I was also very concerned about the job market, as I just graduated from NP school in April. I have been applying all over the country, to many positions every day. I thought I'd just apply everywhere, give it my all, and see. I am finding that ra...

I am a new grad NP with pretty diverse RN experience. I am on the other side here, as I have a great job as a RN, and I am looking for a good fit as a new NP. I have been applying for jobs for a few weeks, and have been very happy to have had many ...

I just graduated in April, and I am considering an opportunity with a start-up company in my field of geriatrics, where I will be the evening NP for a sub-acute rehab. I used to work in rehab as a RN, and I always thought there were not enough provi...

I am studying for my board exams and am working to clear my mind of experience and focus on evidence-based practice. The RN role is not the NP role, and that's my best advice. You'll learn in school how to think. My 10 years of RN experience will ...

It is one year in length, and the pay is competitive after that. I agree that off-hours are great. I work the evening shift in my current RN position. I didn't say this is in the SF Bay area. I guess it would be about the same rate as my current ...

I think the follow-up on this is the current challenge for new grad NP students. NP role is not RN role, and NP school should prepare us to be effective and confident novice providers. We have only ourselves to blame for the current difficulty for ...

I respect that you are realistic about the amount of energy and time you want to devote to school at this time. The end result is that you need to be ready to function as a provider with that knowledge base, and as much as the fast-track or trade-sc...

Anyone in the business knows the difference between the for-profit online schools and an established university with an online program.

UC does provide help, but like most schools, is not going to do the work of finding preceptors, per se. For example, I got a list of over 50 MDs and NPs who served as preceptors for former students in my state. From there, I contacted people. I a...

I go to U of Cincinnati and love it. One of my professors sent out a U.S. News & World Report rating of online NP schools, and we are in the top ten. That's only one way of discerning, but is a well-established and recognized yearly guide since...

I am currently in my third semester of an Adult-Gero Primary Care Program at U Cincinnati. I work on a PCU in a hospital, but most of my 6 years as a nurse have been out-patient. Most of my contacts and all of my mentors for guidance and preceptor ...

I am in my third semester of NP school and have been a nurse for about 5 years in a hospital. I want to move to California when I graduate from NP school. I attend U of Cincinnati online program, which is recognized by CA for NP licensure. I under...

I'm going full-time and work 24 hours/week.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I am a third semester NP student and am committed and hungry for insight from preceptors about expectations. I am shocked by the behavior of the students who were late and disrespectful, and a...

I am in my third semester of NP school. A big part of my plan includes staying positive. In addition to absorbing all I can in my courses, reading additional resources, appreciating mentors, and attempting to adjust my thinking in my hospital job t...

Congratulations to everyone who got in for Spring 2017! i am in my second semester of the AGNP program. The courses are the same for FNP and AGNP, with clinical courses the second year which distinguishes the two. I am still thankful every day to ...
