   Shaggyb2000 replied to Shaggyb2000's topic in NP

   Thank you Juan. I'll be honest that I'm glad you responded. You have a lot of information that is very helpful and is presented in an easily digestible manner. I've read your background elsewhere, I think you are an ACNP in California, but I can't re...

2. ACNP vs FNP post-masters

   Shaggyb2000 replied to guest538567's topic in NP

   The only difference is in the training and your liability. Technically, you could see the same people in the hospital setting that you see in primary care. But, if a lawyer wanted to get "froggy" they might could cite you on not being "technically" t...

3. AG-ACNP working in primary care or urgent care

   Shaggyb2000 posted a topic in NP

   Are there any ACNPs that work in a primary care clinic or Urgent care clinic, as well as the hospital setting? The scope of practice for ACNPs in NC, where I practice, states that we can see patients with acute or chronic conditions in any setting th...

5. Is there a difference between ACNP and AG-ACNP

   Shaggyb2000 replied to Rybo1290's topic in NP

   The certification and title will be changing to AG-ACNP but there will not be a difference. The program teaches a little extra about Gerentology because they are eliminating the Adult Gerentolgy NP degree so they just combined it. You'll be fine in e...

6. quick questing for those with some experience

   Shaggyb2000 replied to hn8404's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yeah, thats pretty much what I think but I would call the universities now and start taking whatever classes are on their pre-req list there at CC so you'll have as many out of the way as possible. Whatever you can do to lighten your load while your ...

7. Advice from experienced RNs please!!!!!

   Shaggyb2000 replied to Missy89's topic in SRNA

   If you are almost finished with your BSN then I would suggest you stick with it and apply for an NP program. It will take less time than going to med school and you can do everything a med degree would allow on a primary level, even specializing(card...

   Shaggyb2000 replied to hn8404's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Go straight into an RN program. If you don't have to work full time then go into a Bachelors of Science in Nursing program and get all 4 years out of the way. I'm not sure I understand what kind of courses you are talking about that they are offering...

11. How do I pay my bills?

    Shaggyb2000 replied to PLM311's topic in General Nursing

    Why would you suggest it a good thing to live off the government while you go to nursing school. Looking for ways to rip off taxpayers to pay for your interest in becominga nurse is not good advice.For shame, Larry77, for suggesting it. Either save u...

    Shaggyb2000 replied to SBinGA's topic in Union

    Basic Economics: A Citizen's Guide to the Economy by Thomas Sowell is a book every person, ESPECIALLY nurses, should read. It will explain in clear and absolute terms why the individual is better off making his own decisions for himself rather than h...

13. Reasons Why YOU Won't Join A Union

    Shaggyb2000 replied to SBinGA's topic in Union

    Union ideas come from the great ideology of socialism. H2M has POSITIVE quotes about union's from Big Union websites. SHOCKING! They want everybody to be equal, but guess what? The only way to make everyone absolutely equal is to take everything from...

14. Reasons Why YOU Won't Join A Union

    Shaggyb2000 replied to SBinGA's topic in Union

    I don't want to get beat up for not staying in lock-step with whatever the union bosses have decided to do. Getting buried under the in-zone of a football field is not the future I want.
