Hi I wanted to know which book you recommend to prep for boards? I have heard Fitzgerald is good, but not sure if it has enough to apply to ANCC adult-gerontology acute care boards? there is also the new carpenter book for acute care Q and A, wondering which is better? Or any advice at all. thank you

Just think the name value, and the cost of living is cheaper in New Haven compared to Philly. Access to NYC. Between UPenn and BC both are great, just go off location. I personally would do UPENN because of the name (I know how shallow), but honestly anything that will help you get your foot in the door after graduation.

Yale!

Thank you! Very helpful

Thanks for the input Juan, did they ever mention which was easier to work in? Also where is easier to get a job?

thank you for your reply. If I am interested in trauma, cardiac, and surgery- which would be easiest to apply for in SF?

I have experience as RN in NYC, and will be wanting to move to SF, wanted to know prospects. I know both job markets are tight. Wondering if certain aspects are different. Thanks in advance!

Oh yeah I know every big city is like that. Depends where you visited and when, there are trash days that become trash week ha!

I also agree there are so many grads in NYC looking for jobs.

Yeah once you've been a New Yorker any city looks sterile lol

Compared to NyC yes, it's all relative. I have visited many times and am familiar what I am getting into.

In comparison to NYC is it harder to find a job in SF? I'm just wondering more about the hospital systems there and the supply and demand. NYC has quite a few NP students, and few residencies.

out of state from New England area, I love the Bay Area. I lived in NYC for a while and want to try an urban city that is cleaner and has more advocacy for nurses.

I'm from the west not California but have been a nurse in Manhattan and CT. I know nyc is an animal of it's own, so I'm just wondering if it will be harder to find job in SF than NYC?

FOR ACUTE CARE ADULT NP, I wanted to see if any of the community has experience applying to this part of the US. I am not familiar, and just want to see other's opinions. Also how early for CA do you apply for licensure/what are the steps? I am still in school so want to get organized.
