ArmaniX MSN, APRN

Which is definitely livable. I'm going to counter and see.

My hospital simply does not pay well. Low 90s (florida). This job offer is one of the main hospitals in Baltimore. Seems doable as far as living (single individual, dogs). I'm going to attempt to counter but also feel once I gain experience I'll ha...

I agree. Job prospects are slim and I feel like the waiting game is not working in my favor.

New offer. Maryland. Rotating shifts in ICU. Salary $100,000 Increase by 5% after 6 month period. Shift differential between 9-20% $2250 CME with 1 week not taken from PTO. Full benefits. 6 month orientation. Relocation assistance.

Perhaps it was the format of my program but the entire cohort was experienced ICU nurses and one ED nurse. The content was highly focused on critical care and without the ICU background would be extremely difficult for someone to stay ahead and grasp...

My application for the NP portion (already had my RN for the state) was submitted June 15, 2018. Just last week I got a letter stating I was missing a form. Come to find out that my university only submitted one of two forms I sent them previously. S...

Waiting for additional offers is a drag. Haha.

Question. I've done some research and read previous posts but remain slightly unsure about the process involved with the following. I currently work and hold a multistate license in Florida, RN and have my APRN license in the state. I am potentially...

Quick question... anyone ever lose a job offer by trying to negotiate? Or does HR simply refuse to budge on the offer leaving the applicant the choice to take it or walk?

Thank you for the helpful advice and Baltimore tip. I'm sure I'll be needing it for my next offer.

This is all very helpful. I appreciate your feedback. I was definitely in unfamiliar water. Next time. Thank you!

After the initial offer I noticed such things as malpractice insurance and CME were not mentioned in the phone conversation or in the offer; so I asked about - malpractice, CME, relocation assistance (90 miles away from my home), shift differential (...

It was hard to say no but I feel it is important to be firm. I have three other locations where I am in the interview process so I will (hopefully) have upcoming options and can only hope that I wasn't too picky as a new grad.

Thank you for the responses. The offer of employment is via the hospital and not a select group. I would not be the first NP. I have other interviews with potential offers. This current offer does not include malpractice insurance (stated I would be ...

Stepdown.

Have you looked at any of the requirements for admission into these programs you're interested in applying to? It should be listed there which would answer your question.

Perhaps the added years of nursing experience will benefit your future career as an NP. If you don't feel this to be true, as it's a matter of opinion, then go to another school.

Anyone recently take the agacnp certification exam? Just looking for some helpful (current) tips. I am reviewing Barkley and sit for the exam soon.

Just update whoever is following. Passed the ANCC Adult Gero Acute Care exam today. Barkley/Liek were my resources. I did attend the live review with barkley and utilized Liek only for additional test questions. DRTs prior to taking the exam were &g...

Take the free examedge questions it gives you, 10 or 25 I think to gauge how you like it. I did the practice free exam for AGACNP with examedge and thought the questions were very elementary / poorly written and would not be in any way reflective of ...

Falls happen. My first fall happened 3 years into my career.. in the ICU. The patient also happened to be well over 400lbs. There were no injuries, thankfully. All you can do is look back and learn.

Congratulations, with the DRTs what percentages were you getting?

You go to the website of the hospital you're interested in applying for... go to their career section and apply directly. There is no reason to go to indeed.com when you can go to the hospitals website and apply.

Do you not feel that those same demanding patients will be present and now you, as the provider, are responsible? Push from administration to discharge patients. Satisfaction scores. Pain seeking patients demanding medications. RNs paging you for co...

Hey new to the traveling world and a bit confused with the offers and what exactly I am getting myself into.. I am not too concerned (yet) with if the offer is "good" or not, but more so what my pay is and where it is coming from. I've attempted seve...
