   I graduated nursing school during the recession in Ohio. I had an extremely difficult time finding a job because I was a new graduate. During my spring break, I traveled to Dallas, Texas and submitted my application at the various hospitals in the ar...

   I am an ACNP, working within a hospital. How do ya'll track your net worth? I know you can look at improved patient outcomes, decreased length of stay, and patient load. But how do know the value that you bring to your organization so you can use tha...

   Muse4723 replied to Muse4723's topic in NP

   Just accepted a job offer at a university hospital for 20% more money and way better benefits! I can't believe I put up with such BS for so long. This was definitely a life lesson as a nurse practitioner. Don't let people take advantage of our skills...

6. ACNP or AGACNP? Help?

   Muse4723 replied to LIZZYICU's topic in NP

    The way this issue was presented to me was under time constraints so I couldn't really gather my thoughts to present a logical answer other then I'll think about it and get back with them. I almost felt threatened that if I didn't do this for the hos...

11. Where are you going for your DNP

    Muse4723 replied to Nursetonp's topic in Doctoral

    I currently work 40 hours a week as a NP at a hospital, and I am currently enrolled full time at Saint Louis University's DNP program. It is very challenging but doable. It is all online except for an orientation in the beginning, and presentation of...

    Muse4723 posted a topic in NP

    What would you do as a nurse practitioner? I have been working at a hospital within the critical care areas with 2 intensivists for the past year. Apparently, another group of doctors are interested in a NP of their own, but it isn't budgeted. The CN...
