The way I understand it from OSHA is even if you have PPE's they don't know the long term effects of spending that much time with antineoplastic drugs.

I have a similar question except I want one that is NOT online. Which of these programs are best? Which has highest pass rates or a better reputation? If you know of other schools that do not require online courses for their PNP-AC program please let...

Does anyone know the new grad pay for UPMC? How does that compare to other Pennsylvania hospitals?

I have a question for my aunt. She is an LPN and it's been over 10 years since her prerequisites. Are there any schools that won't make her retake them since she is a practicing LPN? Or are there any schools that require very few?

Is English your second language? What part of WA are you moving to? It's pretty hard to get a new grad job in Western Washington so I think you should apply to all of them and count yourself lucky if you get a job. Do you have a BSN?

Unless it charged you $200 you actually did not do the pearsonvue trick right. You didn't get the good pop up because you didn't go far enough. Pearsonvue trick has been 100% fail proof if you do it after 24 hours and you go all the way to the confir...

I know a lot of children's hospitals will train nurses who've worked with adults to become pediatric nurses. It's "new to speciality" programs. You could try that?

It's 2015! I was wondering how those who are working keep track of their schedules? During school I had an Erin Condren but that's too much calendar for me. What are your favorite planners and organizers? Do you use a monthly one? Or your phone? I'...

A lot of Seattle area hospitals have new grad residency programs. If you do well in school and are involved you shouldn't have a problem getting a job. You have to be a competitive applicant, but you can definitely do it. Seattle is a great area!

Yes you can have a life. You need to have balance or you will go crazy. It's not as much free time as you had before but if you schedule your time well it doesn't have to be consumed by school. Also, study SMART not hard. Study the material and then ...

I say get it over with in one fell swoop. It's easier to find a new grad job with a BSN. Is your husband working full time? If you have a lot of support for your baby I think you should go with ABSN. I did an ABSN program and nursing school sucks eit...

Yes a lot of programs have an ACPNP program. UPenn even has one specifically for critical care.

I'm thinking I want to do acute care PNP. You can work in patient in PICU, peds ED, any of the peds floors AND you can also work in outpatient speciality clinics. I think that gives you more flexibility/opportunity than PNP. But primary care PNPs do ...

Good idea! Every state should have a thread like this. I won't be working in TX though so I won't fill it out. What about your workplace, OP? You should answer too!

I am trying to decide if I want to do an acute care PNP program or primary care PNP program. There are a lot of things going into my decision besides money but I thought I would gather information about the money part too. Any insights between pay in...

Actually Lurie Children's in Chicago encourages you to apply before licensed!

I asked a similar question recently: https://allnurses.com/pennsylvania-nursing/pa-new-grad-965264.html In that thread someone said outside of Philly they made $24/hr. But she said in Philly it's closer to $30/hr I don't know about the community sett...

I got an interview offer two days ago but I don't want to say which unit because I think I am going to take the job and I don't want to be identifiable.

As everyone said, you should have started applying for jobs already. Most of the new grad residency applications that are opening soon will be for jobs starting in the summer at the earliest. Most new grad programs accept new grads who aren't graduat...

Do you not have a car? Can you not move closer to the hospital? If you like NICU as much as you say then it should be a no-brainer. But if you're more flexible the peds one sounds nice.

She's not very tech-savy! Yeah it would be really nice to find a school that doesn't make her retake them. Are community colleges more likely to?

Oh okay thank you. Is that similar for other hospitals in the state?

Well I applied to a new grad job at the Children's Hospital at UPMC (Children's of Pittsburgh) and at the bottom it said [TABLE=class: PSPAGECONTAINER, width: 681] [TR] [TD=colspan: 2][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=colspan: 5]salary range[/TD] [TD=colspan: 3]2...

I just recently graduated and want to become a PNP. I haven't decided yet if I want to do primary care or acute care. I am obviously going to work for a couple of years before I start but I wanted to know more about what NP school is like. Is it as h...

The timeline on the website says we should hear starting December 19th about interviews. I am also out of state and have not heard anything yet.
