1. FNP Oversaturation

   NEMurse95 replied to brinksta's topic in NP

   How did you have job offers in all these states as a new grad? Did you seek a recruiter? Or just apply to all these locations?

2. Stress level: RN vs. NP

   NEMurse95 replied to NEMurse95's topic in NP

   From an outsider looking in, it seems to me like this could have a bit to do with having a crumby boss. If (s)he's constantly pushing you to see more patients, he clearly doesn't have quality of care in mind and is being unethical.

3. Case manager to FNP

   NEMurse95 replied to CommunityOB's topic in NP Students

   Hey, OP. Did you end up starting your FNP program? Curious as to see how it went for you. I'm about to graduate with my RN and will be working two years prior to starting my FNP. I do not like the inpatient hospital setting, and I'm looking for alter...

   NEMurse95 replied to NEMurse95's topic in NP

   Thanks for the response. Refreshing to hear. In what setting do you work as an NP?

5. Stress level: RN vs. NP

   NEMurse95 posted a topic in NP

   To all the NP's here, I'm curious as to how you would rate your level of stress of your prior RN career to that of your current NP career. Please provide some background (i.e., current position, previous RN position).

6. RN to BSN University of the Cumberlands

   NEMurse95 posted a topic in School Programs

   This seems too good to be true. The tuition is $199 per credit hour. Has anyone done the online RN to BSN program through them? They're accredited by the CCNE.

7. Dislike RN role-- love NP role?

   NEMurse95 replied to NEMurse95's topic in NP Students

   Nice! Out of curiosity, why did you decide on the DNP route instead of an FNP-MSN? What experience did you have as an RN in those two years working towards your BSN?

8. FNP in family practice salaries?

   NEMurse95 posted a topic in NP Students

   Hello. I'm currently trying to sort out some preliminary plans in my head for what direction I want to take in my schooling. In my head, my heart is set on family practice. I like the idea of outpatient far more than inpatient. I also love pharmacolo...

9. Dislike RN role-- love NP role?

   NEMurse95 replied to NEMurse95's topic in NP Students

   Thanks for the thorough reply. I didn't mean to say anything negative whatsoever about the RN role other than that I think I could better utilize my skills and interests in an NP role. Since starting nursing school, I have NEVER doubted the importanc...

10. Dislike RN role-- love NP role?

    NEMurse95 replied to NEMurse95's topic in NP Students

    Interesting. I've noticed a lot of my classmates have CRNA aspirations. I've floated the idea in my head, but I don't think I would truly enjoy it. The idea of primary care is much more enticing to me. I've also thought about starting in psych (becau...

11. Dislike RN role-- love NP role?

    NEMurse95 replied to NEMurse95's topic in NP Students

    Fair enough. I will probably at least start in Med-Surg to gain some experience and deepen my familiarity with the RN role. My thought for going for FNP is it's versatile. I want to work in a primary care or other non-acute care setting. As deep as I...

12. ...best jobs while in nursing school.

    NEMurse95 replied to brotherbear's topic in General Students

    I work in a retail pharmacy as a pharmacy tech. Having pharmacists who are there for me to ask questions/pick their brains about medications has been absolutely invaluable. My strongest area of schooling/practice thus far has been pharmacology. That ...

13. Dislike RN role-- love NP role?

    NEMurse95 replied to NEMurse95's topic in NP Students

    Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. Why didn't you like being an RN? Also, what makes you say the ICU is more tolerable than other settings? I'm doing an associate's program, but I'm starting my BSN bridge in the fall. So, I'll have a two year ov...

14. Dislike RN role-- love NP role?

    NEMurse95 posted a topic in NP Students

    Hello all. I'm currently in my last semester as an RN student. I went into nursing with the idea that I want to be an NP in a primary care office or maybe urgent care. I LOVE learning about diseases and LOVE learning about medications. I work in a ph...

15. Fluid in lungs--does it HAVE to start in bases?

    NEMurse95 posted a topic in Student Assist

    I just thought of something as I was reading my text. It talks about how a manifestation of pulmonary edema is "auscultation of crackles in the lung bases." This made me wonder...and it may be a dumb question...can you auscultate crackles in the TOP ...
