re: Pediatric Nurse Practitioner student

Posted by trowe24 on 5/23/22 at 10:18 pm to
I am at University of South Alabama, and looking to do clinical in the Baton Rouge/surrounding areas. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for making this known.
Why would this be important ? There are male PNPs, but if you must know, I am not.
I honestly forgot about this site until now, when I started to think of sites where I can reach a large number of people.

Pediatric Nurse Practitioner student

I am a PNP student beginning clinical this spring. On the look for a preceptor, as this can be a lengthy process. Does anyone know of a PNP, or pediatrician who would be willing to let me follow them, beginning Spring 2023?

Out the gate?? Did you not read her response to me? I'm very empathetic; however, you get what you give.

This is true.

• I work in a hospital now, so while I know I love nursing, I know that I will also want to further my education. I'm young, no kids, and still have the financial support of my family...so why not?

•You are right, some hospitals will hire new grads and give them a very intense orientation, I happen to live by one that grants that opportunity :). The associated school requires 1 yr of ICU experience (2 yrs preferred), so years and years of ICU experience is not always needed.

• I love the bitter nurses who hold so much envy and animosity towards students/new grads who have aspirations of furthering their education. For most of them, life has gotten in the way, so now they talk down on those who have the chance to do what they could not.
So what life circumstance prevented you from furthering your education "lsunurse?" Kids? Failed marriage? Unforeseen circumstances.... Just thought I would ask :)

•And shall I decide to go to CRNA school, it will be because I LOVE the field of anesthesia, not because "I hear they make money." Trust me there are more ways to make six figures, that don't involve 8-10 years of schooling, or thousands of student loan debt.
Also for an added note:
I happen to be the daughter of 2 successful business owners, so when I'm ready to make the big bucks, I know exactly who to refer to. Let's just say that this CRNA $$$$ you speak of, is chump change compared to what I've been exposed to, and will only be a mere stepping stone to bigger and better things.

Good night :)

It is, but I would like to job shadow before I begin school for it, to make sure it is 100% a field I want to go in.
Kind of like how I shadowed a nurse before nursing school :)

I'm in nursing school (graduate next Fall). I'm interested in CRNA school. Can anyone refer me to a nurse anesthetist to job shadow?

Thanks for the advice. Did you work in a hospital here in Louisiana, if so did you get great ICU experience?

OLOL requires 1 year, but prefers 2 yrs
LSU requires 1 year

Thank you! I've considered PA & MD, but I don't want to be in school for that long, or incur the large amount of debt. I'm also much more interested in the nursing model, than the medical model.

I'm on the junior level at Southern University School, set to graduate Fall 2018! So far I've completed Med surg clinicals, and this semester is Peds and OB!

I have 1 yr left in nursing school, and I'm interested in becoming a CRNA in a couple of years. With that being said, I would love to job shadow a CRNA, but I have no idea on where to begin to to find someone to shadow. Does anyone know someone?

Also those who know CRNAs, do they love their jobs?
You make that here in Baton Rouge?

I tried one of the units, and no one ever picked up. I could have been transferred to the wrong area though.
