How much do you think your RN experience affects or influences your ability to get a particular NP job? I am an FNP student and was offered a RN job in plastics/aesthetics and am wondering it this experience will make much of a difference for me when...

Hello, So I just started a new job as a plastic surgery/aesthetics nurse. I am learning to do consults before/after surgery, working as a pre/post/circulating OR nurse. After 4-6 months they are going to teach me injections. I feel very fortunate to ...

I am making $25 per hour at a plastic surgery/med spa center in the southeast. No commission, no benefits (other than free services). It was a hard pill to swallow taking such a pay cut from making $40/hr. I am in NP school so this is part of my grea...

So, I ended up explaining that I need time to study because of school and asked to work fewer days than 5/week. They were cool about it and said they want me to work there so I can work 3.5-4. Although I am now making about 1/2 per week than I was as...

I am a part time FNP student. I have only worked as an ED nurse so far (most recently as a traveler). I have always been interested in two areas: Derm and ED. I was just offered a job as a plastic surgery/aesthetics nurse where I will learn to do con...

I am just having a hard time with this decision. I am so glad for allnurses existing so that I can vent. My interest is in medical derm and injections but that's it, I am not a huge fan of everything else that goes into plastic surgery. Overall I wou...

Thanks for your input. You are right about selling yourself and transferrable skills in order to get a position. I have been working as an ED nurse for a while now, so I am just wondering if I should stay in the ER or work in plastic surgery/aestheti...

Thanks for your feedback. I agree that I will be doing a lot within my scope of practice as a RN, especially for the low pay. I just thought that if I will end up getting a good NP job because of it later on, then maybe it will be worth it for what I...

Interview wait-listed

Colorado is extremely over-saturated with new grads. I wouldn't advise moving here until you have experience. There are many schools in CO producing graduates that struggle to find jobs and end up moving out of state. Good luck with what you decide!

I was thinking the same thing. No emails here other than the seasons greetings one.

Congrats!!!! Can I ask- will you be doing clinicals in another state or Nashville?

Nov 1. Bernie and another admissions lady told me that was the priority deadline and that's what I am being considered for.

When I called the school yesterday I was told that the committee is meeting 1/7 and that's when my application will be reviewed. Oh, and I am considered priority decision according to admissions faculty. Good luck to all of us!

1) 2) ED 3) 3.6 4) Colorado

Have any direct entry people gotten any news about admission (good or bad)? I'm curious and impatient with this waiting.

Well congrats! That's awesome. Thanks for your reply.

Weird. Do you already have a BSN?

Congrats!

Congrats to everyone who has been accepted!!! I called admissions yesterday and wanted to share with those of you who are (like me) applying to the MSN/FNP program direct entry (already have a BSN). The admissions lady said "FNP is notorious for taki...

I submitted my application on Sunday and got an email for self-service Monday afternoon.

OBigdog- can you recommend a specific proofreading service? Thanks!

I see, thank you. I assume that email comes after your application has been submitted. I plan to obsessively revise my essay a few more times:-)

I am applying for Fall MSN/FNP. Has anyone been able to see that their transcripts have arrived?
