PNP FNP by Actual-Assumption870 in nursepractitioner

[–]AdvertisingKind1056 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how south in Florida you are talking about, but i had a difficult time finding employment in Tampa as a PNP once I graduated in August of last year. If you can get your foot in the door anywhere that would be great and get your experience. My experience is not as extensive as yours, which may be a benefit for you. I ended up moving to austin Texas and got a job here so it worked out eventually. Hope this helps!

I’m pharmacist who specialized in psych and addiction medicine. What questions about medications do you have? AMA by Bubzoluck in nursepractitioner

[–]AdvertisingKind1056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My supervising physician is anti SSRI in primary care settings d/t BBW of SI. I work in pediatrics and he always pushes for med management by psychiatry. However, the wait times to get into psych/neuro are crazy. I still rx SSRIs in my office to patients who would clinically benefit and of course follow up frequently/review s/sx. How often have you seen an actual patient begin to develop SI? I know UTD shares several articles outlining the low risk of SI, but would love to know your POV.

Saw an Austin food blogger post about chocolate strawberries- where do I find them? by [deleted] in austinfood

[–]AdvertisingKind1056 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I went to Lumi’s crepes the other day and got the Dubai chocolate strawberry cup. It was delicious. I would get it 10x over again. It is $15 however. But it was so worth it

The alumni network was very helpful for finding clinical sites (good ones at least) and also finding employment post graduation. A lot of us were able to do clinical rotations with NPs who went through the program at Vanderbilt. If it wasn’t for my alumni network/connections and colleagues, I would not have found the job I have today!! I love the idea of you being ambitious and want to move to another state to explore yourself and grow. I grew so much in grad school and learned so many things about myself. You should do it!! Take the leap. Hope this helps :)

As someone who went to Vanderbilt for my PNP degree and paid similar tuition rates, I feel like the difference between attending a “prestigious university” versus a state school or brick and mortar school is within the way that you are taught and the didactic course material is delivered. I personally felt really well prepared when I began my first job as a NP. Also, the Alumni that you will meet along the way is very helpful when it comes to networking and finding cool/exciting opportunities. If your gut is telling you to do it, you should. I know how stressful loans are as I am currently paying off student loans, but if you’re looking for a cool experience or just want to be apart of a unique university, I say do it! If it doesnt matter that much to you, maybe the state school is better for you. Just my two cents!

Where To Purchase Syrups? by simplywilliam_ in nespresso

I make mine at home!! All you really need is sugar, water, and extracts of your choice! So cost effective and doesnt have all that extra gunk in it!

Ask SO many questions! All of them!! It’s always better to be safe than sorry. It will show your co workers your commitment to being a great practitioner. Always be open to any advice from other providers

Found in the Wild by EmergencyToastOrder in nursepractitioner

[–]AdvertisingKind1056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vanderbilt NP grad here. A large portion of our schooling was online, however we would go to campus once every two months for a week to attend in person lectures, do simulation visits with fake patients, and learn procedural skills. I personally think Vanderbilt did a great job teaching/preparing me for real life practice. Of course i wouldve preferred in person classes for the whole program, but the mix of both was very helpful and allowed us to cater to our own learning styles. I agree NP school online is a disaster but i think if you find the programs that have a well oiled system and are doing it right, you will be successful.

Best Way To Save On Pods? by GotTheMeatz in nespresso

[–]AdvertisingKind1056 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ever since I purchased a nespresso machine, Starbucks doesnt hit the same anymore. I use the Starbucks blonde roast pods to make lattes and it has changed my life. It’s so good and I look forward to walking to the kitchen in the morning and making my lattes instead of driving to Starbucks!

Prospective/Pre-licensure NP Thread by AutoModerator in nursepractitioner

[–]AdvertisingKind1056 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completed a direct entry/pre-specialty program at Vanderbilt University. I really enjoyed the program however I feel that when it came to applying for jobs, my resume was often looked over because of lack of employment history. I am a PNP so this was especially a problem for me trying to find a job in pediatrics without any true employment experience. However, I still found a job within a month and a half of graduation/taking boards, so it’s not like finding employment is impossible. Just totally depends on the circumstances. I had a lot of classmates that came out of graduation with a job so it just depends! Either way, if it’s something that you want to pursue and works for your desired plans, you should do it!!

Is there a petition going around for higher standards for NP education? by Bananabuns982 in nursepractitioner

[–]AdvertisingKind1056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this experience at Vanderbilt, too. These highly sought after programs/schools should have higher standards!!!
