boards when I am done and...

14. working during clinicals

    bloviate replied to Rachel D's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
