  2. Masters entry Grads starting as NP's and CNS's right out of school, are there jobs?

    BCzito posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I was just wondering if anyone knew of any statistics or info concerning NP's and CNS's from masters entry programs getting jobs as CNS's or NP's right out of college. I am especially curious about my...

  3. Masters entry Grads starting as NP's and CNS's right out of school, are there jobs?

    BCzito replied to BCzito's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I didn't say I didn't want to be a nurse, I DO! I just don't plan to work in an RN role. That may be true that people you know wouldn't hire NP's from a direct NP program, but there are people who...

  4. Direct-entry MSN programs

    BCzito replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Sorry to hear about all that bad news, that certainly can't help the stress factor. And as far as people telling you its the wrong choice, don't listen to them, most people have no idea what it...

  5. Direct-entry MSN programs

    BCzito replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I definately don't think its fluff. I think I may have had that attitude a little bit at first, but quickly found that that was not the case. I think its hard to make the MD or NP decision (I was...

    BCzito replied to askater11's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You think I don't know anything about the real world? Are you so sure of that? I've worked on a receptor involved in new drugs for asthmatics at a major pharmaceutical company doing in vitro assays...

  11. Become a nurse in just 12 months!!!

    BCzito replied to askater11's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree but we mustn't forget to do this in an unbiased way, and really the only way to do that is to get someone who has trained a good deal of both traditional and accellerated grad (not just one or...

    BCzito replied to askater11's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    "cracker box"? I like to have seen you survive just one week in an advanced program. stop judging what you know nothing about, I'm done with you people. You're not flexible, not willing to embrace...

    BCzito replied to askater11's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    good point, I couldn't agree more, not to mention I think this topic definately could be included in the nurses eat their young argument. If a nurse isn't able to succeed on the job then they will...

    BCzito replied to askater11's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think its important to note how difficult it is too get into these programs. I am in one myself, and statistically these students do very well. My program in a masters entry. It may also help to be...

  18. NP w/no desire for RN?

    BCzito replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    why shouldn't we play nicer, it certainly would help our proffession as a whole be more unified, would help our demands for respect be answered, would allow us to better pool our resources by relying...

  19. NP w/no desire for RN?

    BCzito replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think its really important to remember that a great percent of NPs and CNS's go into private practice and community health, or join practices and don't want to be doing some supervisory role in a...

  20. NP w/no desire for RN?

    BCzito replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I thought I'd use a metaphor. Why would someone who only wants to learn how to ride a bike be forced to suffer working as a bike maker for a long time after they already know the basic idea ( ie know...

  21. NP w/no desire for RN?

    BCzito replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  22. NP w/no desire for RN?

    BCzito replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for saying that, I didn't want to say so myself, but I thought that was rather small minded to make the coment that I was outright "dumb" when I know many many other practitioners and clinical...

  23. NP w/no desire for RN?

    BCzito replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree experience as an RN is wonderful, but I also don't plan to be in acute care (I'm psych). Keep in mind too that I am in a masters entry program, so I am not even an RN yet and I am already in...

  24. NP w/no desire for RN?

    BCzito replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
