  1. The Florida job market cannot be this bad?!

    Have you tried the Minute Clinic website? There appear to be many Florida NP positions there.
  2. Nurse Practitioner in Palliative care

    I am nurse practitioner working in palliative care. My specialization is primary health care (family) so I can treat all ages, though the majority of my patients are adults. Of those, the vast majority are end of life cancer patients, but there are...
  3. Michigan licence

    Just a question for those of you practicing in Michigan: I am a Primary Health Care (Family) NP in Ontario. I have a Michigan RN license and am a US citizen. I would like to write the AANP exam to obtain US (Michigan) license. My question is not abo...
  4. NP to Doctorate CRNA?

    Is anyone aware of program(s) geared to a Family Nurse Practitioner (MSN) to doctorate level CRNA? I am not sold on the DNP for DNP's sake, but would be willing to pursue a doctorate degree if it afforded me new clinical training. I think it would ...
  5. Should i become a nurse practioner or wait?

    In my opinion, you NEED to practice independently as an RN for at least a few years before pursuing your NP. In years past there was no option for direct entry because it doesn't really work. Without the experience you gain as an RN, the NP program...
  6. Canadian RN, taking US NP program online?

    i got my NP in Ontario and live in Ontario. I got my RN in Michigan and am licensed in both MI and ON. I have a friend who did her NP at Wayne State University in Detroit, and works as an NP in Ontario. If you do not have residency in Canada, it w...
  7. Flexibility as an NP

    I work full-time, 37.5 hrs divided into 4 shifts ( I think it comes to 9.375 hrs per day...) as a palliative care NP consultant, and I absolutely love it. I love having an extra day off each week. I also used to love working 3 twelves when I worked...
  8. Is it possible to work 40hrs while in ANP online program?

    I was in NP school full-time, with a predominantly online component. I averaged 70 hrs a week with school work and clinicals. There was no way I could have worked on top of that and still had any semblance of a family life (which is very important ...
  9. The case of the missing pens: A rant and an idea

    How ironic! I just read your post, and then I stumbled on this site (how to foil thieves from stealing your pen...quite humorous!!) Enjoy! http://prankked.com/index.php/pranks/pen-prank/
  10. Difference between MN and MSN

    Just a slight clarification...in Ontario, one as yet does not need an MN or MSN to be a Nurse Practitioner. You need an NP certification and to write and pass the RN(EC) (Registered Nurse in the Extended Class). While many NPs choose to go on and c...
  11. Will DNPs be chosen over MSNs?

    The ONLY way I would even consider the DNP, is if I were convinced it would improve my clinical ability as an NP and provide me with CLINICAL knowledge and education I do not already possess. There is not a single program out there yet (and I have lo...
  12. Average Hospice NP pay per visit

    I am a community palliative NP, and I find that a thorough assessment takes way more than 15 minutes (usually 1-2 hours for an initial assessment visit in the home, not including drive time), to get a thorough history and physical. But, maybe as a "...
  13. RNs being negative about NP school

    Be true to yourself...there will always be negative people. In my region, there are actually more NP positions than people to fill them. There are definitely more NP positions than full-time RN positions. The market here is such that employers wou...
  14. Staff and artificial nails

    Just a bit of devil's advocacy...I do not wear artificial nails now (I work directly with patients). However, I did wear them when I had an administrative position. Regarding the possibility of skin tears: my nails were much less "sharp" when coate...
  15. Any one else feel this way

    Absolutely...every day!!! I am 6 weeks into my new job, and am humbled and elated daily.
