  1. FNP vs ACNP

    Wrong. I clearly state that my experience is just that and that others may have had a different experience. And my personal experience, is, by definition, anecdote. I was then replied to by NYCguy that stated that Juan might have have a different exp...
  2. FNP vs ACNP

    Really? They are managing ICU patients??? They are diagnosing coronary artery disease/occlusions based on their caths, and their own readings/interpretations with no MD present in the cath lab??? You do realize that driving a cath and diagnosing CA...
  3. FNP vs ACNP

    I do not "realize the irony," and hope you will comment further. Where I work (anecdotal), we have nothing but Intensivists (4 year MD + 3 year IM residency + 1-2 years pulmonology + 1-2 years intensive care) in the 120-bed ICU. Despite that extensi...
  4. FNP vs ACNP

    Yes, me too. Anecdotes, however, mean nothing. Perhaps Juan's area fully uses ACNP's to their fullest capacity. Or perhaps only he is. In my area, they do as I described - glorified RN's. And some may be happy with that. What matters is not what Jua...
  5. New Grad in Urgent Care Working Alone?

    Yes, I will read images. There is a second clinic not far away where there will always a physician I can call, and he can also access the x-rays that I shoot. Nonetheless, I share the same concerns you mention.
  6. FNP vs ACNP

    Several things. First, they are entirely different specialities. FNP does not prepare you for hospital based work, though I see some FNP's in my area working for specialists in the hospital or with the hospitalist service. However, the IOM Future ...
  7. New Grad in Urgent Care Working Alone?

    Did you have any NP experience when you started in UC? How long did you train in the clinic before going it alone?
  8. New Grad in Urgent Care Working Alone?

    Thanks for the input. Yes, the "sister" clinic is where my preceptor is at and it's about 10 minutes away, and will always have someone there I could reach out too. I like urgent care, and like the group that runs the clinic, and like the idea of 3...
  9. New Grad in Urgent Care Working Alone?

    I'm about to graduate (FNP) and I think I'm about to get in a job offer in urgent care. Ultimately, they'll want me able to work certain days as the sole provider for the clinic (with a physician always available for call). While they have promised ...
  10. UMKC FNP Program

    Another poster on this board (from a few years back) mentioned being given assignments that had nothing to do with advanced nursing (or nursing at all) - did you experience anything like this?

    Part-time.
  12. UMKC FNP Program

    I was just accepted to UMKC's FNP program and was looking for feedback from anyone currently in the program or has graduated from it. Are you/were you satisfied with the quality of the program? Do you feel it has/is preparing you well? What is you...
  13. Short story - left a lucrative and successful career solely to become an APN (specifically an FNP). I'm now about to graduate with my BSN and could really use some guidance on selecting a school and specialty as I begin to apply. Biggest concern is...
  14. Ua fayetteville trad. Bsn program-help me "pass it forward"

    I'm currently in the program and would be happy to answer any questions you have. Here's my overall take on my experience so far. There are a number of good things about the program, and a lot of things that aren't. However, what I've learned is that...
  15. KUMC Grads, Students, Others?

    Looking at the KUMC FNP program. Anyone know if it can be completed at a distance? The program director is out right now, and no one else there seems to know for sure. Looks like most (if not all) of the didactics are on the Internet, but I'm not sur...
