Thank you so much for your advise! I absolutely agree! It is very individual! Do u know any programs that are for students who already RNs but lack experience? Thank you!

HI! Thank you for the reply! I know there is a lot of opinions on whether you should spend a year or two and get experience or go ahead and apply for NP right away. I am still considering both options, I think it mostly depends on a person and prerogatives as well as background. Thank you!

I am a new graduate student RN, BSN. I am looking into FNP programs in VA right now. Does anyone know if there are programs that don't require nursing experience? Thank you in advance )

Thank you so much!! It is very helpful!! I will look into certifications I can get while I'm progressive care unit. Are you at the IMCU now? How do you like it?

Thank you for the reply! I just thought that by studying for this certification it would better prepare me for an ICU position and put me ahead of those who don’t have CCRN... ??

Knowledge and wisdom of course are biographical factors! But attitude is a big one as well, not only towards patients, but towards fellow nurses, CNAs, environmental worker and doctors. I don’t think that a person who hates the facility where she/he is spending 12hr a day will make a great nurse ??‍♀️

I am a new grad and just accepted position at progressive care unit. Initially I was hoping to get a position at ICU but unfortunately after a couple months of applying and interviewing didn’t get an offer so decided to accept position at progressive care unit ( some places call it intermediate care unit I think). My long term goal is to transfer to ICU in a year or so. My question is - am I gonna be able to get my CCRN certification after a year on PRogressive Care Unit? Thank you in advance!

Heeeeey I was hired as a clin tech as well! U probably did your orientation already.... can you please share any info about INOVA academy! Thank you!!!

Im going to apply for RN program next fall and currently doing my prereqs. I don't have any healthcare experience. But i want to work at the hospital while im in school. Is that possible? Do i need any cerification and where isbetter to apply? (northen virgnia area)
