   Thanks for the post. I appreciate that you love this thread. It is great you want to be an NP and that you have great ambitions. Honestly, your goal to become an NP depends on your status. If you are truly motivated and have the money, I recommend ac...

   I am glad your 17 years have given you what you just said. You know physicians that work with NPs with extensive nursing backgrounds, I know and many other people know those that prefer those without any XP or less experience. They believe those with...

   I agree with you that RN experience is not essential. I never said the DE programs are easy, but just because they are hard does not mean people are not looking for easy ways out. I certainly do believe they are willing to work hard, but not just to ...

   Thanks for your post and I appreciate that you didn't add strong emotions as other posters did. Well the reason I did not become an PA and did an NP is a long story and believe me no one wants to hear it. All I could say is that I would prefer the r...

   Well I sorry you feel that way. I never meant to insult anyone else, and if you are responding to me response in an emotional rather than a logical and ego free discussion so be it. I am not here to "desensitize" or fill my threads with "kisses and r...

   eternity112 replied to pig&fish's topic in NP

   I'm a future NP, currently gathering RN experience. While I will attain RN experience, 1 year minimum before practicing as an NP, the question is whether it is essential and required to practice as an NP. Certainly CRNA require 1 year experience and ...

8. Current RN applied for FNP MS programs.

   eternity112 replied to eternity112's topic in NP Students

   First of all thanks for your response. But on the other hand, there are studies that do not prove any correlation between years of RN experience and NP clinical competence, in fact it is a negative one. Personally IMHO, I feel as if many nurses trea...

   eternity112 replied to pig&fish's topic in NP

   Hi everyone, I have a related question similar to that of the OP. I am a current RN that aspires to become a NP. I have been having a hard time finding a full time hospital job.. however I did not want to simply "stay at home" and just prepare for n...

10. Current RN applied for FNP MS programs.

    eternity112 posted a topic in NP Students

    Right now I am an RN that is almost done with his Bachelors of science in Nursing. I applied to a MS in FNP, most likely getting in. However, I am a little concerned as a lot of people told me that I need RN experience before becoming an NP. On the ...
