  1. Out of state NP job applications

    ArmaniX replied to iowaNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    I applied to all my jobs out of state without obtaining a license in those states (no purpose if I don’t get a job offer, move dependent on job). I feel like most applications I filled out asked...

  2. They locked up all the masks in security ?

  3. Telling your employer the BON places you on probation

    ArmaniX replied to C25D's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hope things work out for you. But I am curious, and not to judge/be mean, but how did you have such a serious lapse in judgement? Not sure of your experience, but how did you imagine that what you...

  4. I just got hired in a plastic surgery clinic. Are these red flags?

    ArmaniX replied to Puppylover0213's topic in General Nursing

  5. New NP grad at 50 years old. Is the age an obstacle to be hired?

    ArmaniX replied to NN2BVE's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    True. It seems many individuals go the route of “easy” and some random online program with limited admission criteria. I paid for my graduate program out of pocket without incurring any debt, so...

    ArmaniX replied to NN2BVE's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not an expert but I’m sure you’ve considered the benefits v cost of school ratio. How does this impact your planned retirement? I personally do not feel your age would hinder obtaining a job.....

  7. Working and Clinicals

    ArmaniX replied to Toast&Butters's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You’ll make things work when you need to, similar to others statements, it varies. I maintained a full-time job, three 12-hr shifts and clinical/school. There were weeks where I legitimately did...

  8. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

    ArmaniX replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  11. Promising Job Prospect

    ArmaniX replied to Mr. Southern NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  13. Putting in orders without an order.

    ArmaniX replied to Kastiara's topic in General Nursing

    It is certainly not good practice as you can guarantee, as previously mentioned, if something goes south they will not back you. When I was working in the ICU as an RN years ago I had a fellow tell...

    ArmaniX replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    You need to quit with the pity party and stop placing blame on external problems (Cali’s fault, you have no friends/family). Continue that path and you’ll get no where in life. If you want to...

    ArmaniX replied to amalay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  20. Disclosing pregnancy during interview

    ArmaniX replied to gshear's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ArmaniX replied to AmyB_NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
