3. Emergency Dept. NP... A few Questions

   FNP grrl replied to mstay's topic in NP

   1.) no, an emergency NP program isn't necessary to work ED. however, it is my opinion that any NP working in an ED setting should have some kind of emergency work experience as an RN or in EMS or the like- or be an experienced NP, comfortable w/ fast...

   FNP grrl replied to Nelly, FNP's topic in Emergency

   thanks jen! i should also say that in my urgent care job, PAs & NPs work the same position. in my ER job, there are only docs & NPs. not sure why.

   FNP grrl replied to Nelly, FNP's topic in Emergency

   i'll be starting in the fast track of an ER as an FNP soon. i have worked as an RN for years in the ER. i also work as an FNP in an urgent care. the roles are very different. as an FNP, i have more in common with the docs in the ER & urgent care ...

7. ALL NP's PLEASE READ THIS!

   FNP grrl replied to jewelsg627's topic in General Nursing

   julie- i appreciate the way you worded your above post. i had actually re-read my original post recently & i wasn't too happy w/ the way it came across. i think i presented my viewpoint-which is different from regret2004's- in a somewhat judgment...

9. Medical School after NP?

   FNP grrl replied to Dave ARNP's topic in NP

   Dave- You sound like an awesome NP...and I don't doubt that you'd be an awesome DO. I understand your desire not to turn your back on the NP profession....but the way I see it is that becoming a DO will not invalidate your NP background at all. Growi...

11. Emergency Dept. NP... A few Questions

    FNP grrl replied to mstay's topic in NP

    hi- i didn't answer this at first, b/c i haven't been in practice in the ER as an FNP for 1 year (yet)- let me tell you my background & you decide if i can help: -12 years ER nursing -1 semester FNP clinical in fast track of ER -1.5 years FNP/urg...

12. ALL NP's PLEASE READ THIS!

    FNP grrl replied to jewelsg627's topic in General Nursing

    well....i disagree w/ just about every bitter word regret2004 wrote- especially the anti-NP comments. as an NP, i am very respected by staff, patients, PAs, and MDs alike in my jobs. imo, any NP who isn't being respected is either 1.) in a lousy job ...

13. STR8 vs Gay Male RN

    FNP grrl replied to Ah life!'s topic in General Nursing

    thanks for answering. i am still left wondering why you find it surprising gay men do 'hard work' like nursing? to me (and maybe i am misunderstanding), this sounds like you are making the assumption that gay men are typically weaker than straight me...

14. STR8 vs Gay Male RN

    FNP grrl replied to Ah life!'s topic in General Nursing

    i agree w/ this. i would only add one caveat: with rare exception, i think when someone in an obvious position of professional power propositions someone much 'lower on the food chain' even one time (teacher-student is the best example...but so is CE...

15. STR8 vs Gay Male RN

    FNP grrl replied to Ah life!'s topic in General Nursing

    HBS- i just wanted to say that your posts didn't offend me at all. i'm just sorry you got treated so badly. your experience reminds me so much of what women went through (& still do go through sometimes) when they first started to take a stand ag...
