renzlao MSN, APRN

I think the minimum is 2 courses per semester. There is a semester of 3 courses for part time but only one I think. I’m not sure about the acceptance rate. But I do know people failed in the class and some were delayed and was unable to proceed. 2 o...

They will give your result after your exam but no official results will be submitted to your board of nursing without the official transcript with conferral date.

So I just received an email from WA that they will close my file if I don’t give them fingerprints. I will end up flying tomorrow in short notice. I asked for an extension but they didn’t reply and they wanted it done in 30 days. However, I start my...

I just did this. I applied online. I already have a WA state RN license a long time ago and I just applied for the APRN. You will need to apply for both RN and APRN license. they wanted transcript, verification of NP education, NP certifications and...

Yeah it's like enrolling in a regular class. You pick the day (usually T, W, Thurs ) and time of your choice (between 10 to 7pm PST). But instead of going to school you log in online and attend a zoom class of only a maximum of 12 students. Most stud...

I did. I used pdf versions and read / annotate via my iPad through an app called GoodNotes.

I’m preparing for the exam and Leik says yes.

I work as a travel nurse every weekend while in school for 3 years and paid as I go. It was hard but I’m glad I didn’t take large loans. It was 1,900 per credit. It’s insane. ???

It’s dependent on location. I just graduated and applied everywhere in LA area. Crickets. But the Stanislaus county, CA is looking. They found me through LinkedIn without even applying. Unfortunately I can’t move because of My husband so I’m going to...

I’m graduating with an FNP this semester and there is nothing in the FNP training that’ll make me work in the ICU. My director who is a lawyer don’t even sign credentialing papers for FNPs working in the hospital. I think you need acute care.

I’m sorry ? I feel the same way. I’m graduating in May and I’ve been looking at postings in my area. I spoke to one recruiter who told me one job posting currently have 80 applications! I hope it’s going to get better for you and that you’ll find so...

What is your PICOT question?

I’m in LA. Clinicals cancelled. I’m in my last semester too but our program requires close to 800 hours before we can graduate so we are fine for the boards. I’m currently at 750 hours. I think we are also doing virtual for the remaining 50 hours or ...

I got a text for WA, ER, 3,688$ for 3 days. Total med. 48 hours is 4,983$.

So if we graduate in May do you suggest we start applying for the license now?

I actually like the program. I think they prepared me well into practice. Our last semester is mainly review for certifications. The school found all my clinical placements. I’m in an urgent Care with my last rotation. Although it’s online, you do ne...

I’m finishing with USC in May. I suggest state school with less student loans.

I’m currently at USC. Which one is cheaper? Or are you able to enroll in a school that is state funded? I don’t know if 100k student loans is worth it. I managed to pay-as-I-go and incurred only 20k of student loans. USC includes 2 Courses of soci...

A family of four earning below 117,000 a year is considered below poverty line in SF. When I was there. I paid $1,500 to rent a room. ?

I agree. 24 hours not possible. But working more with lots of OT they do. Majority of them actually don’t even live in SF. One lives in NY. One lives in San Diego. They traveled back and forth. The one that earned more than 200k worked for 17 days st...

I was in SF working as a travel nurse. I got offers closed to $100 per hour per diem. No benefits. I knew staff nurses who made $200,000 but they took so many overtime. More than 8 hours - time and half. More than 12 is double time.

I think ED. You see majority of primary care stuff - sick visit in the ED. I still work per diem in the ER. I actually supplement my clinical with my ER experience. I carry a notebook with me at work and start doing my HPI and PE with select patient...

Over 90k. https://nursing.usc.edu/fnp/tuition-financial-aid/

There is another one that is really helpful for OutPatient medicine from UCSF. It is an app on the iPhone or android and searchable “complaints” rather than diseases. It Includes evaluation and treatment including meds, how long they should be on it...

Yeah, my travel nursing life is better it seems. I can work for 3-months with similar pay as an NP working as a travel nurse and I can take as much time off as I want in between.
