  1. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

    Oh yeah, I know MDs can do fellowships. It's still a form of post graduate training. There are also NP fellowships (although not the same, of course). Still, there are options for NPs to gain post graduate training. I just want to see NP education be...
  2. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

    DNP is not a clinical degree. It's a nursing practice degree. There's a difference. When you finish NP school at the MSN level, you're expected to be competent to practice. If you want to enhance your skills and knowledge, you can do post graduate tr...
  3. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

    Yes, the AMA is also going after PAs. I agree that NP education could be more rigorous, but the AMA would still be targeting NPs regardless. CRNA and PA education are both more rigorous, yet the AMA and PPP (Physicians for Patient Protection) are sti...
  4. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

    I don't see the DNP becoming more clinically focused because it's not a degree for only NPs. I think all these different pathways can be confusing, but DNP programs with NP tracks are still two separate pathways combined into one. I'm not sure if DNP...
  5. DNP NECESSARY????

    I am currently in a DNP program, and I'm doing it for two reasons: 1) My own professional development 2) Remain competitive in the far future since schools are pushing out NPs/DNPs like crazy I really wish it was a more clinical focuse...
  6. HUGE step forward for NP's!!!

    I 100% agree. The work I do is very demanding, and I often leave for home after hours (no overtime) and burned out. I love what I do, but I also want to be fairly compensated.
  7. Unhappy and stressed as NP- seeking advice.

    I'm in psych, but at times I also feel the pressure of being fully responsible for someone's care and making clinical decisions. If I'm unsure about anything, I go to the MDs or more experienced NPs for guidance. I'm still under a year since I starte...
  8. Med students and residents (only first and second yr residents) rotate through our clinical site and they're paired with a different provider every day, either MD or NP. Just wondering if this is common and if NPs feel comfortable teaching non-nursin...
  9. NP vs MA vs MD power struggle

    This is common. I was the first NP at the practice I currently work at and the MDs had no clue what I could and couldn't do. They also didn't know what required close supervision and what didn't. There are still forms (psych evals, HRAs, labs, treatm...
  10. PMHNP prescribing questions

    I work in a psych clinic. I do prescribe docusate, glycopyrrolate, etc, especially for clozapine related side effects. I will also prescribe meds like propranolol if needed. I will NOT prescribe antibiotics or treat anything not psych related or psyc...
  11. Of course this question depends on practice setting, practice culture, etc, but how do you typically deal with it?
  12. DNP vs MSN

    The way I see it, the DNP is a waste of time. There is no incentive to pursuing one other then a feeling of self accomplishment. As a new NP, I'm seen as an attending with a full caseload. Meanwhile, residents are still learning, taking classes, and ...
  13. Is getting your DNP worth it?

    This is an interesting topic. While I do agree that DNPs introducing themselves as Dr. Jane Doe without context could be confusing to patients in the hospital setting, I think the appropriate solution would be to gradually educate the public. I don't...
  14. PMHNP review books?

    Board vitals did help when it came to learning the material in-depth (the explanations for the answers are amazing), but the questions aren't worded the same as the actual exam. The board vitals questions were much harder in my opinion, so it over-pr...
  15. PMHNP review books?

    As far as review books go, I used Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Review and Resource Manual, 4th Edition. The other resources I used were: - Boardvitals - Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Certification PracticeIQ from ANA - ...
