  1. Can a new APRN only work PT or PRN?

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, but it still does not solve the problem of what I do when I graduate from a BSN-DNP program. I don't want to leave my job and I am worried about being able to find a contingent/PRN job as a new...

  2. Question about becoming an NP

    HOPEforRNs replied to lovepeacelove's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am sure it varies quite a bit by what type of NP you plan to become and what part of CA you are in... Generally NPs make more. A bedside RN can make more - clinical ladder, certifications, shift...

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    bump - any hints, tips, or advice is greatly

  4. Help finding FNP Program (Low GPA)

    HOPEforRNs posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm looking for an online FNP program that is both nationally and regionally accredited. I highly prefer they split clinical hours over at least 4 quarters or semesters, but it is not required. I...

  5. Interview Questions

    HOPEforRNs posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am in a MSN program and I need to interview an advanced practice nurse. My 5 questions have been approved. Unfortunately, the nurse I was going to interview backed out and my assignment/write-up of...

  6. Working full time + clinicals

    HOPEforRNs posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have a weird situation. I am a faculty member at a University in the nursing department. I am 60% FTE so I do NOT qualify for tuition reimbursement, but that was not a concern for me because faculty...

  7. DNP Letter of Recommendation

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Do you think it'll hurt me if NONE of my letters of recommendation come from a nurse with an advanced degree? I'm not sure how to get one from a physician either. I suppose I could utilize the intern...

  8. DNP Letter of Recommendation

    HOPEforRNs posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am applying to a BSN-DNP program that will allow me to get a MSN along the way. I will be doing FNP. They require 3 letters of reference from individuals who can speak to my ability to handle...

  9. MSN ed- are you happy with your degree?

    HOPEforRNs replied to BirkieGirl's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I work in nursing education currently. I fully intend to always work in education. I hope to eventually teach FNP students. I do not intend to leave education just because I'm a FNP. I do plan to work...

  10. MSN ed- are you happy with your degree?

    HOPEforRNs replied to BirkieGirl's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Have you thought about getting your MSN in a NP or CNS or CNL role and just taking 9 credit hours of electives in nursing education to qualify for the exam to become a CNE? I recently switched from...

  11. Columbus - in need of a community health preceptor

    HOPEforRNs replied to delilas's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Where are you getting your BSN? Have you looked into the YMCA? They offer a lot of community resources and classes, such as DSME classes. Does it have to be in healthcare? I know for mine, it did not...

  12. Does the University you get your BSN from matter?

    HOPEforRNs replied to sarahstjohn3's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Look at OSU... They are VERY well received nationally for top tier lobs and new grad residencies. However, if you get scholarships somewhere, take it. Large debt isn't worth the name of a school....

    Have you looked into any free

  14. DNP for Nurse Educators

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm in Ohio. I did end up talking to a graduate admissions advisor at a local school and they are willing to waive the GRE requirement and I can do a post-masters DNP + FNP and it'll only be 3 years...

  15. OSU Medical Center - Nurse A/B

    HOPEforRNs replied to LLLovely's topic in Ohio Nursing

    They were "frozen" about a year ago, and they were still hiring. I think their definition of a hiring freeze is limiting hiring, but not stopping it. If there is a job posting, there is an opening....

  16. OSU Medical Center - Nurse A/B

    HOPEforRNs replied to LLLovely's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I have been a part of OSU for the better part of 5 years now so my response is based on direct knowledge, not a random guess. Staff Nurse-A is a nurse with an associate degree and Staff Nurse-B is a...

    Associate degrees versus bachelor's

  18. Capella University

    HOPEforRNs replied to bahamagirlrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm starting a post-masters DNP program next year (that will include a post-masters FNP) after I finish my MSN at Capella. I am going to a highly ranked and regarded DNP program. They were happy with...

  19. resume to CV for only 2 years experience

    HOPEforRNs posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My resume has become impossible to keep on 1 page despite only having been a nurse for 2 years. I have a non-nursing bachelors, an associate degree in nursing, a BSN, and I am now working on my MSN. I...

  20. Choosing an entry masters in nursing program, CNL vs MSN vs BSN

    HOPEforRNs replied to bap9090's topic in General Students

    I have also seen jobs that require a BSN even if you have a MSN. Others require RN experience to get a NP job (usually 2-3

  21. Choosing an entry masters in nursing program, CNL vs MSN vs BSN

    HOPEforRNs replied to bap9090's topic in General Students

    There's always the option of the accelerated BSN to get experience as a RN. It will make you a better NP and allow you more direct experience time to figure out what exactly you want to do with a

  22. Choosing an entry masters in nursing program, CNL vs MSN vs BSN

    HOPEforRNs replied to bap9090's topic in General Students

    While I don't think a CNL is a bad route to go... if you want to be a NP, become a NP. There are a boatload of programs available for non-nurses with a bachelors degree to earn their MSN as a NP and...

  24. American Sentinel University DNP

    HOPEforRNs posted a topic in School, College Programs

    Has anyone attended this University or have any information on it? I am looking for a DNP program that has a nurse educator focus! I am working on my MSN in Nursing Education and currently work as a...

  25. American Sentinel University DNP

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in School, College Programs

    What does that mean outside of transferability? My MSN will be from a CCNE and regionally accredited school so I would presume that would allow me to attend any school in the country for additional...
