  1. FNP vs. ACNP for work in ICU

    gelli.25 replied to Nurseratchet789's topic in Post Graduate Students

    For ICU settings, definitely ACNP. FNP education is for prevention and wellness, more chronic than acute illnesses. You will not get to experience vents, hemodynamic drips, continuous IV antibiotic...

  2. LORs for Multiple Schools

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

    If the school you apply to requires NuringCAS - it makes LORs sooo easy. On NursingCAS once your reference person submits their recommendation letter - it goes to all of the schools you apply to. I...

  3. Got Accepted to Duke FNP. Not sure how to manage student loans, mortgage, and family?

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

    3.91 GPA, good recommendations, and good essay -- I'm pretty sure you could get into a more affordable university with a great reputation. 80K is a lot of money; I could never. I don't have time to be...

  4. Which NP is "safest"?

    gelli.25 replied to totoRN12's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If working in the NICU environment is truly what you want, go for your NNP. NNP and FNP are completely different. FNP deals with prevention, health and wellness - more chronic than acute. NNP is...

  5. How fast did you land a job?

    gelli.25 replied to johndough's topic in General Students

    Graduated in May 2012, passed NCLEX in July 2012, got an offer in August 2012 to start in September

  6. going straight into becoming an NP after BSN?

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

    As far as NP pay, I don't believe it matters if you have RN experience or not. And with Acute care NP vs Family NP...research on salaries. Lots of things are pretty much at the tip of our fingers with...

  7. Austin FNP Preceptor

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

    I'm in the same boat as you. I'm in the Austin area trying to secure preceptors as well. I haven't done much since I was recently accepted into my FNP program this month. But, it isn't as easy as I...

  10. Approaching a potential preceptor...

    gelli.25 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So, I am applying for FNP school for fall of this upcoming year. How do you guys go about approaching potential preceptors? I work at a huge teaching hospital with various clinical sites. Is it...

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

    Thanks so much for all of your opinions. Now that I am actually accepted into the program I am going to start reaching out. My first rotation is January of 2017. Wish me

  12. Cheap online MSN / FNP programs

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

    NP programs can be reasonably priced if it's one of the state's universities. However, the for-profit programs - of course can cost a pretty good penny. I'm spending less than 20K for my FNP program....

  13. FNP? DNP? Wait?

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

    1. I'd say go for it now. I've been in the OR for the past 3 years, which is completely different from primary care. However, the OR has benefited me by enhancing my communication skills most...

  14. So now what?

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

    What about educators? physicians?

  15. Paying for clinical placements?

    gelli.25 replied to travelRN555's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    200 per week?? 15/hr? Omg! That's insanely high. Not sure if that's the norm but that's crazy.

  16. anyone from austin area planning to apply within the next year?

  19. Which has priority? Chronic pain or constipation?

    gelli.25 replied to akruc353's topic in General Students

    I'd say constipation over chronic pain. Constipation can cause patient to bear down during BM, which can "potentially" worsen the herniated disk increasing the chronic pain. Also, constipation could...

  20. Easiest NP specialty to get accepted into?

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

    Oh okay. I'd say the "easiest" specialty to get into, logically speaking, would be specialty tracks (NNP, WHNP, AGNP), due to the fact that the application pool is smaller. FNP and acute care tracks...

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

  22. Easiest NP specialty to get accepted into?

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

    Most universities take a minimum of 3.0GPA overall and last 60 hours. However, think about why you want to be a NP, don't just do it for the heck of it. Unfortunately, NP schools are extremely...

  25. Accepted to FNP program, an $80,000 student loan worth it? I need advice!

    gelli.25 replied to Aik0's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    First off, congrats! In my opinion, I believe it's bit pricey, especially since the NP salary isn't all that great. There's plenty of reputable NP programs that are affordable. However, if that's your...
