  1. Anyone NOT work as a bedside RN while in school?

    2015 replied to AlphaPig's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Tell me about it!!! I had six patients one of whom I had to do primary care on during my last shift. I sometimes have seven. I had toyed with the idea of attending online classes (live lectures)...

  4. Raise your hand if you worked and went to NP school full time?

    2015 replied to TheDude77's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Riburn....when do you study? How many hours a week do you spend studying? I guess it's doable for you since you don't have kids. I consider kids another fulltime job. I will be working parttime during...

  5. Unrealistic nursing students

    2015 replied to dnsonthego's topic in General Nursing

    I also don't see the problem with second career nurses wanting to have a position in leadership. They are obviously aiming high and there is nothing wrong with that considering they have spent their...

  6. Help choosing between two jobs!

    2015 replied to gigiaprn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    gigiaprn, I have worked in nursing homes and I think 11.6 patients a day is doable. You will also have time to spend with family. Most doctors I knew back then had their own practice, on top of...

  7. University of Phoenix FNP Program

    2015 replied to Emerlindo's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did a class with University of Phoenix, I have to say it left a lot to be desired. FNP may be different though. I get shivers to imagine they conduct their FNP classes the way they did the class I...

  9. 8 months as a nurse and I am failing miserably

    2015 replied to RN119's topic in First Year After Licensure

    RN119, In my opinion, a hgb of that level should be called in by the lab to you the nurse as a critical lab value so that you can be able to report it immediately to the doc. At least that's what...

    2015 replied to 2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    BluedevilDNP, Am old school too. I haven't been in school on a serious note for almost 10years. Do I need a special stethoscope or my regular low end will do? I have a laptop now I have to work on...

  21. Is a peer reference enough?

    2015 replied to bebbercorn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree. The onus is on you to make your case strong. I was admitted to a graduate program once (did not end up going coz i moved states) without a professor rec. I used a mentor who was a doctor and...

  22. Is a peer reference enough?

    2015 replied to bebbercorn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Normally you need a supervisor/manager, professor (academic), and a FNP. However there are situations whereby you can't get those people. If that's the case, get as many references as you can and...

    2015 replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would have preferred to apply to Simmons even before GU gets back to me, but I have no way of obtaining hand signed recommendation letters because my recommenders are far away. So I have to rely on...
