  1. South university online graduate school of nursing (msn family nurse practitioner)

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to ModestTruth's topic in School, College Programs

    You can do practicums with an md or an NP. At least one of the rotations has to be with an NP though. You will have a health assessment practicum, then adult health, women's, pediatric, then family I...

  2. travel nursing in florida

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to empatheticRN's topic in Travel

    It varies but expect some take home to be just shy of 1400 unless you are icu or one of the slightly higher Paying specialties. 1300 should be attainable so if it's less than that fight for

  3. South university online graduate school of nursing (msn family nurse practitioner)

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to ModestTruth's topic in School, College Programs

    I believe the exams for APN1&2 are new. I'm finishing pharmacology now, which is just after those two classes. I didn't have exams in either of those two classes. If it is anything like the exams...

  4. South university online graduate school of nursing (msn family nurse practitioner)

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to ModestTruth's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm with you on that. I wish there was less focus on theory and more on practice. Nursing is worried about this so-called theory-practice gap so they put an excessive amount of emphasis on the theory....

  5. South university online graduate school of nursing (msn family nurse practitioner)

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to ModestTruth's topic in School, College Programs

    I understand many of the frustrations people have had with SU. I am in my 7th class of the FNP program. The instructors, for the most part, provide little instruction. The program requires a lot of...

  7. travel nursing in florida

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to empatheticRN's topic in Travel

    Are you wanting to do this as a travel nurse or relocate? The main thing you want to look for is patient ratios. Florida is known for having a higher patient ratio than most states but you can find...

  8. Glut of NPs in coming years?

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to Jules A's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The only problem I see is that admission criteria is far too relaxed. In my opinion you should have a certain number of clinical experience hours (several years worth) to even be considered. All of...

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to NurseJackie87's topic in General Nursing

    So, ummmm.

  10. New Traveler

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to thewandereRN's topic in Travel

    Know the hospital the assignment is going to be at. many travelers accept a contract and end up miserable for 13 weeks because the hospital sucks. Allnurses is a great place to search a specific...

  11. I Passed AANP Certification Today!!- South University Former Student

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to BeautynBrains_RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just a quick question to the former south students. Your preceptors, were they all strictly just doing office primary care or were some of them seeing their patients in an acute care setting as well?...

  12. First assignment advice

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to tara36278's topic in Travel

    You could always try somewhere else, maybe do a couple assignments then go back to that

  13. Question regarding travel nurse experience necessary

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to rugbynurse93's topic in Travel

    Some hospitals require 2 years experience but for the most part it's 1 year experience in your specialty. I have heard of people being turned down for a specific assignment for only having 1 year...

  14. Traveling in Phoenix and Seattle

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to daisybsn's topic in Travel

    Several moderators have contacted me in the last 24 hours so I am now fully aware of the rules. I just want people to enjoy travel nursing so I hope I can contribute to everyone's approval from now...

    Thanks Ned. I enjoy your posts and find them helpful. I am new to this community and want to help others but certainly don't wish to be seen as a troll. I'll be more cautious now that I'm aware if...

  16. Taxes: CPA or file yourself?

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to 88nurse2010's topic in Travel

    If you use hr block or turbo tax make sure you use the deluxe version. The free version leaves out a lot of what you need/can include and deduct. I used turbo tax deluxe version and it did everything...

  17. Scared of owing money

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    Personally the risk isn't worth the savings. If your agency is recommending or even allowing travelers to take 10/hr then they are being extremely shady. My agency won't go below 18...in fact I think...

  18. Offer-need help!

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to MJ795's topic in Travel

    You should get 280 for meals alone. Housing should be significantly more than that. If your total pay doesn't equate to something at 40/hr then you are being taken for a ride. Definitely get some...

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to cardschicarn's topic in Travel

    If you don't mind me asking...is this a travel assignment? And it only equates to 27/hr? Please tell me you get housing stipend on top of

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to daisybsn's topic in Travel

    I'm working at chandler. There are a lot of staff nurses and travelers here that came from banner and they hated it. Consider mercy-Gilbert medical center. It's about 6 miles from chandler regional...

  21. Tucson, AZ assignment

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to ERpinup's topic in Travel

    It's an ok place. Go to tombstone and see where the famous Wyatt Earp gunfight was. Also near colossal caves which is pretty neat. That will only eat up 1 of your days off though. There is really all...

  22. Tampa/Clearwater/St. Pete cities- Help!

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to Swanks916's topic in Florida Nursing

    There is nothing special about st Pete or Tampa. I have family there and in largo, Bradenton, Sarasota. I like largo, Clearwater isn't bad either. I'm not a fan of cities. In pretty much any of these...

  23. Thinking about quitting

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to snider1970's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you are near Phoenix have you tried chandler regional or mercy Gilbert? They aren't too far to drive and have plenty of ADN nurses. Owned by dignity health. Great ratios and they run the place as...

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to Schpazzrn's topic in Travel

    I have no advice for you on this but I wish you luck. My wife and I want to travel to Hawaii so badly. We will probably do it after our next contract so I'd love to hear how your experience there...

    Rod, Male Nurse replied to ssanders1571's topic in Travel

    Regardless of state or city you want to work in, its actually the individual hospitals that you need be concerned with. Allnurses is a great resource to search for a specific hospital and find reviews...
