1. Happy to be in Nursing education

   studentnurserachel posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

   Just finished orientation week at the University that hired me to start this fall and am leaving it feeling utterly grateful to be a nurse, not for the first time. I am in a tenure-track 9 month...

2. Job market in Fayetteville, NC

   studentnurserachel replied to Mangofruit's topic in North Carolina Nursing

   I started my career at the Valley and was surprised to see them at a national conference this month recruiting nurses. They are hiring in all areas and even still actively hire new grads, so you...

3. Soaking up all advice before starting Direct Entry MSN

   studentnurserachel replied to IrishCandy's topic in Advanced Practice

   I am an RN who had 1 yr of ICU and 5 yrs L&D experience which has been of minimal value as a FNP in primary care, I think inpatient experience matters more as ACNP or if you choose to work in...

4. Questions for a FNP

   studentnurserachel replied to NinaAnder1225's topic in Advanced Practice

   Honestly? PA, especially if you think you might want to do ER. My husband is a PA, I'm a FNP, my training was very good for primary care, I would be a fish out of water in the ER. I do like the more...

5. TSH range....?

   studentnurserachel replied to TennesseeNP123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Are you working in FP or endocrinology? My experience with this is that if someone is symptomatic, or seems to be, endo will medicate at TSH levels that are high normal on lab range, where FP...

6. NFLP with DNP anyone?

   studentnurserachel posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

   Anyone enrolled in DNP program and doing NFLP with extra education classes? What schools? Online? Seems these programs are a little hard to find, easier for PhD (although not online for PhD so much)...

7. Are there medications that you don't/won't write for?

   studentnurserachel replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Really enjoying this thread. My formulary is limited by state restrictions as well as by my "collaborating" physician. I really hated these artificial restrictions at first, but to be honest, I...

8. Need some insight into career direction

   studentnurserachel replied to MrsRachelle_NSMTC's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

   Agree with above posters, when I was in ADN school I just knew I was going to be a CRNA, until I slogged out my year in ICU and actually saw the work CRNAs did (no offense, just doesn't interest me,...

9. Interesting Physician Perspective On NPs

   studentnurserachel replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   This is a little off topic for where the thread has gone most recently, but back to the original idea, there is a pecking order for MDs/DOs too (actually don't all MDs pretty much think they are...

10. NP Changes that need to happen...

    studentnurserachel replied to Sabotai's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Interesting the direction this thread has gone. I would have welcomed a residency after graduation. I didn't (and perhaps still don't) feel as prepared as my husband was when he was fresh out of PA...

11. NELRP is there a thread?

    studentnurserachel replied to JudithL_in_NH's topic in General Nursing

    I received my first payment on 9/19 (same start day and deposit as tgonzalez) but no payment this month even though the rep told me to expect payments roughly every 30 days after the initial payment...

12. NELRP is there a thread?

    studentnurserachel replied to JudithL_in_NH's topic in General Nursing

    AddyRN, what tier level are you in? Have others in your facility gotten emails? I am just curious because I know you have been waiting a while, is it possible to be at a DSH and still in a lower...

13. Frontier Nursing University

    studentnurserachel replied to MystyqueOne's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I Graduated from Frontier's FNP program last November. I did the full-time program and worked full-time in the beginning, then down to part-time, then just one shift a week while in clinical because...

14. NELRP is there a thread?

    studentnurserachel replied to JudithL_in_NH's topic in General Nursing

    tgonzalez and others with contract start dates around 8/15, did you get your disbursement? I thought it was going to be 9/15, but nothing. It is fine because I already paid this month, but I don't...

15. NELRP is there a thread?

    studentnurserachel replied to JudithL_in_NH's topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, I had lots of reading to do as I have been absent from the board for a little more than a week. Congrats to those who got signatures and/or received emails! Just wanted to add for those that...
