  1. They pay what???

    I always thought that eventually I might want to teach, so I jumped at the opportunity to teach a didactic course this summer at a local associate degree program despite low pay, so I could see if...
  2. Happy to be in Nursing education

    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...
  3. Job market in Fayetteville, NC

    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...
  4. Soaking up all advice before starting Direct Entry MSN

    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...
  5. Questions for a FNP

    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...
  6. TSH range....?

    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...
  7. NFLP with DNP anyone?

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

    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...
  9. Need some insight into career direction

    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,...
  10. Interesting Physician Perspective On NPs

    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...
  11. NP Changes that need to happen...

    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...
  12. NELRP is there a thread?

    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...
  13. NELRP is there a thread?

    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...
  14. Frontier Nursing University

    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...
  15. NELRP is there a thread?

    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...
  16. NELRP is there a thread?

    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...
  17. NELRP is there a thread?

    Yesterday I got the "welcome to the program" email/letter and the detailed award worksheet was available along with projected first payment information. Like others in past years, I am a little...
  18. They pay what???

    So, since we are talking numbers, none of what you guys said sounded that terrible to me. My jaw hit the floor because the dean told me the starting pay would be around 42k, and that is 42k for a 12...
  19. NELRP is there a thread?

    Oh my gosh! My contract was signed by representative today at noon! I am doing my happy dance because I have to believe that is a good sign! I got the initial email on 7/18 though, so quite a wait...
  20. NELRP is there a thread?

    There is still time, the lowest RN D to I ratio I have seen with an email is 115%, tier 1. I don't understand the NP who is hanging out in tier 1 and over 100% and still saying "submitted," seems...
  21. NELRP is there a thread?

    Oh, these theories! Who knows? But if it helps: NP, Michigan, Tier 1, D to I 90%, Last name starts with
  22. NELRP is there a thread?

    So happy for all the RNs finally hearing, this sounds like a wave finally, where it has been a little trickle until now! I am also stressing about whether or not I will actually get the award. I...
  23. NELRP is there a thread?

    I never looked until just now, but I have the award letter/worksheet listed in the application, can't read it
  24. SO mad...and not sure I should be.

    Note to admin, I think this thread has become way too heated, as discussions of abortion are wont to do. Trying to address original issue here (as I saw it), as a few posters have said, I think it...
  25. NELRP is there a thread?

    Mine still just has my signature on it. I know it is not fair to worry about whether or not I will actually get it since I have been lucky enough to get the email, but I really don't understand why...
