1. Does School Really Matter?

   ANPFNPGNP replied to pinkORT's topic in NP

   If there's a need for NPs in the area, then it won't matter - they'll hire anyone if they're desperate. Otherwise, it can matter a great deal. Many physicians (and the public) are turned off by online NP programs. How many physicians do you know w...

   I've been a NP for 8 years and I've owned a very busy practice for 3 years. I precept students from various NP programs. I've had students from brick and mortar schools and online schools. The ones from the "brick and mortar" schools were FAR bett...

3. NP jobs at weight loss clinics ?

   ANPFNPGNP replied to carachel2's topic in NP

   These are medical weight loss clinics - there is one close to my office. They prescribe phentermine and you can buy their meal replacements/supplements if you want. They also provide weekly B12 shots.

4. Make Advanced Practice Nurses Independent

   ANPFNPGNP replied to Pete495's topic in NP

   Make no mistake, doctors oppose our independence because they are afraid of losing MONEY. We've all seen where a physician controlled health care system has gotten us - it's time for a change! Physicians love NPs when we're working for THEM and maki...

5. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

   ANPFNPGNP replied to Blurr156's topic in NP Students

   Honestly, you need to work as a nurse practitioner for several years before even contemplating going out on your own. Get a job with a busy internist who specializes in complicated patients, so you will be exposed to a wide range of diseases/illness...

6. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

   ANPFNPGNP replied to Blurr156's topic in NP Students

   No matter how many years of nursing experience one has, NPs need several years of NURSE PRACTITIONER experience before going out on their own. I made sure I had 5 full years of experience with most of that time spent working side by side with physic...

   ANPFNPGNP replied to ebkayaker's topic in NP Students

   Why don't you just take the ANCC instead?

8. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

   ANPFNPGNP replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral

   You are the one who takes everything personally. Considering the fact that you work at a Children's Hospital, you are obviously encountering children who are very ill. Therefore, you really don't have the educational background or training which is...

9. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

   ANPFNPGNP replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral

   Guess what VIRAL NP, those patients will more than likely see a NP/PA in the ER too! NPs/PAs work in the "fast track" at ERs and see the majority of patients who come there. I know that FOR A FACT because I used to work in the ER as a NP!

10. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral

    What privileged universe are you living in? It's apparent that you have absolutely NO IDEA what goes on in the REAL WORLD! There are not enough primary care physicians NOW...are you totally out of touch with reality? As far as people taking their...

11. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral

    Since when is medical school the ONLY way to go? In NM, psychologists and optometrists can prescribe medication and they never attended medical school. The studies have shown they provide excellent patient care in comparison to physicians. In OK, opt...

12. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral

    I don't think I'm equal to a physician. However, I know that I can take care of the majority of healthcare problems that present on a day to day basis and I know when I can't. I refer to a "higher level of care" for complex issues that I'm unable t...

13. Should NPs become COMPLETELY independent?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to BS, NP's topic in NP

    What I have a problem with is when someone comments that independent NPs are a danger to patients. If you make that comment about me, then you better be able to prove it.

14. Should NPs become COMPLETELY independent?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to BS, NP's topic in NP

    Wowza, where do you live? Are you not aware that NPs in several states have been completely independent of physician oversight for years now? This is NOT a new phenomenon. Make NO mistake about it, this is a $$$ issue. If physicians TRULY though...

15. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    ANPFNPGNP replied to MONEJA783's topic in CRNA

    It is ALL about the money, make no mistake about that. CRNA's ARE replacing anesthesiologists and will continue to do so. Here's the latest study that was just released comparing outcomes. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/726427?src=emailthis ...
