3. New Grad NP - which job would you take?

   mom2grace replied to serenitylove14's topic in NP

   If the urgent care has other providers working at the same time I would take that over CVS. From my conversations with cvs NPs, They do all their own cleaning, ordering etc.

4. Multiple masters?

   Neither of those are helpful for NP. Unless you want to teach, I would just wait until you are ready for NP.

5. How can I help educate floor nurses as a Hospitalist NP?

   mom2grace replied to Bumashes's topic in NP

   I would first meet with the veteran nurses & ask them where they need education. Then survey the new nurses about what they think they need. Give them what they want & add in what you think they need. Definitely do it in real time on the ...

6. Income woes - take a new job?

   mom2grace replied to mom2grace's topic in NP

   My contract just states that I am an hourly employee and the rate. It does not specify the number of hours. I think the MD does want my practice to grow as it ultimately increases his income but I can see that it will grow much more slowly than I ant...

   mom2grace replied to mom2grace's topic in NP

   Thank you. I am definitely a trust your gut person but I needed the reminder. I insisted on shadowing for every position I interviewed with and that helped to eliminate a few. I'm not that concerned about my resume, I can pretty comfortably say t...

   mom2grace replied to mom2grace's topic in NP

   I hear what you are saying. I am feeling a bit of the same way, don't get more invested than I already am. During the interview process we discussed that their practice was growing and that the provider that took over for a part time provider 4 mont...

11. Direct Entry MSN Program Opinion

    mom2grace replied to med_life_for_me's topic in NP

    This! And this is why major universities are beginning to not require practice as an RN first. Research does not show RN experience is helpful when it comes to NP practice. My NP program has some new grads in it and they are at no disadvantage. T...

    mom2grace replied to turnforthenurse's topic in NP Students

    I did end up delaying my admission waiting on other schools. I did lose a deposit, but it was well worth it. The 3 programs in this scenario for me were brick and mortal, major univerisities. I went with a brick and mortal (Big 10 university) wher...

    mom2grace replied to turnforthenurse's topic in NP Students

    I accepted at a few schools, one at a time, as I got accepted to schools that were a better fit, I declined the other. So I only held one spot at a time so that they could accept the next student on the list. What I found was that there is no clear...

    Are you confusing USI (U of Southern Indiana) and ISU (Indiana State University)?

    I've been accepted and am considering it. Can you tell if it is all 'self-taught' vs. online video interaction, etc? Do you know what I mean?
