  1. How to increase GPA for NP admission

    gelli.25 replied to Pearl2bNP2016's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In no way do I mean to be a downer, but bringing a 2.3 up to a 3.0 at the least would be pretty difficult and it would take a ton of credits hours, meaning it will also be very expensive. Though I am...

  2. First nurse job 1.5hour commute

    gelli.25 replied to GRN005's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My first nursing job was about 50minutes to 1hour commute each way. It was absolutely brutal. It was a night shift position, 7p-7a. However, it was the only job I could get. I went to job fairs for 2...

  3. Needing encouragement, continue with school?

    gelli.25 replied to blueindigo79's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What made you want to pursue becoming a FNP in the first

  4. Excited & Nervous NP student

    gelli.25 replied to laughlove's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    How is that even possible??? Did you tell your instructor the situation? Don't you have a clinical log that you keep for yourself where the physician (your preceptor) signed off on for each day? Also,...

  5. Passed PMHNP ANCC

    gelli.25 replied to Barnstormin' PMHNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That's so awesome!

  6. Excited & Nervous NP student

    gelli.25 replied to laughlove's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't start until the Fall, but my first clinical is in Spring of 2017. So, right now I am getting into the process of finding preceptors. So far, I've gotten 2 no's: from a Do and MD (at least I...

  7. Tablet vs laptop

    gelli.25 replied to laughlove's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was curious about this topic as well. I recently purchased a desktop within the last year (not because of school but because I needed a new one), I love desktops! It's right here by my windows in my...

  8. How does working as an R.N. beforehand help in being a nurse practitioner?

    gelli.25 replied to sarahnp2b103's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yeah, if you want without the nursing - you should definitely look into PA school or even medical school. I'm absolutely clueless as to why there is even a route to gain credentials as a NP without RN...

  9. Was your first job out of school your dream job?

    gelli.25 replied to team_nurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Now a days, I don't believe it's as difficult to get into your desired job, because there are so many internships which is great! However, it may be pretty competitive as lots of new nurses want to...

  10. New Grad hired to OR but I hate it! Help!!

    gelli.25 replied to herna372's topic in Nursing Career

    After graduating, I had no desire to work on the floor or ICU. Actually, I did not know what I wanted to do as a new graduate. However, after passing NCLEX I took the first job I could get - in a...

  11. New to LTAC

    gelli.25 replied to AnneNugget's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    I worked at a LTACH as my first RN job out of nursing school; I was a newbie, didn't know much about the job and took it. Boy, was it tough. There was 2 floors, a med-surg like floor and a critical...

  12. Walden/online np programs

    gelli.25 replied to 2live42day's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I believe Walden is about 36-40k, which is still a lot for me. Typically in-state universities are a lot cheaper. My program is an in-state university and my tuition is less than 20k. So, I plan to...

  13. Excited & Nervous NP student

    gelli.25 replied to laughlove's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm more excited than nervous! I start in the fall too, the end of August. I'm doing a FNP program though. Are you doing full time or part time and how is your work schedule going to be? Congrats and...

  14. What's your work schedule like during school?

    gelli.25 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm starting my FNP program in the Fall as a full-time student. I was wondering what all of your school and work schedules were like. My first semester has no clinical rotations; courses are online....

  15. Which specialty track?

    gelli.25 replied to keith5486's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I believe FNP is the most qualified track due to the fact that you are working with all ages from babies to the geriatric population. If it weren't for the inclusion of pediatrics, I'd say Acute Care...

  16. What's your work schedule like during school?

    gelli.25 replied to gelli.25's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I do not have that sort of flexibility. I work in surgery, but will have a pretty standard schedule (Monday-Wednesday) 6a-5pm, which will be 30-hours (I'll be...

  17. Starting a DNP Program... advice on anything I should study before it begins?

    gelli.25 replied to jawijrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Following! Would love to hear some recommendations. Since Pathophysiology is one of my 1st classes, I've purchased the required text and have initiated my studying this summer. I'm in a MSN/FNP...

  18. Working while in NP school

    gelli.25 replied to LimeintheCoconut's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Working only once a week for 8 hours should definitely be feasible, but everything's relative of course. I've read lots of threads where people start off as part-time/prn, however, they end up...

  19. UFL BSN to DNP Program -- How much can I work during school?

    gelli.25 replied to jawijrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't attend UFL, but I am enrolled to start as a full-time student this fall for my program. I will also be working full-time (30 hours, 6a-5p), M-Wed. So, I'll have Thurs-Sunday for clinical. The...

  20. How important is the personal goal statement to apply for fnp school?

    gelli.25 replied to *Butterfly8*'s topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think personal statements can be a pretty big deal, depending on the university. Some programs do not require personal statements. I think personal statements have a lot to do with how well you can...

  21. What's your work schedule like during school?

    gelli.25 replied to gelli.25's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    hey! I was accepted into ISU as well but decided to go with Angelo State as it was a better fit for me. I'm hopefully going to work a max of 3 days a week for the whole program, that's the plan at...

  22. What's your work schedule like during school?

    gelli.25 replied to gelli.25's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for your input! I've requested to work (3) 10 hour shifts starting this fall, Monday thru Wednesday - no holidays, but still have to take call like 4 times a month. Hope it works too, good...

  23. What's your work schedule like during school?

    gelli.25 replied to gelli.25's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks a lot! Definitely whenever I start clinical I'm going to (3) 10 hour shifts, which will be Spring of 2017. I'm trying to debate which shift I should take for the Fall 2016. I don't want to be...

  24. Taking Anatomy for the second time

    gelli.25 replied to hellfirecat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Same thing happened to me in undergrad. I was in a ton of classes: A&P, A&P Lab, English, Statistics, Sociology and 2 electives and it was my 1st semester in college! I was crazy. I guess I...

  25. Advanced physical assessment class

    gelli.25 replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My program has an advanced health assessment clinical and an advanced skill/procedure clinical; both require mandatory clinical hours with approved preceptors. We also have a mandatory 2-day on-campus...
