  1. Canadian NP License Question

    Hey All! Looking ahead, I'm thinking my hubby and I may look to get our NP licenses transferred into Canada. I already know each province has its own specific process and what it does and does not accept. The question I am looking to figure out ...
  2. SgonzoCPNP, thank you so much! That really helps. I have gone ahead and submitted all of my required documentation to the NursingCAS so as to hopefully enroll soon. Since I am already an AGNP and an ACNP, I will only be needing to enroll in the DNP p...
  3. Hey everybody! I’m an AGNP & ACNP (have been practicing as an APRN for 5 or 6 yrs now), and I am thinking of going back for a terminal degree. It’s more of a life goal than anything related to wanting to teach or research. I am between a PhD at U...
  4. How can I help educate floor nurses as a Hospitalist NP?

    Wow. That's actually quite an interesting idea. A resource nurse available for paging.... Definitely has possibilities.
  5. Hospitalist NP Certification ever be likely?

    Just google Upenn Streamlined post masters ACNP and it will bring up the info from Upenn's website. Email the one of the two ladies they list on there, and they can answer specifics. It seems to be a great option for those like us.
  6. How can I help educate floor nurses as a Hospitalist NP?

    Thanks to one and all for your input. I actually printed the responses and gave them to my boss who is going to go over some of the ideas and bring them to the head of nursing education. I understand some of you telling me that it isn't my job and wh...
  7. Hospitalist NP Certification ever be likely?

    I went ahead and have enrolled in the Streamlined ACNP post masters at UPenn. It's a good program, well structured, and designed for folks in my exact situation (working as a hospitalist but with an AGNP primary care certification). I'll start this M...
  8. How can I help educate floor nurses as a Hospitalist NP?

    I wish I had the time to do this during my day, but I don't think I would be able to do as much if I did. I would like like to be paid for it, but we will see about that one. I am encouraging more educator positions and better orientation, but pret...
  9. Ok. I'm putting my cards on the table. Putting my money where my mouth is. My boss asked all of us, physicians and nurse practitioners alike, to give ideas on what we can do to help with the flow of patient care at my hospital. In my opinion, right ...
  10. Online vs Traditional NP school

    I attended a mostly online program. We had to attend campus for skills/procedure training, but not for actual lectures. The lecture type material was a variety of things: recorded lectures, podcasts, powerpoint presentations, etc. The assignments wer...
  11. Dodongo, best answer to that question. LOL! Everyone works everywhere but no one is ever truly qualified to work where they work. Yep. I am an AGNP and work as a hospitalist in south MS. Meh.
  12. Primary care to acute care

    I graduated with a degree as an AGNP and practiced outpt internal medicine and urgent care, then I changed jobs after a couple of years and got a position as a hospitalist. So while I don't exactly meet your criteria of going back to school and then ...
  13. Hospitalist NP Certification ever be likely?

    Prelift, I agree. There is not much to be said about how our degree programs are built sometimes. The only reason I have more than the required Basic Chem, Micro, and A&P 1 & 2 is because a long ways back, I originally went to school thinking...
  14. Hospitalist NP Certification ever be likely?

    Thank you thank you. This is fairly much what I was looking/hoping for (as long as tuition wouldn't kill me, so hopefully it is reasonable as you said). Would be great to get some credit for current/past work experience. My hospitalist physicians gav...
  15. Hospitalist NP Certification ever be likely?

    Probably still got another 20 or so years I will be practicing. Litigation worries? No more than the average practitioner. Been thinking about it sucking it up, though, actually. Only 4 years into my NP career....so it could be worth the effort. How...
