    mchesney replied to SopranoKris's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  9. University of South Alabama FNP Spring 2017

    mchesney replied to NC-ED-RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for the info on Macbooks. If you don't mind sharing, what were your thoughts on the program? Workload? Relevance of what you learned? Tons of paper writing throughout the entire curriculum?...

  10. Autonomy + Skills + Satisfaction

  13. New Grad FNP job hunting

    mchesney replied to EDNURSE4LIFE's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Likewise, I've seen some physicians that fail to meet the "intellectually gifted" category. I'm not sure job titles or the ability to perform "meaningful interventions" infer intelligence. In fact,...

  14. New Grad FNP job hunting

    mchesney replied to EDNURSE4LIFE's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think it is what you make it. If you wanted to be an ICU RN that focused on the completion of mindless tasks and following very specific instructions, you could do that. You could also be the RN who...

    mchesney replied to husky171's topic in Advanced Practice

    This is a bit concerning. I'm currently a flight nurse in a program based at a large hospital in MI. I enjoy a lot of autonomy and do love my job but was planning on doing the NP program for future...

    mchesney replied to claneRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    From what I've read, it'll be 8-10 weeks from the admission deadline date (3/15) before they let you know. Good luck and let us know how it works out. I applied for the spring 2017 so I'd love to hear...

  18. How can an RN be a flight nurse?

    mchesney replied to cptforge.gil's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    You don't need to be "certified" to be a flight nurse, although there is the CFRN (Certified Flight Registered Nurse) certification you can get, much like CCRN or CEN. Not all flight programs are...

  19. I know you've seen this post 1000 times, but please help me out. Rate my resume.

    mchesney replied to harrird's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    You'd make a very good candidate at my program with just a few things. We require 5 years nursing experience but your mix of ED, ICU, and Peds is perfect. We require all flight nurses to be paramedics...

    mchesney replied to Cauliflower's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am hoping to make the Fall 2016 deadline for the Dual Role NP but will likely be Spring 2017. Would love to hear feedback from current students about their experiences and about how much paper...
