  11. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    NYNewGrad replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's not like you have no experience - If you're a good medic with strong assessment skills and diverse healthcare exposure I think you'll be okay. Maybe not first pick over a NP with 20 years RN...

    NYNewGrad replied to NYNewGrad's topic in Medical-Surgical

    NYNewGrad replied to SteveNNP's topic in Emergency

    I'd LOVE to do ER but everyone tells me the ER in my hospital is a complete zoo, with ratios easily exceeding 1:10 at times. Hallway pts are the norm and critical pts stay back against the wall hooked...

    NYNewGrad replied to laurenjarrod's topic in First Year After Licensure
