Thanks everyone! I've been studying like crazy and I did in fact over study. There were so many things I was stressing over that weren't even on the test and somethings that I was like "ehh this probably won't be on it" actually were. (normally how it goes, right? LOL)

Congrats! What type of nursing do you want to do?

[k everdeen]

I REALLY want to work in the NICU or L&D. I would love to start out in an ER though (which I know is um.. unlikely lol!)

ETA: I eventually want to become a Nurse Practitioner and do family medicine.

That's awesome! NICU nurses are some of the smartest and most dedicated people I have ever met.

Congratulations! I just got hired on for nursery/NICU and I precepted in L&D. Both very excellent choices I would like to be a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner but after 2014, I've heard it'll change from a master's program to a PHD program. An additional 4 years of nursing school is intimidating!

I've heard that too! Ugh! Ha. Though a couple nurses I've talked to have been saying they have been saying they were going to do this change for years and it has yet to happen so we'll see.

I heard it was 2016 that they'd change to PhD (I heard this maybe 3 years ago?). One of the big problems is that there just aren't enough schools and teachers for a PhD program. It's hard enough staffing BSN programs.

I thought I'd like to go for my NP, but I'm just not a good student. I'm way too lazy to invest the effort., especially if it requires paper writing. Maybe I'll go for CNS instead as my real love is still research. I've also put my plans for my MPH on indefinite hold.
